Blomberg vs Smeg Fridges

Blomberg and Smeg both offer tall larder fridges, but Smeg's are larger and more design-led. 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. Smeg offers the UKFS18EV2H universal tall larder fridge with auto defrost, a 390L model in black (UKFS18EV2HB) or stainless steel (UKFS18EV2HX), at £929.

Smeg's UKFS18EV2H offers a large 390L of fresh-food storage in a 60cm-wide tall format, with auto defrost to prevent ice build-up. Its black and stainless steel finishes suit modern kitchens, and the universal design means it can pair with a matching Smeg tall freezer for a side-by-side setup. Blomberg's SSM4554 costs less than half Smeg's price and is 54cm wide, which suits narrower spaces. Blomberg's SST4455VI is a built-in tall larder fridge for fitted kitchens, and its SSM1554P offers an undercounter option, neither of which Smeg lists here.

For buyers who want maximum fresh-food space and a premium finish, Smeg's 390L UKFS18EV2H delivers, especially when paired with a matching freezer. Blomberg suits budget-focused buyers, those with narrower gaps, and fitted kitchens needing integrated tall storage. Buyers wanting a compact undercounter fridge for a second fridge or small kitchen will find Blomberg's SSM1554P affordable.

Bottom line: choose Smeg if you want a large 390L tall fridge with a premium finish, with the UKFS18EV2HB in black or UKFS18EV2HX in stainless steel at £929. Opt for Blomberg if you want value, with the SSM4554 tall larder fridge at £399.99 or the built-in SST4455VI at £579.
