Can anyone recommend a particular good reliable brand for an American
Style double fridge? I have been looking at Admiral and Samsung.

TIA

We have had a Samsung for about 5 years, only 1 problem with the
defrost heater, quite inexpensive to repair parts were about £35. we
bought the model with a cold water feature ,never use it.You may have
to remove the fridge doors to get it into place, again quite easy to
do.

Our Whirlpool has been OK, a little noisy but I think they all are.

We've had a Samsung for about 4 years - the ice maker and cool water are
great. No problems, although I'd like a fridge that has an alarm for
when the circuit trips out as it did the other day - no-one noticed for
4 hours.

Actually, on reflection it has a really dumb design feature. There are
digital displays showing temperatures for both the freezer and the
fridge but these are the temperatures that are set, rather than the
actual temperature. If the temp goes out of limits I think something
flashes and an alarm sounds - but it would have been relatively easy to
display measured temp (averaged over a period of time) as well as set
temp. If I were buying again I would look for this capability.

Another minor niggle is that things at the top of the fridge section can
freeze because it seems to work by blowing air from the freezer into the
fridge - but I assume they all work that way.

Are these now cheaper than 2x UK ones side by side?

This would cause a flood of complaints and concerns as temps rise
significantly at times, hence why they didnt do it.

We've had a whirlpool for the past year have been very pleased with it.
Niggles : every now and again it's noisy. It tends to freeze stuff in
the bottom fridge compartment. We use the water dispenser daily and had
to replace the filter after 9 months @ £40. No problems with ice maker.
I like the alarms on it - very handy with a 5 year old who pushes
buttons from time to time !
