American-style fridge-freezers

An American-style fridge-freezer has two tall doors side by side, the fridge on one side and the freezer on the other, and is about 91 cm (3 ft) wide. Hisense’s RS695N4IC1, 91 cm wide and 179 cm tall, weighs 109 kg empty, and Samsung’s RS68N8651S9 weighs 124 kg. The Samsung holds 608 litres: 398 in the fridge and 210 in the freezer.

Those are net weights, for the appliance alone. Packed for delivery, the Hisense comes to 120 kg and the Samsung to 128 kg. Samsung’s spec sheet also warns that the cabinet or wall it stands against must be strong enough once the fridge is full.

The big American fridges sold in the US are heavier still. Whirlpool’s 36 in French-door model, with the fridge on top behind two doors and a freezer drawer below, holds 25 cubic feet (about 710 litres) and weighs 324 lb (147 kg).

Ordinary fridges and freezers

A standard fridge-freezer, 60 cm wide with the freezer at the bottom, is much lighter. Bosch’s KGN39VL30G is 2 m tall, holds 315 litres and weighs 75.6 kg (167 lb). A small Bosch under-counter fridge, 85 cm tall with 120 litres of space, weighs 29.4 kg (65 lb).

Per litre of space, the big fridges are the more efficient: the Samsung weighs about 0.2 kg for every litre it holds, against about 0.24 kg for both Bosch models.
