Electrolux ETM5200
Verified5 reviews
Great Frig – I bought this 2nd hand ex work frig so was missing a dairy lid presumed broken. Frig and freezer work perfectly. Very economical, uses 1.6 kWh per day or 584.4 kWh per year. At 520 litres this is an excellent score. Sadly they are no longer made here in Australia as Orange production plant shutdown in 2016. Overall a great frig and I have managed to somehow not break the remaining dairy lid.
Purchased in at other for $250.

Average fridge, dairy door breaks easily – Build quality is not good as the dairy door in the door breaks easily. Energy saving and auto defrost means my food sometimes goes off as it not cold enough and i've thrown out food because of this. Service tech came to look at it and said it was normal.

Great Allrounder – After reading a couple of complaints, I want to give a good account. We purchased our fridge in June 2008. It has been terrific. Never had a problem with cooling or freezing. Beer is always cold and icecream is always frozen as it should be. Vegetable crispers keep veges fresh for at least a week or more. reliable, energy efficient, great value for money. nothing wrong.
Poor quality dairy containers – I am disgusted with quality of the dairy containers. I have just broken another one today making a total of 5 replacements. I contacted Electrolux and they did not seem to care. They are costly to replace. I agree with other reviews. If you open the door you must hold it if the container is open. Very poor designd Keeps fridge temperature cool flimsy containers
Bad – I havent had any problems with this fridge except the inside light has gone out and all the plastic door containers have cracked and broken off. Its fairly easy to clean and maintain, but I think if you are shopping around for a new fridge, leave this one in the shop. We bought this fridge thinking it would be useful and efficient to use. It is a large size, but very lightweight and the plastic dividers and lids on the inside are broken very easily. The material is very flimsy and cheap plastic. I opened the fridge door and opened one of the lids on the side to take something out, and when I was placing the food on the counter, the door closed and because the plastic food lid was open, it hit the fridge when the door was closing and it broke. This has happened to both plastic food lids on the door. It was made very impractically.
