omariqy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thinking of getting one. Prices range from £500 to £2,000. I have no idea what is good and what is not. My budget is £1,200 but I have no idea where to start. Space and reliability are probably the most important things. Anyone got any experience of them and willing to share their knowledge?!

villa4europe Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The only thing I can really remember from shopping round for mine is they still have surprisingly small freezer capacity, the majority of them were no good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah noticed that too. I do really want a big freezer. Whole point of getting one of these is more storage surely?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You can get a full height larder fridge and full height larder freezer for under a grand. That would give you 1200mm instead of the 900mm for an AFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Nice, however in the last 3 months two work colleagues have had a Samsung American Freezer break with the same issue and been declared beyond economic repair by their insurance company. Both paid nearly £2000 and were offered around £800 to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited a local currys at the weekend and actually came to the same conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 My in-laws have one, it's surprisingly small inside considering how big it is plus it makes a right racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the net capacity compared to a normal fridge freezer and although you would expect them to have more given their size, they do have much more capacity when compared to the normal type.
