Fridges
Whether you are saving space with a compact bar fridge or after a feature-rich design like a side by side or French door model, Midea Homes has a fridge and freezer for every NZ home.
A wide variety of fridges and cooling solutions
We stock a wide range of fridges and freezers to suit every lifestyle and space. Our line runs from compact, handy bar fridges through to spacious side by side and French door fridges with modern styling. If you need extra freezer storage, we also carry upright and chest freezers for frozen goods, plus beverage and wine coolers to keep drinks chilled and ready to serve.
How to choose the right fridge
The best fridge depends on your kitchen space, household size and how you shop. Here is how the main types compare:
- Top mount fridge freezers put the freezer up high and suit most households looking for value and a simple layout.
- Bottom mount freezers keep fresh food at eye level with the freezer in a lower drawer.
- Side by side fridges split fridge and freezer vertically, giving easy access to both and suiting wider kitchens.
- French door fridges offer wide shelves and a premium look for larger families and open-plan kitchens.
- Bar fridges and mini fridges are compact picks for offices, bedrooms and entertaining areas.
- Beverage and wine coolers hold drinks at the right serving temperature for a kitchen or bar area.
What size fridge do I need?
Fridge capacity is measured in litres. As a general guide, allow around 150L for the first two people and roughly 50L for each additional person, then adjust up if you shop weekly or batch cook.
| Household | Suggested capacity |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 people | 200L to 300L |
| 3 to 4 people | 300L to 450L |
| 5 or more | 450L and above |
Before buying, measure the width, height and depth of the space, and leave a small gap around the unit for ventilation and for the doors to open fully.
Fridge FAQs
What fridge size fits my kitchen?
Measure your cavity width, height and depth first, then choose a model that leaves a few centimetres of clearance on each side and at the back for airflow.
Which fridge type is most energy efficient?
Look at the energy rating label on each model rather than the format alone, since efficiency varies within every type.
Do you have extra freezer storage?
Yes. Add an upright freezer or chest freezer for bulk frozen goods.
