SMEG Debuts American-Style Side-by-Side Freezer Fridge

SMEG just launched the brand's first ever American style freezer fridge.

SMEG has launched the smart fridge freezer FQI60KD, and it is the brand’s first ever smart fridge freezer featuring dark inox four doors, an LED touchscreen display, smart food waste technology and optimized storage solutions. It is now available to pre-order in Italy and the United Kingdom. The SMEG FQI60KD is not available yet in the United States. The color is called dark inox (French for stainless steel) and it is the Italian take on the American style.

An American style fridge refers to the refrigerators with side-by-side layout, two separate vertical doors for the fridge and freezer compartments, and a larger capacity for storage including ice and water dispensers. In comparison, the Italian style fridge features a more integrated design, a smaller footprint, a top-mounted freezer or a combined fridge-freezer compartment with a single door, often prioritizing aesthetics, and design over storage space. The American style fridges prioritize functionality and large storage space over aesthetics and design. Therefore, SMEG is leading the industry with its very first take on the American style fridge featuring its expansive storage space and a flexible multizone compartments to provide versatility, convenience and premium performance to busy households and large families.

SMEG transformed the American style two doors into four doors with their new take on black stainless steel aesthetics. Matte Black and stainless steel are widely popular in America for its modern, minimalistic, sleek aesthetics and what better way to combine the two America’s favorites into one? The SMEG freezer fridge is built with durable stainless steel, so it is rust-resistant, fingerprints-resistant, and you won’t have to worry about the stains or fingerprints since it is in black.

The SMEG FQI60KD is a freestanding side by side refrigerator and it has a total capacity of 12.11 cu. ft. of fresh food storage across all shelves and compartments. The freezer can handle a maximum of 6.3 cu. ft. of frozen food split across several drawers. The two full-width glass shelves are available for storage everyday food items and an extra-large crisper zone provides generous space for storing everything from fruits to vegetables. Below these compartments, the high moisture drawer extends freshness, and the fresh zone (zero-star zone) is excellent for storing raw meat, fish, and seafood because the fresh zone is designed to preserve perishable items. There are several shelving options in the inner door compartments for drinks, jars, condiments, and all your favorite sauces.

The smart fridge freezer has a Multiflow cooling system which distributes cold air evenly throughout the fridge to ensure an ideal temperature and humidity for food storage. The fridge has triple cooling system and automatic defrost. There is a life plus 0°C or 32°F drawer which is a controlled temperature zone (-2°C +3°C) designed for a longer preservation period to store perishable food such as fish, cheese, and meat. The freezer compartment provides a fast-freezing compartment, and a No Frost system so manual frosting is not necessary. The digital LED display with temperature control ensures effortless operation and convenience.

This is the way SMEG is combating food waste through its advanced technology and optimized storage solutions. According to the United Nations Environment Programme's 2024 Food Waste Index Report, food waste is a market failure that results in throwing away more than $1 trillion USD worth of food every year and food waste generates an estimated 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It takes up the equivalent of nearly 30% of the world's agricultural land. The estimated global food waste in 2022 for household was 79 kg per capita per year on a global average and it is 631 million tonnes total. For the food service sector was 36 kg per capita per year and 290 million tonnes. It was 17 kg per capita per year for the retail sector and a total of 131 million tonnes. In 2022, the world wasted an estimated 1.05 billion tonnes of food in the household, food service and retail sectors combined. This report illustrates that 19% of food available to consumers are being wasted in 2022. Through its cutting-edge technology, SMEG is dedicated to combating food waste and bringing innovative solutions to the table for the environmental sustainability.

This refrigerator received D for the energy rating score. It consumes 255 kWh per year, and it is considered as the median score on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) scale in the United Kingdom. You can enable the power saving mode to disable the refrigerator if you are on a vacation or during the holiday travels.

Combing sleek design with advanced technology will make sure the fridge does all the work for you so you can sit back and relax. This is a great investment for those who are looking for new smart freezer fridge that offers cutting-edge technology, sleek black design, optimized storage solutions, functionality, and convenience to elevate your kitchen.
