The exterior of the fridge is completed with chrome handles and an embossed Swan Logo. The interior is sleek and has glass shelves as well as a wine rack and a handy drawer to store chilled drinks. The door has two racks with narrow sides that are ideal for juice and butter containers. The refrigerator utilizes thermoelectric exchange technology instead of compressor cooling. This makes it quieter than normal refrigerators, and has only a a gentle hum when it is in operation.

The total capacity of the refrigerator is 295 litres. The refrigerator compartment can hold 209 litres while the bottom-mounted storage freezer provides 89 litres. The refrigerator isn't free of frost and will require manual defrosting on occasion to ensure its performance is at its best. The drawer for chilled drinks is a nice addition, and the crisper drawer has plenty of space for fresh fruits and vegetables.

We tested the refrigerator for energy efficiency, and it delivered an A+ rating. This is the lowest energy efficiency that we've tested for and is a great performance for an appliance at this price. It was also relatively quiet and had a noise score of 42 decibels. It's a bit more loud than other models, but it is much quieter than the older fridges we have tested that made a lot of noise while running.

Swan has kept its design simple, which is an advantage when it comes to ease-of-use. The fridge comes with an LED bulb light as well as an adjustable thermostat for temperature. The temperature was steady. The top and middle shelves only differed by a few degree on either side of the average, whereas the salad drawer remained at 2oC. We did notice it was quite hot at the back. This could be an issue if you live in a hotter room.
