Only had it 5 years. It is nowt fancy in terms of what it does - it was the colour and appearance that appealed - curved door and top - small ice box inside. The name on it is the name of the maker - whereas Servis is just a stuck on brand name to give some people a warm feeling,
When I go on holiday, I find it interesting to see the appliances in villas and in shops. Often names we do not know - yet they look familiar in most cases. We have a global manufacturing capability and only a few places actually make key things like motors. The brand is of limited significance in my opinion. Read the spec, decide if it suits youand go for it irrespective of the label.
