Hi
A bit lost here. My old Bosch did me well for over 20 years. I've given up idea buying second hand. Any help with what I drilled down to below would be much appreciated.
Any feedback welcome.

I'm looking for big freezer space, removable door seals, reversible door and must be automatic defrost and ideally A++ efficiency.

I have never heard much good about Hotpoint and the tumble drier debacle puts me off them but is there really much difference between them and Bosch? Not sure about chiller space, more freezer is much better.

Haier and Samsung don't seem to get good reviews and I really want something that is robust. Although from dishwasher experience new Boschs are worse than old one. So as you can see not sure which way to go. My kitchen is cream so I guess Hotpoint one would be a more elegant fit. Do hope there are fridge geeks out there.

    If you check Which?, you'll find that Hotpoint sits at the very bottom of the reliability table, and Bosch sits at the very top.

    No appliances are as well made as they were a few years back, sadly, but Bosch are still among the best.

    Avoid the John Lewis ones - they're made by Electrolux, they're unreliable according to Which? (I've had one - it had to be replaced by John Lewis with a Bosch).

    I'd have no hesitation in recommending Bosch. Not as good as they once were, but still one of the best on the market.
