ActiveSmart Fridge - 17 Cu. Ft. Counter Depth French Door with Ice and Water
French Door refrigerators bring theatre into the kitchen with wide-open shelf spaces and unobstructed access. The 790mm model is perfect for kitchens that are tighter on space but still need a big fridge for growing families or plenty of entertaining. This French Door is smaller on the outside, roomy on the inside and even easier to get into with a spacious full-extension freezer drawer and storage bins.

Great fridge in a compact design. Had been mulling a few options for awhile, but as soon as I saw this new model come out, I knew it would be a perfect combination of size and performance in a french door configuration. It really hasn't disappointed either. The large vegetable drawer doesnt really bother me, I just look at it as a trade off to get the convenience of a french door model in such a compact design. Makes our kitchen seem like we have so much more space after we got rid of our old clunker.

Beautiful looking refrigerator and keeps everything fresh. Pros: excellent water dispenser that takes up no space inside the door. Cons: A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW: The crisper drawers, though they appear to be single wide, sit in a double-wide tray; you can only access the single-wide storage bins by fully opening both doors and pulling out the entire double-wide tray. In other words, you always must have both doors open to get at anything in the fridge. This was a major disappointment that doesn't show up on the web site photos or descriptions.
