The refrigerator isn't frost free and will require manual defrosting at times to maintain its peak performance. The drawer for chilled drinks is a nice feature and there's plenty of room in the crisper drawer to store fresh vegetables and fruits.

We tested the fridge's energy efficiency, and it scored an A+ rating. This is the lowest energy efficiency level we have ever tested, and it is a decent result for a refrigerator of this cost. It was also fairly quiet and had a noise score of 42 decibels. It's still a bit louder than the smaller models we tested, but it is quieter than the older models that produced a lot more noise.

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 light as well as a thermostat that rotates to regulate temperature. Its temperature was very stable and the middle and top shelves only varying by a few degrees each side by side fridge freezer with spacious compartments of their normal and the salad drawer remained at a steady 2oC. However we did notice that it was quite warm in the back and could be a problem in more hot rooms.

Despite being a traditional compressor model the Swan is quite quiet side by side fridge freezer for its size. We measured it at a moderate 42dB when it was running. That's significantly less intrusive than models from 10 years ago and far quieter than most of the fridge freezers in our Best Buy chart.

This type of fridge also had a good temperature stability. The average temperature of the upper, middle and lower shelves was within a few degrees of the maximum. The salad drawer was more variable, oscillating between 5oC and below freezing.

The fridge also requires manual defrosting from time to time, but it is classified as A+ in energy efficiency. This is the most energy-efficient fridge freezer in our Best Buy chart. It will keep your electricity bills low.
