Yes we have an alternative fridge. We did away with it, made it into a cupboard and now visit the local shops more often.

I'm unconveniced you need a fridge. A Grill is far more useful.

We have replaced ours with the RM4181 (or 4180 - whichever is the Piezo electric for running on gas).

It fits in the gap, but will require modification of the cabinet - ours isn't a factory westy so there were no qualms around chopping down the surround and building a new one.

Works very well.

Each to there own, I don't need a fridge, but I wanted one.

IF we ever see a proper summer again you'll be glad of a fridge. Ice cubes in your G&T's and ice cold beers :ok
