chew@PPLe 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 I'm using my F&P fridge for 4 months, function-wise no issue but I don't see much difference function-wise from the other brands (at parents and in-laws' place) despite the huge price difference. I think I bought it for the brand rather than through data-research on its pros and cons... not worth the extra money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TYM 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 I am using it for many years... so far so good... the only problem that face is the alarm sound when the door didn't close tightly... must make sure the door close tight..Isn't that a "good problem"? It shows the alarm works and telling u to check the doors, saving you electricity.I also like F&P fridge for its design both external and internal. Find that the jap and korean fridge designs not so nice. But my FW say it is ex and should look at the korean fridge technology. But I am quite clueless about all these tech terms like nano tech, plasmocluster etc... Anybody can enlighten?Btw, dun think we will cook often, dun think will stock up a lot of perishables, so are these technology still impt? Most impt is energy saving.

kikapo 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 Wow, seems like F&P is not as bad as wat the salesman says.Sigh, headache , donno which one to buy one. Cos the Mitsusubishi Baby Folio recommended, the functionalities better, but more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Monkey 2 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 kikapo,From what I know, F&P fridge is a very well made one. The part that is notoriously associated with F&P is not the core design, it's the cooling fan. Apparently, the cooling fan is made by a local company, and it's this part that always gives the problem.I bought my mother 2 huge F&P fridges, and specially ordered one in with left opening, so that she can use a pair of them like a pigeon pair. The one with the left opening, direct from Australia is problem free. The other one with the right opening, however had a mechanical fault where the fridge stopped being cold. The service men came and fixed the problem. FOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
