Good points:: Everything about it.
Bad points:: None, BUT you will probably need an expert kitchen fitter to install it, just like with any other integrated model. Nothing to do with this particular one.

Fridge Freezer Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

The Siemens iQ100 KI38VA50GB Integrated Tall Fridge Freezer provides straightforward chilling and freezing in a classic white unit.

Fabulous freezing

The 4-star rated 59-litre capacity freezer sits underneath the fridge to provide useful storage for a variety of items. There are three clear fronted drawers to make it easy for you to store your goodies and find them when required.

And the KI38VA50GB is impressive in the event of a power cut as it will keep your food safely frozen for up to 22 hours, making this extremely reliable and efficient.

Chill out

You’ll be able to stash an abundance of fresh foodstuffs in the KI38VA50GB’s fridge. With five safety glass shelves and a vegetable compartment, there’s more than enough room to store everything you need.

And with an automatic defrost function, this fridge will take care of itself and ensure it runs to chilly perfection.

Taking care of the polar bears

You won’t be causing any harm to the environment with the KI38VA50GB as it is ‘A’ rated for energy efficiency. And an additional bonus is that you won’t have to fork out for massive energy bills!

So for an energy efficient and reliable unit, the Siemens iQ100 KI38VA50GB Integrated Tall Fridge Freezer ticks all the boxes.

Fridge-freezers are not designed to be used in a garage or outhouse therefore we recommend that you don’t use them in any unheated area. Should you wish to store your fridge-freezer in such an area it is recommended that you buy a model with twin thermostats as this will help to reduce the risk of food being spoiled. The Siemens iQ100 KI38VA50GB Integrated Tall Fridge Freezer comes equipped with a single thermostat.
