TOP MOUNT

For those on a budget or who like a traditional look

A top mount fridge is the most common one on the market, with the freezer at the top and the fridge at the bottom. For that reason, it is more affordable than other types.

Dimensions: H1645mm x W751mm x D795mm

Why we like it: It uses an independent cooling system for the fridge and freezer, which helps to
