There was a slight issue when delivered and the fridge had a small dent as a result; it didn’t affect usage. I’ve covered it with a kids drawing now!
This was bought as a replacement for a very old overworked fridge freezer which I was needing to defrost every week (no joke). Only so many weekends of sitting in front of your freezer with a washing up bowl and a towel hacking bits of ice…
Just seeing this in my kitchen was amazing. It’s gorgeous. It has a nice shine to it when the sun hits it, and makes a statement in the room. Turning it on at the switch and hearing the chimes, and then I let it do its thing and get to temperature.
I did however at this point change the temperatures as the pre sets wouldn’t have worked for us. The changing of temperature was easy and straight forward and seeing the light indicators is great. I also changed the dial within the fridge towards fruit and vegetables as that is what we use the bottom drawer in the fridge for.
The amount that we can fit into this is amazing; can do a huge shop and still have space leftover. Little shelves in the fridge door have been allocated by the kids for Babybels and yoghurts.
Only very very slight niggle with the fridge is that the water tank gets in the way of putting an extra bigger bottle in the door shelf, but as I say it’s only a very slight one and for having the lovely cold water it’s one we can happily live with!
The freezer is amazing. Actually amazing. The drawers are solid, and easy to open even when full to the brim. Can fit so much more in this than my old one, and it’s so nice not to have extra ice all over everything (old fridge freezer just coated everything!). The top drawer has a smaller drawer within it, and my kids have claimed it as their own. It’s the ice cream and lollies drawer, and can get loads of cornettos, magnums, twisters, mini milks etc in at the same time so they always have variety. My youngest is 6 and she can open the drawer and help herself (not sure if this is a good thing!) and she doesn’t struggle to open and close the drawers fully.
I’d fully recommend this to medium / large families as it’s been so amazing; wish I didn’t wait as long as I did to get it!
