Good points:: design is awkward (tricky getting into the bottom salad drawer as it sits in a dip and does not slide in or out easily and the technical design of the freezer looks old fashioned and likely to be a problem...seems like a . The plastic on the glass shelves looks very cheapd model??? Worryingly for a fridge / freezer it is shuddering like it is cold? glad it came with insurance.
Bad points:: see above?
