Retro design with practical storage
The Emerald Green Matt finish, rounded styling and chrome details give this freestanding fridge a strong visual identity. Inside, glass shelves, door balconies and LED lighting are described as supporting clear organisation and visibility.
With 244 litres dedicated to fresh food, the layout should suit households that refrigerate more fresh produce than frozen items. The 26-litre internal ice box provides space for smaller frozen essentials without turning the appliance into a full-size freezer.
Cooling and food preservation
MultiFlow cooling distributes cold air around the refrigerator, while an internal fan supports more even circulation. The adjustable ventilation panel in the fruit and vegetable drawer is intended to help tailor storage conditions for fresh produce.
The LifePlus drawer adds a controlled zone between -2°C and +3°C. This gives meat, fish and cheese a more specialised storage area and can also help with slow thawing of selected frozen foods.
Noise, controls and room suitability
The inverter compressor is specified to operate at 35 dB(A), making this appliance a sensible option for open-plan kitchens and living spaces where compressor noise can be distracting. The supplied information also describes reduced vibration from the compressor design.
An SN-T climate class gives the appliance a stated operating suitability for room temperatures from 10°C to 43°C. The right-hand hinge should be checked against the intended installation position before purchase, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts.
Who should choose it?
This fridge is best suited to buyers who value distinctive design alongside substantial fresh-food storage and a modest integrated ice box. Its specialist drawer and low stated noise level add useful everyday functionality.
It is less suitable for households that rely heavily on frozen food, as the ice-box capacity is considerably smaller than the fresh-food section. The available product information does not provide further installation dimensions or energy-label details, so those points should be confirmed before fitting.
