Altimo vs Iceking Freezers

Altimo and Iceking are both budget freezer brands with simple controls, and their ranges line up closely by format. Iceking's TT35EW tabletop at £119 sits £30 above Altimo's ATTFZ4442W at £89, and its RZ109EW undercounter at £149 is £24 more than Altimo's AFZ4842W at £125. The clearest difference is at the top, where Iceking's 242-litre RZ245EW tall freezer costs £399, compared with £219 for Altimo's AFZ1435542W.

Neither brand offers frost-free operation in these models, so both need manual defrosting, and both ranges are white only. Iceking's RZ245EW adds 242 litres of tall storage for £399, which is £180 more than Altimo's AFZ1435542W. Both brands keep features basic, with simple temperature controls and conventional freezing, and neither offers smart connectivity.

Altimo suits students, offices and households who want a compact, affordable freezer in tabletop, undercounter or tall form. Iceking suits buyers who need the lowest-priced tall freezer and are happy to defrost by hand a few times a year. For a small flat, either tabletop option will do the job, and the cheaper ATTFZ4442W saves £30. Check the space before buying, and allow ventilation around the freezer for efficient running. Iceking's RZ245EW is the only tall freezer in its range with a large capacity, which makes it the natural choice for a family wanting bulk storage on a budget. Altimo's AFZ1435542W is the better buy for a smaller household, saving £180. Both brands are white only, so buyers wanting another colour will need a different range.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want the lowest price on a tabletop, undercounter or tall model, starting at £89. Choose Iceking if you need a 242-litre tall freezer on a tight budget at £399, and accept manual defrosting in both cases.
