Fridge Freezers > Neff Fridge Freezers

It's a Chiller Queen

Advantages: Big, looks good and works well
Disadvantages: Big and pricey

Neff K3990 American Style Fridge Freezer One of my abiding memories of watching American TV in the seventies and eighties was when the Mom (sic) would go into the kitchen and open this gi-normous fridge, packed to gills with all manner of loveliness. In those far off days fridges of that scale were nought but a dream for us under privileged limeys and we could merely stare in wonder and accept that only a country that could put a man on the moon ...
...told that Siemens, Bosch and Neff appliances are all made by the same people in the same factories so any of those would be suitable. I've no way of verifying this although having replaced a Bosch dishwasher with a Neff one I can confirm that they are almost identical and share most visible parts. With this advice we settled on the Neff K3990, as suggested by our kitchen supplier in the first place. They also price matched the best price I could ...

Whirlpool ARC 5573 Fridge freezer-freezer door seal split

Advantages: It's white
Disadvantages: Rip off cost of spares

Had the Whirlpool ARC 5573 fridge freezer about 20 months. Been OK until I noticed the freezer was starting to frost up. Became so bad that door barely closed. Upon examination I noticed that the door seal had a long split along the top. Telephoned Whirlpool who offered me an engineering call-out. £90 plus VAT plus cost of parts. Checked out price of seal, another £90. So that's about £200 in total to change a door seal on a £280 appliance that was ...
...the way, Whirlpool offered me a monthly maintenance plan at about £25 a month which fom memory entitled me to a free call out with only the cost of parts payable by me. So if my maths are right that's £300 plus the £90 odd for the seal. Are you getting my drift? I will NEVER buy a Whirlpool product again. ...

Rangemaster SXS fridge freezer - a catalogue of disasters

Advantages: It looks pretty
Disadvantages: It doesn't work

I purchased my beautiful cream Rangemaster SXS fridge freezer in October 2008. I could have bought a comparible model in a different make for far less money, but I wanted a Cream one (and it matched my range cooker)Was originally promised delivery for 21st-24th October - eventually it was delivered on 28th November. I looked beautiful. Gave filtered water and cubed or crushed ice. Really impressive for the Christmas visitors. Had a slight problem ...
...irrepairable. Numerous phone calls to Rangemaster almost "begging" for help. I had no fridge or freezer facilities. Despite these requests I was left withour a replacement until Friday 20th November. When a new machine arrived. Hooray. Fresh food at last!!! Thursday 26th November - in the morning found freezer had defrosted (all contents lost) - fridge not working. The machine was less than a week after delivery. Rang Rangemaster again. Engineer ...

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 ...
