Key documented points
530L net capacity; 835mm width designed for narrow 850mm alcoves; 5-star energy rating and ThinQ connectivity

Strengths

Reasons to shortlist it

  • 530L net capacity
  • 835mm width designed for narrow 850mm alcoves
  • 5-star energy rating and ThinQ connectivity

These are documented characteristics, not a claim of hands-on performance testing.

Compromise

Who should look elsewhere?

The slim width does not remove door-opening and ventilation clearance requirements; measure the full cavity and access path before ordering.

If that trade-off conflicts with your priorities, compare an alternative instead of forcing a fit.

Evidence freshness

A date should tell you what was actually checked.

This product has deeper specification research. Australian Product Guide separates substantive review from retailer, source, image and price checks rather than collapsing them into one artificial date.
