We bought this Smeg fridge/freezer to replace a similar model purchased in January 2000. This new model has been significantly improved by the addition of a "super cold drawer" as well as a more efficient fruit and vegetable drawer, making it easier to keep foods separate and avoid contamination. The downside of these additions is the loss of storage capacity within the door to the refrigerator where the new style drawers protrude at the base of the compartment. This has roughly halved storage for bottles and also mysteriously resulted in the loss of egg racks for a dozen eggs. Why at least one egg rack could not be incorporated into the closed storage compartment in the top of the door is not clear and this omission is a pity. Moreover, the model is now slightly narrower than its earlier equivalent which means that the bottle rack for storing and chilling white wines etc which fitted the earlier model is too wide for the new model and sadly Smeg do not make a rack to fit this new model. Coupled with the 50% loss of bottle storage in the door, this change is inexplicable and means wine bottles now have to compete with milk bottles. But despite this we are still smitten by our Smeg. We like to eat fresh foods in season and do not store a large amount of frozen food so that the freezer compartment is perfectly adequate and the refrigerator compartment with its 3 shelves affords a large amount of space for storing various foods separately without a lot of undue bending. Our old Smeg had to go because even after a new thermostat some 4 years ago, it was noisily running on 7, largely because of the leakage around the gasket around the door beyond repair. Our new Smeg now gently and quietly hums away on 3 with the gasket fitting tightly. Indeed it seems that we may need to visit the gym more often to develop arm muscles capable of opening the door to the refrigeration compartment with one hand.

Delicious! Has completely transformed and lifted my slightly tired kitchen units and made them sparkle , on a practical level ,much roomier than I was expecting and I could easily fit everything from my big old ugly lump of a grey / silver fridge freezer into the smeg . It’s quiet ,and nice and cold even on the lowest setting . I was tempted to go for the cheaper , Smeg look ones , but delighted that I didn’t and went for the real thing .

Nice and stylish product ,a bit pricey for what it is

This is the most perfect fridge freezer. Style and colour just right for my kitchen.

Stunning piece of equipment and so much space

Very well made lovely looking fridge freezer. The fridge is a good size, much bigger than our previous under counter fridge. The freezer is also bigger than I expected. Only niggle is that the fridge door takes a bit of a tug to get it open.

So super stylish and the colour is amazing … very pleased with my choice - the focal point of my kitchen

Not as good a quality as I expected a Smeg fridge/freezer to be
