    Hi

    I’m currently refurbishing my kitchen and am keen to have a brightly coloured retro fridge.

    I understand that both Gorenje and Smeg are popular makes – and the designs are great, however I am keen to find a design which is larger than the average 60cm width. Anyone know if there is such a large, larder, retro fridge available in a bright colour and retro design?

    Its Gorenje that makes them for Smeg so dont pay more for the smeg name if come’s down to choosing between them .

    Ok, gorenje dont make all smegs retro fridges, they use to, they dont now. Whirlpool make some as well now, but both only make the inner cabinet and workings, smeg make the doors and the cladding that go on them. The doors on the smeg are a patented design and are full height, unlike the gorenje. Uf you look at the smeg you will see that the design is far cleaner than the gorenje, that us why the smeg us more money, it is iconic. Put them side by side and the smeg out class’s the gorenje.
    Having said that there is nothing wrong with the gorenje. Good quality fridges.

    That’s really helpful, thank you – does anyone make a larger width retro fridge though, the widest ones I can find are no more than 60 cm.

    You could put a FAB28 and the matching retro freezer side by side
