Mixed Bag. But We Got There.
5/5
This is a difficult one. I’ve given it 5 stars as the one I have is great. Good size, 4.2L Water cooler with ice maker. Both dispensed through the front. 2 freezer draws, the upper having a variable temp setting to function as deep freeze, soft freeze, or additional fridge space. Though the fridge itself is big enough to fit the Mrs in. (No I’ve not tried).
However, this is the second one I’ve had as the first had a fault with the thermostat, meaning the top draw didn’t get cold at all. And the lower freezer flashed up a fault code on the display even though it appeared to work. Delivery was also difficult. Due to its size the delivery guys needed to take the doors and draw front off, and put them back on again. The screws are all in so tight that the screw heads got mashed during this process. So a few days later when the replacement arrived, the delivery guys couldn’t get the old one out and the new one in. So a 3rd delivery/collection had to be arranged with a specialist team.
When the first one was first plugged in the faults were soon identified. The fridge comes with a 2 year warranty so I called the number AO provided. The system sent me through to Hisense who said they would send out an engineer. The first available date was 2 weeks later. This is the service you get under warranty from Hisense for a product not 24hrs old.
So, I called AO. They offered to replace the thing within 2 days. Ok so it took 5 due to delivery issues mentioned above. But we got there.
So in summary. Fridge is great once you get it in and get one that works. If you buy one, firstly measure your doorways so you know it’ll fit. Secondly, buy it through AO. Their customer service post purchase is excellent. Advisers are helpful. Understanding. Easy to deal with. And best of all. They even call you back to keep you updated.
And that’s why I’m giving this 5stars. It’s about the overall experience.
