Sylvie, Worcester , “Love fresh garden salad!”

+ The fridge is reliably cold, unlike my previous one, and perishables keep fresh for days longer. The door shuts decisively, so I don't have to check that is is keeping flies and fruitflies out and cold air in.

- Rigid plastic door furniture and salad chiller. With previous fridges, these have always cracked and broken. A product is only as good as its weakest part.

Brian, Edinburgh

+ one of the more compact fridge freezers that i was able to find (essential for the limited space i had), and reasonably priced for an A grade energy efficient unit. no problems with it so far!

- a few strange rattling and gurgling noises from the unit in the first couple of days while it settled down properly i guess. not really any major bad points as far as i can see.

+ The fridge was by far the best available for its size. We had to buy one this size due to the design of our kitchen

- Made some terrible noises when initially turned on and the outisde of the appliance got very hot (even though the inside was cold)

Product Features

Energy Efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
Number of Doors	2
Width in cm	50
Colour	White
The main colour of the product.
Frost Free	No
This will prevent the build-up of ice and frost so that you won’t have to chip away at giant blocks of ice every so often.
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. You need a 4-star freezer to freeze fresh food. With anything less you can store only pre-frozen food except with a 1-star freezer, which is suitable only for ice.
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.
