We tested the fridge's energy efficiency, and it scored an A+ rating. This is the lowest level of energy efficiency we've assessed and is a great performance for an appliance at this price. It was also quite quiet and had a noise score of 42 decibels. It's a bit louder than some cheaper models, but it is much quieter than the older fridges we have tested that produced a lot of noise while running.

Swan has kept its design simple, which is a benefit in terms of user-friendliness. The fridge features an LED bulb as well as an adjustable temperature control. Its temperature was fairly stable and the middle and top shelves only changing by a few degrees either the other side of their typical while the salad drawer remained at a brisk 2oC. However we did notice it was very warm at the back, which could be a problem in warmer rooms.
