Best integrated fridge freezers that blend in seamlessly with your kitchen
Best for: Food longevity, lower electricity
The numero uno global major appliance brand for the past 16 years, Haier has a reputation as solid as a concrete elephant when it comes to white goods, so you know firmly where you stand when it comes to the reliability of its innovative fridge freezers.
The Integrated ID Titanium Series 6, being the only built-in Haier model available in the UK, made it an easy choice, but its uniqueness in this market is far from the only reason it should command your consideration.
A 70/30 split model (that's 70 per cent fridge, 30 per cent freezer), the Haier currently skims in at a shade under £1000, for which you get a total internal capacity of 268 litres, with a 128l and an 86l freezer, which should prove ample space for the weekly shop.
A 'Total No Frost' number, you'll never have to waste time and effort de-icing or stanning away at blocks of ice build up with a kitchen knife, while 'ABT Pro' removes 99.99 per cent of mould and bacteria from the airflow, obliterating odours and preventing airborne cross-contamination, keeping your comestibles fresher and free from the nasty stuff that lurks unseen. Also on that score comes 'Air Surround', which distributes cool air more evenly to keep food from drying out.
Add to this three capacious fridge shelves, plus two 'zone' drawers, one for fruit and veg and the other capable of independent temp control depending on what you're storing, five door shelves, three freezer drawers and – wait for – an energy efficiency of an almost unheard of 'C', and the Haier Integrated ID Titanium Series 6 HBW7518CTK not only saves your food, it also saves you money-pounds-cash on those ever-increasing leccy bills, meaning you can feast on fresher food for longer and still stick it to 'the man' while you do!
Finally, it is Wi-Fi-enabled, so you can hook it up to the Haier hOn app to monitor performance remotely. The Series 6 is easy to fit, with 'one-tool' installation, so you can have your cabinet doors fixed to the front in just 15 minutes, meaning the Haier will be hidden from sight.
