Electrolux's fancy fridge gets stuck up at high temps

2015-04-06
hi my name is Andrew Gebhardt foreseen it today I'm taking a look at the Electrolux CI 28 BS 80 KS for a it has touch IQ controls it has a perfect temp drawer that lets you set the temp separately from the rest of the fridge it even has drawers that are luxury close drawers that when you push them they go like this it certainly is trying hard here to convince you that it's classy but the interior actually plays that classy part pretty well when hosting a fancy dinner party you'll even be able to pull out the shelves right from the fridge and use them as party platters I mean I know I'd be thoroughly impressed if somebody served me escargot on a wide glatz fridge shelf with a plastic handle on one of the ends look electrolux deserves credit for trying here and there might be some people that would find this useful if it was seamless but you have to tilt the tray to get it into or out of the fridge so if you arrange some hors d'oeuvres on it they're gonna end up sliding all over the place when you're putting it in and out the one advantage these trays have is if you're using it normally and you do spill the inward slope is going to keep the mess contained and I really do like the way the drawers close but so many of the features just step on the toes of usability and oh yeah it's not great at keeping your food cold so you know minor thing the doors would run 10 degrees or more over the set temperature even the middle of the fridge when we had it set at the standard 37 degrees Fahrenheit would go over 40 degrees that's not a good thing the FDA recommends keeping food that spoils easily under 40 degrees and the main part of the compartment doesn't do that so I have a bit of affection for this fridge because of how hard it's trying but the bells and whistles don't add up to the thirty one hundred dollar premium because the features stomp on usability and it's not great at the basic function of fridges cooling your food so I can't recommend the Electrolux II I 28 be at 80 KS for a four more be sure to check out my full review on cnet com for CNN appliances I'm Andrew gebhardt
