Unable to "assess" when purchased in April 2008, but as we approach "her" fourth birthday, I can not fault the product in any way. No idea on energy consumption, but who does with their white goods?

low maintenance,quiet.

Deep freezer draws

Fridge could be a bit bigger-did not like the bottle rack doesnt look very strong as plastic.

compact but plenty of space inside

none

It's a Bosch; It's NOT frost free (I have had nothing but trouble with frost free freezers); good capacity fridge and freezer for it's size; it's on castors and and has very easy to adjust feet for levelling; good sized drawers in the freezer and easy...

Rather expensive; no lid on the dairy compartment and the freezer drawers don't seem very robust.

Good quality. Solid, chunky build

Only three freezer drawers, and a little expensive.

plenty of room, the glass shelves are a bonus as it make item easier to store, very happy with purchase

the botton freezer draw takes a bit of getting use to opening, but nevertheless, not a problem

Simply seems to be what I was looking for

None, to date

Nice looking model from a renown brand at a good price.

Re-hinging the doors is a pain and needs two people.

Really large fridge

The freezer creates far too much ice crystals taking away some of the freezers capacity
