This is a budget fridge. Forget the RRP it most commonly retails for low $400. At that price it's very favourable compared to the competition asking $500 for a sub 200L fridge. Yes it comes with only 3 door bins and no deli compartment. That's why its 60L larger than the competition for less money. It's also a compressor not an inverter fridge. My previous fridge was a Haier 220L in similar configuration. The increased size of this makes a real difference to a tiny 200L fridge. The freezer is eye level and the fridge compartment feels at a more natural height. I was happy with the Haier for 10yrs but eventually the door bins broke and then it became a real pain as there was nowhere in the fridge to stand a bottle of milk. So that got junked.

In the category its in, single person's fridge at a budget price it's the best value for money out there. If you want a fancier fridge with all the trimmings prepare to pay $600+ for a fridge. I compared both smaller and similar fridges in the 300L range. I came back to this because the price differential was huge. I'm happy to lose the deli compartment (which I always found a PITA in my old fridge anyway) for the price cut.

The days of cheap, massive fridges are over. We don't get a lot for our money but I paid around the same for this fridge as I did for my Haier when I bought it in 2015 and got more fridge. So it's a win for me. If you are the kind of person that likes to store 100 half used jars of stuff in your fridge, and need the useless egg shelf and an ice tray that twists into a bucket, you probably need to buy something else. It 'might' do for a small family if you don't do a lot of cooking but otherwise it's really best suited to single/couple household.

Purchased in for $429.
