Advantages: Great Looker

Disadvantages: Great but cheaper for same spec out there

Since I have started writing reviews on the contents of my kitchen I would like to follow up by telling you about my SMEG fridge freezer yes the names funny but the fridge freezer is a serious piece of equipment that I would never be without even though it cost my mum as a house warming present over £1700 well she would not buy me any other brand as she swears by SMEG and we have always had this brand in my family home. I know what you are all thinking why spend so much on a fridge freezer well the truth is if it had not been bought for me then I would never be able to afford it. Before I talk about the fridge freezer here are the specifications for comparison.

The SMEG is very stylish foremost and is designed in a shiny black finish which can be a bit of a nightmare to keep clean what with little finger prints but well worth a good scrub when it is gleaming in the kitchen. It has a display of lights at the top which indicate the status of both the fridge and freezer and a warning light should a fault develop which in the 9 months that I have had it has never happened. Next on the visual side are the beautiful pull handles which actually lock the doors shut until operated which is great as most fridge freezers are shut purely by suction.

Now we move to the inside, the fridge is very spacious indeed and much wider than your normal fridge with four shelves which are adjustable and four door trays as well as a built in wine rack. The shelves are made of very tough glass and the inside of the fridge is white and very easy to clean down when it gets a little grubby. All the shelves and trays come out completely for ease of cleaning. There is also an egg tray and internal light which turns on when you open the door.

Now further down to the freezer which has two decent sized drawers with a shelf to store the supplied ice cube trays. It maintains the correct temperature constantly and even has a fast freeze setting for when you first add food that needs freezing off. It doe’s not however have an auto defrost and is not frost free so be prepared for a bit of hard work defrosting it but in the 9 months I have had it I have only had to do this once. Overall I would recommend this fridge freezer to anybody considering buying one but if you don’t have the money to spend on this fridge freezer in my opinion there are many more out there that meet the same standard but at half the price if not less. The fridge freezer is A rated for energy consumption so economical on the electricity bill.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review and look forward to your comments.
