We love our fridge. We love the look, great conversation piece sitting around kitchen island with guests. Has loads of room for it's compact dimensions, we have 2 adults and 3 teenage boys. It's frost free and super easy to clean. Love the stainless that doesn't finger print, and just wipes clean with a damp cloth, perfect for my busy family. Handle snapped off after 5 years, Fisher and Paykel still replaced it free of charge.
good looks & great value for money.

I brought this fridge before kids hoping that when i had kids it would be great it has lived up to my expectations with being able to store baby bottles and food so it has heaps of room, it has a self closing door, beeps when the fridge is left open for to long and if it remains open it continues to beep non stop and shuts of all lights to keep the fridge cold, it also has a temperture control on the inside so you can keep the fridge at a certain temperture. Their is also a fruit and vege draw with plastic top to seal to keep your fruit and veges extra fresh.
self closing door, beeps if the fridge is left open even if only a little bit, temperture control, fruit and vege crisper, good size fridge..

My handle just snapped in half and customer service is the worst I've ever encountered. They absolutely don't care about their customers and have done nothing to make me feel like they care about their product.
stainless steel easy to clean
poor quality build

Very well designed fridge with excellent dual crispers. Fridge maintains steady temperature in all weather and controls humidity well. Freezer has well laid-out drawers, never gets frosted and freezes food quickly.

I've read a lot of horror stories about F&P reliability and service on this site. We've had one problem, an electronic fault about a month after the warranty expired. F&P service were fine, they came out and fixed it quickly at a cost of about $200. No other issues since. I would buy the extended 3 year warranty for this or any other new fridge.
Compact design.
Quiet.
Crisper drawers.
Electronic door alarm.
Freezes quickly.
The fridge broke down about a month after the 2 year warranty expired, cost about $200 to fix.

Bought in 2004 and only just looked online because I need the dimensions for removalists. Stumbled on this. Some comments are unbelievable. There are probably a zillion of these out there burping and f*rting away in kitchens all over the world entertaining owners happy about its refrigeration capabilities. They are the ones who don't write reviews because they never have cause or desire to. Great fridge.
Trouble free for years. Excellent (as in well organised) storage capacity and reliable.
Sure - it burps, f*rts and rattles but not all the time. Just part of its charm. Really doesn't matter.

We recently (4 months ago) bought this fridge to replace a 6 year old LG and can't be happier with our choice. It's quiet, cools beautifully and doesn't seem to use much electricity - as in our bill is the same even though this is a bigger fridge. The interior layout is great with sufficient height in the door shelves for tall bottles and the shelves in the body of the fridge are well spaced and easy to clean.
Well designed, easy access to everything, seems energy efficient and it's quiet.

Before you buy, please remenber parts are expensive and you will need lots. It is sold by Coast wholesale in BC and they have little simpathy once you leave the store. Not like one of the big appliance companies or retailers that you can talk to and maybe get a little help with your lemon.
looks nice. Loks can be deceving
3 repairs and parts are very expensive

Fridge door dented within a week, ice maker stopped working within 2 years, flimsy crisper unit, I actually threw it away accidentally because i thought it was packaging material. Cost about 40.00 to replace this piece of packaging quality plastic! Husband threw it away accidentally again!! Although a nice looking fridge and practical with the freezer on the bottom, the stainless still shows every single fingerprint
looks good, relatively cheap compared to other stainless steel fridges
quality of materials are cheap. See comment.

I have had mine for 7 years and it has not required any servicing at all. It keeps food cold and it doesn't freeze over. What more do you want?
Reliable, great capacity

Very good quality fridge that has performed it's function flawlessly. I have seen other reviews from people complaining about this model fridge - they must have simply purchased a lemon or failed to set it up correctly.
Very reliable, fits a huge amount of food, freezer very effective and frost free
Nothing - it has been excellent for the last 4 years

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

Bought 5 years ago, broke down 3 times, this last time my repairmen said that it could depend from a lot of things,he suggested to get rid of it.This is my second experience with FP, my washing machine was another waste of money, broke down after 3 years.FP customer care is a disgrace.Never more FP in my home !!!!!!!

Everything from paint peeling to freezer not working properly after 18 months

Finally electrician isolated this appliance as cause of tripping saftey switch the last 2 weeks. Defrost thermostat was shorting. Only 4 yrs old. Cost $85 just to have F&P agent confirm and probably hundreds more to eventually get fixed ( when the part arrives). Not covered under warranty! Beware those of you with noisy fridges coz this will eventually happen to you. Customer care not resourceful interested or sympathetic. Have
initially looked good but coating peeling around handle now despite being meticulously maintained.
major basic functinal fault for a very expensive fridge

I love this fridge, I would recommend it to anyone. Just don't use fridge magnets on the surface, because it scratches!
I love the layout of this fridge. The draw trays glide effortlessly, unlike other fridges we've had where you just had to pull our the plastic boxes by hand. The fridge is well arranged, and has a lot of storage space and options. The extra shallow pull-out tray in the freezer is fantastic, great for storing ice cubes and flat things like pastry or pizza bases.
The bottle-rack takes up too much space, we don't use it. The outside 'smudge-resistant' finish on the door shows light scratches very easily.

We upgraded to this fridge as its one on the only upside down fridges where you can fully extend the freezer drawers, the drawers are also on runners which makes pulling out the drawers while full very easy.

The 'door has been left open' noise is also good as my family is forever leaving the doors ajar.

Overall its a good fridge, does what its meant to do - keep stuff cold or frozen.
Looks good.
BIG with nice and easy to clean glass shelves.
Easy to use temperature setting.
Super cold (if needs be).

We love our fridge. It looks nice, has heaps of room for storage (we never run out of room), it is frost free and easy to clean. Good storage solutions too, like the bottle rack, fruit and veg compartments that you can adjust the temperature to separately. The handle did have a thread in it and it snapped off after 4 years of use, and Fisher and Paykel still replaced it free of charge.
Reliable, energy efficient, easy to clean, looks nice, heaps of storage
