American style fridge freezer.
 

Need to replace my Samsung which doesn,t get a good review as regards reliability, although mine lasted 5 years. Any suggestions? Steve.

Siemens all the way. I love mine.

You trying to say that's good???? It should just be run in by then. A good 15 year life is what you should get, at the very least. (Unless of course the wife decides to redecorate and the colour no longer "suits" ...).

You're right, they are expensive, but too small surely?

Never seen a big/American style one.

Thanks to everyone for the replys. Steve:thumb:.

Just bought a Panasonic http://intelligent-living.panasonic....s/nr-b53v1.php

Most energy efficient American Style fridge/freezer you can buy.

They've only just started selling domestic goods in Europe but apparently we'll respected in Asia so taking a bit of a risk as there aren't any historical reviews (unlike those for Samsungs which completely put me off!)

Pleased with it so far :)

Thanks Coffin Dodger, I,ll have a look at the Panasonic. Steve:thumb:.

We are about to buy a Panasonic as well. Bit nervy as their washing machines don't get great reviews for reliability. We figure less moving parts in a fridge.

You'd be surpised at the amount of parts there are to go wrong in a modern frost-free fridge freezer;

Evaporator fan(s)
Condensor fan
Motorised damper/airflow flaps
Defrost heating elements
Compressor (sometimes two)
Starter/run unit for the compressor
Starting capacitor
Thermocouples/thermistors
Control panel
Control circuits

etc.

Thing is Panansonic do make pretty good air conditioners, so the fridges/freezers should be ok as they share similar technology.

Thank,s Ali. Steve.:thumb:
