What is the Miele KFN 29233 D BB Blackboard?

For those who have struggled to find a piece of paper to scribble down that vital milk reminder or phone number, Miele’s KFN 29233 D BB has the answer.

Comfortably proving the adage that some of the best ideas are the simplest, meet the “Blackboard” special edition of Miele’s KFN 29233 frost-free fridge freezer.

Miele KFN29233D BB Blackboard – Capacity and Layout

The KFN29233D delivers close to the absolute maximum amount of total cooling capacity you can squeeze into a 60cm-wide fridge freezer without needing a ladder to get to the top shelf. For vertically challenged users, that may already be the case. You get a whopping 260 litres of chiller capacity and 101 litres of freezer space.

Miele KFN29233D BB Blackboard – Noise Levels

Miele has gone to some length to make the KFN29233D as quiet as possible, installing sound-deadening materials in critical areas, running a sound-optimised refrigeration cycle and using a very quiet motor. Miele calls this its “Silence System” and the result is a claimed 38dB sound output on the energy label, which is as low as refrigerators get.

Miele KFN29233D BB Blackboard – Performance

We loaded the fridge with 0.5kg of mixed fresh food per 10 litres of fridge capacity, and the freezer at 1kg per 10 litres of space. This including 2 litres of room-temperature water to represent fresh-to-frozen food such as freezing a beef joint or a fresh whole chicken.

Miele KFN29233D BB Blackboard – Running Costs

Miele’s rather cold freezer running at -20 to -22ºC rather than the -18ºC set on the thermostat will undoubtedly have a slightly negative effect on running costs, as it simply needs more energy to keep things colder – or, more accurately, colder than the ambient air temperature of your kitchen.

Should I buy the Miele KFN29233D BB Blackboard?

The KFN29233D Blackboard is everything we’ve come to expect from Miele’s flagship refrigeration. It’s incredibly energy efficient, offers consistent temperature and is packed with nice touches like the concealed handles and dishwasher-safe storage bins.
