Score 9.0/10

+ everything you need from this type of fridge, left or right hanging door, quite easy to install,

- inside door compartments could be a little better, but nothing to put anyone off about.
decor door hanging instructions could be a little clearer, but you can work it out.

+ Good price
Easy to install
Plenty of capacity
I personally liked the glass shelves and salad crisper which you don't get on cheaper models

- I was very carfeul about my measurement but found that the legs did not quite extend to 80cm (I used some wooden blocks underneath the legs which the kitchen fitter used on my previous fridge, so it appears this might be a common occurance for all integrated applicances under the counter)

+ The door shuts firmly and properly without an extra push - that has sometimes been a problem with integrated models for us.

- Compared to our previous model, the capacity is not very good; the shelves in the door are not deep enough and the cover on the top door shelf limits the space even further. The drawer at the bottom seems easy to access but not very roomy.

+ shelves spacing are excellent, door capacity also excellent.

- salad trays could slide out thereby allowing the shelf on top of the salad trays to be in use constantly. As it is you have to lift the shelf to access the trays. The light and control knob at the top of the fridge protrudes too much.
