At a glance
This 242L integrated bottom mount fridge is a neat option for apartments, small households or secondary kitchens that need a concealed built-in look. Its main strengths are the cabinetry-ready design, bench-height fridge access, touch controls and turbo cooling support. The trade-off is its smaller overall capacity, so it is less suited to larger families or bulk grocery shoppers.

Things to consider
Its 242L total capacity is better for small households than larger families, and it offers less storage flexibility than bigger premium integrated models.
Family size suitability
Best for 1 to 2 people
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - 4 star energy rating is a strong result for an integrated bottom mount fridge.
Freezer accessibility
Good - bottom freezer is easy to separate from fresh food, though less convenient than upper fridge access for frozen items.
Noise level vs category average
5/10 - no noise figure is provided, so it should be considered typical for the category rather than especially quiet.
Smart home compatibility
No smart home features specified
Key benefits
- Integrated design: blends into cabinetry for a clean, concealed kitchen finish.
- Bottom mount layout: keeps the main fridge section at bench height for easier daily access.
- 180L fridge compartment: provides practical fresh food storage for a small household.
- 63L freezer compartment: gives separate frozen food space for everyday groceries.
- Electronic touch controls: make temperature adjustments more precise and straightforward.
- Turbo cooling fan: helps chill drinks and fresh produce more quickly after loading.
- Reversible door hinge: offers more flexibility when fitting the fridge into different kitchen layouts.
- 4 star energy rating: supports lower running costs than less efficient models with a lower star rating.
Q: Is the freezer large enough for weekly frozen food shopping
A: It suits light to moderate freezer use rather than bulk buying. The freezer section holds 63L, which works for everyday staples and a few larger items, but households that keep lots of frozen meals or meat may want more freezer space.
Q: Can the door swing be changed during an integrated kitchen install
A: Yes. The reversible door hinge gives more flexibility when planning the cabinetry and traffic flow around the fridge. That helps in tighter apartment kitchens or secondary kitchens where the default opening side may be awkward.
Q: Does turbo cooling chill drinks quickly after a big grocery shop
A: Yes. The turbo cooling fan is designed to pull the temperature back down faster after the door has been opened repeatedly or new groceries are loaded in. It helps with even cooling, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated drinks fridge.
Q: Can you set fridge and freezer temperatures separately on this model
A: Yes. Smeg SABI256BM uses electronic touch controls for precise temperature adjustment for the fridge and freezer zones. That gives more control than a simple dial, which is useful when storage needs change across seasons or shopping cycles.
Q: Will this integrated fridge suit a small household or apartment kitchen
A: Yes. The 242L total capacity is aimed at smaller homes, and the integrated design suits kitchens where a built-in look matters. Buyers who store a lot of frozen food should note that more of the space is allocated to the fridge than the freezer.
Q: Does the freezer need manual defrosting over time
A: No. Smeg SABI256BM has a frost-free freezer, so ice does not need to be chipped away by hand in normal use. That makes it easier to keep drawers usable, though good door sealing still matters to limit excess frost from warm air entering.
Q: Is this fridge smart enabled for app control or alerts
A: No. Smeg SABI256BM is not smart-enabled, so there is no Wi-Fi pairing or app control for temperature changes and alerts. If remote monitoring matters in your kitchen, this model keeps operation manual through the onboard touch controls.
