Advantages: Very Spacious

Disadvantages: Large, and noisy.

This fridge freezer is especially tall and a little imposing within a small kitchen, however, this does mean that it is very spacious. The are 2 large drawers for fruit and veg, a large chiller section (although the manual doesn't really explain what this is for), good shelving space, which are adaptable, and the door shelves are a good depth with plenty of space.

The freezer is also of a good size and I find I have never actually filled it completely. There are 4 deep drawers.

The fridge freezer is very easy to use and is pretty reliable.

HOWEVER! One down side is the noise! Every so often (including during the night!) the appliance starts to make loud cracking a whirling noises- fine if you can shut your kitchen door to keep the noise out, but was rather alarming to start with as we assumed there is something wrong with the item, but apparently this is normal and part of the self-defrosting system.

Overall a good, spacious and reliable fridge freezer.

Summary: Overall very pleasing, once you get used to the noises.
