Serious reservation about this new model!
2/5
I have very serious reservations about this fridge/freezer. It is of pleasant appearance, ergonomically designed and capacious. BUT!!! I have serious reservations about its temperature control. It worked well for five days, freezer at -18C and fridge at 1.9C - perfect. Then, suddenly, freezer rose to -4c and fridge to >4C without any ambient changes. I transferred everything, reluctantly, to other devices and left it running - it slowly recovered and overshot to -25C and back to -7C in the same day and the fridge to sub zero and above! it then stabilised to -18C and I put the food back, but its temperature control is all over the place!
Undisturbed, it seems to be able to maintain -18c, but if you open a door, it takes several hours to recover (if it does!!!). I have booked an engineer, but deferred for a week, because I want to investigate it thoroughly with a data logger and see what is going on in the fridge and in the freezer. I will record 24 hour observations at 2 minute intervals. I want to know what is actually happening to the food inside and will be monitoring that as well as the internal air temperature of the devices .
I will report back; I am not convinced that this device offers safe food storage which is a shame because it markets as good value, appears to well designed and supply fro AO was excellent. Very disappointing to have spent so much money and have this concern a week after delivery.!
