and there is no drawer stop,
so it comes out completely,
lands on the floor,
spills all contents
and the drawer front snaps off,
and will not refix because a flimsy plastic lug that connects the drawer to the drawer front is snapped.

I have obtained a promise of a free replacement for the second time, (because the thing is less than a year old), but I can see this is going to be a recurring problem.

A bag of grated mozarella cheese burst its contents all over the floor amongst the carriers containing 2 weeks groceries which had just been delivered.

So if you are shopping around for a fridge freezer avoid this one

Yep well, I can see where you are coming from, watch the adverts on Television and the worst designed of all goods is WOMAN, Pads, creams, more pads for different situations, Aspirins, (must be the best contraception going, 'I've got a headache!'), Indigestion tablets, Extra sensitive yoghurts for constipation! Isn't it strange the ad's demonstrate blue periods and also blue leakage, (I'm glad I never took up dancing), no wonder you all need such big handbags. The scrotum may be wrinkley and small but it's the only bag a man needs to carry to get through the day!
