In recent years, our decade old freezer started leaking and our one and a half decade old fridge wasn’t able to keep our food fresh and cool anymore. We were getting tired of having to defrost the thing more and more often as it aged. We decided we had to replace our fridge and our freezer as soon as possible to just be done with all the misery that they were causing us. And what better way of doing that than by purchasing a modern integrated fridge freezer that will take up less space and give us more functionality at the same time?

Smeg FA550X2 Fridge Freezer – Review

Just from doing research online, I must say I am shocked at how much choices there are to be made when it comes to American style fridge freezers. I have seen literally hundreds of different kinds of fridges on the market. And I’m not even overreacting. The supply is truly overwhelming. I ended up choosing the Smeg FA550X2 Fridge Freezer. It was quite expensive and I was afraid I would suffer from buyer’s remorse afterwards. Luckily, I did not end up suffering from that. As a matter of fact, this refrigerator has so many features, it really made my life a lot easier.

Gone are the days of leaky freezers and lukewarm fridges. This machine can do everything and more and it does it while taking up less space and generally looking awesome. The design of this American style fridge freezer is Italian. It looks like a rich man’s fridge. Even the handles are made of solid metal and not some cheap piece of plastic that comes off after a few years of swinging the door open. The interior of the fridge is massive. I’ve never seen such vast amounts of space before. The entire interior is also very well lit. Even in the back, I can see everything clearly!

This fridge is very well built as well. It’s a very solid machine that will likely last me for at least two decades. There is also a cold water dispenser in it that will allow me to fix myself a quick, cool drink when I am in dire need of cooling down. As if a built-in cold water tap isn’t good enough, there is also the possibility of getting ice cubes on demand. If this will not keep me cool when the summer comes, I don’t know what will!
