Altimo vs Blomberg Freezers

Altimo and Blomberg sit at opposite ends of the freezer market. Altimo's range starts with the ATTFZ4442W tabletop freezer at £89, followed by the AFZ4842W undercounter at £125, the AFZ5542W undercounter at £159 and the tall AFZ1435542W at £219. Blomberg starts at £329.99 with the FNE154P undercounter and moves up to the FNM455W 54cm tall freezer at £479.99, the FNM4671P tall freezer at £529.99 and the integrated FNT4454I at £679.99.

The gap in price reflects a gap in features. Altimo's freezers use simple temperature settings that need no instructions, but they need defrosting from time to time, so they are basic machines that do the job without extras. Blomberg makes frost-free operation standard across its range, so there is no need to chip away ice, and its integrated option sits behind a kitchen cabinet door. Both ranges are offered in white only.

Altimo suits budget buyers, students and small households who need frozen storage at the lowest possible price and accept occasional manual defrosting. The ATTFZ4442W tabletop suits offices and student rooms, while the AFZ1435542W tall freezer gives family-sized space. Blomberg suits buyers who want frost-free convenience and a narrower footprint, particularly in fitted kitchens. Anyone who will not defrost regularly should pay the extra £260.99 to move from the AFZ1435542W to the frost-free FNM455W.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want the cheapest frozen storage available, with the ATTFZ4442W tabletop at £89 or the AFZ1435542W tall freezer at £219 for family use, and you are happy to defrost by hand. Choose Blomberg if you want a frost-free freezer that never needs defrosting, with the FNE154P at £329.99 as the entry point and the FNM455W at £479.99 as the best tall option.
