Job of the day

[Michael Parnham]

What a coincidence my first job was defrost the freezer too.
I'm going to buy a new fridge freezer, this one we have is driving me mad. Probably costing me too

Next is to help the missus with some washing. With multiple changes of clothes each day it gets to be a daily chore.
I'm going to buy a new washing machine too. The old one is just a plastic contraption the rotates the washing in huge quantities of water. Talk about old fashioned.
My wife rinses and wrings by hand before putting into the spinner I bought her.
Seems everyone does the same.
Not me. I'm off to buy an automatic tomorrow.
Before anyone tells me how expensive they are here.....I already know. But cheaper to run and saves time too.

I haven't been fishing for ages

Buy a SMEG Peter, hardly uses any electric dead silent and a 20 year warranty!

Michael, I saw a SMEG fridge/freezer in S&R Shopping.
Not sure exactly which model, but it was big bold and obscenely expensive at P182000
It had all the whistles and bells, but didn't score well on running costs due to the higher power.
Only 12 months warranty

I have my eye on a Samsung model at a much more modest price of P22000
It has a special compartment to guard against shortish power outages and the costs and efficiency ratings are excellent. Inverter technology and a full 5 years warranty.

I do like Italian styling but there's a limit on how much I'll pay for style against practical performance.

Maybe SMEG is cheaper in UK

We always had Miele appliances before. Not what you'd call stylish but old fashioned German durability
