French term

réfrigérateur tout utile intégrable

French to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances
Specifications for refrigerators. I understand 'integratable refrigerators' but am unclear on the English equivalent for 'tout utile'.

Thank you!

@Jamie. What do you think "tout utile" means in this context? I looked at one of the Siemens refrigerators described in this way and utile seems to be used for capacity. SEE: http://www.aplan.com.mt/index.php?id=206 in English, and in French http://www.siemens-home.fr/nos-produits/le-froid/réfrigérate...

As you can see from the refs. "tout utile" can be applied to fridges that are not built-in.

Thanks Ann
agree Yolanda Broad : Or just "full feature"

Thanks Ann. UK usage would be "fully featured". To me "full feature" sounds like a big nose, wide mouth etc.

fully integrated refrigerator

My suggestion.
Note from asker:
Thanks, this was a possibility but I think built-in suited the document in this case.

multi-purpose integratable refrigerator

IMHO built-in is incorrect because it isn't: it would have to be built-inable!

Thanks for your input!

agree Elizabeth Slaney : For UK English, Oxford Dict, suggests "integrable" & less of a mouthful. Also like "all-purpose".

Thanks Elizabeth. Quite agree and had in fact meant to propose all-purpose, so how the multi crept in I don't know!
