Where to buy the Smeg UKS4C092E fridge
🏆 Review & price summary
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge is a compact integrated undercounter model with 110 litres of fresh-food space and a 14-litre 4-star icebox. Its reversible sliding-hinge door, electronic touch controls, automatic refrigerator defrosting and 36 dB(A) operation make it practical for a standard 880 mm built-in niche, although the E energy class and small freezer limit its appeal.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 124 litres of total storage, including 110 litres for fresh food and a 14-litre 4-star icebox
- ✓ Reversible sliding-hinge door suits different integrated kitchen layouts
- ✓ Automatic refrigerator defrosting, LED lighting and electronic touch temperature control
- ✓ Quiet official operating figure of 36 dB(A)
Worth considering
- E energy rating and 143 kWh annual consumption are behind the most efficient integrated refrigerators
- The 14-litre icebox provides limited frozen-food storage compared with a full-size fridge freezer
- Static cooling is less evenly distributed than fan-assisted systems, and the freezer compartment requires manual defrosting

Compact integrated storage
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge provides 124 litres of total storage, split between 110 litres of refrigerator space and a 14-litre frozen compartment. That is a practical layout for fresh food and a modest amount of frozen storage, but the icebox is too small for shoppers who regularly store large quantities of frozen food.
Inside, there are two adjustable glass shelves, one fruit and vegetable drawer, two adjustable door shelves and a bottle shelf. The LED interior light and glass crisper cover make the compact interior easier to organise.
Cooling and freezer performance
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge uses static cooling and has a single standard compressor. The refrigerator compartment has automatic defrosting, while the small freezer compartment requires manual defrosting when frost builds up. That is a simpler arrangement than frost-free designs, but it keeps the specification straightforward.
The 4-star icebox has a stated freezing capacity of 2.6 kg per 24 hours, with a FastFreeze function for newly added food. Its 9.5-hour thawing time provides some protection during a short power interruption.
Controls and everyday use
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge uses electronic temperature control with touch-operated adjustment rather than a conventional mechanical dial. The temperature can be selected across a 2°C to 8°C range, and the FastFreeze function is controlled separately.
The reversible door is supplied with a sliding hinge arrangement, allowing the opening direction to be adapted to the kitchen layout. The white metal exterior, LED lighting and adjustable storage make it a practical rather than heavily feature-led appliance.
Installation and fit
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge is designed for an integrated 880 mm-high niche, with a required niche width of 560 mm and depth of 550 mm. The appliance itself measures 873 mm high, 548 mm wide and 549 mm deep, so cabinet measurements and ventilation clearances should be checked before installation.
The manual specifies a minimum 5 cm rear clearance and ventilation openings of at least 200 cm² at both the top and bottom. The kitchen furniture door is not supplied, so a compatible cabinet panel is required.
Energy use and noise
The Smeg UKS4C092E fridge has an E energy rating and stated annual consumption of 143 kWh. That places it in the middle of the current A-to-G scale rather than among the most efficient integrated refrigerators, although the compact capacity limits the absolute amount of energy used.
Its official noise figure is 36 dB(A), with acoustic emission class C. That is quiet enough for most kitchens, while the standard compressor and static cooling system keep the design relatively uncomplicated.
