Good value silent FF for households of 2 or less
5/5
First off the usual fast delivery by AO and their team
Needed a new FF as the old one went bang on a Friday, AO is always my goto as the delivery experience is ace, i live on my own and in a small plac there is room for a bigger fridge but that seemed to be a waste of electricity when i do not store much food as prefer fresh. Oddly this smaller unit is more expensive than the larger version.
Fridge Compartment
However a week on and this FF has been great, it's virtually silent, very energy efficient compared to my old model and no vibration. The fridge compartment is big enough for 1 or 2 peoples weekly shop so this works fine with plenty of shelves. The door is deeper than my old fridge so placing 2l water bottles facing the door is fine where as the old fridge would not close due to a bottle being in the way on the door compartment.
Freezer Compartment
The Freezer is tiny and i would think only suit those who dont cook up a batch to freeze. For example a frozen pizza of normal size will just about fit in the middle compartment, a large or Xl pizza will not fit in. The top draw is fine for items not much bigger than a pack of mince, the bottom draw being half depth is good for say 2 bags of ice.
Don't be mislead by the pictures it makes it look like it stores a lot but the items they show are small items
Packing and Setup
The FF came packaged very well and took about 3 hours to get to temperature. No damage at all
Freezer Drawers
This confused me at first as i thought they were damaged, there is a seam down the middle of all sides, however this is not smoothed out and feels like they are cracked. This is on all 3 drawers however the outside of them is smooth and fine so i think it is just a cost saving measure.
Overall a very good FF for what it cost, if you need a small FF then you won't go wrong with this unit
