You need to opt for one that suits your needs.
I have looked at a few Double Fridge/Freezers, but none of the freezers would be big enough for me, so I will opt for separate Tall fridge and Tale freezer, I quite like an Aeg pair I have seen.

thanks for that bit to expensive, is the extra space worth the money though, maybe i will have to save a bit more.
Regards to space fridge big as possible with a good layout, freezer not to bothered as long as a bag of chips fits in!

Its got super skinny walls (new tech by Samsung) so you get more inside space.

There are three BIG drawers down below, I keep veg in one, salad in another & fruit in another. My old fridge (a Samsung US style one, I had trouble getting everything in, I have no problems with this.

The freezer is much bigger too, most US ones have not-great freezers.

The water & ice dispencer is really snazzy.
We like a jug of water on our table with dinner & most of them you can fit a glass, but not a jug under, so you tilt it & it some dribbles down the side:mad: You can get a tall jug under this:D

I don't know which to recommend but I would advise against a Whirlpool. I have an american style Whirlpool one is rubbish...we've had loads of problems with it, some of which Whirlpool have never managed to resolve. Next time it breaks, I'm binning it and getting a new one (it's about 6 years old) of another brand. A colleague also had one and had loads of problems with hers too. She has a Samsung now and so far no problems but she hasn't had it very long so maybe too soon to give a true opinion.

I got mine from Littlewoods, there was a code on here;)

I bought the extended warranty too.

You will need it nearish a cold water copper pipe, if you don't have one near, you will need to extend yours from the sink. They come with a plastic flexible tube, its a few meters long.

Its the digs gonards of the sub 2 grand models. There are better makes, but they are silly money.

Did I mention it has a special filter or air supply that makes food stay fresher longer;)

Its the snazzied model (of the affordable ones) on the market:D

When you open the fridge door the light comes on slowly, it brightens as you open, its really snazzy.

The ice cubes are a nice shape too, like mini bagettes:D

I got it in silver, but its a dark graphite sort of silver.
