Best fridge freezer deals for July 2021

We’ve scrutinised popular retailers’ offers to bring you this shortlist of the best deals around this month. Note that the fridge freezers we’ve selected aren’t necessarily the best we’ve tested, but they're all decent models and available at a discount. It's also worth bearing in mind that many electrical appliance retailers are currently experiencing supply issues and that recent fridge freezer energy label changes mean that you won't see many fridges with an A rating anymore.

A 2020 Which? investigation into Currys PC World suggests the firm has an issue with how it handles complaints about faulty products. So do consider this before making a purchase.

1. Hoover HMN7182BK freestanding fridge freezer in black, £674

• We like: the door alarm and child lock
• We didn’t like: the fridge is a bit awkward to clean

This Hoover fridge freezer looks a bit like an American-style fridge freezer, but it’s actually a multi-door model with two side-by-side fridge doors and two freezer drawers.

The stainless steel version costs around £900, but you can snap this black version up at Amazon for £674 at the moment. It's not quite as cheap as last month, when we checked, but it's cheaper than average for a free-standing fridge freezer. Amazon is currently the only stockist.

2. Samsung RB34T632ESA fridge freezer, £549

• We like: the cold water dispenser
• We didn’t like: that the shelves and racks can’t be adjusted

With four shelves and a full-width crisper drawer there’s plenty of room in this fridge freezer and the All-Around Cooling function claims to keep your veg, meat and dairy fresher for longer.

Normally selling for around £699, this fridge freezer can now be found at £549. It's a slight price increase (£50) on the discount we found last month, but still a fairly good deal for a big brand fridge freezer.

3. LG GBB72PZEFN fridge freezer, £680

• We like: the versatile use of space, flame-retardant backing
• We didn't like: some ease of use niggles

The fridge contains 213 litres of usable space - enough to hold around 11 supermarket carrier bags of shopping. In the freezer, three transparent plastic drawers provide 75 litres of usable space. 

Normally selling for around £730 this impressive stainless steel fridge freezer can currently be had for as little as £680.

4. Samsung RB34T602ESA fridge freezer, £439

• We like: it's quiet
• We didn’t like: could be easier to clean

This popular tall, frost-free fridge freezer from Samsung uses the brand’s SpaceMax technology to make its walls thinner, leaving more room inside – we estimate it will hold around 12 supermarket carrier bags of food. 

This fridge freezer is being discounted at the moment and can be found for the bargain price of £439, which makes it a good deal for the range of features on offer on this cold appliance.

5. Haier HB18FGSAAA fridge freezer, £999

• We like: the freezer drawers 
• We didn't like: it's decent, but we've tested better

This American-style fridge freezer has two side-by-side fridge doors, and two freezer drawers underneath.

Its hasn't dropped lower than £1,150 since the beginning of June, so if you've had your eye on this investment model, now could be a good time to buy. It's a fair price for so much space and 'vacation mode' is a useful setting to have when the fridge is empty.

How to get the best deals on specific fridge freezer brands

Big high street and online retailers, such as John Lewis, Currys PC World, AO, Argos and Amazon, tend to offer better deals than the manufacturers themselves.

To ensure you choose a fridge freezer you’re happy with, read our fridge freezer reviews. That way, you’ll avoid picking up a ‘bargain’ that later turns out to be a dud.

Haier fridge freezer deals

When and where are the best fridge freezers on sale?

When investing in a new fridge freezer, you don’t always have to wait for the traditional sales periods to find a bargain. Some retailers have dedicated online deals pages where you can find year-round great prices on selected fridge freezers and other electricals. Try these pages for starters...

• John Lewis fridge freezer deals
• AO fridge freezer deals
• Amazon fridge freezer deals
• Very fridge freezer deals

Black Friday: the best time to find a fridge freezer deal?

If you aren’t in a hurry and can’t find what you’re looking for on a retailer’s deals page, it could be worth waiting until the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales period in November to get a good price.

However, just because an appliance is in the Black Friday sales don’t assume that it’s being offered at a brilliant discount. Keeping an eye on any models of particular interest in the run-up to November will help you to understand how prices change so you can make a judgement on whether a deal is really as good as it looks. Using price-tracking websites such as PriceSpy and Camel Camel Camel (for Amazon) will also help you to work out what the best price is for the item you have in mind.

Which fridge freezer features are worth paying extra for?

Beyond the basics, there are a few fridge freezer features that are well worth investing in. These include:

• frost-free freezer – stops ice building up in your freezer compartment so you never need to defrost it
• alarms – some models come with alarms to let you know if the door's been left open, or the temperature has dropped
• quick-chill and fast-freeze functions – chills and freezes food faster, locking in the nutrients and helping it to stay fresher for longer
• adjustable door racks – helps you to arrange your door storage space to maximise every inch
• holiday mode – saves energy when you aren’t using your fridge for storing a lot of fresh foods.
