DUMB smart fridge – Smart- dumb fridge ! Great fridge with a “dumb as “ open door warning.. why would anyone design a fridge to prevent the door from closing , so it can… Read more

warn you the door didnt shut ,, stupid stupid. . The door always stops 200mm open, so you have to give it a second push . A smart fridge would always close !! I would never buy again for this reason only . And it cant be adjusted.

Runs at a loud operating noise level – The fridge keeps everything nice and cold , good outlay but operates at a very noisy sound level. Show details

Replacement of door handles – If you break your handles on your electrolux fridge just order a replacement set from https://www.ebay.com.au/str/motivetronics Really easy fix as it is just two screws.

The team at Majestic provided truly great customer service and were incredibly helpful with all our questions. Put simply it was exceptional service throughout from visiting the warehouse to delivering the fridge. Show details

We’ve had our Westinghouse refrigerator for perhaps 10 years now and granted it still goes but I can’t wait for it to finally stop working so I can… Read more

get rid of it. The freezer draws have completely disintegrated and constantly drop everything on the floor every time It’s opened. Perhaps an example of the lowest cost cheap plastic materials and fittings that seem to be used throughout. I’m really not the type of person to make a report like this on anything but given a fridge is meant to be long lasting, reliable and durable given its use profile and given this one has really annoyed me from so early on I feel it’s worth letting people know my experience so they don’t make the same mistake

Extremely disappointed with my Westinghouse WBE5300WC-R. It completely stopped freezing at just 5 years and 9 months old. The same experience as that… Read more

by another customer: started beeping in the evening, freezer control lights flashing, but I could not find any reason, so switched it off and then switched on after a few minutes. It then refused to freeze, but instead, it heated the fridge. I expected at least a 10-year lifespan, especially since my last Westinghouse lasted much longer. Westinghouse really needs to lift their game. After looking into the experiences of others, I think it’s not worth the effort to get it repaired. I've contacted their service team but have already decided to buy a replacement. This brand and its siblings are off my shopping list.

Disaster - don't buy – We bought this fridge freezer in the UK and had it shipped to Spain. Within 1 year the cooling broke down and F&P refused to honour their 5 year… Read more

warranty as we had moved country. A €500 repair later the fridge was working... for 2 months then it broke down again with the same fault. No cover from F&P or the local authorised repairer. Never again.

Good product but could be improved on – Pros: - silent operation - great size/space - looks great Cons: - no door open beep - door doesn't "fall" closed on its own, making door open beep… Read more

all the more important - can't seem to get it level/stable, so it makes a lot of creaking noises when opening and closing the door (feels flimsy) - outside gets marked/dirty easily

I really wanted to love this fridge - replaced a 10+ year old Fisher and Paykel of similar size. But the old unit was more solid feeling and had the door open warning beep.

The lack of a warning beep and the fact it catches and doesn't easily close automatically, means this fridge is not great for families with children.

Hinges cannot be reversed – Fridge works well. Tried to change fridge and freezer doors to open other way, found hinges are NOT reversible. What do I do now? Disappointed that this was not pointed out when bought. Show details

Excellent product. One thing to note is every 2-3 months vaccuum the fluff from the grills at the back of the fridge to maintain airflow to the heat exchanger. Perhaps this should be included in instruction manual. Show details

5 year warranty – 3.5yrs old Refrigerant gas leak. The Warranty should cover and SMEG have been real professional so far. Will update as this progresses. Update- we received a brand new fridge from SMEG. I can’t fault their warranty, and they were easy to deal with. Show details

No big issues but – January 2022, our 4 1/2-star side-by-side fridge had to be replaced as the fridge-side door had warped. We purchased this Hisense 6-star fridge in… Read more

black and have a three issues with its design. 1. The freezer has no light. This is a very minor issue for us. 2. The fridge door has to be opened almost fully to allow access to the crisper. And this door and the freezer door are very wide. Again a very minor issue. 3. The back of the interior of the fridge is not flat. I guess to allow airflow throughout. However, this ridge down the centre of the back of thee fridge acts as a pivot point for the glass shelving. On more than one occassion we have found one shelf to be only just sitting on the little bracket on one side. The shelf could have fallen onto the shelf below and we would have had a big mess inside the fridge. I have fixed it by putting a number of self-adhesive wedges (Bunnings have them for around $5) around the interior so the shelf cannot twist as much. All Hisense need to do to prevent shelves falling is make the brackets jut out more, cut the glass shelves a bit wider or make the back corners more rounded to lessen the pivoting. Other reviewers comment about noise but we haven't had that issue. Others comment about the basic fit-out inside. Yes, that's true but we bought some containers designed for fridges from K-Mart to organise things how we want. So the basic fit-out has become an advantage

Great Fridge & Freezer – Have had this fridge for almost 7 years now not a problem. Iwould recommend this product good value for the money. Show details

I bought the fridge 2 years ago and the freezer is not working. I contacted the store last year October to see if I can got someone to come and check cause I still got warranty and I haven’t gotten any respond till this day Show details

able to finally keep fruit and vegetables without needing to toss them the following week. It is very spacious and the layout is well-designed. Setting the temperature is done via a dial in the back of the fridge section, which feels a little bit old-school. Initially, this was to be a backup fridge as our large fridge had some serious problems with fluctuating temperatures, but this Mitsubishi fridge is perfect—providing consistent, stable temperatures.

Dies after warranty period – Temperature wasnt working properly and seals were coming away within about a week. Had it replaced and now 3yrs later the temp display has stopped working and food in the fridge has all frozen

Very Disappointing.... Never again – My two disabled sons have just waited 4 weeks to get a part and have it installed in their Beko Fridge which is 3 years old. Spent in total $420 to… Read more

supposedly get fixed. Not fixed at all. Cannot get service person on weekend, hard enough through week as he doesnt respond to calls or texts!! in my home I have Westinghouse and Fisher & Paykal much older appliances and never missed a beat. ADVICE : Highly advise to steer clear of Beko appliances, Spend a couple hundred more and get a reliable brand. $420 is a lot to fork out when on disability pension. Service person advises that fridge may need a new "main circuit", not sure what that will cost for that part. He has offered to waive his labour costs to install this. .

Purchased a month ago. This fridge makes a low hum constantly, but it is not annoying unless you are easily agitated. Seems to work well otherwise… Read more

with regards to interior lighting and temperature consistency. An issue is that the top mount door needs to be manually closed on occassion because it doesn't like to self close unless from a fully open postion (we don't like it slamming shut all the time as it is heavy enough that it tends to pop open the freezer door momentarliy (which is stated as normal in the intruction manual)). Freezer compartment is well designed. Controls are straightfoward and you don't need any online or AI gimmicks to get it working as per your own preferences (which are basic). Is OK on power as we have not seen any power spikes after changeover from previous fridge.

Pros: Great fridge, very roomy, super cold, can customise the temperature for either and both sections. The 3 draw freezer is plenty big enough for… Read more

2 people, I store soup, veges, a.whole bag of ice in summer and rubbish at the bottom. The rotating ice tray is handy. Extendable fridge shelf is useful. Water Dispenser: In summer we add half ice on top of the water and then have blizzardly cold water to drink. (Ice first may block the dispenser). Cons: only a couple and fairly minor. The water box gets dirty quick so I wash it out with hot water every couple weeks. Possibly due to commercial ice as we use filtered clean water. The dispenser will drip to the floor if you take the glass/bottle away too soon. Just a habit I had to learn. Noise: I don't think it's noticeable at all. The inside does seem to have a gentle hum. But hey, it's inverted ... it won't be silent. The motor is on the top of fridge so will be more noticeable by tall people with good hearing.

Had this fridge 6 years. Is now leaking refrigerant underneath. Everything is 8-12 degrees Celsius. Just had to throw away so much food (dairy, milk,… Read more

meat)after doing $450 shop for our family of 5 yesterday Fridge temp was always average, but fruit and veg in the crisper constantly icing over and spoiling. The freezer sliding shelf rails also broke within 12-18 months of usage. Very average quality from what I believed to be the best fridge brand available in Australia. Called Kelvinator /Electrolux and they said for $299 someone could come look at it and repair it but no warranty or guarantees on the work. Time for a new fridge, obviously not a Kelvinator.

Does its thing – If your looking St this model have fcfridge, it's probably because your specifically looking for an integrated fridge. Putting a regular fridge… Read more

in a cupboard, and attaching a front panel reduces the ventilation, and apparently can reduce its life by a third. As such, like us you could arrive at a decision point (probably with a kitchen designer) to a bit if money knowing you'll need to replace the built in fridge in a few years, or fork out a fair amount of money and go truly integrated.

Miele are a trusted brand, are built solid, and do their thing. Ours is vented through the toe key CK, up the back of the fridge, and out through the ceiling. Built in, it looks great.

The cons are:

1. The fridge is smaller than similar models, as it needs a bit of clearance for being built in.

2. The top shelf has the fan unit sticking out. Not a problem, but it does mean you have to avoid putting things like jam in front of it otherwise it gets frozen.

3. The biggest issue is the freezer. The drawers are small, and aren't on telescopic runners so fall out if pulled out too far.

The pros are:

1. The fridge is like a Tardis.with supermarkets everywhere, I really don't see any need for a larger fridge.

2. Build quality, the hinges are super solid.

3. The shelfs have a light bucket in which lights up the fridge really well.

It does seem a lot quieter than the f&p we had. No more clunks or rattles.

Just hit 4 years old and fridge does not cool so had technician and $400 later now fridge does not cool and freezer icing over! Show details

I love everything about this fridge ... except the noise it makes. It's not just the loud hum, but a squealy noise every now and then as well. I more than likely wouldn't buy another the same.

Issues with SICN 3066 integrated fridge freezer – We bought a SICN3066 fridge freezer in April 2008. The unit sat with the kitchen manufacturer for about 6 months after purchase before it was… Read more

installed, but we only used the house as a holiday home till we moved in 4 years ago. We have no backup in the local area so my husband took the fridge to Sydney for repairs as it was out of warranty - it started to beep and the freezer was loosing temp, then the fridge started to act up as well. The repairers stated that it has a Gas Leak and not repairable. Andico gave us the option of replacement at 30% discount - but as we have twin fridges we are rethinking of replacing the fridge. With reading of the problems I'm in a dilemma .

flashing, and the fridge is not cooling at all. I contacted Haier, and they told me that only a technician can assess the issue—but I have to wait 11 days for an appointment! How am I supposed to manage without a fridge for nearly two weeks? This is unacceptable service. A fridge should be able to handle temporary power outages, and even if issues occur, support should be much faster. I’m incredibly frustrated and would not recommend Haier if this is the level of reliability and customer care they provide.

interior rear wall. Gets so serious over a year or so that the draw cannot close, the distributor did not want to replace the unit just keep fixing it until the warranty ran out. Thankfully the retailer Winnings Group have come to the rescue and arranged with the Australian distributor Andico to replace the faulty appliance. Honestly wouldn't risk buying a major appliance any where else but Winnings/Appliances Online. Regardless of the fault would purchase Liebherr refrigeration again in the future.

*****************

This is our second large Liebherr fridge/freezer in 7 years, the first (also reviewed) which was sold with our property. This model has some improvements over the french door model we had, cleaning the dust filter at floor level is much easier, motor noise is quieter and a new extended 5 year w/tee! These fridges seem great value compared to a very similar German and USA luxury appliance manufacturer. Personally I would not buy any other refrigerator. Absolutely love these, they perform well and look great. Overall highly recommend these appliances.

Crisper drawer not keeping vegetables/fruit fresh for longer...the opposite in fact – Crisper is not doing it's job..fruit/veg is going off faster than it should..not sure if I'm missing something..the fridge is fine apart from that but fresh produce should be lasting longer than a couple of days.. Show details
