Design

Swan Retro is a brand that specialises in attractive kitchen appliances and homewares with vintage designs, yet at a reasonable price. The fridge freezers come in a variety of colors to match any kitchen. Our test model was a subtle pastel blue. You can also pick from green, grey, and red.

The exterior of the fridge is completed 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 is equipped with two narrow racks that are ideal for butter and juice cartons. The refrigerator is equipped with thermoelectric cooling instead of compressors. The refrigerator is quieter and emits only a slight hum.

The refrigerator’s capacity is of 295 litres, with the fridge compartment holding 209 litres and the bottom-mounted freezer supplying 89 litres of storage space. The refrigerator isn’t completely free of frost, and requires manual defrosting at times to ensure it is operating at its maximum. The drawer for chilled drinks is a nice touch and there’s plenty room in the crisper drawer to store fresh veg and fruit.

The refrigerator scored an A+ for energy efficiency. This is the lowest energy efficiency level we have ever tested and is a decent result for an appliance of this price. It was also quite quiet and had a noise score of 42dB. This is still a little louder than some cheaper models, but it’s far quieter than the earlier refrigerators we’ve tested, which tended to make a lot of noise while running.

Swan has kept the design simple which is an advantage when it comes to user-friendliness. The fridge has an LED bulb and an adjustable temperature control. Its temperature was fairly stable with the upper and middle shelves only varying by a few degrees each the other side of their typical, while the salad drawer stayed at a steady 2oC. However, we did notice that it was quite warm in the back and could be a problem in hotter rooms.
