Side by Side fridge and freezer

[fleabag155]

Hi All

I am having a new kitchen and want to have a full height fridge and freezer side by side, with doors opening in the middle. I don’t want them built in, but want them the same depth as kitchen units and to have a housing around them and units above them- all the kitchen units will extend to ceiling height.

I don’t want an American thing with an ice box etc etc, just a proper fridge, with no ice box, and a proper freezer.

I’m looking for some advice as to makes and sizes that will align with standard size kitchen units. I have looked at some models by Liebherr (http://home.liebherr.com/en/ltu/househo … -4310.html for example) but think they will be out of my price range.
I want something reliable – can anyone recommend a good middle market label- (not Hotpoint or Electrolux – have had nightmare experiences with them in the past, and won’t touch them now) that will meet these requirements?.

Also, do I need some kind of kit to link the two machines together- if I have to have a gap between them for ventilation it will look ugly. I believe Liebherr do make such a kit, does anyone else?

Lastly, honest opinions, is it better to go this route or to get one linked fridge and freezer like the ones Liebherr do

– and if so, is there a cheaper version??

Sorry to be so long, but thanks for any thoughts

Don may know more but, from what you’ve laid out there, Liebherr is probably the best option and quite possibly the only one.
