AVANTI FFBM920W Bottom Mounted Frost-free Freezer Refrigerator 9.2 Cubic Feet White

AVANTI FFBM920W Bottom Mounted Frost-free Freezer Refrigerator 9.2 Cubic Feet White
  • Capacity: 9.2 Cubic Feet
  • Estimated Annual Operating Cost: $44
  • Your operating costs will depend on your utility rates and use. The estimated operating cost based on a 2007 national average electricity cost of 10.65 cents per kWh.

I have this unit in my apartment, and it has failed 5 times over the past 2 months. Each time, the fan that circulates cold air from the compressor into the refrigerator compartment stops working, causing the fridge compartment to warm up to about 60 degrees. According to the warranty technician, this is a design flaw that is common in these units. The unit is under warranty, so there *should* be responsive service to fix or replace it. Unfortunately, Avanti has terrible service delivery and I have been waiting now almost two weeks for a replacement part that in theory would fix this problem. (Although I can't say I trust that even this will work.)

I highly recommend that you do not purchase this unit if you want any security that your refrigerator actually functions.

Buy AVANTI FFBM920W Bottom Mounted Frost-free Freezer Refrigerator 9.2 Cubic Feet White Now

I realized that that the item is too small. I just do not know if there is a way to return it. I would never buy anything on Amazon -because you really cannot judge before you look. The bottom freezer is fine, but the actual refrigerator is small. I did not buy LG because I expected this one to be large and the one I saw there was actually bigger. It is moderately loud. Still did not decide what I am going to do about it. In Costco you can get a refrigerator normal size for just 399. the problem is that I wanted to have freezer at the botton. Now I need to struggle how I can fit everything there. The refrigerator seems too small even just for one person. I paid for delivery 175 dollars and the refrigerator 450. They say it costed over 1000 and got discount. I wish I saw the previous review before and knew how this refrigerator looks because no store in LA carries those and there is a reason. NO good.
