Good points:: Humidity control for fruit and veg really works and keeps things fresh for much longer. Lots of room in the fridge and a perfect sized freezer with lots of room to store the basics and home made ice lollies and an ice cream maker. The wine storage shelf is excellent too.
Bad points:: None so far.

Ruth, Manchester Style conscious

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: We bought this as an alternative to an American Fridge Freezer as we had a 900mm width to fit it in. So glad we did though. Very stylish and sleek to the eye. Layout in fridge is well designed with plenty of room. Vegetable compartments definitely keep food fresh for longer and the slide drawers are a great feature in both fridge and freezer. Freezer compartment has ample space and the ice cube maker and cool water dispenser are a great feature. A little more expensive but definitely worth every penny.
Bad points:: Not found any

Fridge Freezer Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

Active Smart technology has been given a new addition, an integrated water dispenser providing you with chilled filtered water and an internal ice maker for clean, crisp ice cubes on demand. With no impact on space in the freezer or refrigerator door, this is the perfect addition to the Active Smart family.

Active SmartÃ‚Â® has two variable speed fans which provide faster cooling and freezing with an even temperature throughout each level. Active Smart continuously adjust the flow of cold air based on daily use and climatic conditions, ensuring it quickly reaches the safe temperature for maintaining freshness.

The Humidity Control System is a slide control which combines with the Humidity Control Lid. This system enables humidity customisation in each side of the fruit and vegetable bin.

Enjoy the healthy benefits of cold, filtered water at the touch of a button though a fully plumbed in water dispenser. Because this dispenser takes up no room in the door, you still have maximum space for food storage.

Clean, crisp ice cubes on demand with no impact on useable space. Ice making volume can be customised to your lifestyle and weÃ‚â€™ve even included an ice scoop for hygienic use of your cubes.

All Active Smarts features can be accessed through the external controls. Freezer Chill provides rapid freezing and Bottle Chill offers a timed chilling function.
