Which cooling/freezer combinations are in the 220 cabinet (ME 719)?

Hello everyone,

I am currently planning my kitchen and now considering which integrated appliances I could choose. Unfortunately, I can't find any listing online of which appliances are even possible or recommended.

For the ME 719, Ikea only offers the RÅKALL.

However, I find that this leaves too much unused space.

On the internet, I then searched for 178 cm appliances. Many of them have a fridge door larger than 100 cm at the top, so not suitable for the ME 719. I only found the Neff KG714A2 with 998 mm and the AEG SCS61800F1 with 979.5 mm and fixed-door technology.

Would there be any problems with installation for these models?

Alternatively, I also find separate Bosch/Siemens appliances. So, an 88 cm fridge and a 72 cm freezer.

Price-wise, the separate systems are a bit more expensive.

Is there a list somewhere of suitable appliances? Is there anything against the AEG?

Thanks and best regards, bamboocha

What speaks against using the ME 720 instead?

The downside of the 720 is that you have to open the refrigerator door to access the compartment above it.

There is no list of suitable devices. You should first choose a device that meets your requirements and then see if you can assemble a suitable cabinet. Fixed door technology is usually not a problem, and you don't lose 2 cm in width as you do with sliding doors.

Hello Nörgli, hello IKEA expert,

thank you for the answers.

Against the 720 is that you have to open the fridge door to get to the compartment above it.

Exactly. :)

But the "selecting a device" thing puzzles me a bit.
Because most have a one meter point something door for the fridge area and IKEA simply has a 20cm grid.
That means that I have to take the ME 720 after all and no longer have a flap on top.

You could also make a 20 flap if you want to put trays or something like that in this compartment, for example. Whether it visually matches the rest now, you have to see.

Or place a drawer with a 20 cm front under the combination.

But if it is supposed to be a 40 cm high compartment, then the only option really is to look for a device with different door heights.
