I consider it a deal because the silver coloured one, which I was about to buy, is at $699.00:

Plus if you have a $25 gift card voucher from previous Good Guys deal, then the price drops to $654.

Masters have a 318L similar model for $636, with extra 10% it's a good deal. 255L is a very small fridge.
$605 at appliances online for the 255L
$545 with free delivery Sydney, appliance central
Here is the master one, good finding!

Is it acceptable on ozbargain that I change the original post to the appliance central's price?
Too bad the master one is out of stock now.
don't believe what online says. stores are stacked full off fridges at the moment
You would only buy a 255L fridge if you were living alone.
Have a wife and family?. Forget about this fridge.
Good Guys were selling the 500L Samsung fridges for less than this price in the last Boxing Day Sales.
Could be worth waiting for a better deal. Thats not such a good deal.
Just in case you didn't notice, that fridge you were going to buy for $699 is a newer model SR255MLS ($826 at Appliances Online).
The $608 deal you linked is the SR254MW model ($605 at Appliances Online). Amazingly was $398 last year via eBay sale.
It's ridiculous that the price of the same appliance could be A$200 (about a third) more than it's original price of 11 months ago. We get ripped off badly here in Australia.
Not really.
For a bit more coin this is also a great deal

It might catch on fire or something
255L fridge is tiny - basically the next step up from a bar fridge.
OP getting excited about a $40 discount on a $600 item is quite sad.
There should be a minimum 10% discount before we consider something as a "deal".
Yes this is a single persons fridge for sure.
It's smaller than the beer fridge that I use as a single person!
I recently bought a 350 litre just to use as a bar fridge, plus it's handy for frozen pizza storage. It's definitely somewhat too large for the drinks for just me, however I gained a shelf in the pantry cupboard… I can now just store spares in the new refridgerated pantry rather than them staying warm.
This excessive sounding quantity of refreshments is because I am not the kind of person who only buys as needed. I stock up on Schweppes, Coke etc when 1/2 price, and have become used to never needing to worry about not having anything that I need. Storage is a problem however LOL
I have the 240L Samsung fridge which is nowover 5 years old. It's great and my power bill is tiny. Like less than $1 per person per day.
I heard that modern fridges (including those of 5 years ago) of moderate size are expected to use less than 1KWh per day, which should be less than $0.4 per day, which translate to about $0.2 per person per day. This is Internet research only.
Cheaper again for NSW concession card holders.
