Advantages: Modern, Automatic Deforest, Good Value. Disadvantages: Not Frost Free, No Dual Control Thermostat.
When we were looking for a solution to a slight problem - our old fridge/freezer halting its work, we decided to look for another of the same make. Because of some space contraints, we untimately decided upon a seperate fridge and freezer, which works out slightly more expensive, but involves more space for my precious precious food.
Firstly, a look at the company catalogue. The Lec brochure is chic and stylish, effectively advertising its products. This was very nearly wasted on us, however, beceause our old Lec fridge/freezer had been going strong for over 15 years before it finally gave out, and we trusted the company already. We decided on the L1205 fridge, on page 6, and ordered it from Apollo 2000, paying just under £140.
The fridge arrived dead on time, and covered on all but the bottom side by a cardboard box, and some ...

Advantages: washes great low noise Disadvantages: none
Well Christmas Eve saw us left without a washing machine as ours decided that it wanted to pack up. This was a pain, as we wanted to get our last bit of washing done and out the way for the next day. Well we had to wait to get Christmas day out of the way and decided to wait till the sales got in full swing. Anyway it is now New Years Eve and there were plenty of places for us to look at now. Firstly we looked online to see what machines were on offer in the various stores, we looked at the usual, Dixons, Argos, Curry?s and Comet etc. Then we saw an ad on tv and went to the Miller Bros website to look the offer over.
Our previous washing machine was also a Whirlpool and it lasted for about six years so we got a fair bit of use out of it. Rather than get it fixed and incur labour charges that can make up most of the bills we saw ...
Advantages: Queit, very good spin, good wash and overall excellent value! Disadvantages: Can't really find one.
A+ Energy efficiency, and while its only got a B rating on Spin, I do think it gives much better performance on that. Washing efficiency is given as A and I would agree with that one.
Load weight is 5kg which is fairly standard for machines in this range.
I had a Servis machine, and nothing but trouble from the moment we bought it. I have eventually relented and bought this Whirlpool as a direct replacement, costing £185-00 on offer from Co-op direct.
I've immediately taken out the *8* year (yes, eight year) warranty for parts for just £25-00! Okay you still would have to pay for labour, but its pretty impressive to find a budget machine with such good warranty on its parts.
It has done all we've asked of it so far - and is particularly quiet in operation, especially after the Servis machine I had.
It has an anti-crease spin ...
