+ capacity, design, price

- build quality - shelves, drawers etc - extremely flimsy. Will break very easily

+ freezer drawers are very deep for maximum storage. good large salad draw

- door shelf for bottles not designed to take large capacity milk cartons. Not to keen on glass shelves.

+ It does the job its supposed to do.

- A little smaller than I was expecting

+ Very spacious fridge compartment. Door shelving is adjustable to store large bottles. Good sized salad drawer.

- Doors on one or two of the shelves would have been better than 3 drawers

+ Good design and ability to change doors

- None

+ just right for me now a single mum of two it is just about the right size for us. i think i could hve done with the fridge a little bigger but probably need to be more organised or mabe cut the amount of smirnoffs i put in it !!!

- when i open the fridge door the bottle of water keeps falling out. would have been better if the bit you put it in had a higher side to it. although it might br that i havent leveled it right. all in all id say it was a good buy.

+ The general design of the fridge. Although it wasn't the largest capacity available at the price the width and perceived internal volume was the best.

- Non so far

+ Cheap fridge freezer. Best one I could find for the price.

- Not frost free. Shelving is a bit cheap on the inside door of the fridge.

+ Very happy with product - plenty of space and modern design

+ design and size

- only one shelf in fridge

+ does what it says onthe box - nothing fancy but you dont pay for anything fancy

- none

+ As I am a widower and pensioner living alone the size and capacity is perfect for me

- None at the moment

+ I have to have a narrow fridge/freezer due to lack of space This model fits neatly into my kitchen and looks good too.

- Compared to my old fridge freezer I found the depth limits the amount of contents that I can get in. Another shelf would be beneficial.

+ Attractive design, quiet, good capacity

- bottom drawer in freezer space is limited

+ very easy to see exactly what you've got inside the fridge
very good value for money

- Forgot that I would have preferred to buy an auto-defrost model!
The height is nice but means that the door opening is a little too low for me, especially on the freezer

+ easy to clean,plently of space in door

- none

+ product and price are idea for someone with limited space who would like i modern looking fridge freezer

- none to mention except its a low budget fridge freezer

+ JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR ME AS A SINGLE BLOKE

- NOTHING SO FAR

+ Good value for money fridge freezer.

- Chaning the door to open on the other side is a faff.

+ Looks good, has a finish slightly different to other silver appliances which sets it apart. Very quiet. Fridge is a good size for what is a compact fridge freezer

- An extra shelf would be good, but isnt a necessity

+ Space well organised - feels bigger then it is.

- Light bulb went after 6 weeks - and very difficult to change

+ Value for money

- the back of fridge freezes and then defrosts into fridge causing excess water. Items near the back also freeze

+ price & space

- none

+ Nice and compact. Easy to keep clean. Perfect for the smaller kitchen. Ideal for single person or a couple.

- Not come across any yet.

+ Quiet, energy efficient, compact, silver finish, affordable price.

- Cheap build quality, inefficient capacity due to lack of extra shelves, moisture ices up a bit at the back of the fridge.

+ Plenty of space for someone on thier own or for a small family

- Fridge ices up

+ smart, fits in nicely, adequate for ttwo or a small family, cost effective.
took away old fridge, good service, reliable

- it could be inapporpriate for a large family

+ absolutely delighted

- would like to be able to change door from left to right more easily

+ Efficient, quiet, love the silver finish. Although on my own much of the time I managed to fit in Christmas fare when the family stayed for the holiday

- I cannot remove the chiller compartment without fully opening the door which is not possible as the fridge is in a corner. it makes clening difficult.

+ Great for just me in my own flat, It stores everything i need. Althought i didnt think it would be as small as it was, its a perfect fit in my tiny kitchen.

- Wasn't as big as i expected it to be. Prob wouldnt be enought storage for more that 1 maybe 2 people.

+ Good size salad/veg draw in fridge.

- Non that I have found.

+ Quite spacious within. Freezer drawers are quite deep.

- Could do with another shelf in fridge. The shelf on the inside of the fridge door needs to be higher at the front as things sometimes topple over when opening the fridge.

+ keeps food at precise temperature

- refigerator door, allows bottles to fall out too easily

+ size is excellent

- fridge compartment is not cold enough. food mould whiles fridge is still working.

+ temp. control, noise level nil

- nil

+ well built

- overall small capacity

+ The sise is certainly okay if there is only one of you

- Could be slightly taller

+ does what it claims to do.it runs very quite and efficiently.no complaint so far.

- sometimes some bad smell comes out of the system,i ont know if it comes from the inside or from the back.i want to emphasize it is very quite you dont even realise that it is on.

+ Good arrangement of drawers and shelves.

- Will not work in a garage

+ we are a family of three so we need to buy a fair amount of food to last the month so the size was very important to us. we can fit our months worth of shopping plus the little extras.
the color was also important for us as we wanted a silver one so it looked nice and modern.
the overall size of this fridgefreezer is fantastic as we have quite a small kitchen.

- if you have a very large family (five plus) i would say this fridgefreezer would be too small

+ Good value - smart

- small capacity of fridge in comparison to freezer

+ The only model that fitted width and height of the space in the kitchen!

- Ice forms on the inside of the fridge (on the back wall), even though I have a fridge thermometer to get the temperature right.

+ Compact and a nice design. Great value for money for a couple.

- The freezer drawers are very small, not suitable for a family.

+ Simple to use. Clean design. Quiet running. Does the job for not much money, good value

- Recessed handles would be better at the side than at the top/bottom of the fridge freezer.

+ It's a good compact fridge/freezer with good capacity in the fridge and adequate capacity in the freezer.

- It was extremely difficult with terrible instructions to change the door openings from one side to the other - it took me and my neighbour (who's an engineer!) two hours to work it out and a bad back!

- It is not frost free.

+ great price, big enough for our family

- could be too small for larger famillies

+ Glass shelves instead of plastic ones.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very good size of fridge, nice looking, energy efficient.

- I didn't realise the exact size of the freezer section and would preferably have liked something with a little larger freezer section.

+ Very quiet

- Could have done with more freezer space

+ The fridge freezer has a good overall appearance, a bit retro looking in a good way! Handy having the fridge on the top and plenty of space. Also good to know that it is energy efficient 'A' rating.

- Bottom drawer of freezer gives the impression that it is larger than the rest but actually doesnt go back so far as the others, minor point.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Not enough shelves

+ Very quiet & holds all I need & more.

- none

+ nice design, energy efficient.

- freezer space a bit small, thought it was going to be bigger, especially the bottom drawer which is alot smaller than the others.

+ Does what I want for the price

- Nothing really

+ a well designed fridge freezer, ideal for small family or single person. Good sized salad drawer. Good make and good quality for the money.

- Only one shelf in the door for tall bottles, other one quite shallow. Could have done with another shelf in the fridge compartment, but not essential.

+ One of the good points is that the fridge has a very quiet motor, can hardly hear it running. Other good point is
it has a super big salad draw, plenty of room for all the salad things.

- I would have liked it to be a big taller.
