AFF173552W moves up the range with a much larger stated capacity while keeping the same simple manual-defrost approach and white finish.

The AFF144482W gives a clear split of 87L fridge space and 55L freezer space, for 142L total. It has three freezer drawers, a 50/50 split, manual defrost, LED light and an E energy rating. The AFF173552W is specified with 248L capacity, manual defrost, a 40dB noise rating, white finish and an E energy rating. The supplied details do not break its 248L into fridge and freezer sections, but it is significantly larger overall than the 142L AFF144482W.

The AFF144482W suits one-person households, studio flats, bedsits or anyone wanting a low-cost fridge freezer where space matters more than volume. Its 55L freezer is useful for essentials, and the three drawers help separate frozen items. The AFF173552W is better for couples or small families who need extra weekly food storage without paying for frost-free technology. Its 40dB noise rating gives a useful reference for kitchen placement, but it remains a manual-defrost appliance, so buyers need to accept occasional freezer maintenance.

Bottom line: choose AFF144482W if you want the cheapest compact 142L 50/50 fridge freezer with LED lighting / opt for AFF173552W if you can pay more for a larger 248L manual-defrost model.
