Rank #8 in Best Fridge Freezers 2026: 10 Ranked — and the Three Splits That Don't Add Up
HADEN 144cm 50/50 Fridge Freezer, White
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
Eighth in this guide is the HADEN Freestanding Fridge Freezer, a 144cm-high 50/50 machine listed at £209.00. It is the one 50/50 here that never quotes a capacity: there is no litre figure in the bullets and none in the spec table. HADEN calls the split "balanced" and says it gives "equal storage for fresh and frozen foods", which is a claim about balance rather than a number, and the listing offers nothing to check it against. The guide's other two 50/50 machines, the Fridgemaster MC55240ES and the Candy, both quote 252 litres total and a freezer of 158 and 151 litres respectively — with a genuine 50/50, both halves should sit nearer 126 litres. The HADEN sidesteps that problem by not publishing the figures at all.
Size is the other thing the listing is clear about: 144cm high and 48cm wide, with no depth given. Reviewers consistently describe it as small and quiet, and one found it smaller than expected; several frame it as a machine for one or two people rather than a family. The published star breakdown shows 62 five-star and 9 one-star ratings, but those five bands add up to 100 while the listing reports 95 ratings, so treat the split as approximate. HADEN's bullet calls it energy efficient, yet no energy class or consumption figure appears anywhere in the listing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from any testing we have carried out.
How those 95 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
