Integrated Appliances - best brands?

Shop around, there are usually far better deals to be had on appliances by purchasing them separately than through your kitchen supplier.

I think this is wrong.

Years ago this might have been correct advice but now your kitchen supplier should be able to supply Miele, Siemens and Neff at better prices than you can get online.

Not only that you are far better off getting everything from the one supplier as you should get better advice, rather than a faceless internet company that is more expensive.

To be fair. It's not just the Smeg retro fridge which is poor quality. All their appliances are, so at least they are consistant...

I've had an integrated Smeg dishwasher for about 18 months and used this with absolutely no problems. Easy to fit, washes like a dream and fits loads into it as well.

Just as an update, I've gone for the Siemens integrated fridge and dishwasher. The seperate fridge freezer is now my big decision! Not integrated, but the small fridge just isn't big enough for us so need the extra space plus a freezer, so going for stand alone unit. Want a 50/50 split approx so any ideas welcome, don't mind looks as it is hidden in utility, entry level units also don't mind the brand as long as it is going to last.... Any help appreciated....
