Tom, Birmingham

Score 7.0/10

+ This fridge is great if you have limited height. In my kitchen, it goes from the floor to below the high cupboards. This is the only fridge-freezer that I managed to find that is about a 50/50 split- most of them that fit in this space are mainly fridge with the a tiny freezer point.

- Would have loved a frost free freezer, but this isn't. Had to go for it over space issues but otherwise I would have tried to get a frost free one.

Score 6.0/10

+ Neat, slimline fridge/freezer; good to have fridge at the top and freezer at the bottom...saves lots of bending for my elderly mother

- Freezer capacity quite small, top draw very shallow...just big enough for a large pizza!

Score 8.0/10

+ Perfect for the elderly where the fridge part is at the top and they don't have to bend over to open

- Actual handles would be better

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.

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.
