I’m here today to talk about the Lec T5039W, a fridge that I’ve recently added to my list of things I might have bought back when I was at University.
This little gem is a compact fridge freezer. It is literally tiny. But that’s great. If you are struggling for space then this will be a massive help.
If you’ve ever had to share a house with several people, the following complaint might well ring true. You feel peckish, perhaps for a late lunch or early dinner, so you head over to your fridge only to discover that the eggs you bought last week are gone, the milk is half drunk and the cheese has either grown legs and walked away on its own volition or has been scoffed down by a housemate. You question those you live with but no one is prepared to talk. Passive aggressive post-its on your milk cartoon that say “Mine – don’t touch” aren’t getting through.
If you’ve been in this situation you might consider drastic action. A house meeting perhaps, where you will systematically cross examine every housemate in turn in the hope one of them reveals cracks in their story. You become a paranoid wreck, constantly running to the fridge in the hope of catching someone out. On the rare occasions you are able to leave it unattended you hope that the motion sensing webcam uplinked to your laptop might reveal the culprit. All the while you are spending more time worrying about stolen food than enjoying your life as a carefree student. Or is it that just me?
Regardless, in that situation, this fridge offers the perfect solution. To break the mould, if you will. To stick it to the man. To say, “hey housemates, steal someone else’s milk, I’ve got a cheap but brilliant compact fridge freezer in my room!”. Oh my it would have felt good to say that smugly to a housemate that accuses you of taking their brie.
So, if you are a student, I recommend this fridge. If not, then I still think that this fridge is by far the best space saver you can get without sacrificing a massive amount of storage. The fridge has 90 litres of capacity and the freezer 45. That’s more than enough to fit a few eggs and a carton of milk in.
Plus it has an A+ energy rating so not only is it compact and great for a couple or person living alone but it will save you money too.
