Hi!
Looking for some oppinions.
We have a 420L Mitsubishi Top Mount Fridge, pushing 10 years old. Brought brand new. IT's lasted us pretty well, going back 4-5 years we did have to replaced the fan that pushed the cold air around, think we paid ~$400 to get that fixed, as the part wasn't common.
Now within the past 8 months we've had the issue of things freezing in the refrigeration section, depending where that item is, which shelf. Typically fruits/vegi's and the odd juice/drink. We've tried adjusting the temp control to raise it however we find that the fridge temp will go >7'C and we're worried that it might compromise certain foods. My wife has written it off as "it's on its last leg, we need a new one"
We've been burnt by a few 2nd hand purchases, so we're leaning towards something brand new. Below are our considerations;
- Volume >500L
- Don't need ice/water function in the door (no plumbing in the spot)
- Good quality
- Price $1000 +/- $200
- Moderate/cheap parts if needing repair
- Colour doesn't matter
- If i can purchase with Shopback, would be a bonus (maybe goodguys?)
I guess my trouble is I just don't know enough about the brands and don't trust sales people to give me the honest truth.
Any help is appreciated.
I've bought an LG and Hisense fridge in the last 12 months.
LG - worked as advertised.
Hisense - massive bump in power usage.
