About this product
If you're after a fridge freezer that'll keep up with a busy household without hogging too much floor space, the Bush ME55161B is a solid option. It's a bottom-freezer model with a practical split between chilled and frozen storage that works well for everyday use. The fridge section has 2 adjustable glass shelves, a salad crisper, 3 door compartments, and an egg tray, so there's plenty of room to organise your weekly groceries. The freezer sits below with 3 storage compartments that open fully at 90 degrees, making it easier to reach things at the back.
You get a reversible door, which is handy if your layout needs the hinge on the other side, and there's internal lighting so you're not fumbling around in the dark. It operates at about 39dB, so it's not whisper-quiet but you won't really notice it, and it's rated E for energy efficiency. It's manual defrost and comes with a 1 year manufacturer's guarantee. For a freestanding fridge freezer that handles the basics without any fuss, it's a sound choice.

Rizwan
Fridge/freezer farce.
I bought this item a week ago and we were told to leave it 4 hours before we plug it in (which we did) then it should take up to 48 hours to get to the correct operating temperature . We waited and waited and nothing happened as regards cooling or freezing. Only thing that happened was a big bulge on the side of the fridge/freezer. After being without a fridge/freezer for six days a replacement was delivered to us and then we had to go through the same procedure as for the first one (another 2 days fridge less). The new one is working at the moment.
