I am looking to replace our fridge freezer with either a fridge only, or fridge with an icebox. I would like one that is a standard size, not ultra tall and have about £200-300 to allow. I am hoping to buy it on interest-free terms as I don’t/won’t pay interest charges 8)
I have had a look online but there seems to be so many makes and the reviews are so varied 😡

Hi
There is no such thing as standard size I’m afraid. If you can post up the width and ideal height you have available I’ll see what I can come up with.
As for interest free credit it’s usually the two big C’s that offer this from time to time. Currently they are both offering free next day delivery at the moment along with cheaper prices. If you want low rate credit then I would ask your bank manager.
HTH 🙂

There’s no such thing as interest free credit either. 😉
Companies still have to pay it and it’s wrapped up in the price, you just don’t see it is all and it allows the notion of free credit.

Re: Advice on New Fridge
For some strange reason I didn’t get any notification of your replies. Never mind I am back now :rolls:
HTH: The sizes are approx 47″ height and 27″ width.
K: Can you elaborate? Surely if an item is the same price whether it be pay for all at once or spread over the year interest free, then it can’t be wrapped up in the interest free price? Or are you saying the person who is paying outright is being penalised for those who are purchasing interest free :eeek:

That is exactly what I’m saying.

Re: Advice on New Fridge
So if the price is going to be whatever it is because of that, one might as well spread the cost interest free? You consider buying a car for £8,000 but you know you haven’t go the money to buy it outright. You have the option of still buying it for £8.000 interest free at a £1,000 a month. I know what I would do!
Re: Advice on New Fridge
I have looked around and because of my smaller sizes required it looks like it is down to the Frigidaire FRE196AS (638046); the Liebherr-CUP 2221; and the unseen Beko CDA540.
Typical of me it was the most expensive the Liebherr that caught my eye in the local family owned “Domestics” shop, but I haven’t seen the Beko and seem to recall that they didn’t have the best name. The guy in the shop said there was a problem a few years back with some frost free models but he hasn’t seen any problems with the ones they have sold. Of course I suppose anybody could say that to get a sale, especially the smaller companies trying to compete sadly.
As I haven’t had any of these brand names before I would be glad of any further advise if anyone has any!
Re: Advice on New Fridge
Hi
Beko in their price range are okay but not the best brand as for Frigidaire, I wouldn’t go there.
If it were me I would go straight for the Liebherr as they are the best.
