Miele freestanding refrigeration centres on full-height 60 cm appliances: fridge freezers, larder fridges and upright freezers that fit a standard space. Alongside them sit wider American-style fridge freezers and a large wine cooler. Finishes run from white and silver to black steel and Clean Steel, so you can match other appliances or keep things simple.

All the 60 cm Miele fridge freezers here are frost free, so ice doesn't build up and you won't need to defrost by hand. They pair 227 to 270 litres of fridge space with a 103-litre freezer. Most split 70/30 in favour of fresh food, while a 60/40 option gives more freezer room. If you need more of both, the 906 mm American-style models offer 308 to 356 litres of fridge and 220 to 230 litres of freezer, with French doors above and either a second pair of doors or a pull-out drawer below. Clean Steel is a treated stainless finish on which fingerprints barely show.

If you would rather have a separate fridge and freezer, a larder fridge and an upright freezer can stand side by side. The 60 cm larder fridges hold 399 litres, and there is a compact 141-litre fridge too. The frost-free upright Miele freezers here range from 199 to 278 litres. A Low Frost model of 107 litres slows ice build-up but still needs the occasional defrost. Some freezers are hinged on the left, which helps a pair open away from each other. For wine, the freestanding cabinet holds up to 229 bottles in a single zone set between 5 and 20°C, and takes champagne bottles.

Start with your space: a 60 cm gap points to a fridge freezer or a tall pair, while a wider recess opens up the American-style models. Then check the hinge side, as only some doors are convertible, and compare energy ratings, which run from B to E. Most models connect to an app, but not all.
