"We have just got a new kitchen fitted so needed a new fridge to go with it. We had a certain width that we could not go over so looked only for fridges within the range. Of those that we found, this had a large fridge and a large freezer. The doors are side by side. Exactly what we were looking for. It seems to beat others within the size range for space and price, so we took a punt on this one.
Setting up the fridge was very simple.
i easily got it into position myself, and adjused the feet to make it level in seconds. I left it for several hours before plugging in. Once plugged it, it set itself to -18 for the freezer, and 4 for the fridge (the manual states it will be five). I left it for about 3 hours and the temperatures were done.
Loading up the food from our old appliance, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the space was larger than I expected. People have stated that large pizza boxes won't go in. We actually had pizza that night, and the boxes did fit. Large size. Extra large would not fit. Our old fridge is no comparison for the amount of space that this has. We don't eat much processed food (and neither do our pets) and so need to store a lot of meat. The freezer is easily capable in storing lots and lots of meat. The fridge has so much space that we will probably never have it to capacity.
People have said that it is loud? It does hum (like any fridge or freezer that I have ever known) when it sets the temperature after opening the doors but it does so pretty quietly.
Looks-wise, I think it is great. The doors have a lovely, expensive look. The sides are less attractive (a browny-grey), but still look good. If it is in a recess, you'll never see that anyway. Outside of a recess (which is how we have it), it looks fine, anyway.
Overall, I think this is a GREAT fridge/freezer, and at this price, you are not going to get much better.
One other thing - I believe that this was an unused rerturn to AO, as there was a tiny scratch which was not done during the unpacking (I was watching carefully). Also, I think someone had tried to set the fridge temperature as it was not what the manual stated it would be. This really should have been sold as a refurb, but I did get a discount after letting AO know, and I believe that the overall price was fair."

"Product was out of stock when I wanted it so I set up the email alert to let me know when it was available and purchased it then straight away. The slightly slimmer size is exactly what we wanted to go in our new kitchen. Although we've not used it yet, it looks like it's high quality, very stylish and definitely has lots of space. Delivery was great and perfectly on time for when we selected. Only 1 very small point is that the logo on the front is the tiniest bit wonky and my OCD really noticed this!! Luckily we will just hide it with our fridge magnets!! "

"Bought this fridge freezer as we needed something a little smaller than the average American fridge freezer. It is still a great size, has plenty of shelves etc in both sections. Would definitely recommend. "

"I didn't think I would ever be able to get an American Fridge Freezer to fit in my kitchen but this one does. Couldn't be more pleased. It's very attractive to look at, makes very little noise and fits lots of food."

"This fridge has been amazing. It looks great in our kitchen and has loads of room (we did a full shop and it still looked empty ????). The multiple shelves in the doors are really useful."
