Fridgemaster 165L Upright Freezer - White vs 61L Under Counter Freezer — Comparison

The Fridgemaster MTZ55153E 165L Upright Freezer - White is priced at £269 and sits above the compact models as a taller, higher-capacity freezer, while the Fridgemaster MUZ4860MF 61L Under Counter Freezer costs £179 and is the small-space option. MTZ55153E is built for households needing a main or substantial secondary freezer, whereas MUZ4860MF is for tighter kitchens, flats or occasional frozen storage. Both are simple Fridgemaster choices, but their capacities and footprints are very different.

MTZ55153E measures H:1434mm x W:550mm x D:542mm and offers 165L capacity, low noise operation, five drawers, a reversible door and an E energy rating. MUZ4860MF has 61L capacity, requires manual defrosting, includes a reversible door and adjustable feet, and carries an F energy rating. The upright model gives 104L more storage, three to four times the useful organisation depending on drawer size, and the better energy class. The under-counter model gives lower purchase cost and easier placement beneath a worktop.

MTZ55153E suits families, batch cooks and anyone who wants drawer-based organisation for different food types, such as meat, vegetables, desserts and leftovers. Its five-drawer layout should make it easier to find items than a single-cavity freezer, and its taller format uses vertical space efficiently. MUZ4860MF suits buyers who only need a freezer for basics: ice, frozen veg, chips, small meals or backup storage beside a fridge. It saves £90 upfront, but the smaller capacity and F rating mean it is less compelling for heavy frozen-food use. This distinction is especially useful when balancing appliance footprint, storage habits and how often the freezer is opened.

Bottom line: choose MTZ55153E if you want 165L capacity, five drawers, a reversible door and an E-rated upright format / opt for MUZ4860MF if a cheaper 61L under-counter freezer is enough for your space.
