Smeg FC40RX

Advantages: Great looker
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Since I have started writing reviews on the contents of my kitchen I would like to follow up by telling you about my SMEG fridge freezer yes the names funny but the fridge freezer is a serious piece of equipment that I would never be without even though it cost my mum as a house warming present over £1700 well she would not buy me any other brand as she swears by SMEG and we have always had this brand in my family home. I know what you are all thinking why spend so much on a fridge freezer well the truth is if it had not been bought for me then I would never be able to afford it. Before I talk about the fridge freezer here are the specifications for comparison.

Next you have the buttons which control the start/stop, fast-forward, easy-iron, half-load and spin speed options within a program. Finally on the right is a dial which you use to select...

...it, we'd forgotten to check 'significant' opinion sites. As it turns out, I was the first to review this on Ciao anyway and on Dooyoo, I'm having to suggest it in the first place. The SMEG had the lot, and despite still being £299* after being reduced by 50 quid was what we went for in the end. It was also the only stainless steel-fronted one on show. * If I recall correctly, this is still less than we paid 9 years ago. It goes without saying, that, despite being a vast 'warehouse' Currys, it wasn't actually in stock apart from the demo model, but to be fair, the delivery was well handled and with plenty of 'information' coming my way without asking. You ring a number the day before delivery, and by keying in your order details, a mechanised system tells you your '4-hour delivery slot'. On the actual day, they ring you 30... Read review
