Most helpful reviews

Confirmed purchaser Poor fridge design.

Score 6.0/10

Good points:: Spacious freezer
Bad points:: Badly thought through fridge space, storage in doors not easy to access or doesn't hold most UK pots and package sizes. Shelves not moveable. Quality of plastic also feels shodyy - would have paid more for a better model had I known about this.
