Our first combined fridge freezer

Advantages: Good capacity for small family, no frost or condensation on interior walls.
Disadvantages: Freezer compartments quite tight for large items like pizza's etc

...This is a great fridge freezer for a small family. Our family is two adults and a child, and it copes very well with the weekly shop, although can be pretty packed. Starting at the top, from the outside, there are six buttons at the very top of the machine, three to either side of the digital display. The first on the left is the power button, which as you would imagine is used for switching the whole thing on and off. This is however an 'electronic' on/off switch therefore there will still be power going to the device if you don't switch off at the socket. One thing we noticed with these buttons is that they can quite easily be pushed 'in' and end up further back behind the facia than they should be. A gentle touch is all that is required! The next button 'SUPER' is essentially a fast freeze button, which will run...

fridge freezer

Advantages: large fridge
Disadvantages: less frezer space

...we brought this fridge freezer about 6 months ago from the argos after our old one finaly bit the dust, it cost £290 and is only available on home delivery. The doors on this can be fitted either side so you can choose which side you want them to open from, the light in the fridge is on the top of the inside of the fridge which gives a lot more light in the fridge than my old one used to which was on the side, it has 4 glass shelves inside the fridge that three are adjustable so that you can choose where inside the fridge you want them and you have a salad tray at the bottom, there are 3 trays on the door of the fridge for dairy items that are quite small, one has an egg tray and the others are ideal for tins and butter. there is a larger tray on the bottom of the fridge door that is ideal for milk and pop. The freezer part has 3...

Review of Indesit BAAN 12

A fridge/freezer big enough for a family of six

Advantages: Frost free
Disadvantages: none

...With 2 adults and 4 children in the house we needed a fridge/ freezer that was big enough to hold enough chilled/frozen foods to last a week. This one is certainly big: Key Features Refrigerator Type Bottom Freezer Total Volume 10.52 cu ft Freezer Volume 3.89 cu ft Number of Shelves 2 Door Opens Opens Left and Right Dimensions Overall Depth 23.62 in. Overall Height 74.8 in. Overall Width 23.62 in. Controls. These are hidden behind the fridge door at the top out of reach of small fingers. There's one for the fridge temperature and another for the freezer, a red alarm lamp comes on if there's a problem with the freezer, maybe someone left the door open a little, there is also a rapid freeze button if you want to...

Review of Indesit C239 Fridge Freezer

Cool Fridge

Advantages: Good versatile space
Disadvantages: bit large

...I’m a bloke so when it comes to buying stuff I generally leave it to the wife. I’m happy buying music, books, computer games and technical stuff but when it comes to white goods I’m just not interested enough, as long as it does the job and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg I’m fine about it. We just moved house and so the fridge which was perfectly good for the other house is no longer good enough for the new house, apparently. So off we went dragging very uncooperative kids through electrical stores, they are absolute swines in places like that, way too many gadgets to fiddle with, buttons to press and tall equipment to get lost in. So I chased my son through aisle after aisle of fridges, freezers and other expensive white goods trying to stop him causing as much damage as possible. My wife on the other...

Samsung RSH1DBMH Fridge Freezer

Advantages: Loads of space in fridge, great ice and water dispenser, not too big
Disadvantages: Not a huge capacity in freezer

...I have always wanted one of these american style fridge freezers but never had the room until we moved into our new house. Actually it does not take up as much room as I thought it would and it is a great centre piece to the kitchen. This fridge freezer is on wheels so although you'd think it was difficult to move it really isn't, I can move it easily! The ice and water facilities are fantastic. You have to have it plumbed into the mains pipe which my husband, who is certainly not a plumber, managed with ease! We did have to buy a little tap to fit it to the pipe but that was only a few pounds compared to what you would have to pay a plumber! You simply put the tap to the pipe and screw, it pierces the pipe then you can attach the hose supplied with the fridge freezer! This means you never have to fill up the water or make ice...

Review of Samsung RSH 1 DTMH

Great American style fridge freezer

Advantages: No sacrifice of space to water filter/ice maker, loads of fridge space
Disadvantages: Wine rack an optional extra, could benefit from another door shelf.

...Great fridge-freezer! We ordered it from Laskys (see my separate review) as they were offering it for the cheapest price at the time. Fridge side (on the right) is bigger than the freezer. We went for this model so we wouldn't need to plumb it into the cold water supply, and we wouldn't sacrifice lots of freezer space to an ice maker. It also has a handy spring-loaded ice tray too, which you fill up with water yourself & flip over the cubes into the tray when ready. Freezer and fridge have separate coolers so this should be more energy efficient and give you fault tolerance should one fail (you can still use the other half ok while the engineer is being arranged!) Door shelves of fridge are plenty big enough for 2L bottles, but I would have preferred a 3rd one, rather than spacing them out as they have. the 2 salad crisper...

I am a Firdge Freezer

Advantages: It is a Fridge and a Freezer
Disadvantages: I could do with a bigger freezer

...My oh so wonderfull landlord has just bought me one of these things cause the old fridge had blown up and it has a freezer too, thank you Mr Landlord. I have only had this baby for a week and I am in love, I was that excited about having my own freezer that I ran out a bought a ice cube tray thingy only to find out that it had one in the top drawer of the freezer compartment, which seems to be the only usefull thing you can put in the top drawer. There are three compartments in the freezer of the same size and most frozen products will fit niceley in them apart from frozen pizzas which have to be stuck in at a jaunty angle. You can also fit packets of square sausage in them as well, quite nicely. There is quite a lot of storage spage enough to last me for over amonth in the freezer alone. Those of you with families may need...

Hotpoint Fridge/Freezer FFS90

Advantages: Nice and big
Disadvantages: Faulty thermostat

...Once we finally got this new model, which we had to wait over two months for, we found it really nice as it was nice and big, bigger than all the other fridge/freezer that we had seen. We thought that this machine was going to last us quite a few years. All you have to do is plug it in and just get on with your life. We have now had this fridge/freezer for 16 months. We had the engineer back within the first year 5 times as the thing stopped working, then the fridge started to thaw out and then started freezing, yes the fridge. We put a thermometer in there to check the fridge, and it went up to 10degrees C and down to -3 degrees C. We have now had the engineer out so many times now and we have lost count. We want either a new fridge or our money back. Hotpoint have said that if we pay another £198 we could have another one to...

Review of Hotpoint FFS90 Frost Free Fridge Freezer

American Fridge Features - British Style Fridge

Advantages: Drinks Dispenser, Tall, Spacious, Sturdy repositionable compartments
Disadvantages: Drinks dispenser does not have filter, water line-in like American Fridges

...***** Note: If you do not absolutely require a water/drinks dispenser in your fridge, this is not necessarilly the product to be looking at due to price premium for the dispenser ***** I'm an American living in London and recently purchased a home in Surrey. I needed a fridge and apparently an appliance re-education to go with it. I owned a 21'cuft Side-by-Side fridge with drinks dispenser in the USA and looked for something similar in England. I shopped at John Lewis Sloane Square and looked at what they call 'American Style side by side' Fridge/Freezers. I found these to be either small or extraordinarilly expensive at £750 pounds and up. My shopping criteria: * Price preferably £550 and lower * TALL (no college fridges please!!) * Color: WHITE * Fridge / fridge-freezer...

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 which I must admit I hardly used. The fridge 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...
