Product description
What it is
The COMFEE' 87L Under Counter Fridge Freezer is a compact, under-counter unit designed to slot neatly beneath standard worktops. It combines a dedicated 61L fridge with a 26L freezer in a single, space-saving appliance, making it a practical solution for kitchens, flats, offices and other compact living areas.
How it helps you day to day
On paper, the layout prioritises accessible fresh storage with two removable glass shelves, a roomy vegetable drawer and a dedicated 2L bottle rack. These features make it easier to organise groceries and keep frequently used items within reach. The bright interior light further aids visibility when you’re rummaging for leftovers late in the day. If you need more space for tall containers or bulky items, shelves can be adjusted or removed to reconfigure the interior.
Design and flexibility
A key practical feature is the reversible door, allowing the door to open from either side to suit different kitchen layouts. Adjustable front feet help keep the appliance level on uneven floors, which is handy in older flats or kitchens with imperfect surfaces. The compact footprint is intended to fit under worktops while still delivering dedicated storage for both fresh and frozen items.
Performance and comfort
Energy efficiency is listed at Class E, which should encourage lower running costs compared with older models, though it’s not the most frugal option in its class. Noise is quoted at 40dB, a practical figure for open-plan spaces, home offices or bedrooms where quiet operation matters.
What’s particularly notable
The combination of a dedicated fridge and freezer in a small footprint, plus the practical internal layout, makes it a sensible option for someone who wants a compact, all-in-one cold storage solution without sacrificing organisation. The 2L bottle rack is a small but useful detail for bottle storage, and the ability to reconfigure shelves adds flexibility as your needs change.
Considerations and limitations
If you prioritise energy efficiency above all, you may find higher-class models preferable, as Class E is not the most economical. The 87L total capacity may feel limiting if you regularly stock large frozen items or bulk party provisions. Real-world performance will also depend on how well the door seal maintains cooling and whether the interior remains accessible with the door swung wide.
Who it’s for
This appliance suits individuals or small households who need extra cold storage in a compact footprint—such as studio flats, offices, student accommodation or spaces where a full-sized fridge freezer isn’t feasible.
Who it’s not for
If you regularly freeze large quantities or require top-tier energy efficiency, this model may feel underspecified compared with higher-capacity or more efficient alternatives. It’s also less suitable for households that demand very low noise or very large frozen storage.
When it makes sense to buy
If your space is tight and you need a practical under-counter option with a separate freezer, and you can work within an 86L total capacity, this unit offers straightforward storage with sensible features like a reversible door and adjustable feet.
What to check before purchasing
- Confirm under-counter clearance and whether the door swing side matches your kitchen layout.
- Consider how you will organise shelves to maximise the 61L fridge and 26L freezer spaces.
- Check wiring and outlet availability in the chosen installation area.
- Check the door seal condition and ensure the interior light operates reliably for easy access.
How it compares to other approaches
For smaller spaces, a compact fridge-freezer with a dedicated fridge and freezer is often preferable to a combined full-size unit, which can overfill a small kitchen. If you need higher energy efficiency or larger freezing capacity, you might look at larger under-counter models or separate tall fridge and freezer units. This model emphasises practicality and usable storage over cutting-edge features.
FAQ (practical, no speculation)
- How much space does it occupy under the counter? It’s designed to fit under standard worktops, with a compact overall footprint.
- Can the door be changed to open from the opposite side? Yes, the door is reversible to suit different layouts.
- Is it quiet enough for a bedroom or office area? With a rated 40dB, it should be unobtrusive in many spaces, though room layout will influence perceived noise.
Buying decision
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you need practical under-counter cooling with a dedicated fridge and freezer in a compact footprint, and you don’t require top-tier energy efficiency or very large storage. It suits spaces where layout flexibility and straightforward organisation matter more than maximum capacity.
