Iceking 81L Under Counter Fridge with Icebox vs 331l Auto Defrost Tall Larder Fridge - White — Comparison

The Iceking RK113EW 81L Under Counter Fridge with Icebox is the compact budget model here at £149, aimed at buyers who need basic refrigeration beneath a worktop. The Iceking RL340EW 331L Auto Defrost Tall Larder Fridge in white costs £369 and sits much higher in Iceking’s fridge range, offering full-height fresh-food storage for main kitchen use.

RK113EW provides 81L total capacity, an icebox and a salad crisper, making it a small but flexible option for chilled basics plus occasional frozen items. RL340EW is a pure larder tall fridge with 331L net capacity, six shelves, auto defrost and a reversible door. It does not list an icebox, but it gives over four times the storage of the RK113EW. Both models are E rated for energy.

The RK113EW suits flats, bedrooms, offices, holiday lets or homes that need an affordable second fridge with a small icebox. It is also easier to place where only under-counter space is available. The RL340EW is for families, shared households and anyone who already owns a separate freezer but wants serious chilled storage, easier shelf organisation and less manual defrosting work. In practical terms, think about the appliance’s job before comparing finishes: a tall larder model is usually the main fresh-food hub, while an undercounter, tabletop or specialist cooler works best as targeted extra storage. That context matters because a shared brand, model family or energy label can still hide big differences in usable shelf space, access, installation and how frequently the fridge will be filled. It is also worth checking door swing and available height.

Bottom line: choose RK113EW if you need a £149 under-counter fridge with an icebox and salad crisper / opt for RL340EW if you want 331L of tall larder capacity, six shelves, auto defrost and a reversible door.
