Looking for a refrigerator for IKEA METOD, suggestions for combinations

Hello community,

I am currently putting together a Metod kitchen and simply cannot find a fridge-freezer combination that fits into the METOD built-in cabinets without having to install a second board 10 cm above the bottom shelf, since the lower parts of the usual fridge-freezer combinations seem to have a standard height of 70 cm. Due to the 20 cm grid, you unfortunately lose another 10 cm at the top and a second gap is created. At least the lower intermediate space cannot be covered in the front either, since the door hinge is located there. If Ikea already introduces its own dimensions and also offers its own kitchen appliances, one should be able to expect that these are better coordinated with each other. Unfortunately, only a 158 cm appliance can be installed in the 178 cm niche and two poorly usable cavities remain.

Don't understand the problem, in my rented apartment with a built-in kitchen (Wellmann) there is a Liebherr fridge installed, also with about 12 cm clearance to the bottom of the cabinet.

If you have 178 cm of space, a combination with a 177 cm niche size should also fit. I have also seen this in the Ikea showroom.

Hello,

if you take the cabinet ME 722 (unfortunately I cannot link it), you only have storage space at the top. It then looks exactly like in your picture.
Best regards

And if I want two doors, like here: Link no longer works, is it then also possible without a gap at the bottom, as shown? I can't find the cabinet, it seems to have a 200cm corpus height – is that still Faktum? The M720 with 220cm height

would be the most similar, but apparently has the mentioned gap at the bottom.

It is directly the first built-in cupboard after the dishwasher fronts when you go through Ikea kitchen furniture, built-in cupboards.

Take a look at the installation instructions for Effektfull. If the lower door of the appliance is not about 60 cm or 80 cm high, you have to live with a narrow compartment at the bottom. You can close it with a cover panel or, for example, place a cake cooling rack inside.
