Norfrost Freezer - Cheap & Cheerful or Cheap & Nasty?

steady__eddie

I bought one about 5 years ago from a place near me that specialises in "war damaged goods" i.e. cosmetically damaged. There was a full guarantee with it so I took the outer case of and tapped the crease out. A spray can of white paint completed the modification. It worked out at about fifty quid below high street prices and to date has not malfunctioned. I think I'm gonna have to get the spray paint out though shortly.

I'm going to get a Norfrost.

Thanks everyone for your comments - what a great bunch of moneysavers you all are.

..At least I would have done but Currys is now telling me that

"Due to high demand the following item(s) are currently unavailable"

!!!!!!, I should have been quicker!

Now I'm getting a Zanussi ZCF77C for 159 from John Lewis (2 year guarantee and free delivery). It's not as efficient as the Norfrost, I couldn't find another within my price range that even came close to it's Efficiency A.
