Fantastic low-cost E-rated Fridge-Freezer
5/5
I made sure I picked a new fridge freezer that had the same footprint as the old whirlpool it was replacing. So the Electra slid smoothly into the cabinet with no problems at all.
Yes, it is smaller than its predecessor on the inside but it is not unduly small. I like the freezer tray. Now there really is a place for the ice-cube tray and a couple of pizzas! But it is a neat layout. Plenty of shelving options in the fridge and the raised height of the milk holder in the door is not the problem I imagined. It is true that you can no longer fit wine or large bottles of cola in the door. The raised height of the milk tray means there isn't enough remaining height but that's with only with the middle gallery shelf in place, There is enough if you remove it.
The fridge and the freezer are getting down to the right temperatures, my fridge and freezer thermometers tell me. In fact, the coldness of items in the fridge tells me my whirlpool was dying over a longer period of time than I realized. Everything is now so much colder.
There isn't anything I dislike about the Electra. There is ample freezer space for a small family and barely any difference in fridge space. The layout is good. The glass shelves and plastics are sturdy enough. The central position of the light is great. It's frost-free and quiet as a mouse. Considering the price you really get a lot for your money.
