Looking for help in choosing an American style fridge

[snoxu]

I see Admiral/Maytag recommend here for reliable American style freezers, but those brands as far as I know are not available here in Portugal.

What other brands should I be looking at for reliable well built fridges?

Thanks in advance

Hi Snoxu,

What choices do you have?

Too many 😛 Siemens, Samsung, LG, Ariston, Whirlpool, Bosch, AEG, Hoover, etc

I’m going to link maybe 2 Portuguese shops. So you can get an idea of what’s available here. I’ll post in a little while…

Here’s some American style fridges two big Portuguese stores carry:

I’ve been out looking at fridges recently, inside most of them look pretty bland to me. It isn’t easy trying figure out which ones are quality products.

I don’t want to spend a lot. I might ditch my idea of getting an american style fridge and just go for a standard combined fridge…

Okay, this is only my own personal opinon based on what I see and can read there…

Samsung, not the worst, not the best either.

LG, avoid.

Whirlpool, much on a par with Samsung but the spares prices (when you need them) are a total rip off.

Ariston, avoid.

Balay, basically a cheap Bosch/Siemens. 😉

Siemens, pretty decent.

Indesit… avoid like it has some strange disease you really don’t want unless you have suicide in mind.

Hope that helps.
