While the fridge was repaired and has been working well for nearly three months, I thought it would be a good idea to replace it after twelve years of service.<\/p>\nGradually, we have been replacing the various devices in the house with more power efficient devices so the Panasonic\u00a0NR-BY552XSAU refrigerator looked like a good choice. Its inverter technology is the key to potential power savings as it regulates how much power the motor requires to chill the contents based upon your usage habits and the environment (including if the lights are on in the room, the room temperature, internal temperature\u00a0sensor\u00a0and how often the door is opened).

Anyway, aside from the larger capacity of this new fridge, its Vitaminsafe technology claims that the blue and green LED lights inside the fridge mimic the sun to keep your fruit and vegetables fresh longer than a regular fridge. While we don’t keep lots of fruit and vegetables lying around in the fridge for long periods of time it will be good to see how slower consumed items fare. The fridge also packs in an anti-bacterial and deodorising system using silver to combat mould and bacteria<\/p>\n

Perhaps not something you check out everyday but something I thought worth sharing nonetheless. A while ago our Fisher and Paykel Q E442B fridge suffered from some\u00a0unscheduled\u00a0maintenance\u00a0after its circuit had been tripped. While the fridge was repaired and has been working well for nearly three months, I thought it would be a good idea to … <\/p>\n
