Soldato
Guys, I've shortlisted 3 fridge freezers in my price range up to £400 which I'll talk about in a second.
About delivering a fridge freezer.
The house has a shared hall and then my door which opens into my own hallway of the flat I own.
I've been doing some measuring and it's going to be tricky getting a fridge freezer down my narrow hallway, so the maximum width of a fridge can only be 60cm. In fact I think it'll need to be manoeuvred unboxed which is a bit of a worry as there'll hardly be any space either side. I think it'll first have to come through the sash window of my front room as it will be easier to get it into my hall than from the shared hall.
In order to get it into my hall (before it gets carried down to my kitchen), there's no way it can be tipped horizontally as there's no room to turn it. So the delivery people will have to do that bit while it's upright. It'll just be 2 or 3 feet through the door of my front room into the hall. I think I should be able to avoid removing the front room door. And then they can tip it for the rest of the move. Do you think they'll be ok with that?
Anyway, I saw a Grundig fridge freezer which I like in brushed steel. It comes with a 5 year guarantee which is good. And it has handles which I prefer over integrated grips. It's just more satisfying pulling on handles. But it doesn't have open door alarm or fast freezer function which would be nice functions to have, especially open door alarm. Anyone here think I should or shouldn't be too bothered about those?
The other two fridges are by Hisense and Kenwood.
Both have integrated grips which is a shame. However,
Kenwood has open door alarm, fast freeze, digital temp control and only 1 year guarantee £330 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/house...50-50-fridge-freezer-silver-10175595-pdt.html
Hisense has open door alarm and temperature alarm, fast freeze, digital temp control and 2 year guarantee £350 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/house...stainless-steel-10178380-pdt.html#srcid=11026
Grundig is the smallest and slightly easier to deliver through my hall. No alarms or fast freeze function, basic wheel for adjusting temp but 5 year guarantee and does have handles. And on this one they take away my old fridge for free. £350

I just can't decide which one, lol.
