When I moved into my house 14 years ago, a freestanding fridge/freezer was installed in a kitchen cabinet.

I need to replace the fridge/freezer, but I'm in a dilemma. I'm concerned about things like adequate ventilation and whether an appliance store, such as Currys, will install a fridge in a cabinet cabinet as mine is.

I did some AI research, which told me I should go for an integrated fridge/freezer, because that's what goes in a cabinet and that otherwise it would have indadequate ventilation. I also figured that a specialist team would install this no problem. However, integrated fridge freezers are meant to fit flush within a cabinet and the door is attached to a cabinet door - which is not like my setup.

Should I go with a freestanding fridge/freezer instead? What would work best with this kitchen cabinet?

Cabinet internal dimensions: H-192cm D-76cm W62cm.
Current Fridge dimensions: H-181cm D-61cm W58cm.

What's the difference between that and a FF being installed in between two full height kitchen units? If you're that worried fit a ventilation grille in the roof panel.
 
All fridges require ventilation , nothing special about built in units.
The current cupboard is oversized for a built in unit .
Do you need a specialist team to plug a F/F in?
