In detail: Klarstein Big Daddy Cool Compact Fridge-Freezer Combo
The Klarstein Big Daddy Cool combines, in a single-door appliance, a 61-litre fridge compartment and a 26-litre freezer compartment at the top, for a total capacity of 87 litres. This compact fridge-freezer combo format is aimed at secondary kitchens, studios, kitchenettes or small summer kitchens, where a large standard 70/30 combo would be oversized but a simple table-top fridge without a freezer would lack versatility.
Two removable glass shelves organise the fridge compartment, complemented by separate door racks for bottles and cans, and a removable vegetable drawer kept close to 0°C to extend the freshness of produce. The four-star freezer compartment stays separately accessible at the top, handy for everyday frozen food and ready meals, without eating into the fridge's space.
Its energy class E and noise level kept to 40 dB make it a discreet appliance, suited to use in a living room or a shared studio, without the louder hum of some large family combos. Automatic defrosting of the fridge compartment and the glossy finish make everyday upkeep easier.
User reviews, averaging 4/5, regularly praise the quiet operation, fast cooling even on a moderate thermostat setting, and the careful build quality for this price segment. The main thing to watch is its intended use: designed for a single person or a couple, this compact combo remains well short of what's needed to store a family with children's shopping, a use case that calls for a larger-capacity model.
For a single person, a student, a second home or a studio kitchenette, the Klarstein Big Daddy Cool offers full fridge-and-freezer self-sufficiency in a small footprint (49.2 x 47 x 83.7 cm), at a price well below that of a full-size combo.

Our tester's verdict: Pierre Freysinger
On paper, an 87-litre single-door fridge-freezer combo sounds unremarkable, but in daily use it turns out to be exactly the right compromise for a kitchenette or a second home: the freezer compartment at the top stays accessible without digging around, and the vegetable drawer keeps lettuce and cucumbers crisp for several days. The point that comes up most often in feedback, ours included, is that it runs genuinely quietly day to day, easy to forget about even when placed near a dining corner. The temperature drops fast, even on a moderate thermostat setting, which helps keep consumption in check. Two things worth knowing before buying: energy class E isn't the most efficient on the market, and its capacity, plenty for one or two people, quickly feels tight once a child or a flatmate moves in. For a studio, a single person or a holiday rental, though, it's a safe bet, nicely finished for its price.
Frequently asked questions: Klarstein Big Daddy Cool Compact Fridge-Freezer Combo
No, its 87 litres (61 L fridge, 26 L freezer) are designed for one or two people: a studio, kitchenette, second home or summer kitchen. A family with children will need a much larger-capacity combo.
The freezer compartment (26 L, four-star) sits at the top of the appliance, accessible independently from the fridge compartment (61 L), even though both are behind a single outer door.
It's rated at 40 dB, a discreet level that lets you install it in a living room or a shared studio without noticeable disturbance, a point regularly praised in user reviews.
A compact combo like the Big Daddy Cool centralises fridge and freezer in a single, low-footprint appliance, ideal for a studio where there isn't room for two separate units, at the cost of a more limited freezing capacity.
