Review of Zanussi ZX99/5SI Frost Free (Silver) Fridge Freezer by
zlatiko
Advantages: Large, quiet, good use of space,
Disadvantages: Its failed three times since its been hot,
...turning it on again, you see, the problem is mate' these fridge freezers just aren't built to cope with this warm weather we're 'avin" Thanks for that boost of confidence in your products Zanussi!
So, after the waiting period we switched it on and it worked ok for a little while and then when the temperature rose again on saturday...guess what? BEEP -BEEP-BEEP-BLEEDIN' BEEP all weekend, again we couldn't switch off the fridge due to the freezer working and trying to find storage for the food so we had to throw away more perishables and also hold a spontaneous barbque saturday night to clear some of it.... i felt quite full after 10 burgers, 6 sausages, 2 chicken legs etc ;o)
We phoned Zanussi this morning at 9am (opening time) and they said the earliest time they could get anybody out was FRIDAY PM!! After kicking up a fuss they managed...

The god of Fridge-Freezers!
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZNB323W by
yummy.mummy
Advantages: Lots of space and great functions
Disadvantages: Only comes in white -more cleaning!
...compartment with space to store all the vegetables that we buy -we get through alot of vegetables in the week. After comparing many different models my fiance declared that he thought the Zanussi Electrolux ZNB323W would be a good option for us to buy.
Availability and Cost
We bought our fridge-freezer form Sainsburys online website. We choose to shop with Sainsburys as the price was competitive, and we also got nearly 600 Nectar points by buying it from them. Also, their delivery was only £19.99 and for an extra £7.99 they offer a recycling service. This means that Sainsburys will take away your old appliance and recycle it in accordance to WEEE legislation. All electrical goods need to be recycled now and adhere to strict recycling legislation. So this saved us disposing of our old fridge-freezer. For £15.00 if you wish to...

Zanussi ZX99/5W
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZX99/5 by
Lexie001
Advantages: Easy to clean, loads of storage space and looks nice and modern
Disadvantages: nearly thought we wouldn't get it in the kitchen!
...Saturday and will match the Empire Direct price inclduing delivery.
So now we have our ZX99 and because it is quite tall it was a bit of a struggle to get it in the kitchen,so if you live in a flat or have to get it into awkward spaces take that into account.
This is what you get for your money (thanks Zanussi website!)

American Fridge Features - British Style Fridge
Review of Samsung Fridge Freezer SRL3928B by
surreygal
Advantages: Drinks Dispenser, Tall, Spacious, Sturdy repositionable compartments
Disadvantages: Drinks dispenser does not have filter, water line-in like American Fridges
...with a drinks dispenser.
* Freezer must be able to store a frozen pizza
and a large bag of frozen broccoli, comfortably,
and with plenty more room for smaller items
separated preferably in shelves
* Plusses: ability to take a wood front panel
for a built-in look
* A energy rating preferred
* Frost Free
Eventually I happened upon the wonderful Samsung
SRL3928B - at ICELAND. This is also available at a
good price from Argos and other stores, your choice of white or silver. Be sure to look at this exact model and not its replacement which I feel is inferior.
The Fridge met the following Criteria:
* I paid £399 + £15 delivery.
Check : (http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xKW-srl3928b/NS-
1/GS.html) for price comparisons.
* Delivery was within 3 days
* Fridge was WHITE
* Fridge was TALL
* Brocolli and a Pizza fit in one...

A cool white tardis from Zanussi
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZNB343W by
J----
Advantages: Massive capacity, quiet and efficient
Disadvantages: doesn't have fast freeze
...When we replaced our fridge-freezer I was specifically looking for a larger fridge compartment as well as a good sized freezer. I have always been used to, and liked Zanussi as I was brought up with them. My mom swears by them and our first washing machine was a 15 year old Zanussi of hers. Understandably they were one of the makes we looked and after several comparisons we chose this Zanussi ZNB343W.
The price was reasonable everywhere but we got it from Sainsbury for £297.00 in the sale. We used our nectar points to bring the price down further and received almost 600 further points on the purchase.
The Zanussi ZNB343W is a frost free 60/40 fridge-freezer. The frost free freezing system stops ice building up inside the compartment so that you don’t have to defrost the freezer. It also means that ice doesn’t take up space...

Good Family Fridge Freezer
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZENB2720 by
ferrari259
Advantages: frost free, energy saving, spacious
Disadvantages: nothing
...Hi folks,
This is my first written review, so please be gentle.
We have recently purchased our fridge freezer, the Zanussi Zenb, what Zenb means I haven't a clue, but it had to be named something.
As far as Kitchen appliances go, this one does its job perfectly well,
A sleek, white modern item, we picked this one in particular as we specifically wanted the slightly bigger freezer space mainly down to me being a big eater, not so much salad space needed here,
However it does cope well for all the families needs, the full width door shelf easily takes any of your milk size cartons, there is also a door fitted dairy shelf, and egg holder compartment.
The Fridge part also has to full depth adjustable glass shelves and below two separate half depth salad compartments.
The Freezer has three deep full depth shelved baskets...

A fridge/freezer big enough for a family of six
Review of Indesit C239 Fridge Freezer by
bobd
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

Number of Shelves 2
Door Opens Opens Left and Right
Dimensions

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...

Hotpoint Fridge/Freezer FFS90
Review of Hotpoint FFS90 Frost Free Fridge Freezer by
walt2
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...

The fridge that keeps the milk cool
Review of Zanussi ZEL140W by
mumsymary
Advantages: works ok
Disadvantages: ?
...Zanussi ZEL140W
We have 2 fridges in the staffroom at work one is a Zanussi ZEL140W. This fridge is used mainly to store milk for the staff teas and coffee we buy lots on Mondays and this fridge keeps it fresh till Friday.
I must admit I was surprised to notice that one of our fridges was a zanussi product as they are not the cheapest. Zanussi however are a reliable make. Zanussi was founded in 1916 by Antonio Zanussi. In Italy. In the 1980’s zanussi became one of Electrolux’s companies. Electrolux was formed in Stockholm in 1912 and now is the owner of many electrical product companies including Zanussi.
Back to the Zanussi ZEL140W.
I looked on line to see the price and found it unavailable at a lot of sites (perhaps its no longer manufactured. But at empire direct.co.uk I found it for £128 + £34.99 delivery.)
The w...

ZNB4051 Dont disappoint us Zanussi...
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZNB 4051 by
pizza-the-action
Advantages: Huge capacity and VERY quiet.
Disadvantages: Door storage not so good for such a tall applance
...We bought this item a month ago (Feb 07) to replace our Siemens-Bosch appliance as it has one of the largest capacities than most fridge-freezers without going for a full width side-by-side American style unit.
Our first choice was to buy another Bosch as we currently have a dishwasher and washing machine made by them, but the similarly sized (and priced) unit had a smaller interior cubic capacity than the Zanussi.
It was ordered from the Co-op online as they offered a fast delivery service (2 days) which suited us fine. Bearing in mind I could have bought this ZNB4051 from where I work, I opted for the Co-op rather than wait the 10 days my employer was quoting..
They promised to e/mail the day before confirming am or pm delivery which they duly did. The delivery guys were excellent and removed all the packaging from our...
