What should you look out for when buying a fridge freezer?
A fridge freezer combines a fridge compartment and a freezer compartment in one freestanding appliance. That is more practical than a separate fridge and a separate freezer: you need less floor space and only one plug. But there are a few things to think about carefully in advance.
The right dimensions for your kitchen
Always measure up before you order a fridge freezer. Pay attention to three measurements:
- Height: Standard models are around 185-200 cm. A fridge freezer of 200 cm will not fit in every kitchen, certainly not if there is a wall unit or cooker hood above it.
- Width: Most freestanding models are 54 or 60 cm wide. Check that this fits next to your other appliances or units.
- Depth: Do not forget the ventilation margin behind the appliance. Allow for at least 5 cm of space at the back and at the sides.
- Doorway: Can the appliance get into your home and your kitchen? A width of 60 cm goes through most standard doorways, but do check it if you have tight hallways or stairs.
Energy rating: what does it mean for your energy bill?
Fridge freezers run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their energy consumption therefore counts for a good deal in your annual energy costs. The ratings run from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Which energy rating suits your situation?
- Energy rating A: The most efficient option. In the long run you earn back any higher purchase price through a lower energy bill. Ideal if you are going to use the appliance for several years.
- Energy rating B or C: A good balance between purchase price and monthly costs. Suitable for most households that do not want to overpay, but do not want to give up efficiency either.
- Energy rating D or lower: The lowest purchase price. Worth considering for temporary use, a rental property, or when the budget is the single most important criterion.
Capacity in litres: the right balance for your household
A fridge freezer always has a fridge compartment and a freezer compartment, each with its own capacity in litres. As a rule of thumb, allow around 100 litres of fridge capacity per person. If little frozen food goes through the freezer compartment, choose a model with a larger fridge compartment. If you buy in bulk or regularly freeze food yourself, a roomier freezer compartment makes more sense.
No Frost or conventional: which do you choose?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions when buying a fridge freezer.
- No Frost: The appliance automatically prevents ice from building up in the freezer compartment. You never have to defrost it by hand, which is convenient and good for the quality of frozen food. No Frost models are usually a little more expensive to buy.
- Conventional: Proven technology that has been going for decades. You do need to defrost the freezer compartment by hand from time to time, but the purchase price is lower. A perfectly good choice for anyone who does not mind that bit of maintenance.
Our range: Heinner fridge freezers
Heinner is a European manufacturer that makes domestic appliances to the same standards as the big brands, but without the marketing costs and the brand premium that come with them. The result is a reliable appliance at an honest price, exactly what most people need.
Within the Heinner range we offer models in various heights (including models around 185 and 200 cm), with a No Frost or conventional freezer compartment, and in energy ratings A through to D. So there is always a model that matches your situation and your budget.
Whether you are a first-time buyer furnishing your first home, a family looking for the best value for money, or a landlord kitting out several properties: Heinner offers the practical quality you need, without paying for a logo. Take a look as well at our full range of fridges and freezers if you want to compare other options alongside a fridge freezer.
Fridge freezers for first-time buyers and rental properties
A fridge freezer deal is often the first thing first-time buyers look for. That makes sense: with a first home you do not want to put all your money into appliances. Buying a cheap fridge freezer at Pro Witgoed does not mean giving up reliability: every appliance is new and comes with a five year warranty.
For landlords the Pro Witgoed range is even more interesting. A sturdy appliance with a full five year warranty means less chance of complaints from tenants and lower costs for replacement or repair. We also deliver to several addresses, with the same service and no extra charge per delivery.
Do you have a smaller kitchen, a studio or a flat? Then look specifically at more compact models that are less than 60 cm wide or have a lower overall height. Those also fit well in spaces where every centimetre counts. As an alternative you can also look at our freestanding fridges or separate freezers if a combined appliance is not the best choice for your situation.
Common mistakes when buying a fridge freezer
To help you make a well-informed choice, here are the mistakes people make most often:
- Capacity too small or too large: A 200 litre appliance is fine for one or two people, but soon too cramped for a family of four. Look carefully at the litres and at the fridge/freezer balance.
- Not measuring up: The height, width and depth of the space, and the doorways of the home, should always be measured beforehand. That prevents unpleasant surprises on delivery.
- Looking only at the purchase price: A cheaper appliance with a lower energy rating can cost more over a year than a slightly more expensive model with a better rating. Work this out in advance.
- Buying graded stock without a warranty: A second-hand or graded fridge freezer without a warranty looks cheap, but a single fault can cost you more than the price difference with a new appliance.
- Paying for a brand name: The big brands charge a premium for their name. That premium gives you no extra functionality or better quality. Heinner delivers the same result for less money.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a fridge freezer and an ordinary fridge?
An ordinary fridge only cools. A fridge freezer has both a fridge compartment and a separate freezer compartment in one appliance. That makes it more practical and more space-saving than a separate fridge and a separate freezer standing next to each other.
What energy rating does a Heinner fridge freezer have?
The Heinner range at Pro Witgoed varies. We have models available with energy rating A, B, C and D. Which rating suits you best depends on how long you will use the appliance and how much weight you give to saving energy.
Is the fridge freezer delivered and installed free of charge?
Yes. With every fridge freezer you buy at Pro Witgoed, delivery and installation are included. You pay nothing extra and the appliance is ready to use when we leave.
How long is the warranty on a fridge freezer at Pro Witgoed?
All appliances at Pro Witgoed come with a full five year warranty. That is not a limited manufacturer's warranty, but full cover with no exceptions hidden in the small print.
What size of fridge freezer will fit in my kitchen?
That depends on the space available in your kitchen. Measure the height, width and depth of the spot, and allow for ventilation margins (at least 5 cm at the back and at the sides). The doorways of your home are a factor too. Our customer service team will gladly help you work out the right size.
Is a Heinner fridge freezer suitable for a rental property?
Certainly. Heinner appliances are sturdy, new and come with a five year warranty, exactly what landlords need. Less chance of breakdowns and a clear warranty arrangement mean less hassle with tenants.
How quickly will my fridge freezer be delivered?
All appliances are available straight from stock. After your order we schedule a delivery as soon as possible, at a time that suits you. There are no long waiting times or back orders.
What is No Frost and do I need it?
No Frost is a system that automatically prevents ice from building up in the freezer compartment. You never have to defrost it by hand. Whether you need that is a matter of preference. No Frost is easier to look after; a conventional system is usually cheaper to buy and proven to be reliable.
A fridge freezer is an appliance you use every day for years on end. It is worth taking a little time over the right choice. At Pro Witgoed you will find a clear range without needless choice overload, and if you cannot decide, our customer service team is there to help.
