Refrigerator with fixed water connection

Yes, I have my doubts about hygiene with the 2.5m long hose.

A water connection directly next to the refrigerator is not possible because of the cabinets
only the water connection from the dishwasher remains and then 2.5m to the refrigerator.

or we take a refrigerator with a water tank

We don’t need much water anyway; we would only use the water for ice cubes

well.
how much water is in a 2.5m hose, 70-100ml?
That means every time you fill it, you change the water, regardless of whether the hose is 1m or 4m long.
I would never take a refrigerator with a tank again. If already a water connection, then fixed water supply.

Only ice cubes is of course something different.....

Why? Whether the water is in a permanently installed pipe or in a hose, it doesn’t matter. Depending on the diameter, the hose has the advantage that it contains less water and thus the water is replaced faster. And you can also replace it if it gets "grimy."

Why? Whether the water is standing in a fixed pipe or in a hose, it doesn't matter. The hose has, depending on the diameter, the advantage that it contains less water and thus the water is replaced faster. And you can also replace it if it should be "leaky."

What would be important to me is easy access for filter replacement, e.g., under the sink cabinet in the plinth area. If you have to pull out the fridge every time, it is 1. annoying 2. you just don't do it

When installing a new kitchen in shell construction, it shouldn't be a problem, nor should it explicitly be more expensive to install a tap.

This water tank... well, but if I can plan it, I find a fixed connection more hygienic.

In our case, the filter is in the door and every 6 months it complains (700 liters).

And that’s exactly why I keep saying ... just show the plan, then there might be a sensible idea

I don't understand, we have the same cabinets and there is a water connection.
