Integrated Fridge Freezers - why so much headache?

[rhysduck]

Our fridge/freezer needs replacing as it's dying slowly and quite warm.

Trying to source another that will fit the space and be compatible with the doors that are currently there is proving to be an absolute nightmate

Even fridge/freezers that are advertised as 50/50 split appear to not actually be 50/50 in the Q&A section of the AO.com website.

Current fridge/freezer is a Belling BE811 and I was going to replace it with a Beko BC50F unit.. Reading the questions and answers on AO's website (here it appears the required measurements for the doors are smaller than mine...

Or would these be possible minimum dimensions and my bigger doors would fit?

Can't rip out the cupboard the cupboard the fridge/freezer sits in either.

I don't know your exact circumstances but fridge freezers have a gap between doors so the cupboard doors can overlap the gap. For example I can fit most 70/30 And 60/40 in my cupboard.

I know it's not everyone's favourite brand but Hotpoint tend to have a wide range of integrated fridges.

They were one of the only brands that did integrated larder fridges that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Worth a look.
