+ Reviewer left no comment

- we had to turn the door around and it wasn't as simple as the instructions ! the scews weren't long enough and some were too tight to turn ! it was a nightmare to do and it should have been so simple !

- Storage limited due to the need to keep vents clear otherwise it runs continuous. not enough shelf space, Noisey and ice tray idea is worthless

+ Stylish and modern deisgn with plenty of storage. The fridge/freezer feels solid and reliable - great value for money aswell!

- Most of the time it is whisper quiet but can be slightly noisey when the pump kicks in.

+ I had recently purchased an indesit washing machine and had to look for a new fridgefreezer as my old chest freezer lid broke. As i was in the process of refurbishing my kitchen/diner i was lucky enough to find that yourselves also did one of these in the same colour as the washing machine and it was the right size.

- May be a little noisy sometimes.

+ Frost free - so none of the issues associated with 'standard' fridge freezers when ice extends beyond the pipes, preventing the door from fully closing and requiring it to be chipped off. Good provision of two thermostats to facilitate control over fridge and freezer. Nice touch with ice cube maker incorporated into the drawers as part of the unit.

- Plastic film wrapping was trapped in door seals and some joints requiring inordinate amount of time to remove and some instances where this couldn't be completely removed without using a knife, for example.

+ Nice design and stainless-style finish.

- Ice cube system difficult to use.
Noisy at times.

+ Massive amount of fridge storage
Clever in-built ice trays

- Bottom freezer draw keeps falling out

+ sleek lovely looking. plenty of space for use by a couple.
Fridge and freezer evenly sized
deep drawer compartments in freezer
plenty of storage space on fridge door

- light in fridge rather dull
slight noise from it being auto defrost, abit annoying but does stop after a while.
ice cube containers on drawers makes cubes difficult to get out. ice cube tray compartment would have been better.

+ It looks great, easy to keep clean and for a single person like myself there is more then enough room. At the time of writing this, I've only had the fridge for about 3 weeks and so far there isn't one sign of any frost which is of course a huge time saver for anyone.

- The motor in the fridge freezer is a tad noisy. I don't notice it much as my bedroom isn't directly above the kitchen so I'm lucky that I can close my kitchen door. It doesn't last for long but I would expect better from Indesit and given the cost of the product. Also the seal around the fridge doesn't always want to stick so I have to make sure I actually close the door rather then just push it shut.

+ Very good design, for example the freezer drawer handles double up as removable ice cube trays!

- Swapping the door hinges was slightly difficult and required a drill. The frost free functionality means the fans are on for long periods of time

+ Good Door Storage Space. Easy access freezer drawers.

- Ice cube system not as easy to use as it suggests.

- its very noisey

+ Nice design on the outside. Ample space and easy to keep clean on the inside.

- Not well lit inside. Not enough shelves, no wine rack etc. A little noisey when door is shut (goes silent when open), but you get used to it after a few days.

+ Good design. Easy keep clean surface. Spacious fridge.

- Another shelf would have been handy in the fridge.
Quite noisey. Sudden noises like ice dropping!
Ice making fidderly to use.

+ nice design .room for lots of odd bits in door

- very noisy loud fan to rear. internal light dim

+ Light is dimmer so no glare at night or early morning. Light flashes if fridge is open too long. Nice design for ice cubes.

- 3 shelves isn't enough - too small. A bit noisy - keep thinking the oven's on.

+ Very Spacious. Good Looking Fridge/Freezer

- A bit noisy when it's plugged in could do with being a bit quieter

+ It compact but plenty of space for small family. I like the ice compartment in the doors

+ Sleek design, integral ice cube makers, nice and roomy with good interior subdivision. Quiet and pretty!

- None we've found as yet.

+ Nice stylish design, works well.

- Bit noisy, loses a bit of space inside where the temperature control is and the top freezer compartment is a bit cramped.

+ the trays on the door hold alot of jars etc and the middle shelf is big enough to sit large cartons of juice upright.

- freezer drawers are a bit small but not a problem for us as we don't freeze a lot

+ Very Stylish fridge freezer and just the right size for the two of us

- Can be quite loud when it is chilling down, but you get used to it after a while

+ I chose this fridge/freezer because it was a Which? Best Buy in the lower price range, and as such I think it is good value for money. It is frost-free and keeps a good even temperature.

- The positioning of the fridge shelf runners means you can't necessarily set the shelves to the heights you want. I find I could do with an extra shelf.

- Bit noisy

+ This model looks sleek. Fridge compartment is spacious and freezer drawers are deep. Like the silver colour. Very stylish.

- None so far. We've had this model only a few of weeks.

+ The ice trays in the top of the drawers are fantastic.

- It can be a bit noisy because it circulates air to prevent frost, I wouldn't recommend it if you have open plan kitchen.

+ Has a good finish and is mainly well designed.

+ very good value for money,stylish design

- no bad points yet

+ Great fridge, very stylish and huge capacity given how cheap it is, cools very quickly and apparently very energy efficient (although not sure how you can tell if that's true or not?)

- Only downside is it is a little noisy, it makes a sort of dripping water/air bubbling noise which might be annoying if you have a guest sleeping on your sofabed in your open plan kitchen/living room. Minor gripe though.

+ just good alround

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Maintenace Free

- Can pull out freezer draws completly

+ A lot quieter than my previous fridge freezer. The bottle-gripping device in the door compartment is a good idea.

- I think the ice cube devices built into the drawers is not really necessary as an ordinary ice cube maker can be used.

+ All of it

- No internal wine rack

+ "Which" magazine best buy. That's why I chose it and within my price range.

- None as yet.

+ It fitted in our kitchen and the door shelves looked the strongest out of all we saw.

- Cleaning is not easy. Also could do with more glass shelves and door shelves.

+ stylish design. Nice colour

- Makes 1 hell of a racket. Freezer space is to small for this size of fridge.

Good value for money.

The salad compartments are not big enough.
The fridge compartments are little small.

+ quiet, well finished, adequate space in the fridge section, easy controls.

- difficult to fill the drawers in the freezer section. have to remove them to get anything out or in, deep doors mean the unit cannot be situated close to a wall otherwise doors won't fully open

- very noisy and the freezer compartment is very small for the size of the whole fridge/freezer
