SMEG fridge alternatives

7 replies

Mumsnet has saved me from making a very expensive mistake! I was going to buy a SMEG fridge freezer and have been put off by the comments about poor build quality. I am replacing my built in fridge with a stand alone and liked the retro look of the SMEG in cream.

Has anyone bought a similar retro style fridge freezer? I can see there are several - much cheaper - versions on the market and wondered what others thought of them.

Swan do a good imitation one.

I’ve got a Gorenje and it’s lasted 8 years so far, we like it and it’s gorgeous to look at.

I've got Gorenje as well, does the job for 1/2 the price of SMEG.

We had a Beaumatic, that went to Fridge Heaven last week after 25 years.

That’s great news! I was worried they would be cheap knock offs.

Have a swan. It's red and gorgeous but I'm not overly impressed by the quality

Another vote for Gorenje. Looks good and very reasonable price. We’ve been pleased with ours. Had it about 5 years
