Miele K 2329 S

Advantages: Sexy, energy efficient, mine
Disadvantages: Little more expensive than other fridges

..., separate ones. So for the first time I got my own fridge. I knew what I wanted. I wanted something that would have as good an energy rating as possible, would have plenty of space for all those lovely veggies I like to eat, that would be easy to clean, would display the temperature and would be reliable. Enter the Miele K 2214 S. It's energy rating is A, which is as good as you can get. This means it will use near the minimum necessary electricity - thus saving you money and being good for the environment. It's a fairly standard size fridge and will probably fit in the majority of standard fridge-sized spaces. It is not slimline. When it arrived, getting it out of it's packaging was fairly awkward - it's a big old thing, you know - but no more than you would expect for an item of its size. Turning it on for the first time...

Advantages: Looks lovely and is very spacious
Disadvantages: Doesn't work correctly

...Lewis, we found a Miele fridge (I'm sorry I can't remember the cost). The name Miele was one which had always been drummed into me as being expensive, good quality, reliable etc etc. This particular fridge was undamaged but end of line and therefore not quite as pricey. We decided to get it. You always seem to look more closely when you get things home and over the next few weeks we admired our fridge. It had so much space inside. We did have a bit of trouble fitting it though. This was our fault because the fridge was 600mm wide and the gap wasn't. A slight adjustment to the kitchen cupboards along one wall didn't take long (for my dad and husband!). Before the 2 year warranty was up, a strange smell was coming from the fridge. Nothing was mentioned in the problem solving section of our manual. When the engineer came out he showed us... Read review

...of the machine, but this weighs rather more. Like I said, I have had two of these machines since 1989 and my family have owned 2 others. All have worked faultlessly over all that time and the only 'failure' was when one was destroyed in a house fire (it caused smoke causing £40k worth of damage (!!), but the fire was NOTHING to do with the Miele - it caught fire when the gas boiler exploded! So - do you want to spend just a little more (they are from £170 or so, so compared to Dyson junk, good value) and have a machine for a lifetime, or do you want to spend about the same (or more) and get a fashion accessory? The choice, as always, is yours.... Read review
