Lovely and clean with everything you could need.
Lovely and clean with everything you could need. Only down was there was an awful smell in the kitchen which we couldn't get rid of. Also advertised as a smart TV but all features were unavailable so was a little disappointed as were expecting a cosy movie night with our daughter.
