Where to buy the Miele K 7797 C R fridge
🏆 Review & price summary
This Miele K 7797 C R fridge is an integrated larder fridge offering 296 litres of storage, four shelves, three drawers and a bottle rack. Its PerfectFresh Active compartment, DynaCool circulation and flexible interior design are aimed at keeping fresh food well organised and evenly cooled. At 32dB(A), it should be unobtrusive in open-plan kitchens, while Miele@home adds connected control. The main installation limitation is the right-hand, non-reversible hinge.

Who Should Buy It?

- ✓ A good fit for open-plan kitchens where quiet operation and organised fresh-food storage are priorities.
Storage and freshness
The 296-litre interior provides substantial fresh-food capacity without a freezer section taking up space. Four shelves, three drawers, a bottle rack and adjustable door shelving offer a practical range of storage options.
PerfectFresh Active is designed to add humidity to the freshness compartment, while DynaCool circulates air around the refrigerator section. The retailer’s supplied information states that the freshness system can help food stay fresh for up to five times longer; actual results will depend on the food and storage conditions.
The pivotable FlexiTray is a thoughtful addition, allowing easier access to items at the back. ComfortSize also provides extra depth for storing larger items, although the supplied information does not give the complete internal measurements.
Everyday operation and installation
At 32dB(A), this fridge is specified for quiet operation, making it appealing for open-plan homes. LED lighting and individually adjustable FlexiLight 2.0 shelf illumination should make it easier to see contents without harsh glare.
SoftClose helps the door close gently, and the door-shelf trims can be removed for dishwasher cleaning at up to 55°C. Holiday, Party and Sabbath modes provide additional operating options, while Miele@home enables app-based and compatible smart-home control.
Installation planning is important. The hinge is right-hand only and non-reversible, and the product is described as requiring a furniture door panel. The available product information does not provide full fitting dimensions, so cabinet compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.
