Rank #10 in Best Under Counter Fridge 2026: 10 Ranked, And Three Listings That Contradict Themselves
Cookology 138L Integrated Under Counter Larder Fridge, White
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Cookology 138L is a built-in under-counter larder fridge — that is, a fridge with no freezer compartment at all — priced at £279.99 and sitting at number 10 in this guide. It is meant to disappear into a kitchen run: the listing says it arrives with a door fitting kit so you can hang your own cabinet door on the front, and it gives the dimensions as 595mm wide, 545mm deep and 818mm high, with the temperature control and the legs both adjustable. Reversible door, LED light inside, glass shelves, three of them, and a stated 138 litres of fridge space, which the bullets translate into "up to 7 bags of shopping".
What puts it last here is the arithmetic on its own page. The listing claims 4.4 out of 5 from 34 ratings, but the review bars printed underneath add up to 100 — 66 five-star, 23 four-star, 5 two-star, 6 one-star, and nothing whatsoever in the three-star band. Run those bars through the average and you get 4.4, so the score is not the problem; the count is. Every figure on this page is copied from the Amazon listing as published, not from a fridge we plugged in and tested ourselves.

Questions people ask
How big is the Cookology 138L integrated larder fridge?
The bullets give a width of 595mm, a depth of 545mm and a height of 818mm, and the spec table agrees: 54.5D x 59.5W x 81.8H centimetres.
Does the Cookology 138L have a freezer?
No. The listing's configuration is "Freezerless", the convertible freezer field answers "No", and the name describes it as a larder fridge. Its 138 litres are all fridge.
Is the door reversible on the Cookology 138L?
Yes — the bullets list a reversible door, and the door orientation field says "Right", so it can be hung either way to suit the run it goes into.
How many ratings does the Cookology 138L have?
The listing states 34 ratings at 4.4 out of 5, but the review bars shown add up to 100. The average works out about the same either way; the number of ratings does not agree.
What energy rating does the Cookology 138L carry?
F, as stated in the bullets and repeated in the spec table.
Can I fit my own kitchen door to the Cookology 138L?
The bullets say it comes with a door fitting kit so you can add your own designed door, although the spec table answers "No" to "Is Customizable?". The listing does not reconcile the two.
