I'm looking for a fridge freezer with a bigger freezer & smaller
fridge,
so trying to visualise the capacity figures which are given in litres.

AO do give total capacity in 'bags of shopping' but trying to find
anything with more freezer than a 50/50 split is probably impossible. I
want one too.

Oh I like it! A 'bag of shopping' becomes the standard unit of volume
for the housewife! A bit like 'a banana' becomes the standard unit of a

A litre is a cubic decimetre, so 3.7x3.8x7.2.


NT

Hooray.

I was waiting for someone to mention the cubic decimetre.

As Wiki says:

A litre is defined as a special name for a cubic decimetre or 10
centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres, (1 L ‰¡ 1 dm3 ‰¡ 1000 cm3).
Hence 1 L ‰¡ 0.001 m3 ‰¡ 1000 cm3, and 1 m3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is
the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.

More fool you when under the counter is being discussed.

In fact that is a trivial advantage given the
heat capacity of air. And trivially avoidable
anyway by keeping the freezer full.

and it's often easier to keep something large like half a pig ,

But much harder to find what you want in otherwise.

Maybe build some rails for it. Servo assisted traction would be even

At least it would stop one opening the freezer during a power failure.

I would _never_ do such a thing in my kitchen (or yours, either!) and I

if you raise your own meat and dedicating a chest freezer in a shed or

That would be my choice (separate temperature control for a start, and
if one breaks down you can use the other as either a source of ice or a
stop-gap to keep the frozen stuff a little longer) and what we've had

Have you considered separate fridge and freezer units?
That would be my choice (separate temperature control for a start, and
if one breaks down you can use the other as either a source of ice or a
stop-gap to keep the frozen stuff a little longer) and what we've had
happily for the last 30 years.

But SWMBO is insistent she wants a fridge-freezer in the new kitchen...

Buy a pair of coordinating units and stack them (like a washer and dryer).

When I was young, my father said
Son, I have something to say-ay-ay-ay :-)

All married men know that, when The Mrs says she wants a fridge freezer,
then nothing less will suffice. Sometimes, the best choice is not
necessarily the ideal choice.

Let her choose; it's her kitchen.

After all she doesn't insist that you have a Ford Fiesta in the garage when you really want a Harley and a Transit van does she ...

As far as most are concerned separate fridge & freezers stacked ARE a fridge freezer. Many never even realise they are separate!

I chose our microwave, washer, cooker, knives, kettle, coffee machine, radio and juicer based on value and quality.
