Roch 190L Single Door Fridge — Built For Ugandan Homes
A single door fridge is the sensible first fridge for most Ugandan homes, and this 190-litre Roch is the one we recommend most often to customers walking into our Katwe shop. It holds a full week of shopping for a family of four or five, it runs quietly enough to sit in a small sitting room, and it keeps working when the power on your line is misbehaving.
At 190 litres you get proper shelf space without the electricity bill of a double door unit. The freezer compartment sits at the top behind its own flap, so the cold air stays where it belongs when you open the main door for a cold drink.
Key features
- 190 litre net capacity with a separate top freezer compartment

- Reversible door — hang it to open left or right depending on your kitchen
- Interior LED lighting

Why Buy This Single Door Fridge From SM Home Appliances
We stock this single door fridge in Katwe and we deliver anywhere in Uganda. Kampala deliveries usually land the same day if you order before midday. Upcountry runs to Mbarara, Gulu, Mbale, Jinja and Arua go out on the normal bus and courier routes, and we crate the unit properly before it leaves the shop.
Every fridge is switched on and checked before it goes on the truck. You get the full manufacturer warranty, and when something goes wrong you deal with us directly on +256 702 058341 instead of chasing a call centre.
Is a single door fridge enough for your family?
If you are three to five people and you shop weekly, yes. A 190-litre single door fridge handles a week of vegetables, a few kilos of meat in the freezer, drinks and leftovers without you having to play tetris every evening. If you buy in bulk once a month, or you run a small business selling cold drinks, look at a double door model or a chest freezer instead.
Running it on Ugandan power
Voltage swings are what kill compressors, not age. We fit almost every fridge we sell with a fridge guard, and we would tell you the same thing whether you bought the guard from us or not — it is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy on an appliance this size.
Leave ten centimetres of clearance behind the unit so the coils can breathe, keep it out of direct sun, and give it four hours standing upright before you switch it on after delivery. That last one matters more than people think. If you want the background on how the cooling cycle actually works, this explainer covers it well.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a single door fridge in Uganda?
Our Roch 190-litre single door fridge is UGX 699,000, down from UGX 1,000,000. Prices across the single door range start around UGX 419,000 for a 120-litre unit. Call +256 702 058341 to confirm current stock and pricing before you order.
Is a single door fridge cheaper to run than a double door?
Yes, noticeably. One door means one seal and one compartment to cool, so the compressor cycles less often. On a prepaid meter most households see a real difference between a 190-litre unit and a 328-litre double door.
Do you deliver outside Kampala?
We deliver countrywide. Kampala orders placed before midday usually arrive the same day. For Mbarara, Gulu, Mbale, Jinja and Arua we crate the single door fridge properly and send it on the next available run, then call you with tracking.
