I have the SMEG home and the reviews of the other reviewers I can not confirm. Neither are the apparatus strange noises from, yet it cools too much, etc. But what I find underground, is the high power consumption or just reaching the A + class. The instrument is sometimes more than twice as expensive as the nearest competitor and make it then not time also standards concerning. To set energy consumption? Now that is really retro. Fortunately, we now sell our house and the kitchen with a SMEG fridge stays inside. :-) The buyers also fell in love with the look of the thing. But he is good.
