CDA fridge freezers come in two quite different forms. One is fully integrated, hidden behind a kitchen door. The other is the freestanding Florence, a retro-style fridge freezer in colours such as Barley, Meadow and Sea Holly. All have the fridge above the freezer, so the main questions are how the appliance should sit in your kitchen and how you want to split fresh and frozen space.
CDA built-in fridge freezers go inside a tall housing unit behind a door that matches your kitchen. They use a sliding hinge: the furniture door is fixed to the appliance door on runners, so both open together. A 50/50 split gives 147 litres of fridge and around 80 litres of freezer, which suits households that batch cook or stock up on frozen food. A 70/30 split gives 182 litres of fridge for people who buy more fresh food. Every fridge section defrosts itself. Some freezers defrost automatically, while others need defrosting by hand now and then, so check each product's details. The same integrated models are also grouped under CDA built-in non frost free fridge freezers.
If your fridge freezer will be on show, CDA freestanding fridge freezers offer the Florence's retro look. It has more space, with a 234-litre fridge and a 96-litre freezer split 60/40. Its frost-free freezer means no ice to scrape away. To narrow your choice, first decide between integrated and freestanding, then pick the split that matches how you shop.
