Liebherr freestanding fridges come in two main types. Larder fridges give the whole cabinet over to chilled food. Fridges with an ice box add a small freezer compartment for ice, frozen peas and the odd tub of ice cream. Most are compact Liebherr undercounter freestanding fridges in 50, 55 and 60 cm widths, sized to sit beneath a worktop. There are also Liebherr tall freestanding fridges for anyone who wants a separate full-height fridge. Models come from the Pure, Plus and Prime series, in white, dark grey or with a stainless steel door.
Capacity runs from 85 litres in the smallest ice box model to 349 litres in the largest tall larder. If you already have a separate freezer, Liebherr freestanding larder fridges give you the most fridge space for the width. Liebherr freestanding fridges with ice box have a 13 to 17 litre compartment. Most of these need defrosting by hand now and then, but one Plus model defrosts its compartment automatically.
Fresh food is where the series differ most. Many models have EasyFresh, a sealed drawer that holds in humidity at the normal fridge temperature to help fruit and vegetables stay crisp. Some Plus and Prime larders have BioFresh instead, a drawer kept close to 0 °C that suits meat, fish and dairy as well as produce. Several models have SuperCool, which increases cooling for a while after you load warm shopping. Some can also be adjusted through an app. Prime models use a Touch & Swipe display. Energy ratings run from A to E, and noise levels sit between 33 and 37 dB.
To narrow the choice, measure the gap first and decide whether the fridge goes under a worktop or stands at full height. Next, think about whether you need a small freezer compartment. If you buy a lot of fresh food, BioFresh is worth comparing with EasyFresh. For fridges housed behind a kitchen door, see Liebherr built-in fridges. The full range is under all Liebherr fridges.
