This fridge has been a welcome addition in my household. The temperature can be adjusted on the inside, however be careful with placing it on the highest setting as this will freeze items that are placed in the back part of the fridge. The freezer drawers have castors which make it easy to slide the drawers in and out even if it's filled to the brim. Overall very impressed.

This is my second F&P bottom freezer fridge of this size. The first one lasted 15 years, and was starting to make unpleasant noises. I had no hesitation in buying another F&P. The layout hasn't changed much from the previous model. Energy usage is about half of the previous model (yes, I did measure it!) Quiet, keeps a constant temperature.

I bought this fridge 2nd hand paid $550 7 years ago. Has always wen a bit clunky with the fan but worked well until last week where temp gauge began flashing red in freezer zone. No amount of upping the chill would work - an alarm sounds very loud and non stop which has been tricky for my neighbors as in a flat. As of today fridge not working as I'm searching for a replacement.
I do think I got a good run out of it and if I could afford a new one like this I'd buy it.

No problems so far - only a couple of months - and I am more than pleased with the design and quiet functioning of this fridge.

I've been using the fridge for 10 years. Not bad, On the first year, the problem was the fridge part is not cooling. It was fix under warranty. Now,the control temperature button is flashing red and the fan is really noisy. Though the freezer still working, fridge is not cooling. Most of the time you will hear an alarming noise at the temperature control button. I rang the Fisher and Paykel and they say most likely electronics. I reckon its time to say goodbye.

F&P makes a great fridge. This model has lasted us for over 5 years and I'm surprised by the reviews regarding the noise. Our fridge is quiet and in a studio area near our bed. I wonder if previous reviewers have simply not got their fridge levelled properly. Very happy with the compartments both in fridge and freezer and suits our family of four in a compact area.
suits our compact area and great compartments and reliable and not noisy

This has to be the noisiest fridge i've owned. Would definitely not recommend it. It rattles and vibrates, had to have fan replaced, but now it's playing up again. I wish i hadn't spent the money getting it fixed now, as it had always been noisy, and now it's time to say goodbye.
Looks, and design.
Noisy, not reliable.

In the first six months of ownership, one veggie bin has cracked and the butter holder went the same way as well. Don't get me started on defrosting and the associated noises that emit from this Frankinstein appliance, I just want to store my food safely. Is that to much to ask?
That its a fridge.
That it scares people when its defrosting.

This is a fridge that is ok but not the best value. Best consider the asian products that are better value and more stylish and as reliable. I have been buying F P for some time and now has switched to Samsung. No regrets and saving me a couple of bucks

good fridge, performs well keeps cool in summer, let down by plastic fittings. similar problem with F and P dishwasher
well designed fridge spacious cooling works well
poor quality plastics, fragile breaks easily.

glad that i purchased it, it looks good in the kitchen and hae never had any problems with it and would recommend to others if your looking for a stylish esy to maintain fridge that will definatley hold the needs of the avergage sized famiy, i love the tray they it has under the bottom shelve and above the vege and fruit bins a freshner? works great!
I like this fridge as it fits everything i've ever needed to put into it, its quite, easy to move with the gliding feet, easy to clean and reliable!
don't really think that there are any cons with this fridge

I've had this fridge for 2 years and I really like. I have read some of the complaints of the larger versions of this model and they either don't exist in this model or I've been very lucky so far. This is the smallest upside down fridge from this maker which means no bending over everytime to open the fridge. The freezer is also bigger compared to the equivalent standard freezer top fridge.I have the elegance model of the fridge which has an external steel handle which makes it easier to close/open/clean.
quiet overall. User Friendly. cools evenly. Cleans easily
loud sudden noise when motor starts
