Renting vs Buying

Fridge or Fridge Freezer: Which Should You Rent?

3 min·Rentanyappliance.com

Short on space or feeding a family? We compare renting a fridge vs a fridge freezer so you pick the right cold storage for your home.

Cold storage comes in two flavours — a fridge-only, and a fridge freezer — and the right one to rent depends on your space, your shopping habits and your household size. Both are available as all-inclusive weekly rentals with free delivery, installation and repairs.

When a fridge-only rental is right

If you live alone or as a couple, shop often, or have a small kitchen, a slim or under-counter fridge is usually plenty. It costs a little less per week than a fridge freezer and takes up less floor space — ideal for studios and flats.

When a fridge freezer rental wins

Families, batch-cookers and anyone who likes to freeze meals benefit from a fridge freezer. The freezer compartment means fewer supermarket trips and less food waste, which can offset much of the slightly higher weekly rental.

Both come on the same simple terms

Whichever you choose, the rental terms are identical: a 12-month minimum term then rolling ongoing with no penalty, free delivery and installation, all repairs included, and no credit checks — just a valid photo ID.
