Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ A strong fit for households prioritising fresh-food storage over a large freezer section.
- ✓ Suitable for open-plan kitchens where the stated 35 dB(A) operating noise is important.
- ✓ Well suited to buyers who want a statement appliance rather than a conventional-looking refrigerator.
- ✓ The left-hand hinge can work well where the kitchen layout requires the door to open from that side.
Cooling and food storage
The 244-litre fridge compartment provides the main storage capacity, while MultiFlow fan-assisted cooling is intended to distribute cold air evenly throughout the interior. Electronic temperature control gives the user direct control over the cooling setting.
The LifePlus drawer offers a dedicated zone between -2°C and +3°C for meat, fish, cheese and other delicate foods. A separate fruit and vegetable drawer includes an adjustable perforated panel, allowing ventilation and humidity to be tailored to the contents.
The 26-litre internal ice box is useful for occasional frozen storage, but it is not a substitute for a full-size freezer.
Design, operation and everyday practicality
The glossy orange finish, rounded forms and chrome detailing give this fridge a strong 50's Style character. Its 60cm format keeps the footprint familiar for a freestanding refrigerator, although the overall height and depth should be checked against the intended installation space.
LED light strips on both sides are specified to illuminate the interior clearly. The inverter compressor and stated 35 dB(A) noise level should make it a considered option for kitchens connected to living areas.
The left-hand hinge is a key installation detail. The available product information also states an SN-T climate class, covering room temperatures from 10°C to 43°C.
