New fridge/freezer artived as planned. It was to replace our american style appliance of 19 years. The Haier 3D model is smaller in size and capacity. It takes less space, which allowed us to fit an additional 40 cm wide tall storage cupboard. Appearance is sleek and modern. The colour in listing was described as silver but it is in fact a brushed steel finish on the front door and drawers. To us it's an added bonus, since our other appliances have the same finish. I love that freezer part is divided into two drawers which have separate access from the outside with quite spacious storage capacity. So if you open one drawer, the other one stays tightly closed, retaining the temperature. Lower drawer has a top shallow shelf/drawer for small pieces (such as frozen herbs, ice cube trays, eye mask, etc) with easy access. Fridge is on top of the freezer and of very reasonable space. It is well organised and practical. At first we thought the 4 pt milk bottle is not gonna fit but it was only matter of logistics and storing it sideways rather than lengthways solved the problem. The cool water container is fine, once you get used to it. We even went one step further and filled it with 2 bottles of Pinot Grigio for a garden party. It was a hit with adult guests and yours truly! Another wonderful feature is so called My Zone, which holds a lower temperature than remaining fridge space. It keeps 2 C degrees, so you can store there anything that requires cooling but not freezing. Good for cooling beverages, crisping salads, etc. Very useful in summer season. The appliance is easy to program and adjust settings to your preferences. You can even pair it up with your electronic device and have a virtual access to control the fridge/freezer via Wi-Fi. It is AI devise with extra features such as: Super Cool, Super Freeze, Holiday and Eco Mode. We haven't tried all of them yet but they seem pretty self-explanatory and straightforward. The appliance has economic D energy rating and is very quiet, which helps a lot within open plan living space setting. Overall it is a pretty great piece of essential kitchen equipment. The only downside is that shelves aren't adjustable and are all set at kinda medium hight. I would have loved to have one of the shelves higher and other lower, so that large jars and containers could be stored comfortably. But other than that, very happy with my purchase. ????????????????
