Yes, I can see that. Particularly the size. But we got used to that and find it very useful for the amazing amounts of foods we can stack into it. Maybe we just got lazy.

Re: Kitchen Appliances

Hello
When we had our new kitchen installed about 8 years ago we bought Prima appliances,Fridge Freezer,washing machine,dryer and electric oven.I only just replaced the oven with the same model and washing machine this year.So they lasted about 8 years.I think Prima is made by several manufacturers Hotpoint,Hoover but I'm not too sure .

From the internet.

I must say it is looking like a Bosch is best.

I have got a Bosch washing machine and its the best one ive ever had - and the quietest spin, too.

Thanks very much for everyone's input, much appreciated.

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.
I have a Westinghouse 210 chest freezer which I bought in about 1981 and is still going strong. The only thing wrong with it is that the lid has rust on it which is spreading.

Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Don't think I've ever heard of that make, Bruce, but that's quite amazing if it's done you all these years. Thanks for saying.

Re: Kitchen Appliances

You do have to look these days at how much you can store inside. Even old trusted brands seem to have reduced storage space.
