Sleek, smart and very cool[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After doing my research, I needed a fridge to fit a certain space, the 498l series 7 quad door was perfect. It is sleek smart and looks very cool. For me, it has not given me an ounce of problems. Fisher and Paykel have always provided me with quality goods at a good price point. I was not incentivised to write this review. It is my honest view of the fridge. There are probably more features I could write about but are the important ones to me.

Another excellent F&P fridge[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my fifth Fisher & Paykel fridge in 35 years so you could say I’m a loyal fan. I’ve never had any issues and they’ve all looked great in my kitchen. This is my first double door fridge and I love it. It looks amazing and It’s a lot easier to see what’s in my fridge. The only small gripe is that it’s also much easier to accidentally leave the door open because of the way the double door mechanism works.

Excellent refrigerator/freezer[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially purchased this fridge as it was the only model i found that would fit into my kitchen's alcove. But i immediately found its layout practical and overall a great looking fridge. It's only downside was that there was a strange loud rattling noise everytime the fridge would switch to cooling. Good news was that i reported this via the Fisher and Paykel website, a service tech came out the next day and the fridge was replaced with a brand new one and the old one removed. The service was excellent and even though i had a faulty model to begin with, the replacement has been going strong for a year and Fisher and Paykel's warranty service really instills me with confidence to buy from them again. I would definitely recommend this fridge for a single or couple as it's size is perfect.

Super quiet quad door[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this quad door 498l fridge freezer! It’s super quiet and looks great . Amazing quality . Lovely draws in the freezer section.
However, this did replace the F&P 494l bottom mount which we literally had one week and couldn’t stand the constant gurgling noise.
Hart and co were amazing to deal with ( Brian ) and stood by their policy of replacing if you’re not happy .

Stylish quad-door fridge[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stylish design, robust and in good size. The drawers and compartments in freezer help to organize food by category yet you may need to pay attention to the drawer capacity when doing bulk purchase. The shelves on the doors of the fridge, due to its French door design, necessary limit the capacity. But all in all, it is a very good fridge and I recommend it!

Excellent fridge, so cold[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this fridge. It has enough space inside for all my cooking desires (and cooked food) and my food keeps so fresh - especially in the vegetable containers - potatoes stay fresh for months (believe it or not). I also noted my fruit stays a lot fresher in the fridge than it did previously in another fridge. The only thing I would say is that it's easy to get fingerprints on (but easy to wipe off) and sometimes the left side of the door doesn't shut unless you actually push it shut (but it also smartly doesn't let the cold escape if you leave it ajar as it has a flap there to stop the cold getting out). If you leave both doors open, it beeps a sound - so not too worried - just need to make sure I close it properly. Can also change temperature and functions with the app. Looks great, lovely finish, glad I bought this one.

Love love love my quad door fridge![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first new fridge in years. It makes me realise how sub-par the old fridge was.
I love the space and how easy it is to organise and keep clean. I adore the six drawers in the freezer. They make it so easy to find things without risking frostbite.
My only criticism is that the external stainless steel surfaces scratch very easily.

A Perfect Fit[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fridge has been a perfect fit for myself and my wife. We each have differing dietary needs and we effectively have two fridges joined together. Three lower freezer drawers on each side, a large divided vegetable drawer and three wide shelves gives us ample storage space. After 18 months we couldn't be happier with our purchase.
