Carol, Oxford

+ Fridge functions as a fridge, size is as described.

- Insufficient shelves (one more would be good). Cheap and rubbishy internal door furnishings. Scared of breaking everything in the door! Does not hold bottled correctly at all. Plastic feels very brittle and as if if would break very easily. Nothing to hold bottles in except one strange wire on the base shelf in the door. Shelf fronts need to be higher to prevent bottles and jars from acting like lemmings each time the door is opened. Also, lots of food spoiled because it gets frozen at the rear of the fridge despite turning it down.

+ Ideal as an "extra" beer fridge for the garage!!

- When I first plugged it in, I set it on the coldest temperature. Some of the cans of beer froze and exploded. I would not expect this of a fridge!
