Candy Fridge Freezers

The split refers to how the appliance’s internal volume is divided between fridge and freezer — 50/50 gives equal space to both, while 70/30 gives more room to the fridge. If you batch cook or freeze a lot, a 50/50 like the CB50N518EK or CB50S518EK will suit you because the larger freezer handles bulk meals and frozen groceries. If you store more fresh food, fruit and veg or cook daily, a 70/30 such as the CBBML18EK or CBBMT18EK gives more fridge capacity for fresh produce and leftovers. For a couple or small family who buy fresh weekly, 70/30 is often more practical; for a household that freezes ready meals, 50/50 works better.

Total No Frost prevents any ice build-up across both compartments by circulating dry air, so you never manually defrost; models like the CBBMT18EK use this technology for low maintenance. No Frost (as on the CB50N518EK) offers the same advantage of no ice build-up, while Low Frost (CB50S518EK) reduces ice formation but may still need occasional defrosting. Total No Frost is best if you want near-zero upkeep and fast, even cooling; Low Frost can keep slightly higher humidity, which a lot of vegetables prefer. If you value convenience and minimal maintenance, pick a Total No Frost model.

Yes — several Candy built-in models are designed with generous freezer compartments and fast-freeze functions to lock in nutrients and freeze bulk meals quickly. A 50/50 built-in such as the CB50N518EK gives you ample freezer space and the fast-freeze feature for trays of batch-cooked stews or large roasting joints. Deep door balconies and adjustable shelves make it easier to store tall containers or stack boxes neatly. If you regularly freeze portions for the week, choose a model with a larger freezer and the fast-freeze setting.

Wi‑Fi lets you monitor and tweak temperatures remotely, so you can drop the fridge temperature before you arrive home with a full food shop or switch on a quick freeze when you load in day-one groceries. It also helps if you spot an alert while you’re out, for example to adjust settings after a power cut. Not every model has Wi‑Fi, but where it’s available it adds real convenience and control without you needing to be in the kitchen. For busy lives, remote control can prevent spoilage and make meal-planning easier.

Candy models include adjustable shelves and deep door balconies specifically to handle taller bottles and odd-shaped cookware, so you can rearrange shelving to create the space you need. For example, lowering a glass shelf and using the deep door balconies lets you store wine or water bottles upright without wasting shelf area. The adjustable shelving also helps when you’re putting in a tall casserole dish after entertaining. This flexibility means the fridge adapts to your routine rather than the other way around.
