We tested the refrigerator for energy efficiency, and it delivered an A+ rating. This is the lowest energy efficiency rating we have ever tested, and it is a decent result for an appliance at this cost. It was also relatively quiet and had a noise score of 42 decibels. It's still a bit louder than some of the less expensive models we tested, but quieter than the older models that produced a lot more noise.
Swan has kept the design simple which is an advantage in terms of user-friendliness. The fridge is equipped with an LED bulb light as well as an adjustable thermostat for temperature. The temperature was steady. The middle and top shelves were only a few degree on either side of the average while the salad drawer remained at 2oC. However, we did notice that it was very warm at the back and could be a problem in hotter rooms.
