The Sensis RFUCF01F54EW is a freestanding under counter fridge with a built-in ice box, giving 114 l of storage in total. It suits a small kitchen, a flat or a spare fridge for drinks, and the ice box means a few frozen basics can sit alongside fresh food without a separate freezer.

Cooling and storage

The fridge section has a crisper drawer to keep fruit and vegetables together and out of the way. The four-star ice box holds 14 l at -18°C, so frozen food can be stored safely for up to 12 months: room for ice cube trays, a bag of frozen peas or a tub of ice cream. Low Frost uses hidden cooling circuits to reduce how much ice builds up, so defrosting comes round less often and takes less time when it does. It is a handy size for everyday fresh food in a one or two-person home, or as extra space for drinks and party food in a larger one.

Controls and everyday use

A mechanical temperature control sets the temperature inside, and LED lighting makes it easy to see what you have. The door is reversible, so it can open from either side to suit where the fridge stands. The rated noise level is 37 dB, so it runs quietly in the background, and the energy class is E.

Size and installation

This is a freestanding model measuring 54.8 cm wide, 85 cm high and 56.2 cm deep, and it weighs 28 kg. At 85 cm high it is sized to slide beneath a worktop, so measure the gap under your counter before ordering and allow a little room behind for the plug and for air to move. It suits a kitchen or a utility room.
