NOW CLOSED Want one of those American-style fridge freezers?....We need 30 MNers to try a Samsung one!

We have a very exciting product test for you...We've been asked by Samsung to find 30 Mumsnetters to try out their new G-Series American-style fridge freezer (average selling price £1,800) in their home and give feedback on Talk. Everyone who is selected to take part and adds their feedback will get to keep the fridge freezer forever!

This is what Samsung says about the product: "With the new G-Series three door American-style fridge freezer, you will get lots more storage space thanks to thin wall insulation technology. You also get the benefit of some really clever features, all designed to make your life easier. A plumbed dispenser gives you chilled and filtered ice and water on tap, foldable shelves mean you can fit all your food and drink in irrespective of their size, shape, width or breadth, and FreshSafe Vegetable drawers give you the best humidity levels to preserve vitamins and nutrients in any fruits and vegetables you?re storing. Even better is the CoolSelect Pantry which acts as a mini fridge within a fridge. It?s an independently controlled drawer which can be set to three different temperatures, so you can be sure you are storing your food at the right temperature."

There are a number of criteria for taking part in this project - to take part you must:

  • Live in mainland UK
  • Be willing to provide two lots of feedback (once when the fridge freezer has just been delivered and again after a couple of months) which will appear on MN and may be used for marketing by Samsung (they will link to the feedback thread from their website - you can namechange for the feedback if you like)
  • Be available at home for one weekday in the next 2-3 weeks (date to be arranged with Samsung) for delivery
  • Have space, electricity and a cold water supply (for ice and water dispenser) for a fridge freezer this size in your kitchen (or wherever it would live) - click here for more information on dimensions etc

If you are selected to take part, the fridge freezer will be delivered free of charge but Samsung aren't able to remove any old appliances so you would need to arrange for any existing fridge freezer occupying the space to be removed yourself.

You will get to keep the new fridge freezer once the product test is finished - so long as you add at least 2 lots of feedback on Mumsnet. Feedback will focus on overall impressions of the fridge freezer, the flexibility of the storage space inside it, any features you particularly like etc.

If you are interested in taking part please sign up here.

Thanks

Look at alouiseg waiting in the wings for someone to say 'waaah the fucking fridge won't fit' and then she will pounce and say 'MN can I have that spare fridge...' Grin

I wish this had started this week...

I'm currently waiting for dirty works to come and remove my big Whirlpool side by side which decided it no longer wanted to live at 3.40am on Saturday but decided to try and take me out too! Sad

House badly smoked damaged but am lucky to be alive, for those not lucky enough to take part PLEASE have a close look at your fridges and get them checked if you suspect anything dodgy! Check your smoke detectors too while you are at it!

Lecture over, as you were..

WhipMeIndiana · 18/07/2011 13:43

TheRealMBJ · 18/07/2011 16:03

They rang me after five o'clock last week...

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 18/07/2011 16:12

Hi All - Samsung can connect the fridge freezer up when they deliver it but the cold water supply needs to be easily accessible and no further than 4m away - the delivery person won't do any uncovering of water supplies. Hope that makes sense to everyone.
