$1,000 cheaper than the Electrolux @ Masters (after Ebay sale discount), 10L smaller
Damn, I was after a 5 door fridge.
Normally i do not mind Samsung gear but i have had nothing but trouble with their white goods… never again.
Been watching this and the non-sparkling version. Cheapest I've ever seen this one was about $500 more in the very first Good Guys 20% ebay deal… regretted not pulling the trigger then.
Almost bought the non-sparkling version in the last good guys deal for about this price (including delivery)… and again almost bought the non-sparking version from Masters this time round, but they didn't offer delivery.
This price is too good, probably got a new model coming out soon. Bought anyway. Wonder if the wife can get the delivery driver to install it, given I'll be overseas when it arrives. hahaha.
Doesn't so many doors just mean less storage space?!!!
Have the same model (2014) and its great-Good storage.Had it for $2270 delivered including the Samsung cashback promotion. (Didn't post it as a deal as i got it 10% price beat by Masters which they usually don't do for appliances but i think i just got lucky). Highly recommended fridge.
You can pick up the non sparkling water version of this cheaper right now through the Ebay sale through Masters. And get 3.5% ebay cashback

Really? You have easy access to a truck and fridge trolley and a few mates?
Also, Ozbargain way if you want to get 5% off this fridge is pre-purchase Wish e-Gift cards, go into Woolworths/Big W and clean them out of JB Hifi gift cards. Net result, $2358.85 delivered

Personally yeh - but not everyone has that option
Thanks Spackbace! One quick question before I pull the trigger:
What is this?
"Installation
Counter Depth - Yes
Free Standing - No"
Not sure sorry
Not a problem, first page of the manual down the bottom says :"Free standing appliance"
EDIT: Got one! Hope it works as good as it looks. Thanks again Spackbace!
How did you go?
Any gotchas??? Or issues?
@GLO: The fridge was delivered after 2 days!Extremely surprised with JBHifi this time. Two days later they even called me to say that the fridge was supposed to come with a Sodastream cylinder but because of dangerous goods restrictions they said would send it with another courier and on top of that they offered me a $10 voucher for the inconvenience :)
What made me even happier was the fact that it just fitted through my garage access door.
This thing is huge and heavy(160Kg) but I managed to drag it to it's place without problems.The water line installation was a piece of cake.I just bought an aquaport kit from Bunnings and used the t-connector before my existing undersink filter to split the line.When I plugged it in for the first time the refrigerator started working straight away and reached the working temp in 10-15 minutes but the freezer and middle draw were still at room temp! After a quick google search I unplugged the fridge for 30 seconds and plugged it back and everything started working properly. The Sodastream dispenser works really well, it just makes a noise from time to time when it tops up the carbonation but apart form that the fridge is silent.I love the middle draw, it's perfect for keeping raw meat/fish, they last more days without smelling bad,going off or contaminating other foods. The only negative so far is how easy it is to dent the stainless steel finish.My 2 year old son has already made 6 dents on the bottom draw with his plastic scooter :(
My rating is 9/10 so far, and considering the price I got it I would say 12/10!
Nice work! (and tight fit with the garage door!
how long does the sodastream canister last you?
@Spackbace: LOL! I was planning to remove the door frame(if you check the right side I have already removed the cover). I knew form the specifications the fridge was 1 cm thicker than the door but I was surprised when it fit throught the door in the packaging. What saved me was the fact the handles were not installed ;)
Here is the other side view :P
@GregFiona:
Does it automatically at the flavour alsWo?
What is the box width?
I'm thinking of getting one but the end of my breakfast bar to the pantry is only 60cm wide, so I would have to use another entrance to the kitchen.
@GLO: just sparkling water, not flavour added.The box width is pretty much the fridge's width:
Gross Dimension (inc. Hinge & Handle) (HxWxD)
1,777 x 908 x 788 mm
Width
908 mm
Height with Hinge
1,777 mm
Depth with Handle
788 mm
Depth without Handle
726 mm
Net Weight (Indoor)
161 kg
Great price for a great fridge. Had mine for about 3 months. paid about $400 more for the non sparkling water version.
