Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Wine rack very useful. All glass shelves means plenty of light throughout, hence easy to find things. Very well made.
Bad points:: Slightly irritating alarm which goes off if door open too long, but I am so slow at getting stuff out and putting stuff back that it is always going off. No way of increasing the length of time before it rings, but I suppose I won't forget to close the door.

Howard, Lincolnshire I hate replacing appliances!

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Very solidly made. Good door storage (can hold plenty cartons of milk as well as lots of fruit juice). It's very quiet (especially for a frost free model). Door handle design makes opening doors very easy and doors very straightforward to swap from left handed to right handed operation.
Bad points:: Don't really need such a large wine rack.
