We bought a Bosch. Tried looking for model number but cant see it. Quite a large fridge freezer, was significantly cheaper than the other larger FFers, but we have been more than happy with it. My only complaint would be the wierd sounds it makes, but i think i've got used to them and dont hear them/notice them anymore, they are completely normal apparently

Don't entertain a Samsung, we had the one we bought tested and tested and tested and tested some more. We were treated like idiots until a telegraph cucumber froze in the veg. compartment. Yep I told them where they could shove it. We took delivery of a new fridge the very next day. Not the fridge but the lack of service, turned me into Trash, lol. I was not very quiet about it, as the problems started day one and continued on for about six weeks. We did not get a replacement, we opted to get another make.

We also bought a Bosch because it had the smallest freezer and the biggest fridge as we also have a chest freezer so the freezer in the house is only used for leftovers and open bags of frozen veg.I haven't noticed it making any strange noises though and my mum had one for about 20 years with no problems at all.It's this one but ours is white.I didn't want a side-by-side because the space we have isn't big enough and also because the width of the fridge is too narrow for a decent sized platter, etc.
I thought we were going to have to get a new FF, as freezer just wasn't freezing. I gave it a reeeeally good defrost and clean and it is working fine again! :) We have friends who bought a FF and were offered a great price on a white one.they didn't really want white as it didn't match their kitchen but didn't want to turn down a great bargain. So what they did is buy two glass mirror panels to fit the door size and stuck them to the doors. It looks amazing! I never noticed it until pointed out, but it reflects the room, appearing to make it bigger, and is much smarter than white or stainless steel (IMO). Just something to think about :)

Many thanks, this one is a Bosch - 17 years old and was brought from the UK.It will probably be replaced by another Bosch but FFs are something I never think to look at (until I need one!) and wondered if anyone had other recommendations.
The glass mirror panels is a fantastic idea unicstudent.

We have the same, works well but I find the shelves really flimsy and annoying.Love the ice on hand all the time though and the vege drawer.

We have the same. Had it for about 10 years with no problems at all. Would buy another mitsubishi if we needed a new one.

nfh - the vegie drawer is great, it is huge and keeps veges really well. Ours also has a chiller drawer (inside the fridge, not seperate) and that is great for any extra veges, trifles, ham etc.

Thank you biggles - I will definitely go and have a look at that.

We have the 3 drawer mitzi 415 as well and would definitely advise going to that size as well. We are only 2 people and fill it up quite easily.The bottom freezer is token size really ,, to keep thing readily at hand. and we also have a huge upright freezer.

You have a 7 year consumer guarantee. If an appliance stuffs out in the 7 year period, and the manufacturers cannot supply a part, they have to replace your appliance. It was this way, just unsure if things have changed in the last year. Pity you didn't have a frozen telegraph cucumber, the fellow I dealt with was not amused and dealt to me with a knew fridge to be delivered the next day. The other customers had a giggle.
