Which Fridge/Freezer is best to buy?

ScorpioLady_2

My elderly parents have asked me to research the best buy in full size Fridge/Freezers.
Any ideas please?

Have you tried which? They do an online 30 day trial for £2.99. It used to be free but I think you have to pay now. Just use it to see what their "best Buys" are! It really depends what your parents want. Equal fridge/freezer? Bigger fridge than freezer etc etc

I'm told Samsung arn't worth getting, due to poor after sales service ... parts are v-hard to source in the uk.

I am looking at reliabilty ... I went to the Which website and BEKO scored v-highly ... in the meantime my search continues

It would be gr8 if someone could link in any discount codes for FF's please ... thanks vm!

Under £600 buy a Miele, well built and last forever (German), my Miele washing machine has anyway.

We bought an expensive Hotpoint fridge freezer, was £100 less than the Miele. Moral of this is......Buy the more expensive one, the Hotpoint broke down after 6 months!
