AEG vs Iceking Freezers

AEG builds its freezers for fitted kitchens, with the built-in OAB6I82EF at £449 and the OAB6L88ES LowFrost model at £519.99. Iceking is a budget brand with three formats, from the TT35EW 33L tabletop freezer at £119 and the RZ109EW 60L undercounter model at £149, to the RZ245EW 242L tall freezer at £399. Iceking's range is simpler, so the comparison is mostly about built-in finish against budget freestanding storage. The price gap is wide, starting at £119 and running up to £519.99.

The Iceking RZ245EW offers 242 litres across seven freezer compartments, with an adjustable thermostat and a reversible door. The RZ109EW provides 60 litres across three drawers, and the TT35EW tabletop model suits small spaces with manual defrost. AEG's OAB6L88ES adds LowFrost technology, OptiSpace storage and Frostmatic fast freezing, with a frost control system that Iceking's models do not include. Iceking's freezers are white only and need manual defrosting. Iceking's models share a white finish and reversible doors, which helps them fit a range of kitchen layouts.

AEG suits fitted kitchens and households that want frost reduction and built-in finish. Iceking suits budget buyers who need extra frozen storage in the 242L tall model, or a 33L tabletop for a flat, office or student room. The RZ109EW suits a kitchen with a spare worktop gap and a tight budget. Buyers who want the most frozen storage per pound should consider the 242 litre tall model first, while the 33 litre tabletop suits a room with no kitchen space.

Bottom line: choose AEG if you want a built-in undercounter with frost control, from £449 for the OAB6I82EF. Choose Iceking if you need the 242 litre tall freezer at £399, or a 60 litre undercounter model for £149, and accept manual defrosting.
