It's arrived. The lads were very helpful, and took the old one away. Best £15 I'd ever spent (though the fridge-freezer cost a lot more!) I had to leave it two hours before plugging in and I have now got the frozen stuff I kept here put away again. Ed and Pam have a drawer each of my contents, so I will sort that out on Thursday. This has a 2 year guarantee, and then a further 8 on parts.
Now, there's posh! I am actually impressed with it, as it is a lot better designed internally so I have as much room as the old fridge in some ways, only better configured. The 3 drawer freezer is better too, as I can have meat, veg and fruit in separate drawers. It even has a water cooler, which will be welcome in this weather.
Now I am absolutely bushed, having taken all the stock and stuff out of the Utility, and have just been putting it all back again, much more neatly. I don't have the energy to water round in the yard right now, and don't even have the energy to go upstairs for a shower. I will just sit and start another book.
Tomorrow is going to be hectic as I have the dentist in Llandovery, have to go to Carmarthen to get my camera looked at as it still won't turn on, and pop up to see other Pam, and then with any luck, an hour or so at my quilt group. "Heatwave" quilt is coming on really well and I think I just have another 2 big blocks to do (16 blocks in the big one). Then in the evening Sam is coming round to watch the football here. I'm quite looking forward to that.
Anyway, I am glad that is done and dusted and I don't have to try and get rid of the old fridge-freezer. Btw, that had been a top of the range one when we bought it, and if I had wanted to replace like with like, I would have had to cough up £2,000!!! This was a darn sight cheaper :) It's a Haier.
It looks very posh and at least the men took your old one away. Worth paying for getting rid off. I've got the Dentist this week, only a check up but I've got a jittery tooth. Been and topped up the Mini petrol in case the prices start rising again. Now I'm going to water my back garden and investigate round the roots of the passionflower as it looks very droopy. OH watching France v Spain. Xx
ReplyDeleteSome places wanted £35 to take away, £15 to take the packaging off the new one, etc etc. What a scam. I think I may need a filling as it feels like a bit of the edge of a molar has broken off. I wonder if it's ants beneath your passionflower?
DeleteLovely appliance. You will enjoy the water feature. We use ours a great deal in this hot weather.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Indeed I will, in this weather. A bonus.
DeleteVery sleek and modern. Sounds like you got a good price for what you needed too. Can we see the inside, just in general, w door open, since I am looking too.
ReplyDeleteWhy did you have to wait two hours to plug it in? And, once plugged in, how soon is it cool enough for frozen and perishables? Hours? Days?
I was pleased on the price - trying to get a cheaper one but Tam told me to spend a bit more and I am glad that I did. WIll pop up a photo for you shortly. There's one tray at the bottom, cleverly making a lot of extra storage. Meat I think - the humidity one above it is for salad/veg.
ReplyDeleteBecause it has been tipped in carrying it into the house, the chemicals inside have to stabilise again. I let it cool for an hour and them put the contents back in. There is a fast freeze option too - tried that but the sides got hot, so turned it off and everything is beautifully frozen now.
Very smart looking. These upright fridge/freezers are so much better than the chest ones.
ReplyDeleteGosh yes, I can remember having to dive head-first into mine, as what I was looking for was always at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteMele are dearer, we bought one of their fridges in lockdown as we needed more space, still use it but just as overflow from the fridge freezer. What did we do without them when we were young
