+ Easy and quick to setup and install. Excellent layout inside. Door capacity is tremendous. Very cold on a low setting even in very hot weather. Comfortably fits under average height kitchen worktop. Easy to clean and maintain.

- 6 egg holder not enough capacity.

+ Really good storage. I can finally fit all my produce in comfortably. Unlike other reviews that I have read, I have no issue whatsoever with the lighting - it's fine. Easy to keep clean. Secure door storage areas really useful with a heavy handed son in the house!

- I haven't found a use for the little drop down shelf within the bottle storage area of the door.

+ Chills quickly and without needing the settings near max

- The light is poorly spaced and makes getting things from the back of the top shelf difficult. The instructions could be clearer

- The interior light - it's in the door frame at the top and therefore doesn't light the inside of the fridge up very well. Lighting in the fridge is very poor

+ Value for money and good use of space

- Light outside of main compartment of fridge.

+ capacity solid shelves are useful

- positioning of the fridge light is not very efficient

+ Plenty of space, (as no ice Box). Glass shelving = easy cleaning and items don't topple over or slip through as they would on a wire grid.

- The fridge light is badly positioned

+ It is a good size and a very "solid" appliance. Just the right size for a two people household.

+ good size for salad drawer and plenty of depth to shelves

- not keen on position of interior light, too near front of fridge so bit dark toward back of shelves

+ Meets our requirements nicely, neatly fits the space we had from the previous fridge !

- Light not as good as previous model we had. Doesn't light the whole fridge up, although position saves space.

+ really chills food

- take care with lower shelves initially else it will freeze on setting 3-4 (and the salad draw!)

+ Quiet efficient fridge with plenty of room.

- Restricted space for large bottles or cartons.

+ It is very energy efficient

- None found

+ Quiet running and plenty of shelves

- Drop down bottle /can holder next to useless but can be folded away

+ I love the shelves easy to move and keep clean. I like most everything about it.

- The only fault is that it could do with being a little bit bigger.

+ glass shelves more practicable than
open bars and easily cleanable

- egg holder position badly situated

+ low energy consumption.self defrost

- Reviewer left no comment

+ compact quiet efficient

- rather small, no bigger than the 500mm unit it replaced. Probably due to extra insulation. Light is useless at front should be nearer the back to light up the back. Don't like the sliding butter holder or the bottle holder.

+ its very spacious

- the shelves on the doors could be a little wider for bottles etc.

+ Works well and quietly

- Very poor position of Interior light. Shows what is in the door but the room lighting will do that. The position of the light makes it very difficult to see what is on the shelves. This model replaces our original Iced Diamond and I find it to be inferior to the earlier design.

- The plastic shelves are a bit flimsy and liable to snap/crack if too much pressure or weight used.

+ Quiet, "A" rated, glass shelves good especially glass top to veg box.

- very dark inside, light is to the front

+ VERY QUIET RUNNING EASY TO CLEAN

- LIGHT NOT IN GOOD POSITION WHEN DOOR IS OPENED

+ Reviewer left no comment

- poor layout inside,
useless light
no wheels to push it into place

+ As the kitchen is rather small the fridge has been positioned on top of the worktop and it works very well. There is no need to defrost and all shelves are easily accessable. I bought the fridge for my 80 year old mother and she loves it!

+ Reasonable value for money

- Light is NOT inside fridge

+ Quiet, good value, spacious but could have done with another shelf.

- Light on the outside - not a major problem but a strange design idea! Not quite sure what the point of the small flip down shelf is either!

- Light too near front of fridge so bottom and back of fridge much too dark.

- taking a bit to settle down

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Light in silly place above door. needs to have light inside fridge

+ Like the safety glass shelves - easier to clean. The interior light is positioned so that it doesn't take up space inside. Door shelves well designed and easy to clean. Salead crisper good in the full length of fridge - makes storing celery etc easier.

- The shelf in the door that is supposeed;y for butter - it's just a nuisance

+ Quite and solid in apprearance and does what a fride should do

- Extreemly poor position of the internal light which makes it difficult to see iems stored at the back of the fridge. Also poor is the position and size of the egg tray being very flimsey and allowing for just 6 eggs.

+ Plenty of room for 2 litre cartons of Milk etc.

- None

- Lower bottle space in door will not take 2ltr bottle

+ easy to clean and efficient

- Reviewer left no comment

+ well designed - appreciate 'flat' glass shelves (as compared with 'rack type in our previous 'fridge.

- we should have compared the 'whiteness' of this model (which is 'cold blue-white' - an obvious difference to the 'warm' Bosche white of the washing machine alongside.
Manufacturers should standardise!

+ Good response from both the top burners and the fan oven.

- The grill pan and grill are very noisy when replaced into the grill area. It is difficult to do this quietly however you try.

+ Good size and fits under the worktop

- Interior light not on all the time- seems to depend on some other feature.

+ Efficient, has enough space for my needs.

- Not found any yet.

+ Design

- none

+ Liked ability to move door shelves
Very quiet

- Doesnt hold as much as old Zanussi fridge although supposedly slightly bigger.

4.6 cu ft of storage.

Good interior layout.

- Interior light outside.
Thermostat control could be improved upon :- easier to operate, arrow or spot
to indicate selected setting.

- None

+ Lots of space and different compartments to hold everything you would need

- n/a

+ Very good storage space. Easy to clean.

+ Great size when space limited and excellent value for money.

- Would like door compartment wider ideally so that it could hold a water filter jug more easily.

+ Glass shelves are a great idea as take more weight. Storage capacity is great and the added advantage of having no freezer box means that you can stand things up on the top shelf.

- Light on door instead of inside the fridge

+ Neat little fridge.

- As others commented, the position of the light could be better and it is a bit noisy when the motor is running.

+ good value

- slightly noisy/design of feet not good as they are visible not tucked away and a bit ugly looking

+ Quiet and easy to clean

- Fridge door base compartment could be slightly wider to accommodate a fridge jug more easily

+ the door lay out is good and the overall look of the fridge is smart.

- shelf movement is a bit restricted

+ There is enough space to fit in all my shop, for at least 4 days for a family of four.

- could be more compartments

+ Slim line so fits into existing space. Almost matches the slimline freezer next to it.

- Light doesn't seem to fall onto the contents,

+ Excellent fridge with good capacity and quiet in use

+ It looks good, is quiet and seems to be working efficiently.

- Not as solidly built as our older fridge, now replaced. If you install the bottle rack it limits where you can put the shelves. We had some difficulty getting the temperature setting correct.

+ energy rating, glass shelves

- light at front of fridge over door so difficult to see what's further back on shelves - can see what's at front and on door with light in kitchen!

+ Looks OK good size inside

- Iv'e tried different settings now Iv'e set it on zero and it's still freezing everything

+ It's very quiet and relatively cheap.

- For the same external dimensions, this fridge is much smaller internally than the "identical" one it replaced

+ Smallish well designed

- There arn't any really

+ Cools very well. Easily kept to 5 degrees during the hottest days this summer. Very quiet in operation Shelf spacing adequate for putting yogurt cartons on without any problem.

- Light not very well placed

+ plenty of room

+ good layout and value for money

- temp setting bit basic

+ It seems to be quite spacious and the glass shelves are easy to clean. Good value for money.

- Light positioned at front and in door - makes the fridge seem quite dark at times especially if quite full.

+ Well Built, Efficient

- Door shelves could be better. Egg rack too small

+ Quiet motor,good storage capacity

- Slightly deeper than I would want with regards to dimensions

+ Size and shelf spacing, design of door space is good too.

- Light is not on the inside which can make seeing stuff on the top shelf a little tricky.

+ THERE ALL GOOD POINTS BEST THING NO DE FROSTING

- NONE

+ Looks quite good on the outside,nice clean lines.Fits in well under work surface.

- Seems very small inside campared to my old Hotpoint fridge.Light is in a rearly stupid position, dosen't give any light inside fridge. I am quite disoppointed with it and now wish I had gone for a different make, but always having had Hotpoint appliences I thought I would be satisfied with it.

+ lots of room with an overall clean design.

- light is in a bad position

+ Good layout internally enabling varied products to be easily stored.
Clean lines and a modern look made it an essential item for my new kitchen
Reversable door hinge provided flexibility

- None really
