Storage and cooling
The fresh-food-first layout provides 222 litres of refrigerator space alongside a 72-litre top freezer. That balance should suit households that use chilled ingredients regularly but do not need a large frozen-food compartment.
Multiflow cooling is intended to distribute cold air evenly through the refrigerator, while the LifePlus drawer provides a separately controlled zone stated to operate between -2°C and +3°C. This gives users a useful place for foods such as meat, fish and cheese.
Design, noise and installation
The black 1950s-inspired exterior, rounded shape and chrome details give this appliance a much stronger visual presence than a conventional fridge freezer. LED lighting on both sides of the refrigerator should also make the interior easier to see.
At 34dB, the stated noise level is a notable strength for an open-plan kitchen. Installation planning is important, however: the available product information specifies that a 175mm gap is required on the hinged side for correct door opening.
Who should choose it
This is best suited to buyers who want a statement appliance without giving up modern refrigeration features. Its SN-T climate class also indicates suitability across a broad stated room-temperature range, from 10°C to 43°C.
The left-hand hinge and top-freezer arrangement are defining practical characteristics rather than minor details. Check the kitchen position and preferred storage balance before choosing it, particularly if most household storage is frozen food.
