Why are they called, "bottom mount fridge" when they're clearly mounted at the top?
That's always puzzled me…."bottom mount freezer", I'd understand.
Always wondered the same thing!!
Most others call them upside down. Maybe google translate is a bit loose on Korean translation.
Boot loop?

There are some variations of the 450L fridges.
| GB-450UPLE | GB-450UPL | GB-450UPLX | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Consumption per year | 388Wh/year | 341Wh/year | 299Wh/year |
| Energy Rating | 3½ Star | 4 Start | 4½ Star |
I'm wondering if this model is a previous generation fridge?
Yep that was the first thing I checked. This model is not the one that's 4.5 star/299KW/H per year.
It must be an old model they are trying to clear.
Thnx for that, was looking for a energy efficient fridge. your post made it easy for me
Difference in energy consumption per year
3½ Star=388kwh
4½ Star=299kwh
Difference 89kwh/year x 25c/kwh = $22.25 saving per year.
Cost of fridge:
GB450UPLE 3½ Star $679
GB450UPLX 4½ Star $1149
Difference $470
Difference divided by additional cost for power
$470 : $22.25 = 21 years to break even with a more efficient fridge.
Just saying…
@maxi: and if you're paying 25c/kWh after discounts you should probably shop around for a new energy retailer, unless you're in an expensive distribution area.
@Lukian:
25c/kWh before discounts. I did not bother to make the calculations with discount…
More like 21c/kWh with discount which is not bad in QLD.
THAT makes it about 25 years to break even!
That's pretty fast shipping.
Should arrive in time for breakfast tomorrow !!!
