Design
Swan Retro is a brand that specializes in beautiful kitchen appliances and homeware with vintage designs, but at a reasonable price. The fridge freezers are available in a variety of colors to fit any kitchen. Our test model was a subtle pastel shade of blue. You can also pick from green, grey and red.
The exterior of the fridge is finished with chrome handles and embossed Swan logo, while the interior has a sleek finish with glass shelves, a bottle rack and a handy drawer for chilled drinks. The door features two racks that are perfect for juice and butter cartons. The refrigerator utilizes thermoelectric exchange technology instead of compressor cooling. This is quieter than the usual refrigerators, with only an occasional hum while operating.
The refrigerator has a total capacity of 295 litres, with the fridge compartment having 209 litres and the bottom-mounted freezer providing 89 litres of storage space. The refrigerator is not free of frost and will require periodic manual defrosting to ensure its performance is at its best. The drawer that can be used to store chilled beverages is a nice touch, and the crisper drawer is spacious enough to store fresh vegetables and fruits.
The refrigerator scored an A+ in energy efficiency. This is the lowest energy efficiency that we have assessed and is a decent result for an appliance at this price. The 42dB noise score was good. It's a bit more loud than other models, but it is far quieter than the earlier refrigerators we've tested that produced quite a lot of noise when running.
Swan has kept the design simple and simple, which is great in terms of user-friendliness. The fridge is equipped with an LED bulb and an adjustable temperature control. The temperature was stable. The middle and top shelves only differed by just a few degrees on either side of the average and the salad drawer stayed at 2oC. However, we did notice that it was quite warm in the back and could be a problem in more hot rooms.
Energy efficiency
The SR11010 is a retro classic that is a great addition to your kitchen. The range effortlessly blends the look of a classic kitchen with contemporary A+ energy efficiency.
The fridge freezer is 208 litres and can store 13 bags. It will keep your food organized. The generously sized refrigerator has glass shelves, and a chrome wine rack. The freezer side focuses on fresh vegetables and has an ice-coated drawer. There is a convenient fast freeze function that will quickly chill any new food items added to the freezer, locking in the flavour and goodness.
Despite being a traditional compressor model the Swan is extremely quiet for its size. It measured at 42 decibels when it was running. This is significantly quieter than models that were made 10 years ago and far quieter than most of the fridge freezers on our Best Buy chart.
Temperature stability was also good for a fridge of this type. The top shelves, middle and bottom all offered an average temperature within two degrees either way of the maximum temperature. The temperature of the salad drawer varied from 5oC and just below freezing.
Like the SR11010, the fridge needs an occasional manual defrost but is graded A+ for energy efficiency. This makes it the most energy efficient fridge freezer on our Best Buy chart. It will help keep your electric bill at a minimum.
This is a great illustration of how Swan can provide stylish retro designs at a very affordable cost. The SR11010 is a fantastic design that is available in a wide range of colors. From the subtle pastel-blue we tested, to the more striking red, orange, and pink. It also has the benefit of not having frost and being quiet too. It's a good all-rounder, however you must compare it with other fridge freezers in our Best Buy table to make sure you purchase the best appliance for your home.
