Ann , Leyland

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: It looks good and is often compared to a SMEG. I love the retro look. I only have a small kitchen, so I tend to keep things that I would normally keep in my cupboards in the fridge.
Bad points:: The only bad point is the icebox. The door is very flimsy and I never know if it has shut properly.

Good points:: i love the colour and style which why I bought it. Works very well as well
Bad points:: Ice cream very soft in freezer even with the recommend temp set - we always set it a bit colder so maybe not as economical as it should be - freezer (ice box) door a bit flimsy

Sarah, Exeter Practical yet stylish

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: It's just beautiftul to look at - I never thought I could fall in love with a fridge! I couldn't have afforded it at some of the prices advertised, but I found an amazing website that provided excellent value for money and brilliant customer service, so make sure you do your research before you purchase this model.
It needed to be practical because we fill our fridge with bottles and cartons, but the added bonus was the design, it looks like an upright classic car - smooth curves in soft cream.. marvelous..

Good points:: looks good
Bad points:: although the 'retro' style is very attractive the door seal is so big that it is very stiff to open - much harder than your average fridge
