The exterior of the fridge is adorned with chrome handles and embossed Swan logo, while the interior has a sleek finish with glass shelves along with a bottle rack and a handy drawer for chilled drinks. Inside the door, there are two racks that are narrow perfect for small juice and butter cartons. The refrigerator utilizes thermoelectric exchange technology instead of compressor cooling. This makes it quieter than normal refrigerators, and has only a an occasional hum while it is in operation.

The total capacity of the refrigerator is 295 litres. The fridge compartment holds 209 litres while the storage freezer that is mounted on the bottom holds 89 millilitres. It's not frost-free and requires periodic manual defrosting to ensure optimal performance. The drawer for chilled drinks is a nice touch and there's plenty room in the crisper drawer to store fresh fruits and vegetables.

We tested the fridge's energy efficiency, and it earned an A+ rating. This is the lowest energy efficiency that we have 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 is still a bit more loud than the less expensive models we tested, but it is quieter than the older models which made a lot of noise.

Swan has kept the design simple and simple, which is great in terms of the ease of use. The fridge has an LED bulb and a rotary temperature control. The temperature was extremely stable with the upper and middle shelves only changing by a few degrees on either side of their normal, while the salad drawer was at a steady 2oC. However we did notice it was quite warm in the back which could be a problem in more hot rooms.
