New frigorífico, or not, Mediamarkt?

The house came with a nice big old Samsung fridge. It works. It has flaws. First of all, it's noisy. It whirrs, ZzZzms and hums. Loudly. Sometimes you can stop that by thumping it, but the Zzzm will come back.

Secondly, the layout. It has a compartment in the door for bottles. No idea what size bottles Koreans use, but for our bottles it's far too wide, and the bottom is not flat. If you close the door the bottle falls over. So we put cans around bottles to fix them. But, when you get a bottle out, the cans and other bottles fall over, and annoy engineer Jansen to no end. 




And there's a shelf missing above the bottles. But, if it was not missing it would sit too low, and bottles would not fit under it. Always something.

Secondly, this fridge has a cold water tap! Lovely! An internal 3 liter bottle so you have fresh water all day!  Just put a glass in the opening, press the lever, et presto! Could fill the reservoir witn white wine, rosé or Campari, too!



But, there always is a but, when you release the lever the waterflow does not (always) stop. And there's nothing you can push back or put a finger on or in to stop it. You have to open the fridge, unscrew the bottle, and take it out. Meanwhile the floor is already soaking wet.  That annoys engineer Jansen even more than the bottles falling over.

Thirdly, the bottom drawer is far too large. Can't find a thing. And the fridge has no shelf for wine bottles, so we sort of did that diy. 


And, it's old. So, it has to go.  

Oooh, this one is nice! Disponible online, entrega gratis, dia sin IVA! €825

Ordering it! Eh, "Entrega no disponible en tu direccion". Hm. Engineer Jansen is annoyed already.

Help chat.

Al revisar el stock del producto, me indica el sistema que en nuestra tienda Online no hay disponibilidad en estos momentos. 

But, when I look online it's still available.

Actualmente el artículo no tiene disponibilidad. Lo que ocurre es que nuestra pagina WEB tarda hasta 24 horas en actualizarse y por eso te aparece como disponible Online. Pero actualmente ese articulo no tiene unidades a la venta. Te pido disculpas por las molestias causadas.

And what does Mediamarkt say when you press them?

Buenos días. A través de nuestra tienda online tienes acceso a un Marketplace. Nos puedes comprar directamente a nosotros, pero también a muchos otros vendedores y por eso tener la ventaja de una posibilidad de selección mucho más amplia. La nota en la página de detalles del producto «Venta y envío a través de…» contiene información sobre si el producto se está vendiendo por un vendedor de Marketplace y qué vendedor es. Al hacer un pedido en nuestro Marketplace, el pago lo haces en nuestra página como siempre y el producto te lo entregará directamente el vendedor. El frigorífico que nos indicas, con número de artículo 142442470, corresponde a un Marketplace, vendido y enviado por AhorroElectro. Te confirmamos que en estos momentos hay unidades disponibles para la compra online. No obstante, te facilitamos los datos del vendedor AhorroElectro, número de teléfono: 960105442 y correo electrónico: 

info@ahorroelectro.com. Un saludo.

So, Mediamarkt is sort of an Amazon, where other parties sell stuff, but looking like Mediamarkt.

Today the fridge is available via that Ahorroelectro, and on Mediamarkt:

Only double the price.  €1742

Engineer Jansen is QUITE pissed off now. 

Mediamarkt is banned here.
