Hitachi Fridges - Any Good?

Shopping around fridges and came across some decent prices on Hitachi French door fridges. Claimed 5 year warranty (similar to Mitsubishi).

Anyone purchased a Hitachi fridge in the last few years? Would you recommend them?

Considering the Hitachi 511L Compact Fench Door model

  • Ive had a mitsubishi fridge for 12 years now, also came with 5 years warranty, i would say hitachi is of similar quality.

  • We bought a Hitachi fridge not quite a year ago. Only 480L but it was a noticeable difference in electricity bills from our similar sized older one (that was bought in 1991 and Australian made).

    Plus
    -looks great
    -Temp holds evenly across most shelves
    -runs quiet

    Cons
    -they are really tall and may not fit in many kitchens
    -the plastic door rails feel flimsy
    -the one drawer fruit and veg is a pain to slide

      I saw what you did there.

  • Looks like only Bing Lee and Domayne seem to deal with Hitachi fridges. No chance of physically looking at one.

  • Hi OP

    Did you end up getting one? How did you find it?
