Fifties curves and a soft touch finish give this Smeg fridge a texture you'll want to run your hand over every time you walk past. Behind the door, the Multiflow cooling system moves cold air right through the cupboard, so the temperature and humidity stay steady from the top shelf down to the salad drawer and warm spots don't get a chance to form.

The Life Plus 0°C drawer is the clever bit, holding a controlled -2°C to +3°C zone for perishables like fish, cheese and meat, which keeps them in good shape for longer than an ordinary shelf would. Rotary controls, LED lighting and chrome finishes keep things looking the part, and the icebox sits up top for frozen odds and ends. One thing to note, you'll need a 175mm gap on the hinged side so the door can open fully, and the 1.8-metre cable gives you a bit of leeway on where it plugs in.
