The product fields identify Smeg FAB32RCR6UK fridge freezer, but the supplied image and retailer URL reference FAB32RCR5UK. Buyers should confirm the delivered variant with the retailer before purchase.
Design and capacity
The cream gloss finish, rounded doors, chrome detailing and fixed external handle give this freestanding appliance a clear 1950s-inspired look. The 60/40 layout provides 234 litres of refrigerator space and 97 litres of freezer space, making it suitable for substantial everyday grocery storage.
Inside, two adjustable glass shelves, a covered fruit and vegetable drawer, door storage and a bottle shelf provide useful flexibility. The freezer uses three drawers plus a flap compartment, helping separate frozen food and ingredients.
Cooling and food storage
Total No Frost cooling with a double cooling system is designed to prevent ice build-up and remove the need for manual defrosting. Fan cooling and MultiFlow technology are intended to support more even temperature distribution.
The LifePlus 0°C drawer provides a dedicated chill zone for fresh food, while electronic temperature control, fast cooling and fast freezing offer useful options when loading new groceries. Holiday and ECO functions add practical flexibility during periods of lighter use.
Installation and energy use
At 1968 mm high, 601 mm wide and 728 mm deep, this is a substantial appliance. The supplied information also lists a 768 mm depth including the handle and a 1197 mm depth with the door open at 90 degrees, so clearance should be checked carefully before purchase.
The appliance has a D energy rating and stated annual energy consumption of 204 kWh. A variable-speed compressor, acoustic and visual door-open alarms, and temperature alarms add useful everyday reassurance, although the energy class is not at the top of the current scale.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
