Suzie, Matlock

Score 9.0/10

+ An excellent product for the price I paid. I would definitely recommend to anyone living on their own, or even a couple. It is quite tall and narrow, but the fridge part of it is surprisingly capacious and I love the fact that the side shelves on the door hold any size of bottle - most important to those who enjoy a glass of chilled wine every now and then!

- None really - I did find fitting a large frozen pizza nigh impossible in the freezer section since the shelves aren't very wide, but managed to fit all my other frozen products in without any problems.

+ Good 50/50 split between fridge and freezer
Thin but not too tall - fits into a small kitchen space
Frost free
A rated energy
Large storage basket for salad
Bottle space for a large container in door

- Quite noisy at times.
Light adquate , but could be better placed on the side rather than the top of the fridge
Handle for opening the fridge is under the door at a low level. Would be better placed on the side
Thick casing for the freezer means capacity in freezer draws is reduced
No angled wire racks provided (useful for resting bottles) , only glass shelves inside fridge

- Only thing I can think of is the glass shelves in the fridge are a bit hard to get out to clean. But you can do this with them still in the fridge.

- I couldn't reverse the doors as the screws holding the bottom hinge in place wouldn't come undone. I think this was probably a fault on my unit rather than a design fault though as it didn't look like everything was lined up properly which meant the screws wouldn't move.
