I have an LG American-style fridge freezer, and I love it. Mine doesn't have the water/ice facility (I didn't particularly want it, as it takes up a lot of space in the freezer section). My favourite feature is having frozen food at eye level, rather than having to rummage for everything in drawers at the bottom of a standard fridge freezer. (Okay, there are drawers at the bottom of my freezer section, but there are also shelves all the way up!)
Do SMEG fridges have a proper freezer section? Or do they just have a small icebox at the top? They look lovely, but you would really need to decide how important the freezer space is to you.
