Advantages: Looks good

Disadvantages: Dosent last very long

I purchased this fridge freezer with black doors at the cost of £899 from an independent retailer on the high stret. The Black finish looks fantastic although it is a little difficult to keep smear free. You can choose either crushed or cubed ice from
the indoor ice maker, it wasnt something we thought we would use much but it turned out to be a real bonus especially in the summer and at christmas time. The shelf space in the fridge was good but could have done with more room in the freezer.

The appliance worked well for around 9 months when it started to tick very loudly. The retailer sent an engineer out who repaired the problem and again the appliance worked well until a few months ago when the ticking started again. Unfortunatly the retailer was no longer trading so I contacted Whirlpool. Whirlpool have basically told me Tough you should have bought an extended warranty. 900 quid for a fridge freezer to last 2 years is outragous and I will never ever buy another Whirlpool product.

Summary: Terrible customer service from Whirlpool will mean I never buy another appliance from them again.
