Its LifePlus drawer, MultiFlow cooling, electronic temperature control and inverter compressor give it useful everyday features, while the 35dB operating noise is suited to open-plan kitchens.

Design and capacity
The Smeg FAB28RDTP6 fridge is a freestanding 60cm fridge with a strong visual identity. Its taupe matt 50's Style finish, rounded form and chrome details make it a prominent part of the kitchen rather than a purely functional appliance.
Storage is centred on a 244-litre fridge compartment, complemented by a 26-litre internal four-star ice box. That arrangement is well suited to households that refrigerate more fresh food than they freeze, but it will not replace a full-size freezer for larger frozen-food shops.
Fresh-food storage and cooling
The LifePlus drawer is specified for a controlled temperature between -2°C and +3°C, providing a dedicated area for foods such as meat, fish and cheese. A fruit and vegetable drawer with an adjustable perforated panel allows its ventilation and humidity level to be tailored to the contents.
MultiFlow fan-assisted circulation is designed to distribute cold air throughout the fridge compartment. Electronic temperature control, bright two-sided LED lighting and the dedicated produce storage make the interior practical for regular use.
Noise, efficiency and installation
The stated 35dB noise level and inverter compressor should make this a comparatively unobtrusive choice for a kitchen or open-plan living space. The appliance has a C energy rating and an SN-T climate class, with the latter stated as suitable for room temperatures from 10°C to 43°C.
At 1530mm high, 601mm wide and 728mm deep, it needs careful space planning. The supplied information specifies a right-hand hinge, so buyers should confirm that the door opening and surrounding clearances work in their kitchen before purchase.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
