Perfect for apartment

published

Perfect temperature to maintain all types of food in the fridge. Spacious and shelves can be easily rearranged to fit different sized items and for cleaning. A minor dent when the fridge was delivered but it was sorted out really quickly.
Ice and water compartment were an excellent choice especially if you like to entertain.

Great fridge for a small space

published

We were looking for a small fridge that would fit our space that had ice and water and were left with only a few options. Luckily, the 519L was a perfect fit and everything works as described. The fridge is nice and quiet and as all the shelves are glass it is easy to maintain and clean.

Works well,

published

Temperature control is good. Relatively evenly spread throughout compartment.
One mechanical issue with in when delivered, but sorted quickly by F&P.
Easy to clean not too many nooks and crannies to get into.
The Freezer drawer is a little clunky in that is doesn't slide freely, you need to keep pushing it.

Good fridge

published

This fridge is very quiet and easy to clean. The ice making machine does make a sound when it's unloading the ice and filling it with water but otherwise it's very quiet.

Only problem with the fridge is finding an accessible place to mount the water filter as it is an external filter.

Living up to the salesperson's spiel.

published

Since purchasing the Fisher & Paykel 519L French Door with filtered water & ice maker it has lived up to all expectations in quality such as the freezer runners strong enough when fully loaded, the fridge being soooo quiet, the convenience of the internal layout holding so much and also the convenience of filtered water and ice at your fingertips. Simple just hit the button for topping up the ice.

How I lived without it before?

published

I am a happy owner of Fisher and Paykel Active Smart French Door fridge. I have purchased it 6 months ago and I am very happy with the purchase so far. I can finally fit my deserts and make plenty of home made jelly for my kids! I believe that this fridge is perfect for a family of 4. IT keeps my food for longer and very fresh, I can buy more and save time at the supermarket

Best Fridge that I ever had

published

Best Fridge that we have ever bought and we just couldn't ask for anything better,

The fridge maintains good temperature and foods can be kept longer and fresher.

There are a lot of compartment and the space is wisely designed and we are able to fit more things into the fridge.

Good looking well designed fridge

published

Very good fridge. It is sturdy and seems resilient in spite of many openings and closes. It is very quiet and maintains an even temperature in all compartments. The only issue so far is the bottle chill light flashing and beeping for no apparent reason. We haven't used the bottle chill feature and yet it still flashes every few days or so. It is very easy to clean.

Best Fridge I've Owned

published

This fridge has plenty of room and with the double doors it's easy to put large platters on the glass shelves. There's also plenty of room in the deep doors for milk and drinks and the adjustable shelves are easy to clean. The fresh food drawers also hold all my fresh fruit and vegetables. The freezer drawer is large enough to hold all my needs. I would highly recommend this fridge.

My wonderful Fridge

published

My new fridge freezer is wonderful and I love it. The size is great and all the compartments work very well. The freezer is great. the dairy compartment works very well and the butter comes out spreadable every time.The outlay is wonderful with the correct amount of space for everything. I love the vegetable crisper as it keeps my Fruit and vegetable so fresh and tasty. All in all a wonderful buy.

Good, but disappointed in the dribble from water dispenser

published

Overall, we are happy with the fridge. It's is very convenient to have the ice maker and water dispenser. We have had to train the kids to keep the glass in place until the water stops pouring. It is frustrating when guests pour water and water ends up on the floor. We had a F and P technician come to see it and he said it is normal, even though I have seen another F and P fridge that does not have the problem.
Otherwise, the doors are handy and well positioned. Is a pity that both fridge doors need to be open before the drawer can be opened.
Disappointed that we are told to buy a new water filter every 6 months-at $81 each. First catch of water could be colder- seems a waste to have to pour a few glasses before it is very cold.

Very happy

published

Only bought the fridge this month and so far its working very well. No more frozen eggs and lettuce. Very quiet and looks good. We had limited depth and height in our fridge space and this model although wider was not as deep and high as other brands. Fitted into the space with no issues.

ICEMAKER PROBLEM

published

Ice maker did not work, apparently the mechanism had dropped preventing the two freezer drawers to lock in place. Complained to Fisher & Paykel customer support - "sorry can't get anyone there for approx 10 days!" F & P Service not good enough. Complained to Harvey Norman who agreed to replace the Fridge. ASAP.

ActiveSmart RF522ADUSX5 (Stainless Steel with Ice & Water)

Fridge professionally installed. Ice being made, but zero out of the water dispenser. Have depressed dispenser for 2 mins+ to remove air, and checked hose is not kinked, and the tap turned on (note, ice being made so no problem there). Why is the water not working at all?
