Product Overview

Smeg FAB38RWH5AU | 481L FAB38 50's Style Retro Fridge White Right Hinge

The iconic Smeg FAB range combines devilishly good looks with high-performance technology. Smeg's FAB fridge is often a distinctive element in the kitchen. Its rounded shapes, chromed details and bright colours are key expressions of style and personality. The profiles of the balconies and glass shelves feature bright chrome finishes with a retro design. Now available in a 70cm width, the new FAB38 offers a unique, sizable capacity to suit your storage needs.

PERFECT BLEND OF ARTISTRY & FUNCTIONALITY

Like other timeless designs, the original Smeg FAB refrigerator is more than just a mere fridge. It’s the focal point of the kitchen, bringing together unquestionable style and premium performance. Always evocative and eclectic, FAB fridges have become standard bearers for “Made in Italy” design all over the world with their inimitable blend of artistry and functionality.

DOUBLE ZONE ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The digital electronic control panel at the top of the fridge provides accurate temperature monitoring in both the fridge and freezer compartments to ensure the long life of perishable food. With three functions: ECO, fast freezing and temperature alarm, the FAB38 optimises freshness and reduces food waste. FUNCTIONS: ECO, Fast freezing, & Temperature alarm.

MULTI-COOLING NO FROST TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to the no frost system you won’t have to manually defrost the freezer as cool air is circulated inside to prevent any icy build ups and maximise storage capacity.

LIFE PLUS 0°C DRAWER

This chilling drawer provides a controlled temperature zone for better and longer preservation of perishable food such as meat, fish, fruit and vegetables and dairy products. This drawer features a perforated panel which can be adjusted to customise the compartment’s level of ventilation and humidity.

NEW ENERGY LABELS

The new energy rating label will provide the industry with more space development and allow customers to compare products much more easily. The main change is that the current efficiency bands have been scaled back to a simple A-G classification, with no further differentiation.

Why Buy?

A 50's silhouette with 481 litres of considered storage

This Smeg refrigerator pairs chrome-trimmed retro curves with a 481-litre capacity across fridge and freezer zones, giving a genuine fridge freezer footprint inside a 706mm-wide body that reads as furniture rather than appliance. The right-hand door swing suits kitchens where bench space and prep zones sit to the left.

A digital control panel manages both compartments independently, with ECO and fast-freeze functions that respond to how the household actually uses it, whether that is a quiet week or a freezer stocked before guests arrive. No-frost circulation keeps the freezer compartment clear of ice build-up, so usable capacity does not shrink over time, while the Life Plus 0°C drawer holds meat, fish and dairy at a steadier, more humid temperature than a standard crisper. Three glass shelves and a twist ice tray are included, with chrome balconies carrying the period detailing through to the interior.

At 2060mm tall and 811mm deep, it holds its own as a focal point in open-plan kitchens where the fridge is meant to be seen, not concealed behind a panel. The gloss white finish and chrome hardware suit spaces built around colour and character rather than flush-fit minimalism, and the 4.5 star energy rating keeps running costs reasonable for a fridge freezer of this scale.

Buy this if…

  • You want a fridge freezer that doubles as a genuine design feature
  • Your kitchen layout calls for a right-hand opening door
  • You need no-frost convenience without manual defrosting routines
  • Chrome trim and 1950s curves suit your kitchen's existing character
  • A dedicated near-zero drawer for meat, fish and dairy matters to your routine
