Altimo vs Blomberg Fridges

Altimo and Blomberg both offer undercounter fridges, but Altimo's prices are much lower. Altimo's listings include the ALD4802W undercounter larder fridge and the AFR4832W undercounter fridge with icebox, both at £125, and the ALD5502W undercounter larder fridge at £159. Blomberg offers the SSM1554P undercounter fridge with auto defrost at £249.99, the SSM4554 54cm tall larder fridge at £399.99 and the SST4455VI built-in tall larder fridge at £579.

Altimo's undercounter models cover the basics at budget prices. Larder fridges use all their space for fresh food, while the AFR4832W includes a small icebox for ice cubes or a few frozen items. The ALD5502W offers a slightly wider format. Blomberg's SSM1554P is an undercounter fridge with auto defrost, which prevents ice build-up on the back wall, but it costs twice as much as Altimo's models. Blomberg's main differentiator is its tall larder fridges: the freestanding SSM4554 and the built-in SST4455VI offer far more fresh-food capacity.

For a second fridge, a student flat or a small kitchen, Altimo's £125 models offer excellent value. Buyers who want a little frozen storage should choose the AFR4832W. Blomberg suits households that need a tall fridge for large weekly shops, or a built-in larder fridge for a fitted kitchen. Blomberg's SSM1554P is harder to justify against Altimo unless you prefer the brand.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want a low-cost undercounter fridge, with the ALD4802W or AFR4832W at £125 as standout value. Opt for Blomberg if you need a tall larder fridge, with the freestanding SSM4554 at £399.99 or the built-in SST4455VI at £579 for a fitted kitchen.
