    Retro Red Fridge
    I love my red fridge! However a couple of design faults. Twice I have noticed the fridge door open in the morning. It must be firmly yet softly closed shut. If the freezer door is closed too strongly it opens the fridge door...it took me a week to figure out what it was happening. The freezer is compact and I don't mind the drawers but not user friendly as they are a bit clunky. However the fridge works well and certainly keeps food fresh. But make sure you check the doors after using.

    Good Morning, Thank you for this product question at this stage there are no white models available & these are only available in a right hinge model only, the doors and handles are not able to be reversed.
