309735 Sun Jul 16 15:18:02 -0700 2006 5 41 Cookware 0 1747614 I am looking into buying a new fridge and since I live in a small apt. I am looking at the 17.3 cubic ft. size. Anyone have experience with Fisher & Paykel refrigerators? Sun Jul 16 15:18:02 -0700 2006 11538 brooklynmasala 1 1752399 Are you talking about the one with the freezer on the bottom? If so, we just bought one very recently (it was installed last week) and so far so good-we are very happy. It doesn't have an icemaker but we didn't really care about that. It is a very simple design as opposed to some of the others that have alot of specific nooks and cranies, which is something we liked about it. Also it was very reasonable price wise. Any specific questions? Tue Jul 18 21:33:50 -0700 2006 1747614 16610 dimples 2 1756455 I am also looking at that fridge. We liked similar features (great simple design, compact, etc.) but I am hesitant only because of the low rating that Consumer Reports gave it. Salespeople seem to think it is solid, but I really want the veggies to stay crisp in the drawers. Is it keeping things cold? Does your lettuce make it longer than a day? Is it loud? Has it been hard to get used to freezer drawers? Does a head of romaine even fit in the veggie drawer? For others that are still looking - have you found anything size (close to counter depth) and price (under 1500) comparable? Other than an LG, the F&P seems to be the most straightforward thing out there.

They have variable humidity so the fruit can get differing amounts of humididy then the veges. I can see the freezer could be a bit of a pain because you have to open the door and then pull out the drawer, but I'm sure we'll get used to it. I still like the clean design It is staying very cold. Sat Jul 22 19:30:22 -0700 2006 1756455 16610 dimples 1 1753331 Hi there, I am buying a Fisher&Paykel Fridge, bottom freezer.
