Fridge freezer packed up this morning :mad: Well, when I say packed up, read went topsy-turvey = my ice cream is liquid and my milk is solid.

It's Hotpoint and it's getting on for a 9 years old, so I imagine it will be impossible to get it fixed, so I'm browsing the web for a replacement. We don't really need a fridge-freezer anymore, a tall fridge would be far more handy.

The price of the Miele is eyewatering, but SIL has had hers for 20 years so over that period £900 isn't so bad. I really like the Samsung too though, and it's £150 cheaper.

Has anyone got one of these brands and are they definitely worth the extra spend (or has my SIL gotten VERY lucky???)

    I have a Miele freezer (left in hosue when we moved in) and I'd guessed it to be 15+ years old. It still works perfectly. We also had a fridge left over too which also worked perfectly - If I had the cash to outlay I'd certainly go Miele. I do have their hoover which has a 10 year parts and labour warranty. I can't see many other companies offering that!

    Miele. Every time.
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Thanks for the responses guys. It's pretty hard to resist the Miele with all these positive endorsements!

    Now to convince my OH that £982 is a reasonable amount to spend on a fridge.....

    One dose of food poisoning from the ruined food you have and £982 will seem a very good price to him ;0)

    Miele every time.

    If the price difference is only £150 to Samsung its even more of a no brainer.

    We've had our Miele for just under a year and it's great!

    Had a Samsung fridge for 4 years without a problem, had a Miele fridge too for 8 years and had a few problems with it, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Although the fridge light doesn't come on anymore when you open the door, which is annoying.

    I have a 6 year old miele freezer and have ordered a miele fridge for my new kitchen. They are the best brand but yes expensive, however I am expecting them to last a long time
