Nowadays, there are so many brand to choose for refrigerator...
e.g. LG, Panasonic, Hitachi, Electrolux, Samsung, Haier

Which brand do you recommend?
Preferably a durable and long lasting fridge... oh yeah, and also affordable...

Long lasting ah, Kelvinator, Maytag.

I think most refrigerator's today are pretty 'long lasting'

Found a survey done by JD Power and seems Samsung is the best choice for Refrigerator

Survey Link

Samsung.

*shrugs* I use a Electrolux and it is okay. I think any fridge you get can work well for at least 5-10 years if not longer so long as it is well taken care of. I don't recommend fridges with fancy ice and water dispensers though as it seems to require more maintanence.

Otherwise, get a fridge with long warranty and option to renew if necessary.

maytag has to be the best at the moment. kelvinator is now made in australia, so for those who are looking for a made in the USA fridge they might want to stick with maytag. electrolux is always reliable. i don't trust sharp, samsung etc. too new in the market.

@johnsonm,
The new fridge mom purchased when we shifted a couple of years ago seems to be working fine by me; it's a Samsung btw - except we don't quite like the side by side doors; maybe we just don't know how to utilise space but we find it not spacious enough

LG got nice look...
Samsung value for $
Panasonic made in m'sia...
Sharp also good...

@hanif444,
Er I hope U aren't talking about that LG model that can double up as a mirror + has 'fake' diamonds on its fridge panel.... that's just so..... so...... wannabe!!! *grins*

The LG ion plasma air cond>...got bad experience from me...

@hanif444,
Er... this discussion's about fridges not aircond - ur confused

personally i think samsung not bad after done a few survey at our malaysia market ...

and again ... hope to get a person who can help us to post the price list ... hahaa ...

hitachi,sharp n electrolux rocks!

fisher & paykel

fisher & paykel was out of my budget

i went for toshiba - so far so good, but has an annoying blue light inside

hows the panasonic ? got inverter... is it really save energy ?

Panasonic with inverter have save my current electric charges by Rm20/month

wahhh ... so good.... thanks for your sharing ...
how abouts panasonic aircond also same ?

I bought 2 new inverter panasonic but the other aircond are not having inverter and also its hard to track usage for monthly bill for aircond.

becoz, i saw the ad which is panasonic envio, its specify to save energy more than 50%...

Electrolux always good.
My old freeze Electrolux working till today.

Haier is China brand wo.......think about it...hehe

GE also good but a bit pricey

I heard a lot of good comment from friends on regards to Electrolux brand, but a little pricey that comes with quality...
Not sure whether its true

hi guys,

need advice......i donno why but i somehow fancy panasonic ref.....especially the ones with the freezer below....and the normal part above......

my current survey :->

pana NRB231MG 225L -rm1169 -sogo
pana NRB261M RM1299
pana NRB191M RM1039

not sure there are power saving or not

Usually new Panasonic fridge comes with inverter. Is it stated they have inverter or not?

i prefer sharp. good in quality, long-lasting but affordable. it is cheaper than panasonic or samsung, if im not mistaken.

LG, i got bad experience for its vacuum cleaner. ops! this discussion is for refrigerator only..

Anyone has experience using Mitsubishi refrigerator? is it good? I am thinking to buy a 3-Door Bottom Freezer (http://www.melcosales.com.my/refrigerator.htm).

I am looking to buy a new refrigerator, have been survey few brand, I like the LG desgin but it didn't stated energy saving, the only fridge that claims save energy is Sharp, Hitachi and Panasonic

Sharp - Claim can save up to 25% of electricity bill via their advanced compressor in the fridge
Hitachi - Claim can save up to 15% of energy through "minus-zero" technology
Panasonic - Inverter technology, can save energy

Which brand is better deal ? the price for Sharp and Hitachi is quite similiar but Panasonic is more pricey.

Based on the spec. Look like Sharp can save the "most" electricity, anyone use Sharp here, can you share your view, can it really save that much ? Thanks

am also on the lookout for fridge as well. moving into new house pretty soon
I must thank you for the above info... with the recent global financial crisis, expenditure(electricity bill) must be really thought through for these purchases..

how about the warranty period ? would that be a good deciding factor for you?

awaiting some sifu's advices yah ...

Re electricity saving features, there's a sticker with TNB certification or something like that stuck on the fridge model when we see the fridges on display at the shops.

I just bought the Toshiba http://www.toshiba.com.my/product/product_...id=GR%20YG73MDA
...it was like an impulse purchase, fell in love with the tempered glass front, real sleek looking

1. Whirpool, Siemens. 2. Japs 3. Second hand 1. and 2. Never buy Koreans, overrated.

Can reuse this Fridge Thread ??

any using Sharp refrigerator here ? just wanna to confirm it claim to save electricity bill by 25% is really true or just marketing gimmick

I'm using. But very old model >5 yrs. So far so good. can't really comment on the electricity bill.

I also need to buy new fridge coz my old samsung went kaput. And that samsung is just 5 years old

Recommendation for long lasting ones?

SINGER. my friend claim his singer refrigerator almost 14 years and still running well

my house fridge were carry from my grandfather's house, national brand.. lol now aka Panasonic

guess it's at least 20 yrs old

Initially I intend to get Panasonic refrigerator, but end up did not purchase because I don't like the new design...

tumpang thread..

which one is better? Toshiba or Mitsubishi Electric? wifey wants a fridge with automatic ice-maker. both look good.

If both look good to you, get the cheaper one. Simple, isn't it?

no. coz i need to know which one is better (more reliable, energy saving, etc)

anyone knows where to get those magnet which keep the door close..mine is old does't stich anymore..?
anyone? thks

romeomustfly u need to go to http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Kee...ator-Door-Shut/ and try read up all the comments....

Look into long term. Any repair cost? Especially if you are looking for a fridge with automatic ice maker.

I think samsung one more better i heard.
