Where to buy the Smeg FAB30RWH6UK fridge freezer
🏆 Review & price summary
The Smeg FAB30RWH6UK combines a glossy white 1950s-inspired design with a practical 294-litre total capacity. Its 222-litre refrigerator compartment, MultiFlow cooling, 0°C drawer and LED lighting make it well suited to everyday fresh-food storage. The 72-litre four-star freezer is useful for regular frozen-food needs, although its static design means manual defrosting. Quiet 34dB operation and a right-hand hinge add practical appeal, provided the kitchen layout suits the door opening.

Design and storage layout
The Smeg FAB30RWH6UK fridge freezer is a freestanding 60cm fridge freezer finished in glossy white, with rounded 1950s-inspired styling, a chrome handle and chrome interior details. Its 294-litre total capacity is divided between a spacious 222-litre refrigerator and a 72-litre top-mounted freezer.
Two adjustable glass shelves, a fruit and vegetable drawer and a dedicated low-temperature compartment provide useful flexibility in the refrigerator. The freezer includes one wire shelf, offering straightforward organisation for everyday frozen goods rather than extensive bulk storage.
Cooling performance and everyday operation
Fan-assisted circulation and MultiFlow cooling are designed to distribute cold air evenly around the refrigerator compartment. Electronic temperature control, an inverter compressor and a dedicated 0°C drawer add useful control for fresh-food storage.
The freezer has a four-star rating and a freezing capacity of 4kg in 24 hours. It is a static compartment with manual defrosting, so it is less convenient than a frost-free design. The door-open alarm, LED refrigerator lighting and 20-hour temperature rise time are practical additions for daily use.
Noise, efficiency and installation considerations
A stated noise level of 34dB places this appliance among the quieter options for kitchens where background noise matters. Its C energy class and stated annual consumption of 135kWh indicate a considered balance between capacity and running efficiency.
The appliance measures 1720mm high, 600mm wide and 728mm deep, so installation clearances should be checked carefully. The right-hand hinge is an important layout constraint, while the SN-T climate classification supports operation across a broad range of ambient conditions.
