Good buy?

I just bought a fridge/freezer from the shop that my neighbour recommended me. Apparently, the owner said from his years of experience, he won't go for LG and certainly not Samsung. The reason - not durable. Even though I really like the LG model which has a water dispenser, a good internal layout and looks really nice, I decided against buying it since 1. it's not recommended by the seller and 2. the capacity is not very big. This is what I have bought.

An Electrolux, a make I didn't look at before since I always only associate it with vacuum cleaners. For slightly more than the LG model, I get a very big fridge space and a slightly smaller freezer. It has a cool Drink Express Chiller which chills canned drinks or wine quickly with just a push of a button. Furthermore, the body is in stainless steel, Adrian's requirement. Though the volume is much bigger than the LG one, it's engergy consumption level is just a little more.

The average retail price is about £550. I managed to get it for £390 including free delivery. I'll certainly recommend friends to this shop as the owner is really helpful and friendly. I rang him many times to check several models and he wasn't the least bothered by it. Two thumbs up for service!

So glad another task is completed. The more I looked, the more confused and undecided I became. I hope the fridge will serve my family well.
