    I wouldn't be too bothered about getting insurance on a fridge, maybe on a washing machine or dishwasher with lots of moving parts that take quite a battering on a regular basis.

    Assuming then your budget is up to £250 then there a few options to consider

    Frost Free:

    I don't know about Beko as a make, but you can get a frost free fridge freezer for £231.90 including delivery. I had a dishwasher from Co-Op online and I was very impressed with their delivery.

    From Appliances online you can get a Baumatic frost free on for £249 with two year warranty.

    Not Frost Free:

    A Bosch fridge freezer with two year warranty and free delivery for £244.89. We've had a Bosch fridge for 9 years now and it's still going strong (well until I get home tonight and it has died). Our fridge/freezer is frost free, but Bosch are a good make and we have been impressed with all our Bosch white goods

    If you are using an 'unknown' website pay by credit card then worst case scenario you can get your card provider to do a charge back if the goods are not delivered.

    One final option is do not discount your local independent appliance store. Have a look there and see if there is anything close to your price range, check online for cheaper prices then print out cheapest and see if your local dealer will match the price.

    Frost free all the way

    Frost whilst do sometime loose a little extra space for fan (my two freezers arent noisy) you can because the freezer doesn't chock up with ice.

    No defrosting ever, saves hours of no freezer in action
