    Good morning,
    I would like to advise dear forum users before buying a fridge.
    I have a 77cm wide kitchen space. height 204cm. depth 65cm.
    Initially it would fit Amica FK3857.3DFX, it has the best price-performance ratio. From technical requirements I would like it to be frost-free (fridge and freezer)
    Maybe someone who repairs such equipment would have valuable comments about Amici or advised a similar competition model for about PLN 2,000.
    Another model that caught my eye is the much smaller SAMSUNG RB30J3000SA, due to the 10-year warranty on the compressor. Such a long warranty is impressive, but are there no marketing tricks here?

    Look at the parameters and price and whether you like it. There is no point in suggesting producers. But if you want to, I will say that I have a 14-year-old Bosch fridge at home and it works without fail. ;)

    In the past everything was different, and the answer why it is different now can be found e.g. here: Planned product aging (planned obsolescence) . I have, for example, almost 14 years of age Polar, and it works great, but the fridge is just too small ...

    There is nothing to get excited about here. Similarly, I exchanged an old (trouble-free) and large fridge for a similar new one and the electricity bill (real reading) for 2 months is about PLN 100 lower. Both fridges are no frost.
    Another thing is whether this saving will be real, i.e. whether you will not have to spend on a new fridge in 3 years :)
    Returning to the author's question ... the fridge is much cheaper than similar competition. And if it is not produced in Poland (probably in Turkey), then in my opinion the lower price must result from cheaper components.

    When it comes to excitement, my mother has a Mastercook from 2011, the fridge is 7 years old and continues to flash :P

    Thank you all for the answers
    Yesterday I found Amice in the store and at the first meeting of the 3rd degree she lost completely all the qualities that prompted me to buy. First of all, the shelves in the doors are of such thin plastic that fear is to touch them. Handles covered with shoddy plastic, it moves already when you grab it with your hand, which will be in 10.15 years until you are afraid to think. In addition, the door cannot be swapped. You can see that this brand has gone down to a very low level (apparently they also produce them in Turkey)
    In a word, I start searching from the beginning.
    I don't know why, but refrigerators with a width of 70cm and above are at prices over 3000 zlotys, is luxury already starting from some width? I do not understand this strange policy.

    It is so that the market has been developed with equipment of standard dimensions, which is the result of a certain level of demand. For refrigerators, the standard is 60cm wide. Anything outside this standard is automatically more expensive because the cost of production in smaller quantities is simply greater, and this is not just the domain of household appliances. Similar is the case with tires - the less typical dimensions of the same model can be more expensive by a dozen or so - several dozen percent. Such an example: ContiPremiumContact 5, the most popular 205 width is about 300-350 PLN, and the width 215 is about 450-500 PLN.

    You can't fight it :)

    Thank you all for the advice and comments.
    In the end Amica lost very quickly because in the first attempt. My favorite were the twin refrigerators 70cm bosch / siemens KGN49XI30 but the wives did not like the low drawers, they were probably 14cm. In our Liebher we have a bottom 18cm high and above the 2nd with adjustable from 22cm to 30cm. so these 14cm seemed funny now, even a head of lettuce won't go in, I don't know what vegetables they do it for. Ultimately, because of these drawers, we chose 60, LG Premium GBB60NSFZB, in addition to 2 drawers has 3 shelves including one cleverly divided in half (and it works very well) and Samsung and whirlpool only have 2 shelves (odd) for this catching behind the door on the sides or from the bottom, failure (rejects me, I must have a handle ;) as in the libherra) The only drawbacks I have noticed so far are the connection at the top (no flat surface) and door stops at about 120 degrees, and resistance to closing. LG sends a technician to rearrange the door! I do not know what it is for, but in total pleasantly on their part. We bought in Euro ...... and I sincerely advise against shopping at this company, it turned out at the checkout that the delivery only after a week. However, the supplier just showed off, he arrived the day before without notice, the fridge will not be brought to the floor because the ceiling on the stairs is too low, at an angle it will not, because it will not. The packaging was torn apart and scattered on the ground floor where it fell, thanks to which the store will not accept the goods because the unpacked goods. On the waybill, however, he made it clear that the packages were brought, connected, taken away. Complaints about lodging will not be accepted by phone, why, trade secrets. In a word, steer clear of euroRTVAGD. We brought the fridge without any problem (new, you pay the deposit and you bring it yourself)

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the comparison of two frost-free refrigerators, the Amica FK3857.3DFX and the Samsung RB30J3000SA, suitable for a kitchen space of 77x204x65cm. The user initially favored the Amica model for its price-performance ratio but expressed concerns about its build quality after a store visit, noting flimsy door shelves and handles. The user also questioned the longevity and reliability of the Amica brand, suspecting cost-cutting in production. In contrast, the Samsung model was highlighted for its impressive 10-year compressor warranty, although skepticism about marketing tactics was raised. The conversation also touched on the higher prices of refrigerators with widths above 60cm due to lower production volumes. Ultimately, the user decided against the Amica and opted for an LG Premium GBB60NSFZB model, citing better drawer design and functionality.
