Blomberg refrigeration

Hi. I wondered if anyone had experience - good or bad - of Blomberg refrigeration products? 
Thinking of getting separate built in larder fridge and larder freezer and there don't seem to be too many reviews from people who have had the products for any length of time.

It's owned by Beko ( Arcelik - turkish company trading under name Beko to be precise ) and it's just another rebadged product from usual Turkish suspects ( Vestel and Arcelik/Beko ) . It's nothing seriously wrong  with any of Bloomberg appliances but do not pay extra  over Beko  because it has old german name slapped on it - it is not german and has not been for about 20 years , whatever sales person on the shop floor might tell you . If it cost about the same as Beko - it's OK( in fact if it cost little extra it's OK as they normally offer 5 years warranty ) if it's lot more than Beko - all extra you pay is for a ( not so ) fancy name on the front panel. they are not the best machines by any stretch of imagination, nor they are the worst, for the Beko money they are OK, as long as you don't expect too much from them. If I was forced to have Beko  ( or Bloomberg, Grundig, Leisure, Lamona, Flavel, Elektra Bregenz or any of the smaller kitchen fitters own brands  as they are all the same inside and all made in the same place - you guessed it- Beko ) fridge is probably their best appliance, WM is ok ovens and hobbs not so much.  It's not  Sub Zero , Viking  or even Liebherr quality, then it's not their price tag either   - as long as you pay fair price and you know what you are buying  ... Almost always better than anything Chinese though, Beko or any of their clones over Hisense every time .
