Today, Françoise wrote to us to say

« I've had my RADIOLA (130 l -RT 6014) freezer since... May 1987, if you can believe it! 34 years... quite a shock when I checked the receipt! Faithful and fit as ever, this freezer does everything I need to store my frozen food. I can still easily change the settings, and its lights are still bright! »
