Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ A strong fit for households prioritising fresh-food storage over freezer space.
- ✓ Suitable for kitchens requiring a freestanding appliance up to 60cm wide.
- ✓ Good for buyers who want a statement appliance with practical everyday organisation.
- ✓ The right-hand hinge suits layouts where the handle needs to sit on the left.
Design and installation
The glossy pink finish, rounded styling and chrome detailing give this freestanding appliance a clear visual identity. Its 600mm width is suitable for many standard kitchen spaces, although the 1720mm height and 728mm depth should be checked carefully before installation.
The fixed right-hand hinge is a key layout consideration. It is best suited to kitchens where the handle position works on the left side of the appliance, and the available information does not indicate a reversible-door option.
Storage and everyday usability
With 294 litres of total storage, the layout prioritises fresh food: the fridge provides 222 litres, while the top freezer offers 72 litres. Two adjustable glass shelves, a covered fruit and vegetable drawer, door storage and a low-temperature compartment provide useful separation for everyday ingredients.
The Life Plus 0°C drawer is intended for lower-temperature storage of items such as meat, fish and cheese. LED lighting, electronic temperature control and a door-open alarm add practical convenience, while the 4-star freezer rating supports longer-term frozen-food storage.
Cooling, noise and efficiency
Fan-assisted MultiFlow cooling circulates air around the fridge compartment to support more even temperatures. The inverter compressor is specified at 34dB(A), making quiet operation one of the appliance's notable strengths for open-plan or frequently used kitchens.
The C energy rating and stated annual consumption of 135kWh provide useful efficiency context. The SN-T climate class allows operation across a broad range of room temperatures, although the freezer requires manual defrosting and therefore more maintenance than a frost-free design.
