Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My 9 yr old Bosch fridge/freezer is on its last legs . The insulation between the freezer and the fridge has gone (and is unfixable) and the compressor has gone too . Not worth fixing apparently. Anyone bought one recently? Any recommendations? I can wait a few days so can buy off the internet if I can find a bargain. Any good websites would be useful too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I bought a separate fridge and freezer last year when I had my kitchen extended. I bought a lovely under counter Beko larder fridge from Argos (you get more shelves from Argos ) and a Whirlpool under counter freezer. I think the fridge was around £130 and the freezer was around £160, I got free delivery on the freezer as it was from Currys and there was a discount code on moneysavingexpert. To be honest, the freezer has four drawers and I should have had the one with 3. However, both together run at half the electric of my 14 year old fridge/freezer, and they are both great. I looked at the own brand Currys and Comet fridges andfreezers instore, both brands were shoddy on the inside, especially the freezers, so do go round and look at some. I was so pleased with the Beko, I bought their cooker as well, twin oven ceramic hob less than £350 I love looking at fridges and freezers, don't know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Can't help really, my fridge freezer is ancient but refuses to die If I had the money I would buy one of those Smeg American style fridge freezers but they are mega expensive even off the internet.

Space Chick Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've got a Whirlpool American fridge freezer which I love - although a friend has had loads of problems with hers My sister has a Beko, and she thinks its great, its got a groovy door handle aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I got my last one from a graded appliances website - brill delivery and nearly £200 off the RRP. Never did find the supposed dent. It's a zanussi and has been fine, but I have nothing special to say about them. Our Whirlpool lasted for ten years and then we gave it to our neighbours who still have it two years down the line.

bluekarin Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have a Samsung American style fridge freezer. I've had it fixed twice in three years as it stopped cooling and the fan was making a horrible noise. *touch wood* its all okay now - the last repair man made an adjustment to the hole where the water drips through as it was too small and newer models have a larger hole. My sister has one too, but hers is fine, so I guess it depends if it was a Friday afternoon shift that made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've ordered another Bosch. The last one was pretty good and I can hopefully use some of the parts from the old one as spares .

Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I recently used co op on line to buy a miele dishwasher(brill pricing v pleased best delivery) worth a look for what you are looking for But the last freezer I bought was 10 years ago a larder one(Ilooked at Bosch) and got a cheapy one from Iceland and touch wood still going strong. It had more cubic feet space than the largest Bosch upright. I have a seperate larder fridge and seperate full uprigh freezer. its a kyoto or some unknown make! Good luck I have had expensive brands and these were both dirt cheap and no probs indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
