Kitchen Appliances

My upright freezer in the kitchen has been playing up for some time, and it looks like I am going to have to replace it.

There are so many makes and models and I wondered if anyone has any recommendations on reliable, trustworth makes, and those you wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Any thoughts would be apprreciated please.

When we returned from Italy at the end of October 1997, V bought a self-defrosting Bosch fridge/freezer that's still going strong today. (Having just said that, it might just pack up tomorrow )

I have a Beko fridge freezer, which was refurbished and cheap because of it. Its been going for 2 years now, no problems. It's self defrosting.

That's interesting, because it was Bosch I've been looking at today Percy. Thank you.

Thanks Pixie.
Some of these appliances are so expensive, aren't they.

Re: Kitchen Appliances

FWIW we have an American type fridge freezer. One with the cooler and ice timer in the door. I think we have had it for about 10 years. It's a Samsung. A big beast. No problems.
We also have a Hotpoint fridge freezer as part of the suite of appliances. Again, no problems. Other than one bulb failure.

Re: Kitchen Appliances

This is not a recommendation, but an observation. I have a Hotpoint freezer in the workshop that used to be in a previous home. It was bought sometime during 1990 and is still working as efficiently as it did on day one after initial freeze-down.

I did check Hotpoint LD, but I believe they were taken over by Indesit a few years ago.

Yours has certainly done extra well, which makes me wonder if the newer ones will ever do as well.

Thanks Besoeker.
I wouldn't want a huge American style freezer just for myself though. Good to know Samsung is doing you well though.
