Fisher Paykel E522BRXU2 17.6 cu. ft. Counter Depth Refrigerator - Right Hinge

Fisher Paykel E522BRXU2 17.6 cu. ft. Counter Depth Refrigerator - Right HingeI have had this fridge for about four years (the same family of appliances, E522B), and the verdict is that its looks, efficient use of space and small footprint (which is a must if you have limited space) are almost outweighed by flaws that are unforgivable for this price range. First, the

PROs:

Small footprint

Great looks, clean, classy, angular

Efficient use of space

Lots of nifty features and nice touches you'd expect for the price

Acceptably energy-efficient

BUT here come the

CONS:

Dents easily out of nowhere, it's enough for someone to walk by it

It's mechanically unreliable the ice tray quit working years ago, the screen is erratic and either works, works partially or not at all, some compartment doors snapped out within the first six months, etc.

It's expensive to fix, even a service diagnostic call will cost you a bundle

Fisher & Paykel customer service is horrid

Bottom line: if you can find a similar size fridge from someone else, buy it you'll save a lot of money, headaches and frustration. It is a shame really because I really do love my fridge but it's been a thorn in my side for most of the time I've owned it,
