The fridge was awarded an A+ for energy efficiency. This is the lowest energy efficiency that we have assessed and is a decent performance for an appliance at this price. The 42dB noise rating was a good score. It's a bit more loud than other models, but it's much quieter than the older refrigerators we've tested that tended to make a lot of noise while running.
Swan has kept the design simple which is an advantage when it comes to the ease of use. The fridge comes with an LED bulb light as well as a rotary thermostat control for temperature. Its temperature was fairly stable and the middle and top shelves only fluctuating by a few degrees on either side of their average and the salad drawer remained at a comfortable 2oC. However we did notice it was quite warm in the back which could be a problem in warmer rooms.
