Compact storage with a practical ice box
The 122-litre total capacity is divided between a 105-litre fridge compartment and a 17-litre internal ice box. That makes the appliance better suited to smaller households, offices or secondary-use spaces than to large weekly shops.
Storage is sensibly arranged for the size. Two adjustable shelves, an additional shelf above the fruit-and-vegetable drawer, adjustable door shelves and bottle storage give everyday items dedicated places. The four-star ice box adds useful frozen-food storage, with a stated freezing capacity of 2.6 kg/24h.
Quiet, straightforward everyday operation
At 35 dB(A), the stated operating noise is low enough to suit open-plan kitchens, studios and office settings. LED interior lighting should make it easier to see the contents, while the right-hand hinge and external handle provide a conventional setup for suitable locations.
The D energy rating and stated annual consumption of 115 kWh offer clear efficiency information for comparison. The SN-T climate class indicates suitability across a broad stated ambient-temperature range, from 10°C to 43°C.
Retro styling and placement considerations
The Union Jack finish and 1950s-inspired design are the main points of difference. This is a fridge for buyers who want the appliance to contribute to a room’s character rather than blend into the background.
Its approximately 545 mm width and approximately 1 metre height help it fit smaller spaces, but buyers should confirm the available clearance and hinge arrangement before installation. The right-hand hinge may limit placement flexibility where the appliance must sit immediately beside a wall or another unit.
