John, Burnham

+ Large fridge with nice interior. Fairly good value for money.

- Some plastic trim is cheap and freezer door trim cracked after 2 weeks. Mains lead is rather short. Large eggs unstable in rack. metal corners of cabinet could be finished better.

Mo, Manchester

+ Excellent capacity. I like the glass shelves. I only needed a small freezer as I have a large freezer in the garage & wanted a more spacious fridge. Overall I think it is great value for money.

- I cant quite get it levelled completely, despite using the extendable feet at the front, but think that has more to do with my floor than the fridge!

Lyn, Farnham

+ If you have a chest freezer and want a large fridge this is ideal. The small freezer compartment is ideal for opened packets and ice.

- Haven't found any

+ Large fridge area and glass shelves which are easy to move. Lots of storage in the door for cartons and bottles. Freezer seems bigger than actually size and I have managed to squeeze lots into it.

Anita, Kent

+ yet to find any

- so small inside. The egg rack which is supplied with the fridge doesnt even hold eggs properly. The design of the veg tray at the bottom means that every time you want to pull the tray out, you end up pulling the shelf instead. Very disappointed with the whole purchase

Margaret , Benfleet

+ size, especially width, it does not take up too much work top space

- I am used to wire shelves with backs. The glass shelves in this fridge do not have backs, so food can be pushed to the back of the fridge against the wall which gets wet and icy.

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.
