Versatile Compartment Solution: Enjoy flexible storage options! This quad-door refrigerator equips two dedicated drawers for produce, a Select Case for dry foods or veggies, and a vacuum compartment. In addition, the freezer features a flexible Selectable Zone with customisable mode settings, a standard three-basket/bin section, and an automatic ice maker.

Sleek and Stylish: Upgrade your kitchen’s aesthetic with the Hitachi Quad Door Fridge Freezer’s luxurious black glass finish and flat doors with recessed handles. It also has an aluminium interior and energy-efficient LED lighting to create a brighter, cleaner space.
1 Vacuum means the space where the pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure. The pressure in the Vacuum Compartment is about 0.8 atm, which is lower than the atmospheric pressure, hence, Hitachi considers this a vacuum.

4 Thus also provides a sterilising effect. Combining the properties of Activated Carbon, Zeolite and Manganese Oxide (catalyst), the filter greatly reduces the percentage of odours present over time. Testing organisation: Boken Quality Evaluation Institute. Testing method: Film adhesion method (JISZ2801). Name of processing component: Filter. Sterilisation method: Application of oxidation catalyst to filter. Subject: Bacteria trapped in the filter. Test results: 99% sterilised after 24 hours, achieved using the filter alone.

Jappenese build qualityWhat sold me the fridge was the fact it is made in Japan. The construction of the plastic draws and glass shelves allowed for many adjustments to your particular needs. My model is 5 years old now and still behaves and looks new. No rubber falling off, shelves breaking or the door not quite closing problems unlike some fridges I put up with previously. The fridge motor is a inverter. Meaning it doesn't go on and off at full power but like driving a car revs the motor to just cool or really cools....most of the time it just idles barely running... Running costs are way down. I like having a fridge with glass front doors... Not shiny metal or painted or plastic.. Glass for easy cleaning with no marks or scratches.

Fantastic FridgeWe bought this fridge 2&1/2 years ago and absolutely love it. It's super quiet and hasn't missed a beat! The auto ice maker is worth the fridge's weight in gold, we've never run out. The vacuum draw is great for cold cut meats and breads. We went to buy a fridge that had water and ice in the door, but choose this one because of a few reasons... one being that it was Japanese made and also because we wouldn't lose any room inside the fridge because of the water/ice container.
I can't recommend this fridge enough.

Great fridge 👍🏻We purchased this refrigerator a week ago, and it has fully met our expectations. It offers a perfect combination of reliability and practical features. The design is aesthetically pleasing both inside and out, and it operates almost silently. We were particularly impressed with the ice maker, which does not require a water line, takes up minimal space, and seems more reliable compared to traditional plumbed ice maker solutions.
The only downside is the lack of lighting in the lower compartments (freezer), but this might also be the case with other brands.

Worth every single penny!I bought this fridge about two weeks ago. It’s great! There is so much space in each section and it’s so quiet. The best part is the customisable section which can become a fridge or a freezer. It allows for flexibility and personalisation depending on the family’s need. In our family we use a lot of fruits in daily life, so having an extra fridge section is super helpful. The sections have so much space as well. The shelves are removable and can be cleaned easily. I love the fact that it also has an ice maker. It’s super quiet and makes a lot of ice for parties and for personal use! This fridge is honestly a great buy! Would highly recommend!!

Sleek and functionalWe bought this fridge on a Boxing Day sale just recently. It wasn’t the fridge we originally had in mind, but after comparing features with other brands, we preferred the 638l black French door model. We liked the design and the interior layout. The doors aren’t as thick as some meaning that it doesn’t protrude as far into the kitchen space so that the doors can open properly. The ice maker is internal - it’s easy to use and it works well.
One side of the freezer is multipurpose which gives you the ability to customise for individual preferences, or as needs change.

So many great features[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had this fridge only a few weeks but couldn’t be happier. What we like most about it is the variety of fridge drawers. Though not the biggest of drawers, it fits everything for our growing family. The vac drawer is great and we really love the ice maker for a non plumbed fridge. We moved into an older home and adding fridge plumbing was not on our list of must haves. To find such a functional practical fridge with an ice maker and for a decent price, is great.

Few things can be betterI bought mine 1 month ago, but few things come to my mind. First, the black mirror is really easy to see any marks and finger prints. Second, the selectable zone is amazing, but too big for chill/meat or soft freeze, then make the freezer zone which on the right Conner is too small, ideally I just need one or two shelf are chill/meat or soft freeze, not a whole section, otherwise freezer zone is not enough. Last, the 2 top glasses in the refrigerator seems like can not leave heavy items in the middle of it, it is shaking and feel unsafe or possibly break the glass.
