Best Fridges / Refrigerators

This fridge is next generation, really good ice maker system, so easy to use with no plumbing required. Excellent layout and easy to clean. The extra… Read more

features including the veggie drawer with the special light to extend the life of the veggies and the hot dish freezer plate etc,etc. The reason I purchased this fridge is the technology of the second to none cooling system and all the features bundled into this fridge. Well done Mitsubishi.

Failing just outside warranty – Fridge is just over 5 years old, so just out of warranty. Door flapper failed twice in the less than 12 months. Service technician told us likely… Read more

relay/motherboard issue that is causing them to fail. Contacted Mitsubishi, who came out replaced door flapper and faulty board despite being out of warranty. Technician also sent us a replacement door seal as ours had a small amount of tearing. Great company that stands behind their products.

How do i change temp? I have looked all inside bottom and top and found nothing? Is it on the water system? Please help me if it is on the water system I think i messed it up Show details

Disappointed, but it looks nice from the outside! – Have always highly recommended this fridge to everyone in the Facebook groups I'm in. We have an issue with the seals (which seems like a common… Read more

fault), and despite Harvey Norman ringing their representative and him assuring us it would be under warranty, Mitsubishi have said nope, sorry! Won't be recommending it anymore. I don't see them taking accountability for their design fault so I would hate to persuade someone to buy this expensive fridge and then be in my position in 2 years.

Very nice fridge, full width shelves for easy pizza storage. It does fit nicely in the fridge spot but needs room on the sides as the doors need… Read more

about 75mm on each side to open. Auto defrost is a little noisy. Sounds like it has a dialup internet modem included. Freezer has door pockets which is rare from what I've seen on other brands, very handy for small packets. Will definitely buy again when the time comes.

Average - door closing and sealing issues – It’s good in many ways, however like others here I find that things at the very back of the fridge will freeze which is annoying. Also like others,… Read more

sometimes when the fridge door closes, the pressure from it makes the freezer door pop open but only a few mm - so sometimes you may not notice, and it’s not enough to set off the open door alarm, so they freezer will defrost or get condensation in it. Also it doesn’t auto-close itself! All fridges I’ve had in past if you leave open, the door will start to pull itself shut. This one doesn’t do that. It stops before fully closing and again - it’s not closed so letting cold air out, but it’s close enough that it doesn’t set the door alarm off. Frustrating!

Love this Fridge – Bought this fridge in late November 2021 from Harvey Norman after our 27 year old Westinghouse side x side suddenly died. Didn’t have much time to… Read more

research but came to Product Review to look at real owners opinions. This Mitsubishi fridge was a clear standout - loved the layout and the idea of a separate crisper drawer and the non-plumbed ice maker. We paid $2900-, down from the listed $3299-, including delivery and disposal of the old fridge.

We knew from the reviews that the left hand door flap could be an issue, and from the first week, it was - flap constantly popping open, despite us always using the hidden door handle to open it. Arranged for Mitsubishi to repair under warranty (they were very responsive).

The repairman replaced the door flap as the spring was now not functional. One key thing he mentioned is that when these fridges are delivered, the installers are supposed to remove the very thin long plastic strip on the inside of the door flap which is there for shipping purposes only - but they never do so the strip pushes the spring out of alignment and the flap pops out. It would be good if Mitsubishi perhaps had a tag on this strip advising it needs to be removed upon installation.

Things we love about this fridge:-

- Great functional size - French doors provide wide shelves for platters etc. Shelves are somewhat adjustable - we removed the egg tray from one of the door shelves and took out the top shelf on the LH side so we could have room for more tall bottles. The bottom shelf on either side readily takes 2 x 3L Milk jugs. - The Ice-maker is easy to use and works brilliantly. - The Wide-chilled drawer is handy and the Super-cooling drawer really keeps fresh meat fresher for longer. Drawers are a little wobbly but so far pull out and in fine. - Freezer size is more than adequate. We kept the old wire freezer baskets from our old fridge and 2 fit quite neatly in the new fridge meaning you can separate stuff and just pull out the basket as you need, rather than rummaging around in the big bin. - The separate crisper is great and most vegetables seem to stay fresher for much longer than our old fridge - up to a couple of weeks +. - Glass front does not show fingerprints - so sleek looking and easy to clean. It’s not magnetic so have had to find somewhere else for our fridge magnets, although the fridge sides are magnetic. - Hidden controls in the glass door are easy to use. - The 5 year Warranty and 4 Star Energy rating are unique in the market. - It is super quiet.

Things we don’t like:- - Nothing really. Were having some problems with Lettuce wilting. The repairman gave some advice that because the crisper is a drier environment to keep fruit and veg fresher it can dry out moisture rich food like lettuce more quickly. It’s best to always store lettuce in plastic (we were using mesh bags). He also said it’s best to store veg in the RH side of the crisper as that is where the air from the fridge enters first and it flows left (it is slightly warmer). We keep our flour and rice in the other crisper bay.

FaultCode20 Flapper Heater - Wire broken! The fridge beeps 20 times (exact) when opening the door for this fault, the code is also shown on the… Read more

diagnostic display (see graphics how to read that one).

What I did to repair: Remove the cover at the bottom of the flapper (1 screw), and you see a pair of wires going to the bottom end of the heater built into the flapper. Turns you can pull down the heater - pulling it down just a little makes it much easier to disconnect the plug. Once disconnected, I measured resistance of heater as 38ohm. Odd, because other sources (including AI and youtube videos) suggest it should be 15ohm...

Next I remove the cover at the top of the left door - there you can unplug the connector, and access the wire going to the heater. A paper clip slides nicely into the end of the connector (both top and bottom end), and I was able to confirm that one of the wires has an open circuit with my multimeter. Pulling (hard) on that wire reveals where the wire is broken.

I removed the flapper (first remove the spring), and then you can see where the wire comes from: from behind the door seal (see photo). With the wire separated at the break, I pushed some heatshrink over one end, soldered them back together, and moved the heatshrink to cover it up. That fixed it! (fingers crossed this lasts the remaining life of the fridge)

Final comment to Fisher & Paykel: the flimsy thin/poor quality wire is pre-programmed to fail eventually, as it has to make the 90deg move of the flapper every time you open/close the left door.

Good fridge – Good fridge only problem is handle wear, pretend chroming is wearing off where people grab.

Vibration & inverted handle fault – Good fridge freezer but has a few faults. Water and ice maker, although a little noisey has always worked well. 1 - random vibration after a couple… Read more

of years is very loud. 2 - cup style handles in the doors are a fault - any liquid accidentally split in these does not drain but does somehow seep through and rust the outter lining surrounding the handle. The handle should be inverted.

Like the fridge, but reassembling it after cleaning is IMPOSSIBLE! Looks good, works well, is nice and quiet. BUT, if you take anything out of it and… Read more

then try to reassemble? A nightmare. Yes, there are videos and instructions. The videos are poor quality, too fast and ignore or skip over essential bits. A power failure happened while I was away and the freezer had to be taken apart to clean. I discovered later that F&P ‘do not recommend’ that you do this. What you are supposed to do when you have a freezer part full of tomato gunk that defrosted, ran everywhere inside and then refrozen is ignored. I had to finally get a technician in at considerable expense to do it, after I and others had spent enormous time and effort trying to follow the skimpy instructions. I am now stuck again, dammit, after the veggie containers needed to be thoroughly cleaned. I simply canNOT figure out how to get 2 little plastic clips back and into their places and nothing will work until or unless I do. It’s enough to make me buy a new fridge and no, I won’t be buying F&P again. Pity, I was a long term customer until this fridge. Terrible.

For cheap price I give 2 stars, otherwise 1. Ours lasted 4 years until the design flaw created a refrigerant leak. I would suggest everyone check theirs, rusted through. Why wouldn't they just use copper tube here. Shelves are also brittle Show details

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.

I came across the reviews here after I'd already ordered this fridge, and obviously became quite concerned about the stated loud whine it emitted… Read more

from the compressor. Anyway it was too late to cancel the order, so went ahead and hoped for the best.

While I certainly don't discount the experiences of others with this fridge, my experience does not match theirs. This fridge is whisper quiet. You need to be standing right next to it to hear that the compressor is running. I've had it installed for five days now and there is no sign of a whine of any description. It is within about five metres of my living space so I certainly would have heard it. I would also add that this model, like many Mitsubishi fridges reviewed (by Choice and others) is all quality. It looks and feels solid and built to last. It's an excellent fridge.

This fridge was purchased as a factory second, so I was lucky to get a great deal - about $700-$800 discount at Home Clearance. A small ding in the bottom drawer, which is hardly noticeable.

9yrs on and still going strong.So quiet & remains a consistent temperature throughout the fridge & freezer. Easy to clean inside outside. I use Hillmark steel clean for the stainless steel. Show details

than renew! Repairman said it very common with this frig. So just hope the replacement (similar) model will last longer than 6 years. prior to it failing the performance was ok, keeping drinks quite cool was the main function.

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.

Westinghouse fridge - Not made to last – Nice looking fridge but looks are worth nothing when a compressor on a 4 year old fridge dies. The warranty for the compressor component is useless… Read more

as the labour cost are huge, so effectively you are forced to by a new fridge. The Westinghouse/Electrolux customer service I experienced was the worst I have ever dealt with. Terrible communication and zero empathy. I will never buy Westinghouse or Electrolux again as they belong to the same group and are useless. The products cost a lot and don't last. Not long before my fridge died, my Electrolux microwave died just outside of warranty and I had the replace that too. Clearly they are not making anything to last anymore. All I can say is stay away from Westinghouse and Electrolux!

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

purchased this fridge less than five years ago, and it has already broken down—well before the warranty has expired. That in itself is unacceptable… Read more

for what should be a long-term appliance. What makes this worse is the terrible service I’ve received trying to get it repaired. I contacted the repairs team and have been repeatedly put off, with no real sense of urgency or accountability. I’ve now been told I have to wait three weeks just for a repair to be organized. Not completed—just organized. I’ve explained multiple times that this is a fridge, a basic household necessity, and that we can’t go without one for weeks. They clearly do not care. Their attitude shows a complete lack of respect for the customer and no understanding of how important timely service is when it comes to appliances like this. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience, and I would strongly caution anyone against buying this product. Poor build quality, and even worse after-sales support. Avoid.

This fridge/freezer has done me and my young family well for 4 years. Woke up Friday morning to find the freezer was not cold and icypoles/ice creams… Read more

had completely melted and fridge section was not cold either. Lucky had a very freezer in the shed so got that out and cleaned and most of the meats, etc placed in there. Moved majority of fridge items into 2 esky's and have had to purchase ice. Unfortunately contacting Westinghouse/Electrolux customer section only to be advised that they could not do anything and that I would need to get it repaired/assessed. Not professional and when you pay a large amount of money for a product that should last at least 10 years if well looked after and cleaned. Unfortunately been the end of the week after calling a dozen technicians earliest I could get technicians out was not until Monday or paying very expensive call out fees for the weekend. A couple of technicians after discussions advised that this particular fridge/model has had many issues and I would be paying close to 1000 minimum whether it was electrical, compressor, leak, etc with labour, call out and parts. they recommended it was best just to purchase a new fridge. Went and did that Friday afternoon but earliest I could get delivery for a new fridge in Adelaide was Monday.

After the majority of reviews I have seen, I would recommend that this product does not last for what should be a lifetime of 10 years, especially with cost of living. Will be looking at contacting Consumer Affairs about this.

After an extensive search, I was thrilled when I found this Westinghouse Top Mount fridge/freezer to replace my similar 28 year old Sharp fridge.… Read more

This one is more superior in design, functionality and appearance, just hope it matches the life expectancy of my old fridge.

This fridge is fantastic value considering the quality and features, such as: - the brushed stainless steel finish, worth the extra cost for its elegant look and easy cleaning. - very spacious interior with a generous height between the adjustable clear glass shelves that enable placing various sized containers or food items anywhere and still be easily seen wherever they are. - functions efficiently throughout without freezing any food placed at the back of the fridge. - being handles free, the fridge looks seamless and there’s no risk of handles breaking off. - no annoying alarm if the fridge door is left open for longer than the manufacturer’s deemed correct time. - brilliant operations – no noise from motor running, doors close gently, large crisper glides smoothly, generous bottle and container compartments. - the rear rollers make it easy to move the fridge for cleaning or placing it elsewhere. - the 2 year warranty is peace of mind and shows the manufacturer’s confidence in the product.

After two months of use, I love everything about the fridge but think it would have been helpful if there was lighting in the freezer section as well but not a deal breaker for me. Feedback from my friends and family has all been very positive.

Buying from AppliancesOnline couldn’t have been easier with next day delivery, the special sale price of $1,241 included cost of delivery, free connection and removal of my old fridge. The delivery guys kept me fully informed about arrival time, they were friendly, courteous and when finished, they took the packaging with them. I highly recommend AppliancesOnline and have and will continue praising them to my friends and family.

call centre in The Phillipines just said sorry sir its out of warranty. Not interested in helping. Unfortunate experience as our last westinghouse fridge lasted 16 years.

One of the drawers inside can be split which is great for storing bigger items like a Christmas ham etc Show details

Compressor has inverter technology as well. Cost wise is a tad more than the other manufactured in China brands including F&P and Westinghouse and its made in Thailand but it is well worth the extra cost after our experience below.

We would gladly choose Mitsubishi again especially after our recent encounter with Mitsubishi Electric's (ME) customer service. We had been using the fridge for over 2 months before we noticed a small crack on the interior surface of the fridge compartment next to one of the lower shelves before noticing a few other smaller cracks in similar areas next to the other shelves. We were a bit worried since it was more than month down from the delivery of our fridge we would have had trouble with claiming warranty. Our concerns were quickly diminished with the way ME handled our claim

Gave Appliances Online a quick call and we were referred to ME promptly.

ME sent out Daniel and Lawrence to have a look at the damage the week after our call. They asked a us a few questions about the fridge and put our minds at ease immediately, saying the damage was definitely not our fault as it would've taken a lot of force to cause those cracks from their experience. He immediately put in a warranty claim. A week later, we just had the new replacement fridge delivered by Daniel and Lawrence straight from ME and the whole process was done with minimal hassle or inconvenience.

Thank you Daniel and wonderful customer service from ME. You have a customer for life for your brand.
