Good points:: It looks great and is very tall which means that it has good capacity both in the fridge and freezer. The panel on the front door is v. useful as it tells you the temperature and beeps if you leave the door open too long. The Keep Fresh additional is good however I havent used it much but it does come with good strong boxes to store items to keep fresh! It comes with plenty of shelves and the fruit/veg box at the bottom is excellent.
Bad points:: There is a bottle organiser inside the fridge section which can be removed if desired, I have kept in in but it does limit the space available inside.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Just the right amount of area in the fridge for a family of five with easy to access drawers in the freezer section. Freezer sections for ice trays built into the drawer tops is a great way of making ice without using trays spilling everywhere.
Bad points:: Not enough range of height difference between the shelves in the fridge.

Good points:: Overall look is sleek. Interally the fridge is well thought out and makes good use of space. The option to use the 'wine rack' is great. Everything is super chilled and I am enjoying the 'evergreen' portion for salad, although I am not sure what to do with the second box (is it a spare?).
The icecube tray integral to the freezer drawers is a great idea too.
Bad points:: Wish the freezer had more capacity and clearer drawers would be helpful so that you can see what is inside without pulling them out.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: this fridge freezer was advertised at a freezer with 4 four drawers which prompted me to buy this one as my old fridge freezer had four drawers. The fridge section is large and can store a huge amount. I like the keep fresh devices also.
Bad points:: bottle tray on the door does not take six pint bottle of milk with ease had to revert to buying 2pt bottles in instead which makes the shopping more expensive
