AEG freestanding refrigeration covers several ways to keep food cold. There is a large American-style fridge freezer, a larder fridge and upright freezers in two sizes. It suits anyone replacing a single appliance, and also households who prefer a separate fridge and freezer side by side.

The 9000 Series American-style model is 90 cm wide, with French doors over a 378 litre fridge and a 239 litre freezer. It is frost free, so you won't need to defrost it by hand. It also has external touch controls with an LED display, internet connectivity and a stainless steel finish that resists fingerprints. Measure the width carefully and leave room for the doors to swing open. You'll find it again on the AEG American fridge freezers page.

If you'd rather have separate appliances, the white larder fridge gives 134 litres of fridge-only space with automatic defrosting. Among the AEG freezers, the 7000 Series frost-free model offers 278 litres in matt black, with a digital control panel. The 60 cm wide Low Frost freezer is a smaller 85 litres in white. Low Frost cuts down on ice build-up, but it still needs an occasional manual defrost. Frost-free freezers avoid that chore altogether. For more fridge options, see AEG fridges.

To narrow it down, first decide between one combined American-style unit and a separate fridge and freezer. Then think about whether frost-free convenience is worth the extra space a larger freezer takes up. Finally, check the hinge side (the larder fridge opens from the right, the 7000 Series freezer from the left) and choose a finish. The full AEG refrigeration collection includes both freestanding and other types.
