# Best Under Counter Fridge 2026: 10 Ranked, And Three Listings That Contradict Themselves Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges Published: 2026-09-18 | Updated: 2026-09-19 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-18 Three of the listings below disagree with themselves, so read the split, not the headline. The £169.99 Cookology 130L under counter fridge is a freezerless larder fridge, yet its own data table gives 'Freezer Capacity: 130 Litres' — the same number as its 130L total — under a 'Freezer-on-Bottom' configuration with one door. The £134.97 COMFEE' is 87L in the title and 86L in the first bullet; its stated 61L fridge plus 26L freezer adds up to 87L, not 86L, and the same table answers 'No' to 'Is Electric?'. The £299.99 Igenix set is two appliances — a 136L fridge and a 91L freezer, 227 litres together — listed with 'Number of Doors: 1'. Meanwhile the figures that do agree matter just as much: 132 litres, 725 ratings, 47.2cm wide, 40dB. We ranked ten of the best under counter fridge models on Amazon on four honest criteria: whether the stated capacity matches the stated dimensions, how many shelves you actually get, the kWh per year printed in the listing itself, and how each rating histogram splits between five stars and one. ## The ranking ### 1. Hisense RL170D4BWE Freestanding Under Counter Fridge, 132L - Price: £179.00 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 725 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/hisense-rl170d4bwe-under-counter-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08SWNSC73?tag=ranked10-21 Top of the list: 132 litres, auto defrost and a 4.5 average from 725 ratings make this the safest under counter fridge to buy unseen. It takes first place on the numbers that matter. The 132-litre cabinet is quoted as holding seven bags of shopping, the spec table agrees with the bullet on one door and a freezerless layout, and 'Is Electric: Yes' is answered the way you would expect. Meanwhile 74 of the 100 rating points sit at five stars against 6 at one star — the best spread in this group. In practice this is a larder fridge: no ice box, no freezer compartment, just three glass shelves, a fruit and veg drawer and a reversible door. Auto defrost means you never chip ice out by hand, which is worth more day to day than the extra litre or two a rival might claim. At 84.5cm high and 57.5cm deep it drops under a standard counter, and the plug is a Type G. The catch is width. At 56cm it is wider than the 55cm most of these list, so measure your gap before ordering, because several kitchens run a 55cm aperture. If you need frozen storage, this under counter fridge is not the appliance for you. There is no freezer at all, and no ice box either. Pros: 132-litre capacity, quoted as seven bags of shopping; Auto defrost — no manual defrosting; 4.5 average from 725 ratings, with 74 of 100 rating points at five stars; Reversible door and three glass shelves; 84.5cm high, so it fits under a standard worktop Cons: 56cm wide — wider than the 55cm gap several kitchens have; No freezer or ice box of any kind; £179.00, so not the cheapest freezerless fridge here; 6 of 100 rating points are one star ### 2. Cookology 130L Freestanding Under-Counter Fridge, White - Price: £169.99 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 558 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/cookology-130l-under-counter-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FH7PD6G?tag=ranked10-21 Second because 130 litres and three glass shelves for £169.99 is competitive, provided you ignore a spec table that contradicts itself. The headline is straightforward: 130 litres, three full glass shelves, a salad drawer, door storage, 55.3cm wide and 84.5cm high. It also quotes 117kWh a year, which the listing converts to about £18 at £0.155 per kWh. Crucially, that is the rate printed in the listing, not the one on your bill. Practical details are sound. The door is reversible, the feet adjust, and the thermostat is adjustable. Defrost is manual, though, so you will need to empty it and let the ice melt every so often — the Hisense above does that job automatically. Now the disagreement. The spec table calls the configuration 'Freezer-on-Bottom' and lists 'Freezer Capacity: 130 Litres' — the same figure as the 130L total — while the form factor field says 'Freezer Less' and the door count is one. A single-door, freezerless larder fridge cannot have a 130-litre freezer. Weight is listed at 25kg, and no other model here quotes one. Pros: 130 litres with three full glass shelves and a salad drawer; Reversible door and adjustable temperature control; 55.3cm wide, so it suits a 55cm gap; 117kWh a year, quoted as roughly £18 at the £0.155 rate stated in the listing; 4.3 from 558 ratings Cons: Spec table lists a 130-litre freezer capacity on a single-door, freezerless fridge; Manual defrost, unlike the top three models; The £18 running cost assumes the £0.155 per kWh rate printed in the bullet; 25kg, and the only weight quoted in this list ### 3. COMFEE' 87L Under Counter Fridge Freezer, RCT87WH2(E) - Price: £134.97 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 388 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/comfee-rct87wh2-fridge-freezer - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CT5KS787?tag=ranked10-21 The only true fridge-freezer under £140 here, though its own listing cannot agree whether it is 86 or 87 litres. This is the budget pick if you need frozen food. £134.97 buys an 87-litre appliance with a 61-litre fridge and a 26-litre four-star freezer, a reversible door and two removable glass shelves. The freezer is the point: nothing else near this price in the list has one. In practice it suits a single person or a couple. The 2-litre bottle rack and the vegetable drawer are useful, and the shelves come out when you need to stand something tall. It runs at 40dB, quieter than the Willow's 42dBA and the Cookology 93L's 41dB, and it is rated Energy Class E. The catch is that the listing disagrees with itself in three places. The title says 87L and the first bullet says 86L. The split it gives — 61L fridge plus 26L freezer — adds up to 87L, not 86. And the same table answers 'No' to 'Is Electric?'. None of that changes the appliance, but it tells you to check the label on the box rather than the copy. Defrost is manual. Pros: Real fridge-freezer: 61L fridge plus a 26L four-star freezer; 40dB, quieter than the 41dB and 42dBA models here; £134.97 — the cheapest appliance here with a freezer; Reversible door, two removable glass shelves and a 2L bottle rack; 4.4 average from 388 ratings Cons: Title says 87L, first bullet says 86L; 61L plus 26L makes 87L, which contradicts the 86L figure; Spec table answers 'No' to 'Is Electric?'; Manual defrost ### 4. Cookology 93L Freestanding Under-Counter Fridge with Chiller Box - Price: £129.99 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 1,689 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/cookology-93l-under-counter-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089KSW6D5?tag=ranked10-21 The biggest review base in the group, and the narrowest footprint at 47.2cm wide — but the shelf spec lists four different materials. 1,689 ratings at 4.1 is by far the largest sample here, and the price is £129.99 for 93 litres. Importantly for small kitchens, it is 47.2cm wide and 45cm deep — narrower than a typical 55cm under counter fridge with chiller box. The chiller box needs explaining: it is a compartment for short-term cold storage, not a freezer, so do not plan to keep frozen food in it. Alongside it there are two full wire shelves, a half shelf over the salad drawer, three door shelves and a reversible door. Noise is quoted at 41dB and annual use at 107kWh. Two things to check before buying. The energy label is described as A+ on the older scale and F on the 2021 label — the same appliance, two scales, so compare on kWh rather than letters. And the spec sheet lists the shelf type as 'Toughened Glass or Glass or Wire or Plastic', while the bullet says wire. At 86cm tall it is also the tallest unit here, so measure your worktop gap first. Pros: 93 litres in a 47.2cm-wide cabinet — the narrowest here; 1,689 ratings, the largest sample in this list; 41dB and 107kWh a year; Chiller box, two full wire shelves and a salad drawer; Reversible door Cons: Shelf type listed as 'Toughened Glass or Glass or Wire or Plastic'; Manual defrost; 86cm high — the tallest here, so a low worktop gap may not clear it; 11 of 100 rating points are one star ### 5. Igenix Under Counter Larder Fridge & Freezer Set, 55cm, Inox - Price: £299.99 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 110 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/igenix-larder-fridge-freezer-set - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09TRDSJFW?tag=ranked10-21 Two separate appliances rather than one: a 136L fridge and a 91L freezer — 227 litres together — which is why the 'Number of Doors: 1' line is wrong. This is the only listing here that is really two products. You get a 136-litre larder fridge and a separate 91-litre freezer, both 55cm wide, both with reversible doors and adjustable feet, both rated F. Together that is 227 litres — more cold storage than anything else in this guide. In practice the split is the advantage. The fridge gives you two adjustable glass shelves, a shelf above the drawer, a salad drawer and an interior light; the freezer gives you three drawers. At the same time, the spec table lists 'Number of Doors: 1' and a 136-litre capacity, which describes the fridge alone. Worth noting if you are comparing figures across this list: 227 litres is the total for two boxes, not one. Whom is it not for? Anyone with a 55cm gap rather than a 55cm run of two. You need 55cm for the fridge and another 55cm for the freezer, so it exists in wider kitchens only. It is also £299.99, easily the most expensive option here, and it has the smallest review base of the top five, at 110 ratings. Pros: 227 litres across a 136L fridge and a 91L freezer; Two separate appliances, so you can place them apart; Both doors reversible, both with adjustable feet; Three freezer drawers, two adjustable glass shelves and a salad drawer; 4.1 from 110 ratings Cons: Spec table says 'Number of Doors: 1' for a two-appliance set; £299.99 — the most expensive listing here; Needs two 55cm spaces, not one; 13 of 100 rating points are one star ### 6. Igenix IG3960 Freestanding Larder Fridge, 92L, 48cm Wide - Price: £129.99 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 290 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/igenix-ig3960-larder-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AZHL354?tag=ranked10-21 Sixth because it is the clearest spec sheet in the list: gross and net capacity both given, kWh and noise both given, for £129.99. It states 94 litres gross and 92 litres net, which is unusual here and useful — gross counts the plastic, net is what you can load. Noise is 41dB, consumption is quoted at 0.3kWh per 24 hours, and the rating is F. For £129.99 that is an honest set of numbers. As a freestanding under counter fridge it also tells you its shelf count and door shelf count. Practical use: two glass shelves, a salad drawer, two door shelves and a reversible door, in a 48cm-wide, 45cm-deep carcass. That makes it one of the few here that will go into a genuinely narrow slot. The temperature control is adjustable and the defrost is manual. That said, 92 litres is small. It holds far less than the 130L Cookology or the 132L Hisense, and there is no chiller box and no freezer — if you want anything frozen, look at the COMFEE' instead. Its rating spread is also the weakest in this guide: 59 of 100 points at five stars, 8 at one star. Pros: Gross 94L and net 92L both stated; 41dB and 0.3kWh per 24 hours given as figures; 48cm wide and 45cm deep — fits narrow slots; £129.99 with two glass shelves and a salad drawer; Reversible door Cons: 92 litres net is among the smallest here; No freezer and no chiller box; Manual defrost; Only 59 of 100 rating points at five stars — the weakest spread here ### 7. Russell Hobbs RH85UCLF552E1B Under Counter Larder Fridge, 127L, Black - Price: £219.00 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 122 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/russell-hobbs-larder-fridge-127l - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CZPC15HS?tag=ranked10-21 Seventh on price: 127 litres, three shelves, three door racks and a two-year guarantee, in black rather than white. 127 litres, three shelves, three door racks and a crisper compartment, with a stated manual temperature range of 0 to 8°C and a two-year guarantee on registration. At £219.00 it costs £40 more than the 130L Cookology for three litres less. As a larder fridge it has no freezer, and the cabinet is black with an LED light inside. Adjustable feet and a 55cm width mean it should drop into a standard gap; it is 85cm high and 58cm deep, so check depth as well as width. The defrost system is automatic, which puts it alongside the Hisense in convenience terms. Two reservations. The title advertises a reversible door while the spec table gives the door orientation as right-hand — confirm which you are getting before ordering, particularly if your fridge sits in a corner. And 122 ratings is a thinner base than the four models above it, with 10 of 100 points at one star. Pros: 127 litres with three shelves, three door racks and a crisper; Automatic defrost; 2-year guarantee on registration; Manual temperature range stated as 0 to 8°C; 55cm wide with adjustable feet Cons: Title says reversible door, spec table says right-hand; £219.00 — the second most expensive single fridge here; 122 ratings, fewer than the models above it; No freezer or chiller box ### 8. Fridgemaster MUR4894E Under Counter Fridge, 82L, E Rated - Price: £139.00 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 157 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/fridgemaster-mur4894e-under-counter-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C7L8RXWB?tag=ranked10-21 Eighth: the smallest cabinet here at 82 litres, in a 47.5cm width that clears gaps a 55cm model will not. 82 litres is the smallest capacity in this guide, quoted as four bags of shopping, for £139.00 and an E rating. It is also one of the narrowest, at 47.5cm wide and 45cm deep, and only 84cm high — so it clears low worktops that the 86cm Cookology 93L will not. The three-star ice box is the reason to consider it over a plain larder fridge: it gives you a small frozen section without a separate freezer. There is a salad crisper, a reversible door and adjustable temperature control. As an under counter larder fridge it is basic, but the ice box and the 47.5cm width are the two things it does that the bigger models cannot in a tight gap. The caveats are the shelves and the space. The bullet promises 'adjustable shelves', plural, while the spec table counts one — check the photos before you buy. Three-star is also not four-star: the COMFEE' freezer is rated four star, this is not. And defrost is manual. Pros: £139.00 for 82 litres with a three-star ice box; 47.5cm wide, 45cm deep and 84cm high; Salad crisper and reversible door; Energy rating E stated; 4.2 from 157 ratings Cons: 82 litres is the smallest capacity here; Bullet says adjustable shelves, spec table lists one; Three-star ice box, not a four-star freezer; Manual defrost ### 9. Willow W48EUFIB Under Counter Larder Fridge with Chiller Box, 90L, Black - Price: £123.49 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 81 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/willow-w48eufib-under-counter-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CZTRND88?tag=ranked10-21 Ninth: the cheapest unit in the whole list at £123.49, but also the one with the largest share of middling ratings. £123.49 makes this the cheapest undercounter fridge here, and it splits its 90 litres explicitly: 81 litres of fridge plus a 9-litre chiller box. That split is stated, which is more than some listings manage with their headline capacity. The finish is described as mark-proof, the door is reversible with a recessed handle, and there are three door trays, two glass shelves and a crisper drawer. Noise is capped at 42dBA. By contrast with the black Russell Hobbs above, this is black inside a much smaller carcass at 47.4cm wide and 83.1cm high. The catch is what 9 litres of chiller box actually is — not a freezer, so no frozen food. And the ratings are the weakest in this guide: 25 of 100 points sit at three stars or below, against 60 at five. If you want a large sample to lean on, the 1,689-rating Cookology is the safer bet. Pros: £123.49 — the lowest price in this list; 90 litres split as 81L fridge plus a 9L chiller box; 42dBA maximum noise quoted; Mark-proof finish and a reversible door with recessed handle; 47.4cm wide and 83.1cm high Cons: The 9-litre chiller box is not a freezer; 25 of 100 rating points at three stars or below; Only 81 ratings in total; Manual defrost ### 10. Cookology 138L Integrated Under Counter Larder Fridge, White - Price: £279.99 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 34 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/kitchen/best-under-counter-fridges/cookology-138l-integrated-larder-fridge - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BPCJS9F8?tag=ranked10-21 Last because it is the most expensive single fridge here and has the smallest review base, at 34 ratings, though 138 litres is the largest cabinet. 138 litres is the biggest single fridge here, and it comes with a door fitting kit so you can hang your own cabinet door on it. £279.99 and 34 ratings are the trade-off: you are paying for the integrated design rather than for a proven track record, and 34 ratings at 4.4 is a thin base. As an integrated under counter fridge it is 59.5cm wide, 54.5cm deep and 81.8cm high, which means a full-width cabinet housing rather than a 55cm gap. Inside there are three glass shelves, three door shelves, LED lighting and automatic defrost, so no manual scraping. Adjustable legs let you level it once the door is on. Two things to weigh. First, the bullet says the door is reversible while the spec table gives the orientation as right-hand; if your layout needs a left-hand opening, confirm it. Second, 34 ratings is the smallest sample in this guide, so there is much less feedback to go on than the 725-rating Hisense at the top. If you are not fitting a new kitchen, it is an expensive way to buy 138 litres. Pros: 138 litres — the largest single fridge here; Door fitting kit included for a built-in look; Automatic defrost and LED interior light; Three glass shelves and three door shelves; Adjustable legs for levelling Cons: £279.99 — the most expensive single fridge here; Only 34 ratings; Bullet says reversible door, spec table says right-hand; 59.5cm wide, so a full-width cabinet is required ## Verdict For most homes the Hisense at £179 is the safest under counter fridge here: 132 litres, automatic defrost and 725 ratings with the best spread in the group. If you want a freezer as well, the COMFEE' at £134.97 is the only fridge-freezer under £150 in this list, and its 61L plus 26L split is worth the 40dB running noise. If space is the constraint rather than budget, the Cookology 93L fits a 47.2cm gap and has 1,689 ratings behind it. In short, buy the under counter fridge whose figures agree with each other — and check width, height, and whether the 'freezer capacity' line describes anything real.
