vintage fridge was awarded an A+ in energy efficiency. This is the lowest energy efficiency rating we have ever tested, and it is a good outcome for an appliance at this cost. The 42dB noise score was quite good. It's a bit more loud than other models, but it is far quieter than the earlier refrigerators we've tested that produced 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 is equipped with an LED bulb and an adjustable temperature control. The temperature was steady. The top and middle shelves only differed by just a few degrees each side of the mean, whereas the salad drawer remained at 2oC. However we did notice that it was quite warm in the back and could be a problem in more hot rooms.

Temperature stability was also good for a fridge that was this kind. The top, middle and bottom shelves all maintained an average temperature that was within two degrees either way of the maximum figure. The salad drawer was more variable, bouncing between 5oC and below freezing.
