Capacity and cooling
The 70/30 layout prioritises fresh-food storage, providing 343.7 litres in the refrigerator and 137.4 litres in the freezer. That makes it a practical choice for larger weekly shops while retaining substantial frozen-food space.
Total No Frost is designed to prevent ice build-up in the freezer, reducing routine maintenance. MultiFlow fan-assisted circulation is intended to distribute cold air more evenly through the fridge compartment, while the independent internal LED display allows separate temperature control for the refrigerator and freezer.
Useful storage features
The LifePlus drawer provides a dedicated controlled-temperature zone stated at between -2°C and +3°C for foods such as meat, fish and cheese. Interior lighting and organised freezer drawers add practical convenience for everyday access.
A manual ice maker provides an additional source of ice when required, although it does not offer the automation of a plumbed or fully automatic ice-making system. The available information identifies a fixed right-hand hinge, so kitchen positioning should be checked before purchase.
Design and suitability
The glossy Pastel Green finish, chrome details, rounded shape and external handle give this model a prominent 50's Style appearance. Its freestanding design and 706 mm width make it best suited to kitchens with sufficient space and a layout compatible with the right-hand door hinge.
Overall, the product balances statement styling with useful modern cooling features and generous storage. Its appeal is strongest for buyers who value capacity and design equally, rather than those seeking the smallest or most visually discreet appliance.
