Fridgemaster 242L Tall Auto Defrost Larder Fridge vs 475mm Undercounter Fridge - White — Comparison

The Fridgemaster MTL55242E 242L Tall Auto Defrost Larder Fridge is priced at £239.00, while the Fridgemaster MUL4892E 475mm Undercounter Fridge in white costs £139.00. Both are larder fridges from Fridgemaster, but they occupy different size classes: the MTL55242E is the taller household fridge, while the MUL4892E is the compact undercounter choice.

The MTL55242E measures 1434mm high, 550mm wide and 542mm deep, with 242L net capacity, five shelves, N-ST climate class, E energy rating and a C-rated 40dB noise level. The MUL4892E is much smaller at 842mm high, 475mm wide and 448mm deep, with 92L net capacity, white finish, E energy rating and the same C-rated 40dB noise level. The tall model gives 150L more storage and more shelf space, while the undercounter model wins on footprint and price.

The MTL55242E suits families, shared homes or anyone needing a main fresh-food fridge without freezer space taking up capacity. Its 242L volume and five shelves make it far better for weekly shops, fresh produce and meal prep. The MUL4892E suits smaller flats, offices, spare rooms or buyers needing a secondary drinks and snacks fridge. It is £100 cheaper and easier to fit under a worktop, but it cannot compete with the tall model for everyday household storage.

Bottom line: "choose MTL55242E if you need a 242L tall larder fridge with five shelves / opt for MUL4892E if compact undercounter storage and the lower £139.00 price matter more."
