Off topic Fridge Freezers
I know it is off topic but as there must be loads of freezing (not this
weather surely? :-) ) people here I wonder if someone can help. I need a bigger freezer than my present fridge freezer has. As there are only 2 of us we do not require a massive fridge, unfortunately all the machines we can find have bigger fridges than freezers, anyone know of a fridge freezer with a smaller fridge than freezer, or at least the same size? TIA John T |

We have a Hotpoint "Mistral" frost-free fridge freezer (try saying that
after a few!) that's about 3 years old. I'm very pleased with it. The fridge and freezer are the same size. If you're anywhere near Reigate in Surrey, a small electrical trading company called Keymex do such things at excellent prices. John Towill wrote in message ...

I'm also in the FF market, 'cos I need to preserve my rhubarb harvest. I'm
considering one of the big Hotpoint Mistrals (e.g. FFA90) or a Bosch KGU32123. These are both frost-free. The Bosch feels much sturdier, but the Hotpoint is a bit bigger (on paper). Some URLs: http://www.boschappliances.co.uk/ http://www.qed-uk.com/cgi-bin/q Edwin Bath. |

TIA John T When we were in this position 5 years ago we just bought ourselves another small freezer, okay if you have the room, and since it's only 3.5 foot high it makes a great work top too. We tried to get a mini chest freezer but couldnt find one to compete on price. Duncan |

As one of the gardener's storage methods, I'm pretty sure fridges aren't off-topic :-) Start he http://www.searchappliance.co.uk/Help/Fridge_guide.htm If you feel like going right over the top and getting a drive-in fridge: http://www.freenet.ltd.uk/products.a...CategoryID=450 I've promised myself that one day I *will* have a fridge that is not only big enough, but that dispenses chilled water and ice-cubes (or, at the flick of a switch, crushed ice) at the front. Maybe crushed ice is off topic. Ah, it's too warm to care, where's my fridge? -- Neil Trotter, Canewdon, UK |

I've also got a Hotpoint Mistral frost free. Mine is a FF72 which I seem to remember is not the biggest in the range. The fridge & freezer look the same size and the freezer has 4 drawers. K |

Bob wrote in message Can't help with the fridge/freezer thing directly but I can recommend Liebherr fridges and freezers, superb quality, most efficient ratings possible, (and they make the fridges and freezers that are sold under the Miele name too). Take a look at their huge range... www.lhg.liebherr.com/us/default.asp Because it's raining (wonderful!!!) I took a look and found the following models all of which are rated at energy efficiency "A". Two are 200cm high 3946 & 3646 and two are 162.5cm high 3046 & 3031. All seem to have equal (outside) measurements to each compartment but due to more insulation in the freezer compartment that is slightly smaller inside. Of course they also do the huge side by side type but again the same problem will occur due to the extra insulation. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |

For the price of a big Liebherr FF (over =A3800) you could get two Bosch =
ones of about the same size. I have no affiliation with Bosch, but this sounds li= ke diminishing returns. Edwin. |

That's not a bad solution - it would be cheaper than buying a fridge freezer, and running costs would not be that large because you could switch it off in spring when you'd eaten enough produce to be able to get the rest in the fridge freezer. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

Take a look at their huge range... www.lhg.liebherr.com/us/default.asp We have had two of their most efficient 6ft tall freezers for a number of years and have nothing but praise for them. Not expensive either considering the quality, but you will probably have to search them out amongst the specialist suppliers like Molesey Refrigeration. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
