Yes, we took our american ff. One of the shelves shattered into a gazillion pieces when I went to wash it but other than that, it made it fine.

It did breakdown though and 2 guys came out to fix. One aussie and one guy from Manchester. The Aussie said it was knackered and couldn't be fixed so when he went to the van to pack up the Manchester guy gave me his number. He came back with a small part from LG (our FF was Electrolux) and hey presto it works again!

If you took yours and it's fine please show a for Yes (and how long since your brought it to oz)

If yours has melted in the hot aussie temps please give a (how long did it take to pack in?)

Helps us know if worth breaking back lifting into container!

Thanks!
We bought our Samsung american fridge freezer over and it works exactly like it did in the uk. It's been in QLD temps for 2.5 years
