“Are SMEG fridges any good?”

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the last subject to be discussed on a mountain bike forum would be kitchen appliances, but the members of Singletrack prove this isn’t the case.

DrP likes the looks of a Smeg fridge he’s seen and although he thinks they’re expensive would like to know how they compare to other brands for better or worse. While BudFudlacker comments “surely a fridge is a fridge”, a number of other forum members share their experiences in more detail: Mefster in particular had considered them in the past, but after consulting an appliance expert found that “some of the other brands (including the Miele we went for) were better built. There certainly seemed to be a visible difference.”

Bunnyhop, cinnammon_girl and catshoe all give Miele the thumbs-up, bunnyhop especially commenting “Having done the research, I am really happy with ours. Also got 2 other Miele appliances, no complaints there either.

The prognosis for Smeg ownership doesn’t seem promising as the rest of the discussion demonstrates. If you’ve got any thoughts on the matter why not pop over to the forum and add your comments.
