Storage and cooling
The 244-litre refrigerator compartment provides substantial space for fresh food, with a separate 26-litre ice box for limited frozen storage. Multiflow cooling and an internal fan are intended to circulate cold air evenly, while electronic temperature control allows adjustment through the side thermostat.
The LifePlus drawer adds a controlled zone between -2°C and +3°C for foods such as meat, fish and cheese. Automatic fridge defrosting should also reduce routine maintenance compared with a manually defrosted compartment.
Design and everyday usability
This is a freestanding appliance with a white 50's Style exterior, rounded detailing, chrome-trimmed interior elements and an external handle. Its retro appearance makes it a focal point in the kitchen, although the right-hand hinge should be checked against the room layout before purchase.
LED light strips on both sides are designed to improve visibility inside the compartment. The inverter compressor is stated to operate at 35 dB, which should make it a comparatively unobtrusive choice for an open-plan or frequently used kitchen.
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.
