Great Value – Had this fridge for six years strong, It's good value and does the job! Never had to do any servicing or repair, and only issue is probably the capacity as it's a smaller size fridge but plenty for 3 people. After six years the exterior and the interior look as new!
Perfect ! Love it ! – I bought this fridge nearly 6 years ago, discounted, as floor stock from Harvey Norman, and I love it. I never had any problems. Just be careful that no corners of plastic bags enter the grooves of the fan box and gets in contact with the fan of the freezer; otherwise the fan stops and this can cause problems. It's now 2022 and I still have this fridge, after a huge fight with F&P to have it fixed instead of sending it to bottom of the Pacific ocean.
Purchased in at Harvey Norman for $800.

Terrible – Bought this second hand, but it is a relatively new fridge which should still be giving good bang for my buck. Unfortunately things just aren;t made like they used to be. A clean looking fridge that is taller than it is wide - white exterior. The freezer works well, unlike the fridge. It doesn't work properly. Ice builds up on the panel at the back of the fridge interior, causing the thermostat to malfunction. The food goes off. We have had to regularly defrost the fridge, then it works for a couple of months until the same thing happens.
Good – This is a very good compact fridge and good value for money. We only had to set it about halfway to get it cold enough where as some compact fridges you have to turn it right up to get any decent cooling power. We also owned a F+P 240B and found that it was more suited to us since we dont need as much fridge space. It has a larger freezer and vege bin but smaller fridge, with the fridge at the top but otherwise its pretty much the same.. depends on what you want. But both were very good fridges and we had no problem with either. Works well

Good – I bought this fridge when I lived in a city apartment with only a small space for a fridge, I was a single person and this fridge fit the purpose. Now we have outgrown it (with only one child) so definately not suitable for a family so we will need to upgrade soon. But it has been great with no issues. Small narrow fridge that will suit small kitchen spaces. I have the stainless steel model which is really nice looking. It has been moved once to a new home and has worked perfectly the 4 years I have had it. Very small - only suitable for a single person or couple at best. Freezer space is very limited. temp settings are very very cold and can freeze food that is placed at the back of the fridge.
