Bit of a long shot but never mind
Our fridge is kaput Our freezer is going to go bust soon too. How crap (especially as Christmas is 5 weeks away!) We are planning a fridge freezer as it will help maximize space, cheaper than built in units etc etc.
So, has anyone got any recommendations? Or makes/models to avoid like the plague? Any insight would be appreciated

Frost free would definitely be a bonus for us. Hate defrosting the freezer :grump:
And as nice as it looks, I think we would want something that is 50% fridge, 50% freezer, or a slightly bigger freezer. My mum did suggest a whirlpool though.
RubberSkin, it's funny you saying that about the Beko as someone else said the same thing. Think I shall avoid them
Won't ya chips get soggy ?
anyway worth noting the energy rating on these things, the savings can add up a lot over time.
My Mums freezer has gone shitty, Currently looks like a certain scene from the titanic when you walk in the kitchen. Eskimo's would have a Field day in there at the moment.
Definately get a Frost free!!
Good as tbh.
Mine makes a lot of noise even though it is level and defrosted quite often .All the compartment doors broke off the minute the guarantee ran out
It's taller than I am, its mahoosive, and it was quite cheap too, only about £270.
Makes to buy: Bosch, Hoover, Samsung, Smeg, Hotpoint, Zanussi, Whirlpool. But if I was to pick one, it'd be Bosch without a doubt (Smeg too, but they're really expensive).
Cheap and cheerful: Beko, Candy, Indesit. Indesit are probably your best bet out of those.
Having said that, our fridge is by Belling who I think are pretty decent. It's one of those built in one's though.

Those blue handles on the freezer drawers pull out, and are ice cube trays
Thing with Bosch is that, although their products are top notch, their after sales stuff is rubbish. We had a problem with our dishwasher and we were thrown from pillar to post and I ended up with my teacher / angry hat on and got very annoyed at lack of communication. It sort of put me off Bosch.
Smeg is nice but waaaaay out of our price range. At the moment we have seen a Hotpoint and a Siemens one that we really liked. But this is just initial looks!
