Christine, Romford

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Really dissapointed with this product as it is too small. Dont like the design of the fridge. Sloping at the top - so less room to stand things up. Also, cheap plastic parts. Deffinately over priced.

Darran, London

+ electronic display, fast freeze and frost free

- not flexible in the fridge compartment, both fridge and freezer are restricted (small - can hardly fit a pizza box flat in the freezer). Parts of the fridge seem badly put together and the machine is rather noisy?

Elizabeth, Cardiff

+ Neat

- Does not like the fridge reasonably full. Failed and temperature went up to 9 degrees and eventually to H.
Nearly called service engineer but after taking some of the food out, it started to work again.
Not overly thrilled with product.

Mike, Crowborough , “Couple with no children”

+ This was the cheapest frost free fridge/freezer I could find at the time. I has a front digital controller with a readout of the temperatures in both compartments so I always know whats happening inside. It works well and does everything I would expect.

- It makes funny noises sometimes, loud popping and wheezing, it must be something to do with the refrigeration system.

Product Features

Energy Efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
Number of Doors	2
Width in cm	54
Colour	White
The main colour of the product.
Frost Free	Yes
This will prevent the build-up of ice and frost so that you won’t have to chip away at giant blocks of ice every so often.
Freezer Stars	4
These tell you how long you can store food for – with 1 star you can store food for up to a week and with 4 stars, you can freeze food for up to a year. You need a 4-star freezer to freeze fresh food. With anything less you can store only pre-frozen food except with a 1-star freezer, which is suitable only for ice.
Ice-Cube Dispenser	No
Get instant ice cubes at the touch of a button.
Water Dispenser	No
Get cool water at the touch of a button. Great in summer but the device needs to be plumbed into the mains. Water dispensers also tend to take up quite a bit of space and have a filter that needs changing regularly.
