This is the updated version of the 2017 model. I didn’t think we’d need to replace our old SMEG fridge after less than 7 years and have taken a leap of faith in ordering a SMEG fridge again so I’m hoping this new product will last longer. I have taken out AO’s by product insurance just in case. In essence, if you want the look of a SMEG fridge then you’re going to have to pay a premium and accept the fact that it’s a complicated piece of machinery and it could go wrong.
