About This Fridge Freezer

The Smeg UKC8174NE is engineered for households who want one integrated appliance to handle both fresh and frozen storage in equal measure. With 242 litres split 50/50 between the 154-litre fridge and 88-litre freezer, it suits everyone from busy families to couples who batch-cook and freeze portions for the week ahead.

The fridge compartment is engineered for serious organisation: two adjustable glass shelves, a sliding glass crisper cover, two separate fruit and vegetable containers, three door shelves (including a dedicated bottle shelf and a covered shelf for jars), and a removable egg tray. The fan-assisted refrigeration system circulates cool air evenly across all shelves, so food at the back stays as fresh as food at the front. Bright LED lighting illuminates everything clearly.

The freezer compartment has four transparent drawers (so you can see what's inside without opening multiple drawers to find what you need) plus an ice box. Total No Frost technology eliminates ice build-up entirely, so you'll never need to empty the freezer for a manual defrost again — saving you a tedious afternoon every six months.

The variable-speed compressor is a meaningful upgrade over standard cycling compressors. It runs constantly at low speed rather than switching on and off, which means quieter operation (just 35 dB), better energy efficiency, more stable internal temperatures, and significantly longer compressor lifespan.

The reversible sliding door system means this fridge freezer adapts to almost any kitchen layout — your cabinet door simply attaches to the front and slides with the appliance door for a flush, seamless finish that makes it feel like part of the fitted furniture.

Installation note: This is an integrated tower fridge freezer requiring installation in a standard 178cm tall housing unit. Cabinet aperture required: H177.9 x W54.0 x D54.9cm. Designed to fit behind a full-height kitchen cabinet door.
