Beautiful and functional

published

Always wanted a F&P for a fridge, finally did it. Works like it’s supposed to. Really quiet, has bottle chill function which is a surprisingly good feature that I hadn’t expected. Looks really sleek and beautiful in our kitchen. It has roller wheels making it easy to move it for cleaning the floor underneath it. Highly recommended

overall great fridge with sleek design

published

Super easy to clean, sleek design and very spacious. We have had no issues with temperature and motor is very quiet. The freezer on the bottom is a decent size and i like the drawer system. The draws are deeper than the other fridges we looked at. Its not a massive fridge but good for a medium size family.

Fantastic fridge

published

The fridge is great. Seems to maintain a constant temp.
With 2 nice big draws and one small pull out tray the freezer is verstile/hold the right amount of food.
The fridge space is great and has more than enough room for what we need.

Onlything I wish it has was a digital LCD temp display. Other than that. Its fantastic.

Best fridge I’ve owned

published

This fridge is perfect being bottom mount every day items are always at eye level. Super quiet, well lit interior and plenty of room with good size shelves in the door. Crisper keeps vegetables in perfect condition for longer than any previous fridges I’ve owned. The recessed handles are great giving a straight forward minimalist look.

Space for everything and smart design

published

I love my new bottom freezer fridge, It is great when you have little kids and they can use the bottom freezer to serve themselves ice-cream. I was worried that the vegetable crisper will be close to the freezer and it might damage the veg and delicate fruit, but no everything works wells and all the products are in their own place. There is plenty of room for everything in the fridge, however, wish that the freezer section had a bit more capacity.

Sleek Look, Even cooling

published

I love my new upside down fridge freezer. The door of fridge has plenty of depth for all size bottles. I especially like how the crisper drawers have a slide out - not more scratching the bottom. The freezer unit with easy access slide out drawers make packing a lot of frozen goods a breeze. The thin middle drawer makes keeping heaps of ice cubes on hand and within easy access very handle for entertaining. Exterior comes up nicely with a clean damp cloth.

Excellent fridge, so much room for everything!

published

When I purchase my Fisher and Paykel Active Smart I was replacing an 18-year-old Fisher and Paykel. Initially, I though that anything would be better than my old 18-year-old fridge. If I only knew that the difference was going to be so drastic, I would have purchased a replacement 5 years ago. I finally have room to store anything that I want and I will never run out of room again for Christmas. I like my bottom freezer and my 4 year- old son gets there all the time to take his ice-creams out independently. I would recommend this fridge to anyone who is on the market.

Excellent fridge. SO MUCH SPACE!!

published

This fridge is very quiet, has a bright interior and nothing gets lot or forgotten anymore. The shelves are fully adaptable to what you need. There is heaps of space in the freezer as well. The fridge stays a consistent temperature and I like the alert to the fridge door being left ajar.

Does the job could of been better

published

Had to get a new fridge in a hurry as the last one burnt out, and we settled on the Fisher & Paykel 519L bottom freezer. This is the first time I have used or brought a bottom freezer, it makes packing the freezer a little easier with the pull out baskets. The fridge part is easy to stack and use the only complaint I have is that the top shelf tend to chill and sometime freeze what is put on there, even after adjusting the temp.

Great value

Bought my fisher n paykel last year. Great efficiency. I saved a lot on my electricity bill. Lots of space. Very quiet. My veggies last longer. Very easy to clean as well. Temperatures stay the same even after lots of opening throughout the day. large freezer capacity also. All in al a great value for money.

Lovely clean lines, great shelving layout, bright interior light, very quiet operation.

published

Just had my new F&P stainless steel F/F delivered and set-up by JBHiFi.
First impressions are: very clean lines, great shelving layout with one more shelf than most of their competitors, runs very quietly, very bright interior LED lighting. Very happy so far, if anything changes I will update this post.
On the downside the ice-maker is the old fashioned tray type, a modern twist-type would have been so much better!

Very pleased, spacious and quiet

published

Very happy with out decision that we chose this fridge, we bought this replace our 295lt Sammie (which was fine but too small). This new fridge uses pretty much same energy as our 295 lts fridge and runs very quiet and has all the bells and whistles. We like the LED lighting and drawers in fridge and freezer sections. Also, this one has a big capacity and still is less the 90cms in width (should fit through standard door and most apartments)

ALARM work when ever I open the dorr

published

Hi,

I bought a RF522BRPX6, 519L BM stainless steel Fridge four months ago after considering so many factors. I am really disappointed, Now it starts to alarm when-ever I open the door. It will last couple of minutes and then lights gone off.This is really annoying. I trusted this big brand and spend a lot of money.

Since it was under warranty, their technical people helped me to fix it. Reason was, one of the magnet was missing during the manufacture. Once it fixed, seems good now

Perfect Fridge

published

I purchased a Fisher & Paykal ActiveSmart™ 519L Fridge/Bottom Freezer from Bing Lee which was the perfect choice, the fridge runs very quite, holds the adjusted temperature extremely well and the sales person was well-informed and friendly giving us advice.We love the door alarm, SmartTouch control panel and Bottle chill mode

1st Bottom Freezer Fridge

published

Have a new kitchen and room for a bigger fridge now. The fridge section has plenty of room, shelves are easy clean, door has plenty of room & 3lt Milk fits in door (my old fridge only fitted 2lt) dairy section is a little to high for me and is not able to be adjusted down, but I can live with it. Crispers are easy to access as runners are smooth. Freezer is excellent and again has plenty of room and the drawers slide smoothly. Stainless finish is very easy to keep clean, just wipe with damp cloth. More expensive than top freezer mounted but I think they are much better and worth the extra. Runs quietly and so far very happy with this purchase.

Second Fisher & Paykel Fridge Purchased. All Good Again

published

We've had an similar older F&P model fridge, which has operated for many years without hiccup. Now bought this one from Home Clearance in Auburn (it has the odd cosmetic blemish, so was discounted) and it all seems fine and functional. LED lighting is excellent for foraging a crowded fridge looking for a midnight snack.
