Mitsubishi Electric 442L French Door MR-LX442EX-GBK-A (Brilliant Black)

Ok so is only day 2 but am so happy with purchase- smaller size than last fisher and Paykel but layout so much more functional and everything easy to see and get at. Looks great - was limited by the size of the space I had so unfortunately this is a bit narrower than I would have liked but definitely the best option for my 1800H x 860w space. I… Read more

almost settled for a dark grey one, which would not really work as well with my kitchen, but luckily I thought was weird that only had 2 options for colour, and googled and found Harvey Norman had an exclusive on the black ones- so didn't purchase from my preferred retailer, but was actually a lot cheaper and got it the next day and so glad I got the black. Also spared me from considering the dreaded LG option. Despite the larger space at each side does not look out of place, and fits in with my other black glass appliances (Bosch but all Bosch fridges are 1825 high). I like the idea of having the 2 half shelves option or the one full shelf above the deli compartment, but in reality, with the small size of the fridge, having the 2 half shelves only really a good idea if have lots of short things in the fridge, unless of course you remove one of the other shelves entirely. As a one person household with regular dinner guests, who does a bit of meal prepping, this works perfectly for me.

Ice maker great. I was concerned that the ice box in freezer would take up a lot of space but was surprised that there was still space left when I transferred all my frozen goodies . Love access to the freezer draw -I tend to buy in bulk, freeze and use throughout the month - easy and flexible space and have been able to layout freezer items in organised way which I couldn't do in the drawer layout in the freezer compartment of previous fridge. I have read mixed reviews regarding the vegetable drawer but to me this was a big selling point for me- I like to kid myself that the most frequent access to fridge is for vegetables, so was great having this separated, and again great space with easy access. My raspberries have managed to stay ok and not get mushy or mouldy after 2 days which is good sign - I would like to have more information about optimising use of this drawer - seems you have to wrap items especially those that have high moisture like lettuce etc. Not a great lover of plastic but will be trial and error I guess, to see how best to store different fruit and vegetables.

By far the best fridge we have ever purchased. From the brilliant design of doors, shelving, drawers, to the style and ease of cleaning - this fridge can't be beaten. Well Mitsubishi....
