Great Fridge/freezer for a family
4/5
This is a really good fridge freezer and significantly bigger and hopefully more energy efficient than our previous one. If it lasts as long as that one (c 15 years and only replaced because we need a bigger fridge capacity, not because it stopped working) I will be happy. On the positives, you get a lot of fridge/freezer for your money, although with prices having shot up recently, still a very significant investment. The build quality seems good and AO delivered it with no issues. We like the split freezer that can be independently set to different temperatures. The total frost free system should be a big improvement on the previous one that needed defrosting once or twice a year. Plenty of space in the freezer and a massive capacity in the fridge (main reason for getting it). Deep door buckets give plenty of space and the display is easy to read and easy to use. It is also very quiet on operation, unlike a chest freezer we have, which makes lots of noise (different manufacturer). On the negative, the brushed stainless finish attracts finger marks and the fridge door has a strange arrangement on the left door that provides a sealing area for the right side door. The engineering is neat and means either door can be opened or closed in any order, but it is a little clunky and I do wonder how long it will keep going. I cannot help thinking that just having a sealing strip for both doors down the centre would be easier. However, I understand that this means when the doors are open you get unhindered access to the whole fridge interior. We like it and certainly recommend.
