Positive stories, integrated fridge freezers

[Leobynature]

I have just renovated my house and went for an integrated fridge freezer, cooker and dishwasher. All fit into standard size cupboards. I have a freestanding washer dryer. I liked the sleekness of this design especially as the house is now open plan. I also dislike American fridge freezers.
Anyway everyone is now reporting their horror stories with integrated appliances and Im desperate for positive stories?

Nothings ever gone wrong with any fridge freezer or dishwasher in the last 3 houses. Had to change one oven as it was old and too difficult to clean. Undid a couple of screws, slid it out and unplugged it from the back of the wall and plaged the new one in we got from B&Q. Didn’t need to get anyone in. I imagine a fridge would be just as easy to change except you would need to refit the decor door front.Nothing else to report.

I have two built in Leibherr fridges and a separate feeezer. All are around 18 years old and have given perfect service. Don’t buy a rock bottom make, though. What do you think will go wrong?

They are more expensive than freestanding ones, so yes they will cost more to replace when you need to. But so far ours have been similar longevity-wise.

What are the horror stories? Our fridge freezer and dishwasher are integrated and I am very happy with how they look and work.
I am not a fan of American fridges either. I know they are spacious but they are so, kind of, in your face!

Same here. Have had integrated f/f, dishwasher, ovens etc whenever we've had a new kitchen from about 2005 - 4 different houses / kitchens. Never had a problem.

We've had integrated Fridge Freezers and Dishwashers in every house I have lived in for the last 15 years.

Never had an issue with either.

Well, we did have an issue with the dishwasher in our current house, but that's because the builders plumbed it in wrong. We fixed it and now the water actually flows into it. Marvellous.

We have an integrated washer/dryer in this house which works perfectly. I just leave the cupboard door open if I'm doing a drying cycle otherwise the wood gets hot.

Ours are all fine!! We’ve been integrated for years.
