The bigger the fridge freezer, the higher the operating expenses. But this isn't always the scenario. The compressor is usually situated near a large vertical freezing compartment. This causes it to quickly heat up and make it harder to keep the items chilled.

It's worth remembering that these kitchen appliances can be heavy and therefore you'll need to check they can be able to pass through the doorways to the inside and front during delivery, particularly when it's being delivered up to a top floor flat. The retailer should remove and put back the door of the fridge freezer when they deliver the appliance if they are concerned. You could also engage a handyman.
