Fridge Freezers

Great American style fridge freezer

Advantages: No sacrifice of space to water filter/ice maker, loads of fridge space
Disadvantages: Wine rack an optional extra, could benefit from another door shelf.

Great fridge-freezer! We ordered it from Laskys (see my separate review) as they were offering it for the cheapest price at the time. Fridge side (on the right) is bigger than the freezer. We went for this model so we wouldn't need to plumb it into the cold water supply, and we wouldn't sacrifice lots of freezer space to an ice maker. It also has a handy spring-loaded ice tray too, which you fill up with water yourself & flip over the cubes into ...
...coolers so this should be more energy efficient and give you fault tolerance should one fail (you can still use the other half ok while the engineer is being arranged!) Door shelves of fridge are plenty big enough for 2L bottles, but I would have preferred a 3rd one, rather than spacing them out as they have. the 2 salad crisper trays have "temperature optimisation" (whatever that is) but the build quality is sturdy, and the shelves are very strong. ...

Review of Samsung RSH 1 DTMH

Hotpoint RFA52 Excellent product

Advantages: Does what it's supposed to!
Disadvantages: none

I have had this fridge freezer for seven months and haven't had any problems with it. The fridge capacity is enough for a family of four (2 teenagers!) and stays at a stable temperature. It is kept in a utility room which can get very cold, but I haven't noticed any changes in internal temp. Condensation does build up on the back but drains through the bottom hole. The freezer capacity is maybe a little less than I would have liked but means I have ...
...One major niggle are the ice cube trays on the front of the freezer drawers, they seem like good idea but are very small and you can't see how much water to put in. My son bashes the tube on the worktop to dislodge the cubes, which is REALLY annoying and probably not good for the top or ice cube holder. The motor is extremely quiet, in fact sometimes I have to open the fridge door to check it is still working! There are no lights or indicators on ...

Indesit Baan 12s fridge freezer

Advantages: Very good price, attractive frost free fridge freezer
Disadvantages: Rust appeared quickly, broke down after 3 years

I bought the Indesit frost free freezer after moving house, the price was very reasonable at £229.00. The capacity of the fridge freezer is good it's fine for a family of three and my sister also has one and does okay with a family of five. The applicance is very quiet and aesthetically pleasing. There are 3 glass shelves plus 2 salad boxes which are pretty deep. There are also 3 freezer boxes with a fast freeze plus ice cube trays built into them ...
...freezer was frost free and I've only had to defrost it myself once in three years which is good going, the fridge always worked very well and kept food nice and fresh, it was also very easy to keep clean. The downside was rust appeared on the inner seals pretty quickly probably within the first year. The door also dents very easily. After three years unfortunately this applicance no longer works, the freezer has gone off completely destroying a ...

Review of Indesit BAAN 12

It's... A fridge!!!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: bit too tall

This is my latest port of call on my happy go lucky spending spree. You'll have to bear with me on this one as I've never reviewed a fridge before and not quite sure where to start. I guess I'll begin with what it looks like: Look and Design It's not too wide so can easy go between other items, the problem for me was the height, my kitchen has a worktop all the way around, which my other electrical appliances easily fit underneath, for obvious ...
...I was forced to put this in the garage. It has a unique (at least for me) black design with silver handles and, in my opinion, looks quite cool and futuristic, but then I'm used to fridges being white boxes so... Function The volume is fine and I don't have trouble fitting anything in this. This has an energy efficiency rating of A, which is the best, and, so far, it doesn't seem to be using too much electricity. Other than that, well, you ...

Review of Hotpoint FF4DK

Love my Smeg

Advantages: Looks fabulous and lasts a long time.
Disadvantages: Very Expensive on the outset.

I have had my Smeg fridge for the last 5 years, Ihave it in pastel green and it looks the same now as the day it was delivered. It looks fabulous, its works great and I wouldn't get another fridge (unless it was another Smeg). The only down side to these appliances is that they cost a lot of money - in my opinion its well worth it but for some they a simply unaffordable. Another 4 people in my family also have a Smeg fridge or fridgefrezer and they ...
