Fridge Freezers – Who to go for and to avoid?

Over at DIYBanter.com, jamma-plusser is in the market for a new fridge freezer and looking at buying an Indesit. However, he’s uncertain if they’re a brand to be avoided so has asked for other suggestions.

Donwill found himself in a similar situation a year ago and following a friend’s recommendation puchased a Miele, while Rod also bought a Miele freezer and Bosch fridge a year ago and describes the Bosch as “…ok but somehow doesn’t seem quite so good.”. Tim S goes a step further and calls his Miele fridge “…the dog’s gonads.” and believes it keeps his fruit and veg fresher for “noticeably longer” reducing his family’s food wastage by 10%.

Have you noticed any improvement in the shelf-life of your perishables aftering buying a new fridge compared to your old appliance? Are expensive appliances more energy-efficient than their cheaper rivals? Why not leave a comment in the forum.
