Hi all

Would someone kindly measure the gap for the fridge freezer please?  I need the maximum size of a f/freezer which can be insalled there ?  Many thanks.

Which type of apartment do you have as the sizes may vary??

Hi Malcolm,

I'm afraid I can't answer your question about measurements as not out at Condado. However, i just wanted to forewarn you that it is perhaps not too accurate to go by someone elses' apartment measurements. The reason I say this is that quite a few people in the Jardines, including ourselves, had a problems with the casing around the fridge / freezer 'space' being wonky (and the washing machine 'space' for that matter). Our kitchen worktop pushed into the side of the casing a little meaning our gap was noticeably wider at the top than the bottom. We ordered the same fridge - freezer as many others (from Real Domestic) as it was recommended as being ok but the only way we could get it in the gap was to remove the skirting tiles off the wall. The same had to be done for our washing machine and both are a very tight squeeze but in! So I would suggest you don't go for the absolute largest appliance you can find - allow some leeway. If the worst comes to the worst the skirting tiles come off very easily with a hammer and screwdriver and you can't see that they're missing once the appliance is in place.

Hope that hasn't worried you too much

Hi Malcolm

We are in a penthouse but I think that it has been a common problem in all types of apartments that Polaris have not made the gap big enough to fit a standard size fridge freezer.  I think the gap should fit a 600mm wide fridge freezer which is what we bought.  In fact the very same fridge that was featured in the Polaris homestyle brochure.  When it arrived it was obvious that it was not going to fit (the gap was about 595mm!).  We had to get Polaris to come and move the hob etc up by a few mms to fit it in.  They did try and tell us that we had bought the wrong size fridge until I showed them the same one in their brochure, when they saw it they just laughed.  So I would say do not rely on anybody elses measurments, don't buy until you have checked it yourself!
