Anyone bought one of the Retro SMEG fridges? Mrs fancies one but not convinced myself. Anyone have one, any thoughts good or bad?

Not a good idea. Everyone we talked to said they weren't a good buy.
We have a sort of retro style miele. Very good buy.

I used to have one, people would say "wow you've got a smeg fridge". I would say "yes". So thats about the best thrill you will get from spending nearly a grand on a fridge. The freezer is small and mine didn't have a drain chute so was a real nightmare to defrost (and it needed it reguarly) the doors are really thick, so as my kitchen was small you couldn't open the doors fully either. big disapointment really. it looked cool, but in the end its just a fridge, I'd rather spend the money on shiney bike bits and pretend that they make me faster/smoother/more niche. my new fridge freezer is loads bigger, has those freezer drawers you can open like a chest of drawers (no freezer door) a fun beer can dispenser rack and only cost £450. ,matches my toaster too.

They may look good but are very inefficient

For a boring alternative - not as huge as an American style fridge, but bigger than normal...
