Altimo vs Iceking Fridges

Altimo and Iceking are both budget brands that cover tabletop, undercounter and tall fridges at low prices. Altimo's ATTLD4402W tabletop fridge is £89, which is £30 less than Iceking's 41-litre TT46EW at £119. The two brands meet again at the icebox undercounter level, where Altimo's AFR4832W costs £125 and Iceking's RK113EW, an 81-litre model with an icebox, costs £149. Iceking's tall RL340EW, with 331 litres of auto defrost storage, is the largest option at £369.

Iceking's range offers more size variety in tall fridges than Altimo's. The RL340EW has six shelves and auto defrost, giving a full-height larder with generous fresh-food capacity. Iceking is the only one of the two with a 331-litre tall option in this comparison. Both brands keep features basic, and both fridges have simple white finishes. The RL111EW, an 88-litre undercounter larder at 39dB and £139, sits between the two brands' undercounter prices and offers a quiet operating noise level for a bedroom or study.

Altimo suits buyers who want the lowest possible price for a compact fridge in a bedroom, office or rental. Its ALD4802W and ALD5502W larder fridges suit small kitchens where a second fridge for drinks is needed. Iceking suits people who want a larger tall larder for a family kitchen at a budget price, or a tabletop model for a bedroom. Iceking is a smaller brand, so check the height of its undercounter models against the worktop and allow ventilation space around the unit.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want the cheapest fridge for light use, such as the ATTLD4402W at £89 or the ALD4802W at £125. Choose Iceking if you need a 331-litre tall larder fridge with auto defrost for £369, or an 81-litre undercounter icebox model, the RK113EW at £149.
