Smeg Freezers

Three Smeg upright freezers, from R10,500. Two are free standing on a 60 cm footprint and one is a built-in that disappears behind a furniture door. All three have reversible doors, which is worth saying up front because the FAB retro fridges do not – if you have been shopping the Smeg fridge range and hit that wall, the freezers are the exception.The thing the spec sheets bury: the cheaper free-standing model is the better freezer. The ZACV283NX in stainless steel at R10,500 holds 280 litres and freezes 25 kg in 24 hours. The RF28KNZA in Dark Inox at R15,000 holds 278 litres and freezes 14.5 kg in 24 hours. You are paying R4,500 more for the darker finish and an interior LED light, not for a bigger or faster machine. If you buy meat in bulk or freeze a harvest in one session, that freezing-capacity figure is the one that decides whether it all goes solid overnight or sits half-frozen for a day.Free standing. Both models are 595 mm wide and 1,860 mm tall with a reversible door, run on inverter compressors at 41 dB, and carry a fast-freeze button, a holiday setting, electronic temperature control and a temperature alarm. Five drawers each; the stainless model adds two flap compartments, the Dark Inox model adds an interior light.Built-in. The ZAS8F174NE at R11,000, against a Smeg South Africa list price of R32,299, is 204 litres in a 54 cm housing rather than a 60 cm gap. It is the quietest of the three at 39 dB and the most efficient at A+, and it takes a furniture door on the front so the freezer reads as a cupboard. It has to have that housing – a built-in cabinet cannot stand free in a room, because it vents forwards rather than out of the sides and back.Everything here is genuine, boxed Smeg stock.

Smeg freezers in South Africa: common questions

Which Smeg free standing freezer should I buy?

The ZACV283NX at R10,500. It holds 280 litres against the R15,000 model’s 278, and it freezes 25 kg in 24 hours against 14.5 kg. The extra R4,500 on the RF28KNZA buys the Dark Inox finish and an interior LED light, not more capacity or faster freezing.

Are Smeg freezer doors reversible?

Yes, on all three models. This is worth knowing if you have looked at the Smeg FAB retro fridges, where the doors are right-hinged and cannot be reversed. On the freezers you can hinge the door either way to suit the kitchen.

What is the difference between a built-in and a free standing freezer?

A free standing freezer sits in a 60 cm gap and is finished on all visible sides. A built-in unit goes inside a tall kitchen cabinet, takes a furniture door on the front and vents forwards, so it must have that housing - it cannot stand loose in a room. The built-in here needs a 54 cm wide, 1.77 m tall housing.

How much does a Smeg freezer cost in South Africa?

From R10,500. The 280 litre stainless free-standing model is R10,500, the 204 litre built-in is R11,000 and the 278 litre Dark Inox free-standing model is R15,000. Smeg South Africa lists them at R21,999, R32,299 and R24,999 respectively - we are an independent retailer buying genuine boxed stock, which is why these sit below list.

How noisy is a Smeg freezer?

39 dB on the built-in and 41 dB on both free-standing models. For reference, 40 dB is roughly a quiet library. The free-standing models use inverter compressors, which modulate rather than switching hard on and off, so the noise is steady rather than intrusive.

How much electricity does a Smeg freezer use?

257 kWh a year on the 280 litre stainless free-standing model and 306 kWh a year on the A+ built-in. The built-in draws more in absolute terms because it works harder inside a cabinet, but per litre of capacity it is the more efficient of the two.

Is delivery free on a Smeg freezer?

Yes, anywhere in South Africa with no minimum spend. These are heavy boxed appliances, so tell us in advance if there are stairs, a narrow passage or an access restriction at the address and we will plan around it. Cross-border delivery is quoted per order.

Do you deliver Smeg freezers outside South Africa?

Yes, to Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Large appliances are quoted case by case because crating and the border leg change the number, and the quote includes a duty estimate so the price you agree is the landed price. Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini are inside SACU, so no customs duty applies.
