Smeg Fridges

Shop Smeg fridges including 50's Style freestanding refrigerators, compact minibars, fridges with ice boxes and integrated larder models. Compare installation type, height, width, chilled capacity, energy class, noise level and door opening before choosing the right Smeg refrigerator for your kitchen.

Choosing a Smeg Fridge

Smeg refrigerators range from compact FAB5 minibars to larger freestanding FAB28 models and built-in refrigeration for fitted kitchens. Start with the installation format and dimensions, then compare capacity, freezer or ice-box provision, door opening, energy consumption and internal storage features.

Smeg Fridge Types

Smeg 50's Style Fridges

Smeg's 50's Style refrigeration range uses rounded doors, external handles and a choice of colours. Within this category, the FAB range includes compact minibars as well as larger one-door refrigerators. Left- and right-hand hinge versions are sold separately on many models, so choose the correct door opening for the intended position.

Smeg FAB5 Minibars

The FAB5 is a compact freestanding minibar designed primarily for drinks, snacks and supplementary chilled storage. Current models are approximately 40cm wide and provide around 38 litres of internal capacity. Their compact dimensions can suit kitchens, home offices and other spaces where a full-size refrigerator is unnecessary.

Smeg FAB10 Fridges

FAB10 models are compact freestanding refrigerators with an internal ice box. They provide more food-storage space than a minibar while remaining smaller than a conventional full-height refrigerator. Check whether you need a left- or right-hand hinge before ordering because the door direction is model-specific.

Smeg FAB28 Fridges

FAB28 refrigerators provide substantially more chilled storage while retaining Smeg's 50's Style design. Current models combine a main refrigerator compartment with a small internal four-star freezer compartment, making them suitable where fresh-food capacity is the priority but some frozen storage is still useful.

Integrated Smeg Fridges

Smeg also produces built-in refrigerators for fitted kitchens. These appliances sit inside a furniture housing behind a kitchen door, so cabinet niche dimensions and the furniture-door fitting are as important as overall appliance size. Check whether the chosen refrigerator uses a sliding or other specified hinge system rather than assuming all integrated Smeg fridges are interchangeable.

Check the Size and Door Opening

Measure the installation space and the route into the kitchen before ordering. Freestanding Smeg FAB refrigerators can require additional clearance at the hinged side and in front of the appliance so the door can open far enough for shelves and drawers to be accessed or removed.

Many Smeg 50's Style refrigerators are sold as separate left- and right-hand hinge models rather than using a reversible door. The hinge side describes the side on which the door is attached when facing the appliance. Integrated models may use reversible doors, depending on the product.

Fridge Capacity and Ice Boxes

Compare chilled capacity in litres rather than choosing by external dimensions alone. Compact FAB5 minibars prioritise drinks and snack storage, while FAB10 and FAB28 models provide progressively greater fresh-food capacity.

Some Smeg refrigerators include an internal freezer or ice-box compartment. This is useful for a small quantity of frozen food, but it is not equivalent to the separate freezer section in a fridge freezer. If you need substantial frozen-food storage, a Smeg fridge freezer or separate freezer is likely to be more suitable.

Cooling and Fresh-Food Storage

MultiFlow Cooling

Selected Smeg refrigerators use MultiFlow cooling. A fan distributes cold air through the refrigerator compartment to support more even temperature conditions across the shelves. Availability varies by model.

Life Plus 0°C Storage

Selected larger Smeg refrigerators include a Life Plus 0°C drawer. This provides a colder storage zone for perishable foods such as meat, fish and cheese. Check the individual product specification because compact Smeg refrigerators do not all include this feature.

Energy Efficiency and Noise

Compare the A to G energy class together with annual energy consumption when choosing between similar refrigerators. Capacity affects total consumption, so the energy label is most useful when comparing appliances of a similar size.

Noise level is also worth checking where the fridge will be installed in an open-plan kitchen or living area. Smeg publishes the airborne noise figure in dB for each current refrigerator, so compare the individual model rather than assuming all products within the FAB range perform identically.

Built-In Smeg Fridge Installation

For an integrated refrigerator, measure the cabinet niche rather than only the appliance itself. Check the required niche height, width and depth, ventilation requirements and furniture-door fitting before ordering.

Furniture-door systems differ between Smeg models. For example, some compact built-in refrigerators use a sliding hinge arrangement, while other tall integrated models use a different standard door connection. The installation specification for the exact appliance should determine compatibility.

Smeg Fridge FAQs

What is the difference between a Smeg fridge and a Smeg fridge freezer?

A Smeg fridge is primarily designed for chilled food storage. Some refrigerators include a small internal ice box or four-star freezer compartment, but a fridge freezer has a separate, substantially larger freezer section. This page should contain refrigerators only; combined fridge freezers belong in the dedicated Smeg fridge freezer category.

Do all Smeg fridges have an ice box?

No. Ice-box provision varies by model. FAB10 and FAB28 refrigerators are available with internal freezer compartments, while models such as FAB5 minibars and dedicated larder fridges have different storage configurations.

Are Smeg fridge doors reversible?

It depends on the model. Many Smeg 50's Style refrigerators are manufactured as separate left- and right-hand hinge versions. Selected integrated Smeg refrigerators have reversible doors. Check the individual specification before ordering.

What is Smeg MultiFlow?

MultiFlow uses fan-assisted air circulation to distribute cold air around the refrigerator compartment more evenly. It is fitted to selected Smeg fridges rather than the complete range.

What is the Smeg Life Plus 0°C drawer?

Life Plus is a low-temperature storage compartment available on selected Smeg refrigerators. It is designed for perishable foods such as meat, fish and cheese that can benefit from colder conditions than the main fridge compartment.

Can a Smeg FAB5 be used as a normal fridge?

The FAB5 is a compact minibar rather than a full-size household refrigerator. It provides chilled storage for drinks, snacks and smaller quantities of food, but its capacity is substantially lower than FAB10, FAB28 or full-height Smeg refrigerators.

What should I measure before buying an integrated Smeg fridge?

Measure the cabinet niche height, width and depth and check the manufacturer's ventilation requirements. Also confirm the furniture-door hinge system, the appliance door opening and whether the door is reversible.
