Advantages: Keeps food cold!!

Disadvantages: Ice cube tray fiddly

I have had this fridge freezer for two months and haven't had any problems with it. The fridge capacity is enough for a family of four (2 teenagers!) and stays at a stable temperature. It is kept in a utility room which can get very cold, but I haven't noticed any changes in internal temp. Condensation does build up on the back but drains through the bottom hole.

The freezer capacity is maybe a little less than I would have liked but means I have to use food more quickly - probably a good thing!! One major niggle are the ice cube trays on the front of the freezer drawers, they seem like good idea but are very small and you can't see how much water to put in. My son bashes the tube on the worktop to dislodge the cubes, which is REALLY annoying and probably not good for the top or ice cube holder.

The motor is extremely quiet, in fact sometimes I have to open the fridge door to check it is still working! There are no lights or indicators on the outside to show the appliance is on.

Overall a reasonably priced appliance which keeps food cold - what more would you want.
