We're looking to buy a new Fridge Freezer, frost free preferably, can't be doing with defrosting the freezer and never seem to find the time to do it anyway.

Has anyone bought one recently or can anyone recommend one?

Thank You

We are buying one from Currys at the end of this month. It costs about £329, its silver and frost free. Its a tall one, not sure how I'm going to reach the top shelf but it looks lovely anyway!

Ooh yes, ours, its fab. Its a Daewoo, \link{http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/store/cur_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0311921630.1105809773@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdcadddihijmiicflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=ProductList&category_oid=-19404&search=match&criterion=daewoo\either the second or third of these. Its frost free, fridge is at the top, freezer at the bottom and its, um, really good.

Hurrah - got there in the end

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING BY SAMSUNG. Yes, I know that's in caps - it's that important! Ours was CRAP.

We now have Bosch Exxcel and it's MUCH better.

The saga of our Samsung involved a 7-month-pregnant woman (me), a fridge that never got below 10 degrees, a freezer that never got above minus 30 degrees, John Lewis sending out five engineers (one said to defrost it and let it cool again and it would work - it didn't, one rehung the door (wtf?!) and said it would work - it didn't, one got lost and didn't find our house (it's only been here since 1934...) and another rang our home number, despite being given my mobile so I could ring someone to let him in (I was at work)).

Eventually we got it replaced (John Lewis said they would waive the charge to take our old one away(!) and I stood there and looked heavily pregnant and immovable until they said we didn't have to pay the extra for our new Bosch one too). It arrived, the delivery guys snapped the front off the old one getting it out of the house, then reversed into it with their van(!). The Bosch has been brilliant and I wish we'd had it in the first place.

Phew. That was the short version too

Ours is this one:

Bosch fridge freezer

hunkermunker · 15/01/2005 21:54

Ooh - fifth engineer...in case you were wondering (you weren't) - he arrived two days after our Bosch was delivered, rang my mobile at work and was actually really friendly, even when I told him he was surplus to requirements!

We got a BEKO three years ago, had never heard of it and it was quite cheap so I was a bit sceptical. Never had a moments trouble with it, its fabulous

And don't buy anything by Ariston - our washing machine is Ariston and its always breaking down. It conks that often, we have got quite good at fixing it ourselves

pixel · 15/01/2005 22:40

Oh I loved my Ariston washing machine! We had it in our pub for 10 years working all day every day. It did clothes for 5 people plus loads of bar towels, glass cloths, kitchen cloths etc. Also VERY large curtains, even horse rugs. It even survived a serious fire. We've just passed it on to the new owners looking the worse for wear (scorch marks!) but still in working order.

Don't know what their fridge-freezers are like though. We've just bought a Hotpoint which seems ok so far.

We've got a Candy (frost free) have had it almost 4yrs now and although we're about to replace it it's still in EXCELLENT condition - the only reason we're going to replace is because we need a bigger one - there was only DH, me and 6 month baby then - there's now a big eating 4yr old and a big eating 13 month old (both boys in the house). Probably going to get one of those 'American' style Fridge/Freezers
