Advantages: Stylish, makes a statement in any kitchen Disadvantages: expensive to buy and replace parts
...product?
I'd always wanted a smeg fridge because of the way it looked and thought I'd have to make do with a 'normal' fridge freezer when I bought my first place but my mum talked me round. She had a really valid point. She said that if I bought something else it was only money that I could put towards the fridge I wanted which I was going to get at some point anyway. So her theory was that if I bought this straight away I'd save myself the £300 ... ...old mum. I've got to say I fell in love with these fridges years ago - they just make such a statement.
Advantages
It's a real talking point. Every time someone new comes into my house they comment on the fridge. And as all the best parties happen in the kitchen you could be talking about it for hours!
It has a huge fridge section with separate spaces for wine, salad, eggs
Disadvantages
It's very expensive and expensive to replace any of the ...

Advantages: good, solid, very attractive piece of kitchen furniture Disadvantages: Expensive
...owner of a bright red Smeg fridge freezer for about six months now, and have never been less than delighted with its performance. We needed a new fridge because the old one was on its last legs, and this seemed to be particularly nice.
We chose it because it is a good size for a small family (just the 2 of us, no children) and the red colour makes it really stand out. It is well finished off, looks lovely and has a satisfying solidity about the ... ...forever. There is plenty of space in the freezer compartment, although I worried that there wouldn't be - it is more spacious than it looks, and there are bits for eggs, for salad, lots of space in the body of the fridge too.

Advantages: Stylish and uber cool Disadvantages: Pricy and a fiddly egg box
I bought this fridge because I loved the shape and the colour. Yes it's over priced and yes I should have known better but a 'white goods' fridge just didn't do it for me after I had seen it. As far as being a fridge is concerned it does the job of keeping things cool and frozen very well, it is also quiet and reliable. The compartments in the door are serviceable and hold all the usual stuff. The egg box however could have been better designed, ... ...get them in easily. It's never actually caused me to drop one but I always notice it every time I put eggs in it: perhaps this is good afterall, it makes me think about what I'm doing and do it more carefully. The point is you buy this fridge for it's looks and the brand and if these things are important to you you will be content to live with the egg box issue, as am I. ...
