We've just been out and bought another Westinghouse. The old one, that just died, lasted 30 years. And they're made in Australia, so hopefully for our variable conditions.
We got something a similar size to our old one, freezer down one side, fridge the other (that way all mum's stuff can be up high so she doesn't have to bend), the efficiency rating is rather good, and given that they revamped the ratings a while back because of the dramatic improvement in tech, it should be waaaaaaaaaaaay more efficient than our old one.
Cost around $1600, and it gets delivered tomorrow. Some stuff has already been lost, but hopefully we can save the frozen breast milk thanks to the thermal mass of all the frozen stuff packed around it.
