Big-capacity cooling without the premium price tag

With 485 litres of space, it’s aimed at busy households that want plenty of room for fresh and frozen food.

Fridgemaster typically focuses on value-led appliances rather than premium showpieces, and this model follows that formula: practical features like Total No Frost, a Multi Air Flow system and an LED touch control panel, but no fancy ice or water dispenser.

Who this American fridge freezer is best for

This fridge freezer is ideal for medium to large UK households that do a big weekly shop. With a total capacity of 485 litres (roughly 26 bags of shopping), it will comfortably cope with family life, batch cooking and entertaining without feeling cramped.

It suits buyers who want the look and practicality of an American-style appliance but don’t want to pay a premium for extras like plumbed-in water or built-in ice. You’re getting strong core cooling performance and clever storage rather than headline-grabbing gimmicks.

If you like your kitchen to stay tidy and organised, the multi-door layout, six fridge door balconies, two salad crispers and XXL freezer space box will appeal. It’s a good fit if you want to keep fresh food, snacks and frozen items neatly separated.

It’s also a strong option for energy-conscious households who still need space. While the E rating isn’t the very best on the market, the 295 kWh annual consumption is reasonable for this size, and Total No Frost helps it run efficiently over time.

What we like

The standout strength here is capacity. With 336 litres of fridge space and 149 litres in the freezer, the MF70450EB gives you proper American-style room in a relatively slim 70.4 cm-wide body, making it easier to fit into standard UK kitchens than some wider rivals.

Total No Frost is a big everyday win. It keeps cold air circulating so ice doesn’t build up, which means no more defrosting sessions and more consistent temperatures for better food preservation.

The Multi Air Flow system helps keep things fresher for longer by distributing cool air evenly, reducing warm spots that can wilt salad or leave milk less chilled at the back. Paired with a dedicated Fresh Zone and salad crispers, it’s well set up for families who buy lots of fruit and veg.

Ease of use is another plus. The internal LED touch control panel makes adjusting temperatures and activating Super Cool or Super Freeze straightforward, while the bright LED lighting helps you see what’s where. Noise is also modest at 36 dB, so it should fade into the background in open-plan spaces.

Finally, user feedback is excellent. A 4.8/5 rating shows that real-world owners are very happy with performance, space and day-to-day convenience.

Where it could be better

The most obvious compromise is the lack of a water or ice dispenser. If you’re after the full American fridge freezer experience with chilled water on tap, you’ll need to look elsewhere or add a separate countertop solution.

The energy rating of E is fairly typical for a large-capacity model but not class-leading. If you’re upgrading from a much older appliance you’ll still see efficiency gains, but very energy-focused buyers might want to compare A–D rated options.

Inside, the fridge offers only two main shelves. They are adjustable and made from sturdy tempered glass, but some users might miss the extra flexibility that three or more shelves provide, especially for storing taller bottles and leftovers together.

The manufacturer warranty is just one year, which is on the short side for a major appliance. Many rivals now offer two years or more as standard, so consider that if long-term peace of mind is a priority.

Everyday use

Living with the MF70450EB should be refreshingly low-maintenance. Total No Frost keeps both fridge and freezer free from icy build-up, so you won’t be scraping drawers or losing space to frost. The Multi Air Flow system continuously circulates chilled air, helping everything reach temperature quickly after loading a big shop.

The four-door “multi door” design makes daily access simple. You can open just one side to grab milk or condiments rather than swinging out a huge door, which helps reduce cold air loss and is handy in tighter kitchens. Six door balconies in the fridge keep bottles, jars and sauces within easy reach, leaving the main shelves free for bulkier items.

Inside, LED lighting gives a bright, even view of what’s in the fridge, and the internal LED touch panel is straightforward to understand. Super Cool and Super Freeze modes are particularly useful after a big food delivery – hit the button and the appliance temporarily boosts cooling to protect the freshness of new groceries.

Noise-wise, the 36 dB rating is pleasantly low for a large appliance. In most homes, especially with some background TV or conversation, it should be barely noticeable, making it a good choice for open-plan kitchen-diners.

Cleaning is also manageable. Flat glass shelves and smooth door balconies are easy to wipe down, and without frost in the freezer, you’re mainly dealing with the occasional crumb or spill rather than a full defrost job.

Performance and features

At its core, the MF70450EB is about stable, reliable cooling. The fridge’s 336-litre capacity and the freezer’s 149 litres give you a lot of usable space, and the four freezer compartments plus XXL Space Box help keep everything organised, from bulk bags of chips to tubs of ice cream and frozen leftovers.

Total No Frost is key to performance. By preventing ice from forming on the evaporator and in the drawers, it keeps airflow efficient and temperatures consistent, so food stays closer to the set temperature across all shelves. This reduces the risk of freezer burn and saves you the hassle of manual defrosting.

The Multi Air Flow system further supports this by distributing cooled air through multiple vents. That means fewer hot spots and cold corners – useful if you routinely cram in a big shop or like to store leftovers on every shelf. The Fresh Zone and twin vegetable drawers are designed to maintain a better microclimate for meat, fish and produce, helping extend shelf life.

Controls are handled via an LED touch panel inside the fridge. From here you can tweak temperatures, activate Holiday mode to save energy when you’re away, and use Super Cool or Super Freeze for rapid chilling. While it doesn’t connect to Wi-Fi or offer app control, the feature set hits everything most households actually use.

Practical extras round things out: adjustable shelves, LED lighting, adjustable feet for levelling on uneven floors, and a 10-hour power failure safe storage rating, meaning your frozen food should stay safely frozen for several hours during a power cut. There’s no internal ice maker or water dispenser, but that does free up more storage volume.

Value for money

With a current price of £579, the Fridgemaster MF70450EB undercuts many big-name American-style fridge freezers while still offering genuinely generous capacity and key modern features like Total No Frost and Multi Air Flow. For a full 485-litre appliance, that makes it a strong value proposition.

You’re not paying for extras like a plumbed-in dispenser, Wi-Fi or stainless-steel finishes, but for many households those aren’t essentials. Instead, the money goes into solid cooling performance, sensible storage and a contemporary black finish that works in most kitchens.

The impressive 4.8/5 owner rating backs up the idea that this model delivers more than you might expect at the price. If you measure value by how much well-organised space and everyday convenience you get per pound, this Fridgemaster scores very well.

The main trade-offs are the E energy rating and one-year warranty, which are reasonable at this price but not outstanding. Even so, for families who want big capacity without a big-brand price tag, it represents excellent overall value.

Our verdict

The Fridgemaster MF70450EB is a spacious, well-thought-out American-style fridge freezer that focuses on the things busy households actually need: lots of usable room, hassle-free frost-free operation and straightforward controls. The multi-door design, generous fridge and freezer capacities, and strong cooling features make it a very practical choice day to day.

You do miss out on a water/ice dispenser, app connectivity and a longer warranty, and the energy rating is solid rather than stellar. But at this price point, those compromises feel fair, especially given the positive feedback from existing owners.

If you’re upgrading from a standard fridge freezer or an ageing side-by-side, and you want big-family storage with minimal faff at a sensible cost, the MF70450EB should be high on your shortlist. Style-conscious buyers who insist on built-in dispensers or ultra-premium finishes may want to spend more elsewhere, but for most households this is a smart, great-value buy.
