** CONSUMER REVIEWS SUMMARY ** Overall Summary: User sentiment for the Hitachi R-WB640VT0XMIR is overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers consistently praising its premium look, roomy/clever layout, quiet performance, and standout vacuum drawer plus touch/auto-door features. Complaints are relatively minor and focus on the vacuum drawer being small for some, lack of a temperature display, and an isolated report of vegetables wilting quickly. (harveynorman.co.nz), User Rating: 4.9, Pros: Spacious, well-organised interior and flexible storage: users praise 'plenty of room on the shelves,' 'smart compartments,' and an 'excellent' shelves/bins configuration that makes it easy to organise food. (harveynorman.co.nz), Standout premium features (vacuum drawer + auto doors + selectable zone): the vacuum drawer is repeatedly called out as genuinely useful-e.g., 'the vacuum seal drawer keeps smelly food odours from spreading' and 'Love the vacuum seal compartment… keep meat fresher for longer.' Many also like the 'touch to open'/auto door for hands-full access and the convertible lower section for extra fridge/freezer flexibility. (harveynorman.co.nz), Quiet operation and strong day-to-day performance: multiple owners mention it 'runs quietly' / 'So quiet,' while reporting food stays 'perfectly chilled' and fresh longer than prior fridges. (harveynorman.co.nz), Cons: Vegetable drawer performance complaints from at least one owner: they report they were 'unable to get the vegetable drawers at a warm enough state' and vegetables 'wilt and go floppy within 48 hours.' (harveynorman.co.nz), Small-ish vacuum compartment for some households: one user says the vacuum compartment is great but 'only wish it was bigger.' (harveynorman.co.nz), UI/feature nitpicks: some mention turning off the 'magic automatic open option,' and one review notes 'The only downside is no temperature display.' (harveynorman.co.nz).
