This Electrolux fridge runs too warm for our tastes

2015-06-23
hey I'm seen that's right Chris standing here beside thee here we go electrolux ew27wd55gs a bit even worse it's the perfect size for a carton of eggs so if I take this carton and stick it right in pretty tempting spot right there fits like a glove you shouldn't fit your eggs they're just way too hot so I don't like that design at all and here's another qualms those luxury clothes drawers I mentioned they have a little resistance built in so it takes a little extra tug to get them open I don't like that I end up yanking too hard on it pulling it out too quick and then when you close them they're supposed to close naturally on their own kind of finish that last half inch by themselves and a lot of times it failed like on this side if you look at can't even close it anymore because the mechanism pulls out at the front easy enough to fix I just have to pull it out and reach in and rehook this thing on both sides and then it works again but still that's a pain and that happened a lot when I was testing it out now that said there are some things that this fridge gets right you see these drawers down at the bottom of the doors a lot of fridges have them and they're kind of hard to get into because of the overhang of the bigger shelves above them on the Electrolux models these tilts out so it's really a lot easier to get in and get kid-friendly stuff at a low height like applesauce they're jell-o pudding that's a nice feature the marquee feature of this fridge though is the wave touch control panel on the front other electrolux's have the controls on the inside of the door or they have what's called IQ and that's the same thing except all the options are always on the wave touch models they're off until you touch them so I touch the top here and I get more options I can hit options to wake them all up and they'll fade away when I'm not using them it's a very small difference basically they just added a few lines of code so things fade off and you're not using them and charged 100 bucks more for it all there are a couple of features in this fridge that I like a lot and I would like to see in more fridges but the performance is just not good enough for the price I don't want to have a fridge that's running above 40 degrees and the majority of the fridge compartment when I have it set at 37 especially if I'm paying thirty three fifty for more check out my full review at si.com for CNET appliances I'm right Chris
