NOT AN ICE BOX OR FREEZER - INCORRECTLY ADVERTISED!!!
2/5
This fridge advertised "with ice box" is incorrect. I noticed within 2 weeks the ice box was not freezing my ice or other frozen items, instead I noticed watery ice and a build up of thickening ice. After removing the ice, the next day the fridge developed a nauseating chemical smell, the rest of the food in fridge became warm to the touch, and the ice box still would not freeze. I spoke with the manufacturer Fridgemaster, and was advised that ao.com have incorrectly advertised this as “with ice box/ There’s also an ice box, so you’ll have plenty of ice cubes for a refreshing evening cocktail or juice on the rocks ”. The ice box compartment is actually called “fresh zone” and is only designed to keep fresh food cool, needs to be consumed within 3 days, operates at around 0 degrees, and cannot go to minus 18 degrees (standard freezer temperature). I ended up defrosting the fridge, throwing up expensive meat, seafood, chicken and freezer items, putting towels down to avoid floor damage. Thankfully Ao.com have listened to my feedback and are arranging a replacement smaller fridge freezer. I appreciate the support from customer services. Please only buy this item for use as a small compact fridge and NOT ICE BOX OR FREEZER, as it does not do this. If in doubt check the instruction manual. Ao.com please amend the advertising so that future customers are not misled.
