calNgary Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi I have heard you shouldnt bring your fridge freezer due to it not getting cool enough to deal with the heat here. TBH i think its an old wives tale as i have met a lot of familys who have brought their UK FF and had no problems at all. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaylee25 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thank you both for your help. I was sure I'd read that other people had taken there's with them. I'm very attached to mine as it has ice maker and filtered water lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else heard anything like this? I was planning on taking mine Thanks Kaylee x It depends how old your Fridge is - if it's pre 1990 or something (possibly 1980s?) it will have CFCs in it, and you can't import them apparently, but anything newer than that will be CFC free and fine - certainly anything post 2000, and probably a long time before that.

1200 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 did you all get your fridge without any extra charge or delay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Unless it's a big fridge freezer I would get rid and get a new one when you're here. One of the best things we ever bought was a huge fridge freezer with a water and ice dispenser. Brilliant in summer, it has a massive ice bucket. The kids have never been big on fizzy drinks and we all drink loads of water. Great for whacking loads of ice in a drink bottle before trips to the beach.
