Some customer reviews of Indesit CA55

Richard, Cardiff Basic user

Score 5.0/10

Good points:: It was cheap.
Bad points:: I wanted to change the door hinges from right hand to left, and had to remove the front panel to move a holding nut from the right hand to the left hand side. Being very careful NOT to crack the rather flimsy plastic panel, this added about 45 minutes to the task. For the sake of placing TWO nuts on both sides during appliance assembly, the additional cost would have been negligible, and removed the risk of the owner breaking the plastic clips or panel.
But I was desperate, and it was cheap.

Good points:: The fridge freezer represents good value. It cools and freezes to the correct temperature. We like the drawer layout in the freezer and it can store a reasonable amount of food, sufficient for us anyway (a family of 3). We also like the 2 large vegetable/salad bins in the fridge. Some reviews have commented that the fridge freezer was noisy but we have not found it to be overly noisy. We love the fact that the freezer is "frost free" so we will never have to defrost it. That's a big plus!
Bad points:: The main negative for us is the design of the fridge, which we feel could accommodate much more food with extra shelving. We find we have to stack food on top of other food in order to maximise the storage space and this is not ideal. A small niggle is the fact that the trim on the bottom shelf of the fridge keeps coming off.
