At a glance
The CHiQ 202L Top Mount Refrigerator is a compact fridge-freezer for singles, couples and smaller households that want simple, low-maintenance cooling. Its strengths are frost free operation, even cooling with multi air flow, a reversible door and a humidity control crisper for produce. The main limitation is its modest 202L capacity, which may feel tight for larger households or bulk shoppers.

Things to consider
Its 202L total capacity suits smaller households, but it offers less storage flexibility and bulk-food space than larger or more premium top mount models.
Apartment suitability score
9/10 - Compact 202L size and reversible door make it a strong fit for apartments and smaller kitchen layouts.
Family size fit
Best for 1-2 people
Energy efficiency rating
8/10 - 5 star energy rating supports lower running costs for an everyday fridge in this size range.
Fresh food storage flexibility
7/10 - Good everyday flexibility with 148L fridge space, a humidity control crisper and even cooling, but limited capacity for larger weekly shops.
Key benefits
- Total Frost Free: Reduces maintenance by eliminating the need for manual defrosting.
- Multi Air Flow: Circulates cold air more evenly through the cabinet to help maintain consistent cooling across shelves.
- Electronic Control: Lets you adjust temperature settings more easily with digital controls.
- Door Alarm: Alerts you if the door has been left open for a period of time, helping avoid unnecessary temperature rise.
- Humidity Control Crisper: Helps keep fruit and vegetables organised with adjustable humidity settings for different produce needs.
- Fast Cool: Quickly lowers the internal temperature after adding groceries to help maintain freshness.
- Reversible Door: Makes placement easier in different kitchen layouts by allowing the door swing to be changed.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong energy performance under the Australian star rating system.
Q: Is the freezer big enough for weekly frozen basics?
A: Yes, for a smaller household. The freezer section gives you 54L for staples like bread, frozen meals and ice, but it is not aimed at bulk buying or long freezer stockpiles for a larger household.
Q: Can the fridge door be reversed for different kitchen layouts?
A: Yes. This model comes with a left-hand door opening and can be switched to right-hand, which helps in tighter kitchens or awkward corners. That flexibility changes the swing direction, not the cabinet size itself.
Q: Will this fridge suit a family or shared household?
A: No, not as a main fridge for most larger households. With 202L total capacity, it is better matched to one or two people, a smaller kitchen, or use as a second fridge where storage demand is lighter.
Q: How useful is fast cooling after a big grocery shop?
A: Fast cooling is useful when adding a fresh load of groceries. It lowers the fridge temperature to help newly added food chill sooner, but it does not turn a compact fridge into a higher-capacity model for bulk shopping.
Q: Does frost free mean the freezer needs manual defrosting?
A: No. CHiQ CTM201NB5E uses a frost free design across the cabinet, so routine manual defrosting is not part of normal use. You still need to keep vents clear and close the door properly for best cooling performance.
Q: What does multi air flow actually change in daily use?
A: Multi air flow circulates chilled air through the cabinet for more even cooling across shelves. That helps reduce warmer and colder spots than simpler layouts, though overcrowding the shelves can still restrict airflow around food.
Q: Does the door alarm make a real difference day to day?
A: Yes. The door alarm sounds if the door stays open for a period of time, which helps catch a door left ajar before too much cold air escapes. It is a practical feature, but it does not replace checking the door has sealed.
