Recommended fridge freezers

Mine has just packed in so im in the market for a decent frost free one.

Reading online certain brands seem to be problematic, so id like to know which you think are the best buys?

I dont want to spend £500+ ona piece of junk

My mother has just bought a frost free Bosch Exxcel fridge freezer from a local supplier for £449. She already has a Bosch fridge freezer which has been trouble free since she bought it about 2 years ago. Don't ask me why but apparently she wanted another one to sit beside the existing one to double her storage capacity!

I have a separate Bosch fridge and freezer. Each is about 3 years old and again trouble-free.

I bought a hoover fridge freezer for about £330 a few months back, good capacity and has been trouble free.

Last fridge in my flat was a hoover and lasted for 5 years (don't know how much it cost, as it was new when we moved in).

I've always assumed they divide into three groups: cheap, mid-range and top end, and that mid range gives you better reliability, and top end gives you more style and better cosmetics. Mid-range include Bosch, Siemens and Neff and I think those three are really the same make. Top end includes Miele. I suppose you really need a user survey to determine if mid range is more reliable than cheaper ones. There is a Which survey, but I am suspicious of Which after seeing their poor car reviews.

As an aside, I bought an expensive Kenwood Kmix blender, and it is far worse than the cheap one I had. Expensive need not mean better.

depends where its being kept. bosch in the house (looks OK and appears relatively sturdy) and beko for the garage (unheated)

Another generally well regarded brand - Liebherr

The ikea fridge freezer at £199 is excellent value for size and spec and comes with a 5 year warranty.

I have a Liebherr. I "think" they make the Miele ones as well.
