"The ice maker is too small and fiddly and takes up too much room, have taken out and used normal ice cube trays.Not a lot of time to load shopping before alarm goes off."

"I bought this fridge/freezer to replace a "garage fridge/freezer" in my garage - just needed some extra space as the grand-kids are starting to require food storage at our house and I wasn't going to resort to making the beer go warm again! I didn't want the chilled water feature (because I drink cheap supermarket stuff which is stored in this very fridge/freezer) and the ice machine would be never used, I prefer to use cubes from the freezer itself. The product noise does not bother me, because I only tend to hear it when I go into the garage to get something chilled or frozen! The anti-frost in the freezer works very well though, some of the stuff that got transferred was hoary but within a fortnight the hoar frost had gone, so dehumidifying works very well. Likewise, there has been no sign of any moisture in the fridge compartment either, although it does look to me that the cooling elements are hidden behind a cover (in much the same way car engines are hidden beneath a plastic cover). The light-strips up the side of each compartments are, in my opinion, an excellent feature - no more will that kilo of cheese block the light from the single bulb!!
Capacity-wise this fridge/freezer has plenty - the contents of the old unit looked lost inside this which was good, because the kitchen fridge and freezer were both starting to get congested - now they are nice and airy with all the duplicates stored in the garage fridge/freezer.
Temperature is easy to control via the front panel, and the few features this device does have are easily changed there. Having an eco mode is reassuring, but I suspect that they all have them. There is also a boost feature, where you can have the fridge/freezer put some extra effort into chilling, if you've just filled it with the weekly shopping.
In terms of looks, it's tall and white, and the control panel is silver with a nice white text on it. It's not jay droppingly beautiful, but then it's a shape that won't likely look dated in a couple of years, as something with curves and swoops and stylising will do.
If I had anything negative to say, it's that the doors are quite resistive when being closed (don't expect to be able to just flick them closed with a gentle touch, but we're all getting used to having to pay attention to closing the fridge door, which is no bad thing!) and I would like the front panel to show the actual internal temperature, as well as the target temp (although that's likely just a feature of a more expensive model, and definitely a luxury rather than necessity).
Overall, I'm very happy thus far with this fridge/freezer. I don't see the point in spending twice the money just to get a brand name, because they're all pretty much the same core parts and build quality these days is such that even the lower priced brands are far more likely to have parity with their counterparts when it comes to lifespan. I would certainly recommend it if you are on a budget - there are some luxuries that simply aren't worth doubling the price for and this fridge/freezer does a perfect job of chilling and freezing lots of food.

"Looks great in my kitchen, very modern design. Everyone who sees it says it's very stylish & love it in white gloss. Loads of space, only had it a couple of weeks but works absolutely fine & it's not noisy at all. Really pleased with my purchase and I would definitely recommend. "

"My fridge and freezer both packed up at the same time, so rather than buy 2 new products I bought this. So far I am very pleased with it, plenty of fridge space, but I may struggle a bit for freezer space."
