Full details →Who the Samsung 28-Cu. Ft. French Door Smart Refrigerator is for
Buy it if: Large households with a wide doorway, a plumbed water point and the floor space for 91 cm.
Avoid it if: Anyone who has not measured their doorway, and anyone without a kitchen water line.
Who the LG 8kg 5 Star AI Direct Drive Front Load Washing Machine is for
Buy it if: Anyone who values water use and wash quality over cycle time, in a home with a level floor.
Avoid it if: Anyone needing laundry done quickly, or with intermittent water supply -- a front loader will not run part-filled.
