Panic purchase before Christmas!
3/5
Our old fridge-freezer stopped working four days before Christmas. In a slight panic, I had to quickly order another one, so I wasn’t able to do much research. We just needed a fridge as soon as possible. Overall, for the price, this fridge is ok. It will be much more energy efficient than our old one. The two main points I don’t like about this fridge are the low rumbling noise of its motor, and the lack of flexible shelf spacing and fixed shelves on the fridge door. The noise level was rated at only 37 decibels, but the low rumble when the fridge is on sounds similar to the double-decker buses which sit at the bus stop near our house. The fridge shelves give you some flexibility, but not as much as I would like. If you have all the shelves in, you end up with too many tiny spaces. The veggie drawer could be bigger, or it could even have two drawers. Overall, the fridge is spacious enough for two people. If I had more time to decide I should have probably gone for a slightly smaller one, so it wouldn’t overpower our small kitchen quite as much. No issues with the freezer. I look forward to NOT having to defrost it once a year!
