Sources disagree

The sources give different answers, so we have not chosen one as fact. Read the attached notes and confirm the current specification before relying on it.

The US page advertises 79.2 quarts; the v7 manual prints 79.0 quarts and 75.0 L. These are nominal capacity labels, not measured packing space; the differing quart figures are retained rather than selecting one.

No numeric lid-opening envelope was verified in the Americas manual. Page 5 separately requires at least 50 mm (1.97 in) of ventilation on all sides and unobstructed airflow; that spacing is not lid clearance.

Numeric lid-opening envelope remains unverified. Visible v7 page 1 permits either-side opening or full lid removal; page 13 separately specifies more than 5 cm at the left and right of the compressor cover and 10 cm at its front air outlet for ventilation. Airflow spacing is not lid clearance.

Questions to check before buying

Nominal advertised liters are converted to US quarts explicitly; usable space and zone splits require separate checks.

Lid-opening clearance remains unverified. Closed dimensions include handles, but an installation also needs ventilation and cable access.

VL45PLUS, VL45ProD and non-Pro models are separate identities; their values are not imported.

US-page and v7-manual quart labels differ. Net weight, closed dimensions and compressor ventilation are documented; handle inclusion and numeric lid-opening clearance remain unverified.

The v7 daily-energy figure omits the conditions required for a matched efficiency comparison.
