Freezerless refrigerators are the ideal refrigeration solution for those who simply need to chill food, but have no need to freeze it. When you purchase a traditional fridge freezer combination appliance you gain the benefits of both technologies, but it comes at a cost.
Firstly, the hardware required to deliver both chilling and freezing in one box is more expensive than that simply needed to chill. By purchasing an all-refrigerator, you can save money in this way. Secondly, when you buy a two in one device, the capacity of the unit split in two. A refrigerator-freezer unit is simply going to have less refrigerated storage space than a comparably sized refrigerator without freezer.
Once you have made the purchase decision, choosing a freezerless refrigerator for your home can be a little difficult. Many stores only carry very limited selections of these devices, and instead largely stock the traditional combination units that are more popular with shoppers.
Below I try to catalog some of the different freezerless fridges that are available for you to purchase – either in a brick and mortar store or online.

This is just a small selection of different models of refrigerators without freezers that are available in stores. For more information on these appliance – and many others – I recommend this article on freezerless refrigerators.
Even if you already have a traditional combination unit, you may find buying one of these appliances makes sense for you. If your existing fridge unit is already full, picking up an extra refrigerator as expansion room for that compartment can make your day-to-day life in the kitchen much easier.
Freezerless refrigerators are underrated appliances that are worth a closer look at. They can be particularly useful as commercial refrigeration solutions.
