Siemens fridges here are mostly larder fridges, which have no freezer, so all the space goes to chilled food. They come in three formats: tall built-in models for a fitted kitchen, built-under models that sit beneath the worktop, and 60 cm freestanding models. Built-in models span the iQ100, iQ300 and iQ500 series. That makes this page a good fit if you already know where the fridge will go and want to compare levels of specification.

The tall Siemens built-in fridges all hold 310 litres, so the choice between them comes down to fittings rather than space. The iQ100 uses a sliding hinge and has adjustable feet. The iQ300 and iQ500 use a fixed hinge, which fixes the cabinet door directly to the fridge door, so the door opens wider and moves more smoothly. Under the worktop, there's a 134-litre larder fridge, or a 93-litre fridge with a 17-litre icebox. The icebox is handy for ice and small frozen items, but you have to defrost it by hand.

For the most capacity, the Siemens freestanding fridges offer 402 litres, a C energy rating and a temperature display. They come in black steel or stainless steel. Both freestanding models and the built-under fridges connect to the internet, with some using Siemens' Home Connect app for control from your phone.

To narrow it down, decide first between freestanding, tall integrated and under-counter. Then decide whether you need an icebox. If you'd prefer a separate freezer section, try Siemens fridge freezers.
