  • Why Choose a Bottom Mount Fridge Freezer?

    Fresh Food at Eye Level

    This is the major benefit! Unlike top-mount models, your most-used items, like fresh food and drinks, are right in front of you. No more bending down to find essentials, making meal prep and daily access much more comfortable, especially for your back.

    Better Freezer Organisation

    The freezer typically uses pull-out drawers instead of a deep, single box. This simple change allows you to neatly separate meats, vegetables, and desserts, stopping items from getting lost and forgotten at the bottom.

    Saves on Power Bills

    Since cold air naturally sinks, placing the freezer at the bottom is a more efficient design. This means the appliance doesn't have to work as hard to keep temperatures low, resulting in savings on your household energy costs.

    Space for the Big Shop

    You often get wide, clear shelving in the main fridge section. This extra space easily handles large platters, big pizza boxes, and those weekly bulk grocery items, perfect for families or entertaining.

    Sleek, Modern Design

    Available in sharp finishes like stainless steel, the clean lines of a Midea bottom-mount fridge freezer offer a contemporary look that can instantly elevate the style of your entire kitchen.

    Features to Look For

    When you're comparing bottom-mount fridge freezers, keep this mini-guide handy. These features make a big difference in how your food stays fresh and how easy the fridge is to use:

    • No More Defrosting: Look for Frost-Free Technology. This is a must-have! It prevents ice from building up in the freezer, meaning you never have to spend hours manually defrosting your appliance.
    • Consistent Cooling: A Multi-Air Flow System ensures cold air reaches every shelf evenly. This stops warm spots and keeps all your food, from the back to the front, fresher for much longer.
    • Flexible Storage: Make sure the unit has Adjustable Shelving. Being able to move the shelves up or down lets you easily fit tall bottles, large jugs, and those awkward items you buy.
    • Crisp Veggies for Longer: Check for a Humidity-Controlled Crisper. This dedicated drawer maintains the perfect moisture level, making your fruits and vegetables stay crisp, vibrant, and edible instead of wilting too quickly.
    • Easy Kitchen Placement: Consider Reversible Doors. This offers great flexibility, allowing you to change the hinge so the door opens from the left or the right side, which can be essential for fitting perfectly into your kitchen layout.

    How to Choose the Right Size

    Choosing the right capacity is crucial for efficiency. A good rule of thumb for capacity is:

    • 1–2 People: Look for models around 250–350 Litres.
    • Family of 3–4: We generally recommend a capacity between 350–500 Litres.

    Always consider your shopping habits. If you buy groceries in bulk, opt for a larger size. Most importantly, measure the space in your kitchen carefully before buying, remembering to leave a few centimetres of clearance around the appliance for proper ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bottom-mount fridges generally more energy-efficient?

Yes, many modern bottom-mount fridge freezers in NZ are highly efficient. Because the heavier cold air naturally stays in the lower freezer compartment, the unit doesn't have to work as hard to maintain the temperature, leading to reduced energy use.

What is the best temperature to set for my fridge and freezer?

For optimal food safety and freshness, you should set your refrigerator at or below 4°C, and your freezer should be kept at -18°C.

How often should I clean my bottom-mount fridge freezer?

We recommend giving the interior a deep clean every 3–4 months. Use a simple solution of warm water and a small amount of baking soda. Remember to wash all removable shelves and thoroughly wipe down the door seals.

Can I change the way the door opens on my bottom-mount fridge?

Many of our current models offer reversible doors, allowing you to change the door hinge from the left to the right side to suit your kitchen layout. Please check the individual product pages to confirm this specific feature for the model you are interested in.

What is the standard warranty on your bottom-mount fridge-freezers?

All our bottom-mount fridge freezers come with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty, which is typically 3 years. For precise warranty details, always refer to the specific product page.
