Great

published

This fridge is a great size for a family. The freezer has such easy access and has removable tubs to make cleaning and re organising easy. The shelves stay clean and are easy to wipe down. The outside stays very clean and can be easily wiped down with a wet cloth

Perfect for a growing family

published

We had to buy a new fridge because my older son just started to eat with his teenage appetite and I suddenly need so much more food and I needed extra room for everything. This fridge is perfect, it is much more spacious than it looks and the fridge compartment is much bigger than the freezer and this is just what I need, I can store 5 bottles of juice and 3 bottles of 3 little milk on the side door, plenty of room to have 4 loaves of bread on one shelf and still room for everything and anything. I think it takes more than 500 dollars to keep it well stocked.

Very happy with this Fisher Paykel fridge. Fridge is at the top and freezer at the bottom. Opted for stainless steel version which looks good. Large fridge and freezer and has very consistent cooling in all sections. Easy to access the temperature and alarm controls. This is our second Fisher and Paykel fridge and are happy with both.

Roomy, stylish and quiet

published

This is the first fridge with bottom freezer that I have and I am converted. It is very easy to use and love how my freezer is very roomy and organized. The fridge has ample space and delivers amazing performance. It looks very stylish int he kitchen and not bulky at all. The fridge is quiet in operation and I need to check sometimes if it actually is working.

Much better than expected, love the fridge

published

I was initially looking for a side by side fridge, however, after measuring the kitchen fridge cavity decided that RF522 Series Fisher & Paykel would give it a go this fridge did not disappoint. It was initially a bit noisy when first turned on but after a few hours it settled and I can hardly hear the noise anymore. I am happy with the bottom freezer as well it is a very convenient feature when my children get their ice-blocks or ice-cream. The fridge is very roomy and I love it!

Love this fridge,better than expected

published

This is my first fridge with bottom freezer and it is a great idea. I can see that the fridge is very roomy and everything fits. Easter with the family was a breeze and could fit everything that I planned to cook. This fridge is very roomy for entertainment. It is also quiet in operation and the cold air is distributed evenly just like it is described.

Plenty of room for a growing family of 4

published

We are very happy with this fridge. It has plenty of room for everything that we need, the upper compartment is very roomy and the shelves are also deep. We already lots of few items at the back of the shelf a couple of time. The door compartment is very roomy as well and can keep three 3 liter bottles of milk, a bottle of juice and still has space for wine and sauces. The fridge is also relatively quiet and looks also stylish as well.

Great Family Fridge

published

We are delighted with this fridge. We bought it after careful research including reading the reviews here and it does live up to our expectations. It looks very smart in the kitchen and runs quiet as a mouse, which is a huge relief as out our one buzzed like anything. Indie is all modem and white with plastic shelves. Some of them are a bit junky but the micro climate areas are excellent. I also am so happy to have the freezer down below and the food up top. Great purchase.

Very happy with this

published

Excellent fruit and veg keeper - best one in any fridge we have had - keeps produce really fresh
Very quiet and thats important as we live in a very open plan house
Stainless steel shows fingermarks but that is more a housekeeping problem
inside layout simple and very light. Door storage excellent
Freezer easy to use but not a lot of storage space. Good place for ice making and quick freeze

Quiet which was very important to us

published

Some fridges can drive you mad with their buzzing but this fridge is pretty good. Some of the internal parts are a little plasticky and have been discarded. I keep the thermostat at the 2nd lowest 0f 11 levels to keep the fridge at 5 degrees or cooler. Paid 1.5k and seems a good buy to date overall.

Essential cooler

published

It keeps the temperature low enough but not too cold for the fridge room. Good sized drawer for fruits and veggies at the bottom. The freezer is always well chilled. It's been a year and never had a problem.
Considering the size, it is a quiet sounding fridge so pleased about that.
Due to the minimalist design inside the fridge, there's plenty of room and it's very easy to clean.

Almost perfect!

published

First time we have gone for a bottom freezer fridge and we love it.
Plenty of storage for all we need, good lighting so there is nothing hiding in dark corners.
Would have given this product 5 stars if it included a full size wine rack and egg holder for the door.

disappointed

published

We used it for one year. And had to return it because the gas issue. It was really loud. And people from the company also came to check, they reckon we should have change the compresser. I think maybe we were jusy unlucky. I loved the look and top cooling. Big storage space. That was quite sad to return it.

Flexible storage options and a stylish stainless steel finish

published

The humidity control slides in each storage bin create a microclimate that helps keep food fresher for longer. The storage bins gives full access inside when they’re pulled open and can be easily removed to be cleaned. The fridge adapts to daily use by cooling and defrosting only when needed. Therefore, the fridge uses the energy it needs without compromising on food care.

Quiet, modern Fridge

published

This fridge is quiet, spacious and modern. The size has just fitted into corner area perfectly. The stainless steel color is very modern. The internal layout is also very friendly and wide, very good to put cheese, sauces, and all other small containers or pack of things. The temperature is quit optimal and not varies much. No frozen is observed so far.

This is my ideal Fridge / Freezer

Amazing Fridge

published

This is our first new fridge and I was looking for a long time for a fridge to meet our cabinet specs and this popped up and we are very glad we waited.
Fridge has a tonne of room, is very quiet and gets very cold even on the half way coldness setting. Very happy with the recessed handles so the kids don't use it as monkey bars.
Egg holders would be nice but not a deal breaker. The LED lighting is fantastic and very bright. Maybe next time I'll get the model with water and ice but overall very happy with this so far.

A step up from its predecessor

published

We had the previous model of this fridge and it was not great. However we had to replace that with the new model as that was the only fridge that made best use of the kitchen cabinet space. The good news is that this new model is significantly better in terms of usable space, freezer design and de-icing. I'm hoping that fisher Paykel have solved a lot of their quality issues with the previous model, but so far so good.

Very nice fridge

published

This is my first brand new fridge I have ever owned and it is fantastic.
Great features with fast freeze, bottle alarm, easy to use control panel.
The shelves are super easy to clean. The sliding draws of the freezer is really convenient and makes use of the space.
My only regret is that I didnt get a model with ice maker and water dispenser
