Great Value Entertainers Fridge
So this fridge has changed my thinking on what's important in a fridge.
I used to think just keeping stuff cold and stopping it going rotten was enough.
This fridge certainly is good at that, all shelves have good temp.Trust me, I have checked with an infra red gun.
The vege compartment is also good at keeping vegetables crisp although I do prefer just one large bin with a movable divider as opposed to the 2 bins you get with this fridge. Easier to accommodate long vegetables like celery.
The freezer compartment has sliding rails which do ...Read more

Loudest Fridge EVER!
This Fridge is LOUD! Constantly runs the motor and compressor (even after all trouble shooting), you should not have to have a service on a fridge only 3 weeks old! Save yourself and don't purchase this Fridge. The design of the Fridge is great, except where is the egg holder?? We are at our wits end due to the noise!! We can't fault their other products, just stay away from their Refrigeration.
UPDATE: After 3 replacements on this Fridge (yes 3), twice due to noise issues and one they delivered damaged, this fridge was returned and replaced...Read more
with an Electrolux Fridge - so much quieter, whilst not as big and spacey inside and not the great Fresh Produce of an F&P, it is much quieter and everything else is perfect. My recommendation, if you have an open space where the fridge is going to live (not surrounded by cupboards or walls) do not buy this fridge as you will hear it constantly.Similar opinion?

Perfect for apartment
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
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.

Yuck.....
Since the fridge arrived now 2 years ago I have been phoning and emailing Fisher & Paykel so many times about having to throw out hundreds of dollars of slimy and mouldy fruit and vegetables after only a few days in the trays. Have been ignored then a guy came out and replaced a part at the back of the fridge and said it was bad. Fixed nothing as fridge still faulty. I still keep emailing them over the same problem and guys come out. One told me to put layers of paper towels in each tray to absorb the water. I stopped after a while as I was thr...Read more
owing out lots of soggy paper towels with rotten veggies and fruit. I was then told it would be taken away to get taken apart and checked out. Nothing happened. Contacted them yet again and was told would be expensive as my fridge is 12 years old. They knew that it was only 2 years old. One guy came out a few times and in the end told me to contact the complaints department as I should be getting a replacement as my fridge is not right. I contacted them and of course nothing happened. The next guy who came this week told me the fruit and veggie trays shouldn't be used for them and that's the problem. That's a good joke. This has been going on since the fridge arrived and Fisher & Paykel keep either ignoring me or making stupid excuses. They know it's faulty and should replaced it long ago. Never buy any of their white goods.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Works well,
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
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.
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.

Finally a quiet fridge
We have had F&P fridges for over 25 years. Recently we purchased a Botton mounted E522BRE5 and had to send it back due to noise. The service man did not argue and we received a store credit. We then paid a little extra for an RF522BRPX. It was very noisy. It is the same fridge as the RF522ADX4. We therefore were very concerned about replacing it with a fridge from the same range. However a reviewer pointed out the RF522ADX4 and the RF522ADX5 have significantly different reviews with the latter quiet. So with some trepidation we purchased the RF...Read more
522ADX5. It is a terrific fridge so far and very quiet. It is hard to believe the change in model from an X4 to X5 could make so much difference. The X5 is a much quieter fridge. Thanks to the previous reviewer we seem to have finally found the right fridge.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

So disappointed
Bought our fridge from Harvey Norman the Thursday before Easter when our old beauty died. Delivered that day, so off to a great start. Started losing cooling 10thMay, dead by 13th. Phoned Fisher and Paykel customer service. No techs available for 6days. Lovely bloke came and declared it terminal and ordered new fridge on18th. I contacted customer service am of 19th to stress urgency of quick delivery due to lots of lost food and massive inconvenience. After much pushing told would be squeezed in to today's deliveries. Waited all day ...nothing,...Read more
not even a phone call. Called customer service again late in day, it will maybe get here on Monday, 2 more days of no fridge. Really, you call that customer service? Paid a lot of money and now looking at 12 days no fridge. Bet they don't reimburse either. It's sad, cause I did like my newby. Wonder if they'll give us a free extended warranty. See if they have faith in their product?Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

How I lived without it before?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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?
