- The salad compartment runs colder than the main area in the fridge which can cause freezing and damage to
salad items.

+ The fridge has loads of room and I think the design is quite pleasing.

- The drawers are a little flimsy. It isn't quiet, but that doesn't bother me particularly.

+ Good value for money.

- A real struggle if you have to swap the doors around to open the other way. Instructions were poor, you need two people and some engineering tools (which the average person would not have) to recut threads that have been sealed with foam.

+ Well propotioned fridge. I like the idea of lots of shelf space in the door and the frost free aspect makes it even better.

- freezer space too small. Top freezer draw a little flimsy and very stiff to pull down.
