zero budget christmas vacation
Anyone got this?
Any good? And if it’s energy efficientI found energy efficiency of the labels to be total bs… I got a similar hitachi model which has 3 stars, but after measuring the usage over a year it came out be about 40% LESS than what was on the label* through normal usage over that period which would immediately place the unit on higher energy rating. Its also worth noticing the actual marked on usage for the rating and see how much that converts to the $ paid over electricity.
Energy Efficiency Class: E
Annual energy consumption AU: 395 kWh
Fairly average review if you go by Choice
Probably better off waiting for a Fisher & Paykel like this to go on sale: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/fisher-paykel-rf…
For those that don't know … F&P (non healthcare devices) are now just a brand of Haier
Does that mean their quality has improved? Used to avoid them at all costs, was just nightmare story after nightmare
do you have a copy of the review?
Absolute madness not buying a fridge in 2024 without at least a water dispenser… Just so handy.
some people don't have plumbing to their fridge, or like my case, i prefer my separate water filter tap
There are water dispensing fridges with tap-filled reservoir bottles instead of plumbing
The ice maker feature is particularly useful, the chilled water is handy as well
There are models that don't require you to plumb anything
…if i'm just going to fill up a reservoir, why don't i just fill up a bottle? same effort, and the bottle can be carried around the house (like put on the kitchen table)
Also, just means there is another thing that can break on the fridge.
I don't know, if someone asked me "do you want more space in your fridge, or do you want a water tap and reservoir", i would pick more space….but that's my personal opinion.
@whitepuma: moreover cleaning reservoir is a hassle. I too didn't like any water/ice dispenser, either plumbed or not.
I am okey with having separate bottles and ice trays whenever I need.
You are right I guess about the plumbing… It's not hard though generally, at our last place we ran the small white tube all the way through the back of the cupboards over to the fridge area.
Just so handy, would be painful to go back now I reckon.
any recommendation for a water dispenser fridge with automatic ice maker?
Looks eerily similar to the Hitachi model i have but without the auto ice maker. But very pricy given it has no ice maker.
Beware that Bosch fridges are some of the lowest rated fridges, of the big name brands. I guess they're made by a third-party or something, and then stamp the Bosch Brand on them…
Canstar rated Samsung really highly.. just google any reviews or customer experiences on Samsung fridges longer than 1 year and you'll rethink your trust in Canstar.
Fair, Canstar can't be trusted alone.
But as another user posted - Choice gave a pretty poor review of the fridge too (43% expert rating)… But you have to pay for Choice to see their review, so I posted Canstar instead.
What do you guys think of this as a comparison?

• Poor food safety scoreCostco doesn't ship to WA apparently
A year ago I bought a Stainless Steel dishwasher SMS4HVI01A/38
3 months later front panel had a patch of corrosion. Took 2 months for Bosch to acknowledge and replace it.
So beware of potential issues. Stainless steel is not as good nowadays maybe due to costs optimisation?
good size u can sleep inside on hot days
