Lisa , Aberdeen

+ Looks great, has lots of space and the drinks dispenser is fab

- Just a little moan...the drinks dispenser on the outside is not tall enough,you can only use small glasses to put water into as larger glasses dont fit.

tessie, southampton , “frazzled mother of four”

+ nice looking design, well built and energy efficient. the water chiller is particularly nice, very easy to fill and a usefully large capacity means you arn't always filling it up

- Freezer capacity is not over generous and the fact that you have to open the door past 90 degrees to pull the drawers out would cause a problem if placing the item in a corner.

jeff, swindon

+ this product looks great , its quit quiet in operation , overall very good , by far the best fridge/freezer i have had yet !!!!!!

- the only bad point is the flimsy seperator in the sald crisper , which is of poor design and to thin and weak in construction, but hey nothing is ever perfect...

Christian, Staines

+ Really pleased with the item. Build quality is great with no cheap looking plastic. Perfect family fridge and great value.

- The water dispenser doesn't have a filter and dripped at first, but stopped on the 2/3rd filling - strange! The freezer could be slightly bigger.

Tracey , London

+ Large fridge space with lots of compartments for different items. Freezer is equally spacious for my needs. Love the water dispenser feature, my intake of water has increased since purchasing it just due to the ease of being able to obtain cold water with no fuss. Fridge and freezer doors virtually close by themselves. Very good value for the price.

- In my experience the only downside with this product is sometimes the water dispenser leaks. It is only a mild irritation as very little water comes out but it does mean that I keep a cup continually under the dispenser just in case.

+ Options to have doors on either side, big fridge capacity, not too wide fits in a normal appliance space. contemporary look to it and fits in with most kitchens.

- 3 drawer freezer compartment, could have taken space off the fridge and evened out the space to provide more freezer room. door flipping process is very clunky.

+ Excellent fridge/freezer. Really large fridge, like the compartments labelled for what to put in them. Good sized freezer. Like the fact you can make the freezer lower than 18 degrees if you like, and that it has a holiday option for energy saving. Is a really quiet fridge much quieter than my old one. Really good water dispenser holds a lot of water.

Su, Preston

+ It looks Great. it is so much colder than my old fridge. I like the extra drawer in the fridge and the fact the salad drawer has a divider in it.

- The freezer drawers need to be pulled out to get large items in. Plus not enough bottle space in the fridge if you want to stand them up. Only enough room for 4 average size bottles/cartons. There is no bottle rack as details state there is.
