Default Built-in freezer.

In a literal new house, we chose to retain our free-standing fridge and freezer. Two gaps were left, with sockets fitted, ready.

I don't feel there would be any advantage in having integrated appliances. And detest many of the poor quality integrated appliances new home builders tend to fit.

For complex reasons, we got a new freezer and it took a few minutes to replace the original 13A socket with a Schuko socket. Avoiding the need to use the supplied Shhuko-to-13A adaptor - which made the freezer stick out!

Our kitchen layout does mean the fridge and freezer are not visible as you enter or walk through the kitchen. Only when you go round to the working area.
