Gordon, Brighton

+ Good use of space inside.

- Noticeably noisy.
Door fixing kit had to be modified before fridge door would close fully.
1 or 2 wire shelves (currently all glass) would be an improvement to stop bottles rolling.

Senior_citizen, Maidenhead , “NOTHING”

+ Very roomy for the size

- The door on this fridge will not open with the kitchen plinth on the bottom.It will have to be cut on each side with the fridge showing at the bottom.My previous built in fridge door opened higher up and was recessed at the bottom to allow for the plinth to run all along.

paul, Inverrness

+ Best capacity as an undercounter integrated fridge, only one found that had sliding salad crisper drawers instead of hard to use under shelf style

- Price, but is in line with other integrated makers. Plinth adaption required to fit but probably has to be this way to get the capacity.

+ Easy to clean. Quiete.

- Veg & salad units too small. Would be better if the storage unit was one long unit. Egg storage unit badly designed with 2 half sections at each end and room for 7 eggs only.

Richard, Nr Farnborough

+ The product installed easily as a replacement for a previous fridge. It is very quiet and, although I haven't done any measurements, it does not seem to switch on very often suggesting that the insulation and efficiency are both good.

- My only complaint is that it contains two salad boxes which are not big enough to hold a cucumber. My previous fridge contained only one full-width box which had greater and more useful capacity.

+ Very quiet when running. Enough shelves supplied and good variation on shelf levels. Adequate and relatively inexpensive., does the job!

- Door shelves slightly flimsy, but that's why it's inexpensive. Two small salad drawers, instead of one large one, make it difficult to store whole cucumber, spring onions, leeks etc. but can be overcome by cutting in half!

Nigel, Gainsborough Lincs , “No”

+ Fitted cupboard that previous fridge (of same make) was installed.
Easy to fit.

- Would have prefered more flexibility with shelving and door storage.
ie. split top shelf, racking instead of solid shelves as earlier design.
