Design

The fridge freezers aren't an exception, with a range of colours that would look great in any kitchen. Our test model was a subtle pastel blue. You can also choose from green, grey, and red.

The exterior of the refrigerator is finished with chrome handles, and an embossed Swan Logo. The interior is sleek, with glass shelves and a wine rack and a drawer that can be used to store chilled drinks. The door features two narrow racks that are perfect for juice and butter cartons. The refrigerator is equipped with thermoelectric exchange technology instead of compressor cooling. The refrigerator is quieter, and only emits a slight sound.

The refrigerator has a total capacity of 295 litres. This includes the fridge compartment having 209 litres and the bottom mounted freezer supplying 89 litres of storage space. It's not frost-free and will need occasional manual defrosting in order to maintain its peak performance. The drawer for chilled beverages is a nice feature, and the crisper drawer is spacious enough to store fresh fruit and vegetables.

We tested the fridge for energy efficiency, and it delivered an A+ rating. This is the lowest energy efficiency level we've ever tested, and it is a good outcome for a refrigerator of this cost. The 42dB noise rating was a good score. It is still a bit louder than some of the smaller models we tested, but it is quieter than older fridges that produced a lot more noise.

Swan has kept its design simple which is an advantage when it comes to ease-of-use. The fridge is equipped with an LED bulb as well as a rotary temperature control. The temperature was steady. The top and middle shelves varied only by a few degree each side of the mean while the salad drawer stayed at 2oC. However we did notice that it was quite warm at the back, which could be a problem in hotter rooms.
