Fridge freezer - Economical

I have had a very very noisy Indesit fridge freezer for almost 10 years, getting increasingly nosier and more unstable with it's temp as time goes on. In fact, during the recent heatwave it caused a huge spike in the electric bill as the fridge tried to cope with the outside temp.

So I am looking to replace this with something 50/50 but NOT Indesit as I don't trust their quality. Even more confusing are the new European (I thought we were supposed to be out of Europe) energy ratings which are ridiculous. What happened to the good old A+ ratings ? 

Anyway, I am willing to pay up to around £400 for a decent quality, quiet, frost free model but there are so many out there. Would I be right in thinking AO are the best deals at the moment ? Any brand names to steer clear from etc would be appreciated. Thanks

    Have a look at AO outlet if your wanting to spend £400 you can then get a better brand as they are customer returns. I have brought multiple appliances from them now. I would recommend personally Bosch/Zanussi/AEG

    Thanks but wouldn't buying a return open yourself up for possible technical problems ?
