OMG this fridge is everything. I am so glad I got this because it looks absolutely fabulous in my mad hatter kitchen. The retro design is a full‑on statement piece and honestly puts every “new tech” fridge to shame. I never wanted a fridge with an app or a screen or anything that beeps at me and this fits the vibe perfectly. It works beautifully the cooling is consistent the shelves are easy to adjust and the whole thing feels like it was built to last. 🧵 Details That Make It Incredible 💚 Retro Statement Piece Gorgeous pastel green with that iconic SMEG shape ❄️ Fast Freeze Drawer Works really well… maybe too well LOL 🧊 Deep Storage So much room you could lose leftovers for weeks 🪟 Adjustable Glass Shelves Easy to move and super sturdy 💡 LED Lighting Bright and clean without being harsh 🇮🇹 Made in Italy You can feel the craftsmanship 📦 Smooth Delivery Heavy but handled well by the delivery team 📸 Real Life Use The fast freeze drawer is no joke. Here’s your learning curve: do NOT leave anything in there you don’t want turned into a solid block of ice. LOL it works amazingly but you have to stay on top of it. And OHHH it’s deep. Being on the shorter side with little arms I can already see the “science experiments” that might happen in the back if I don’t keep up with cleaning. 🧠 Final Verdict This fridge is more than I ever expected. I thought I was getting a refrigerator and instead I got a giant beautifully made super‑insulated functioning art piece. The value the craftsmanship the performance—everything is top tier. It’s heavy so don’t expect to move it often and definitely measure your space because this bohemoth is bigger than you think. Worth every single penny 💚❄️✨

I love this refrigerator. I am a foodie through and through, and having a refrigerator that works as well as this one is a dream. There are some issues, but they're small compared to the benefits. First, let's talk about the fast-freeze drawer. If you want to chill drinks fast, have ice cream that has to stay at a low temperature, or just want to freeze 'anything' fairly quickly, this is the drawer for you. We love frozen fruits, and I can freeze them then serve them lickity-split. Word of warning: don't leave things in there if you don't want them to be solid blocks of frozen 'whatever.' Just freeze it, then move it to one of the other drawers. This doesn't have a built-in ice maker, which is great for us since I don't have a water connection, but it does have ice trays that can be frozen and then tipped into an ice holder below. Very convenient for us. There are two freezer drawers that are separate from the flash-freeze section. From first glance, they don't look like they'll hold much, but I've been able to fit in as much as we need (including frozen pizzas) without a problem. You'll likely need a separate freezer if you want to store frozen foods. The refrigerator section has a few quirks, but most are easy fixes. First, there are three glass shelves that are movable. The only issue is that there isn't much room for taller items, even if you remove one of the shelves, so I've had to store more in the door than I usually do. That's okay, though, because this refrigerator (and the freezer) has amazing insulation. Usually, I'd warn against keeping milk in the door, but the even temperature of this refrigerator has been able to keep our milk at a great temperature, even with it being inside the door. The door is another wonky storage space. It has four sections to hold food, but they're so close together that it would be impossible to hold most condiments with all four in place. I removed one, and that did the trick. As for the milk, just don't open and shut the refrigerator repeatedly and it'll stay perfect. I think my favorite part of this refrigerator is the vegetable drawer. There are slides to control how much air goes into the compartment, so you don't have to worry about foods freezing. There is also an Active Ion feature in the refrigerator itself that cycles and cleans the air to keep everything at the best quality possible. I've never had salads last past the "best by" date, and this drawer is so incredible that I currently have a salad in there that's two weeks past that date and still as crisp and fresh as it was the day I bought it. That blows me away. The drawers in the refrigerator section aren't super deep, but there is still plenty of room because they go back so far. Two issues I've had: one, when the refrigerator was delivered, the box wouldn't fit through my front door, so it was unboxed and moved in with a dolly. Don't do that. The bottom section is a little fragile, and the refrigerator is super heavy, so the metal that covers the compressor on mine is bent out of shape now. It hasn't hurt anything, but don't risk it. Make sure that even if it has to be unboxed before it's brought in, it still sits on a pallet. The second issue, and this one is truly annoying, is that there is an alarm that goes off 2-3 times a day. My refrigerator is level, the floor is level, and I close the door with both hands and push it, and the alarm that tells you the door is open still goes off several times every day. Most of the time, I can press hard against the door to make the alarm turn off, but sometimes I have to press the temperature button at the top to turn it off. In the long run, it isn't a huge deal, but it's definitely an annoyance and something that I haven't been able to find a better fix for (even after checking on forums, joining groups, and searching my heart out on the web). This refrigerator works better than I ever thought a refrigerator could. Being able to store food and know that it'll stay safe is a luxury I didn't realize I was missing. Having a built-in air quality controller is a dream that I also didn't realize I was missing. The flash-freeze drawer is one of my favorite things about this refrigerator, but to be honest, every part of this refrigerator is one of my favorite things. The short distance between shelves in the body of the refrigerator and in the door aren't ideal for most American buyers since our condiments and food containers tend to be a bit taller, but just remove one in the door, and the refrigerator, and you'll be fine. As for the value, I'm not sure yet. I would say 100% yes, just because of all of the benefits and truly amazing features this refrigerator has. If compared to how much money I'll save in the long-run for being able to keep food fresh longer, I haven't done the math. Honestly, I don't think I want to or have to. If you have the means, this is an incredible purchase. I would order it again in a heartbeat, knowing what I know now about just how well it works. So for value, I guess it really depends on how you'll use it, what your family needs are, and if the perks make you happy. They make me really happy. I love this refrigerator. One final note: no matter how big you think this is, it's bigger. Truly. Measure your space. Double measure even. I ended up with 1" of clearance at the top. I'm also fairly short, so I have to keep everything on the top shelf of the refrigerator pulled toward the front because it's so tall, but just get a step stool, and you'll be fine. Seriously, though. Measure measure measure. It's really big.
