Hi lemmings!

Moving into a new flat soon and will need to buy both fridge and freezer preferably in one combined unit. Been looking at the side-by-side ones. Anyways Ive got little to no knowledge about fridges and freezers and was wondering if there are any typical “gotchas” to look out for?

I am based on the EU and would prefer to buy from an EU brand too. Any recommendations or tips are plenty welcome!

Thanks as always ☺️

      My washing machine has wifi and an app. I bought it because I read the manual and all networking is disabled by default.

      Otherwise, for all appliances, get ones with the longest warranty, unless there is a significant difference in price.

        A warranty is only as good as the company offering it. I’d opt for a shorter warranty with good customer service
