Blomberg vs Fridgemaster Fridges

Blomberg and Fridgemaster both offer undercounter and tall fridges, but Fridgemaster is much cheaper. Blomberg's listings include 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. Fridgemaster offers the MUR4894E 75L undercounter fridge with icebox at £129, the MUL4892E 475mm undercounter fridge at £139 and the MTL55242E 242L tall auto defrost larder fridge at £239.

Fridgemaster focuses on low prices. Its undercounter models suit second fridges, flats and student lets, with the MUR4894E including a small icebox. The MTL55242E offers 242L of tall larder storage with auto defrost for just £239, around £160 less than Blomberg's SSM4554. Blomberg's models offer a more established brand name, and its SSM1554P undercounter fridge features auto defrost. Blomberg's key differentiator is the SST4455VI built-in tall larder fridge, designed for fitted kitchens, which Fridgemaster does not list here.

For freestanding fridges, Fridgemaster offers outstanding value at every size. Budget buyers, landlords and anyone needing a second fridge will find its models hard to beat. Blomberg suits buyers who want a built-in tall larder fridge for a fitted kitchen, or who prefer the reassurance of a mid-range brand. The price difference on tall freestanding fridges is substantial, so Blomberg's SSM4554 needs to justify its premium through build and brand.

Bottom line: choose Fridgemaster if you want the lowest prices, with the MTL55242E 242L tall larder fridge at £239 as outstanding value, or the MUR4894E at £129. Opt for Blomberg if you need a built-in tall larder fridge, the SST4455VI at £579, for a fitted kitchen.
