Re: which SEBO?
In our vacuum cleaner reviews, Sebo vacuum cleaners tend to achieve average to excellent scores for picking up pet hair. They generally score very well for cleaning laminate floors and traditional floorboards – though one model got a poor result for cleaning floorboards.
As well as testing vacuum cleaners in our lab, we also survey thousands of vacuum cleaner owners about any problems or faults they’ve encountered. Find out how reliable Sebo vacuum cleaners are by visiting the vacuum cleaner reliability page of our vac review.
Sebo offers a free five-year parts and labour guarantee for all domestic vacuum cleaners, but to benefit from this you must register your vacuum with Sebo within 30 days of buying it.

I purchased a Whirlpool side by side fridge freezer 3 years ago from Whirlpool direct. 3 months later the fridge started freezing. An engineer called & replaced the diffuser. After the fifth time the diffuser had been replaced over the next 2 years, lots of time wasted on the phone, unanswered letters, fresh food being frozen & having to be thrown away, waiting in for the engineer & being told by Whirlpool that “as the appliance is in full working order at the moment (after the engineer has been & fixed it!), we cannot offer you a replacement” we had had enough. The next time it froze, we arranged for the engineer to come & inspect it but refused to let him fix it. Contacted Whirlpool, who contacted the engineer & eventually got a replacement fridge/freezer, Jan 07.No fridge over Xmas & new year-nightmare! Guess what, we have just had to chuck most of what was in the replacement fridge as it froze. There were even shards of ice in my beer. Well, that was nice actually.
It is 7:15 pm & I am waiting for the engineer to call round to fix this latest problem. (the diffuser was replaced again)
The after sales of Whirlpool has been very poor. Deny deny deny seems to be their anthem. It does not take a rocket scientist to work out that if you have had to change the same part six times, the problem lies somewhere else!
Anyway, the moral of the story is, keep complaining. List and keep detailed accounts of all your calls & copies of letters & if needs be, threaten them with small claims court action, as this seems to be the only language they understand.Trading standards helped & supported us.Re: Beko Frost Free Freezer Iceing Up
One problem with frost free freezers can be failure of the heating element, by the fan, which happened to ours. This heating element usually gets rid of the frost build up after the freezing cycle by melting it off the cooling fins in the fan assembly, where it then drips into a tray and evaporates. If it burns out, then the ice builds up (as it would on the elements in any normal freezer that wasn’t frost free), and over a number of cycles, it prevents the air from circulating, which then ultimately stops the freezer from working.
Turning the freezer off can certainly help, as it will allow the ice build up to melt, and therefore allow the fan to start circulating air again. However, ultimately replacing the heating element is the only real solution – I seem to recall it was about a £30 item with about a £50 charge to replace. Now I know where to look, you could order the part off the internet and replace fairly easily, as I think the heating element is generic to a number of makes and models. In our freezer, (an Admiral side-by-side fridge/freeze), the part was fairly easy to get to from the back of the inside of the freezer (once it had been emptied and the shelves and rear plastic panels removed) and replace.
Re: chiller fridge
I have got a large double door chiller in a shed. I had to raise the roof of the shed because the refrigeration unit is on top of the cabinet. I put in an extractor fan built it’s simpler and cheaper just to leave the door open in the summer if it is running and I only run it when there is a beast in it. I also keep a couple of chest freezers in there and often have teh door open for them. This would probably work if there was enough tubing coiled in the fridge. The way I would regulate it would be to put the power head on a temp controller. You could probably get a used controller cheap. The tubing is the tricky part. Plastic or rubber tubing does not transfer heat well. The only metallic tubing you could use would be titanium, or possibly 316 series stainless. The titanium is the best but most expensive way to go.
