Bertazzoni fridges are larder fridges: they give you all fridge space with no freezer compartment. Most are built-in column designs for fitted kitchens, and there is also a freestanding option. They suit cooks who want plenty of room for fresh food and are happy to keep a separate freezer, or to put two columns side by side.

The Bertazzoni built-in fridges come in 60 cm, 75 cm and 90 cm widths, with capacities from 294 litres up to 619 litres at the widest. Each size comes in two finishes. Panel-ready, fully integrated models take a door panel that matches your cabinets, so the fridge disappears into the run. Stainless steel versions have a door that shows and are supplied without handles, so you pick handles to suit. Most models come in left-hand or right-hand hinged versions, so you can choose the door that opens away from your worktop. One 60 cm Professional Series model has a door that can be hung on either side.

Most of the column models use Lateral Air Flow cooling, which moves cold air in from the sides to help keep the temperature steady from shelf to shelf. They have a Touch & Scroll control panel, LED lighting, three crispers and an open door alarm. They also offer Shopping, Vacation and Sabbath modes. Shopping mode chills a fresh load of food quickly, and Vacation mode lets the fridge run more gently while you are away. The 60 cm Professional Series model is set up a little differently. It has ventilated cooling, Super Cooling and Economy functions, a crisper with humidity control and a wine rack. If you want a fridge that doesn't need a housing, the Bertazzoni freestanding fridge is a 60 cm stainless steel larder model with 389 litres of space.

To narrow it down, measure the housing width first, because that settles whether you are choosing a 60, 75 or 90 cm model. Then decide between a hidden panel-ready door and a stainless steel front, and check which side the door should hinge. If you would rather have a fridge and freezer in one appliance, look at Bertazzoni fridge freezers instead.
