I've owned a Smeg for 8 years. It has a really bad reputation (door seals going, compressor packing up, style over substance basically), but my one is still running!
Still, if you've got the room and going to blow a grand on a Smeg, you could always go for a big American Maytag with chilled water and ice on tap. thats the one I wil buy when my Smeg finally packs up:

"As far as I can tell this is THE most boring purchase Ive ever researched but nonetheless I thought I'd do the research just the same as other purchases just in case I miss out getting a bargain."
Buying carpet is the most boring purchase you will ever need to research...

Our BEKO does alright...so far. I like the fridge section is above the freezer section, Though wish the freezer bit was larger. I can't recall the last time I saw a non frost-free fridge. They still make them like that?

OK, seriously, make sure you a fridge/freezer that has two compressors. Most have just one compressor which means that a single fault affects BOTH fridge and freezer. Twin compressors means that a single failure only affects EITHER the fridge OR the freezer, not both. You need to look hard for these machines, but they can be found. The blokes in the shops think you're nuts because most people look at the front and inside of fridge/freezers. I am only interested in looking round the back to see if there's two compressors or not!
Secondly, Leibherr and Miele are the same thing. Liebherr supply Miele but because almost nobody has heard of Liebherr, they cost a lot less. We have Liebherr fridge and freezer (seperate units) and can solidly recommend them. The fridge thermostat failed a week out of the warranty period and Liebherr refused the goodwill claim. However, a local fridge bloke fixed it for me for about £25 with a generic off the shelf fridge thermostat, so no problem really. Definitely seriously consider Liebherr.
By the way, their main line of business is making cranes! HTH.

in my experience size, price, efficiency and manufacturer discard most. leaving 3 options. of those 1 won't be in stock, another will only be available as ex-display leaving the third as the one you take home.

And when you have halof of an ox and two dead pigs in your freezer and the power goes down? I guess UPS will do the trick? Otherwise you stand to lose a lot of money. We get lots of outages here.

The best price I found which met the specs was from a small Asian shop were I could negotiate with the owner, and delivery was free.
