FANTASTIC FRIDGE!!!

published

Purchased for $2100 over 9 years ago. Still looks clean and stylish, is extremely quiet, efficient to run and easy to organise. Not 1 problem with it since new and the brushed stainless steel design means that after all this time there is not 1 scratch either. Will get another F&P when the time comes. 5⭐️

Awesome Fridge

published

Great fridge with heaps of practical storage space. Perfect for small fridge space and a great alternative to a double door. High quality and well designed. The space in this thing is deceiving, once you put your food in you realise how much usable space there is. Nice and quite too. Love this fridge.

only lasted 10 years

published

I really liked this fridge as the inside was arranged well and it was easy to clean. I liked the smudge proof finish and grey side. However, it only lasted ten years and I was told it wasn't worth it to repair (coolant had leaked out). Definitely should last longer.

Great product

published

Easy access. Lots of space. Great lightning. Very quiet . Keeps foods at perfect temperature at all times.
very easy to clean. good freezer capacity and well-organised freezer drawers and bins.
Will stick with same brand and type when new one needed.Electricity bill also went down once this fridge was purchased. Just one warning. Plastic bins are fragile and can split/break easily.

Fridge burns out

published

I bought a Fisher & Paykel Fridge in 2007 for $2229 and I just noticed a funny smell. Well, I guess the motor burnt out,everything in the fridge has a black soot over the food and I guess I will have to throw it out. I will contact them tomorrow and see what they say. Surely that kind of a fridge should not only be save but last longer for that price!

Best Fridge Ever Owned!

published

Love the ease with which you can clean the stainless steel fridge!
Temperature works very well, drawers easy to wipe out.
Never had a problem after 5 years still going strong- great storage areas- well thought out.
I have the E522BRX and think it runs very quietly compared to all my other fridges.
Timing beeper is great when the door has been left open by the kids!
Highly recommend.
Stylish. It works without a hiccup 5 years on!
Smaller compartments at the bottom to separate fresh foods!

This fridge was a great look but only lasted 3 years. I had the usual loud cracking noises coming from the fridge late at night.
The controller board has died almost 3 years to the day. This results in the fridge staying at 16C and the freezer perfect. Would never buy F&P again, beware!!
Looked great and plenty of room in this model
No quality, thin metal skin was prone to even minor dents

Very pleased so far

I intended to purchase a different fridge at a wharehouse sale. The F&P E522BRX struck me, however, as a much better choice (both in terms of looks and functionality) than the heavily discounted Samsung. Low ratings in these reviews had me worried when I got home, but so far I have been very pleased with this F&P fridge. Nice features, good use of space, and it is whisper quiet like my Bosch dishwasher. Time will tell how it holds up compared to my 16 year old Frigidaire, but at this stage I can honestly highly recommend the F&P E522BRX.
Whisper quiet, good use of internal space, slideout trays, stylish design.
Could be less stubby (i.e. a bit taller and a bit less wide)

ActiveSmart E522BRX (Stainless Steel, Right Door)

Hi,
I bought this fridge about 3 years ago. I have been very pleased with it ever since.
An alarm would sound to remind you that the door hasn't been properly shut but recently, as soon as you open the top door of the fridge it begins to beep continuously until you touch the active smart button inside the fridge or until you shut the door. This is abnormal. How can I correct this?
Regards

ActiveSmart E522BRX (Stainless Steel, Right Door)

Does this model have a limiting pin to stop the door opening wide and limiting door opening to 90 degrees? Thanks If not can I purchase one that will be compatible.

No.
Fridge doors usually need to be opened wider than 90 to allow the shelves to be removed.
