Fridgemaster 242L Tall Auto Defrost Larder Fridge vs 75l Undercounter Fridge with Icebox — Comparison

The Fridgemaster MTL55242E 242L Tall Auto Defrost Larder Fridge is priced at £239.00, while the Fridgemaster MUR4894E 75L Undercounter Fridge with Icebox costs £129.00. Both are affordable Fridgemaster refrigeration options, but the MTL55242E is designed as a main tall larder fridge, while the MUR4894E is a compact undercounter model with limited frozen storage.

The MTL55242E measures 1434mm high, 550mm wide and 542mm deep and provides 242L net capacity, five shelves, N-ST climate class, E energy rating and a C-rated 40dB noise level. The MUR4894E measures 842mm high, 475mm wide and 448mm deep, offering 75L fridge capacity plus a 7L icebox, also with an E energy rating but a quieter 38dB noise rating. The tall model has far more chilled storage, while the undercounter model adds a freezer compartment and saves £110.

The MTL55242E suits buyers who need a primary fridge for fresh food, vegetables, drinks and weekly groceries. It is the obvious choice for families or homes with a separate freezer. The MUR4894E suits smaller kitchens, student rooms, annexes or occasional-use spaces where compact dimensions and a tiny icebox are more important than full fridge capacity. It cannot match the 242L storage of the MTL55242E, but it is cheaper, lower, narrower and slightly quieter.

Bottom line: "choose MTL55242E if you want a 242L tall larder fridge for serious fresh-food storage / opt for MUR4894E if you need a compact undercounter fridge with a 7L icebox."
