Miele refrigeration covers two kinds of kitchen: fully integrated appliances that sit behind matching furniture doors, and freestanding models in their own finishes. Both include fridges, fridge freezers and freezers, and there are wine coolers too, whether you are planning a fitted kitchen or replacing one appliance. Many models connect to Miele@home and the Miele@mobile app, though not all, so check the listing if app control matters.

Most of the built-in choice is in integrated Miele fridge freezers. These are frost free: they circulate cold air so ice doesn't build up and you don't need to defrost. Many have a 70/30 fridge-to-freezer split. Some add DuplexCool, which uses separate cooling circuits to help stop odours passing between fridge and freezer. Others have PerfectFresh Pro drawers designed to keep fresh food at its best for longer. Check the hinge: many fix the furniture door directly to the appliance door, while some use a sliding hinge. Integrated Miele fridges include tall and built-under larder models and a built-under fridge with an icebox. Integrated Miele freezers are frost free, and some have an ice maker. MasterCool models, such as a 762 mm wide fridge freezer, are larger units, often with Push2open doors that open with a press.

Miele freestanding refrigeration centres on 60 cm frost-free fridge freezers in white, silver, black steel and Clean Steel, mostly with the fridge on top. Alongside are 60 cm larder fridges, including 399-litre models, and upright freezers. VarioRoom, found on many of the freezers, lets you remove drawers or shelves to fit a large dish or bulky item. For more space, Miele American fridge freezers are 906 mm wide French door models, some with Quickice and a water filter.

Miele wine coolers include compact built-in cabinets for around 18 bottles, multi-zone units that keep reds and whites at different temperatures, and a tall freestanding cabinet for 229 bottles. To narrow your choice, decide between integrated and freestanding first. Then choose between a combined fridge freezer and a separate larder fridge and freezer. Finally, measure the housing or space before comparing features. Planning more than cold storage? See Miele built-in kitchen appliances.
