all my household electrical system buy at the same time, everything is running include local brand, the only one spoiled is the LG air cond...pfshhh

In all fairness to Korean branded stuff, I have owned a fridge, a washing machine, an LD player (yes, Laser Disc!) and a few VCD/DVD players, all of which were Samsung. With the exception of the VCD/DVD players which kaputed from wear and tear...thanks to my wife's habit of fast forwarding while watching her drama serials, I must say they served me well until I eventually replaced them for bigger capacity Jap branded ones.

Mine 95% are Panasonic
I got brand loyalty

its depend on luck i think.....me using samsung product...fridge, aircond...etc, so many years and still in good condition..its all depends on usage la i think..

for white Goods like fridge/washing machine, IMHO, korean brands are value for money and quite reliable..

I found one....my washing machine is LG. About 9 yrs old. So far only fix one time for something crap leaking but until now still good. Use everyday also. So I guess Korean brand not bad at all.

My Korean brand so far....

1. LG washing machine....10 years liao..going strong
2. Samsung DVD player ... 3 years....no problem

I am using Samsung fridge for about 7 years. No problem at all.

This mean that Korean brand are good for home appliances and no good for home entertainment...

btw, im using Samsung side-by-side fridge for 3 years now and still ok.... touch wood

I'm using a Hitachi fridge and I think its crap!!

SInce new the door like very weak magnet to keep it close. Need to close and push.

I bought my Samsung fridge back in 1995 when the brand was still a "virgin" and it served me well until recently when I replaced with a Hitachi for bigger capacity

Korean brand and Japanese brand now all par on quality..Actually, they are same lower quality compared with 10 years ago as all cutting cost to fight China stuffs.. Accept the truth..

I tot it was the design...but the hassle of fixing it that will leave me for weeks with out a fridge..I think I've to get used to it.

got idea to solve ur problem...just make adjustment..adjust the high of ur front fridge....so the back are lower....so, the door will auto close if u didnt hold it....me use the way...

My nearly 4 years old samsung dvdp gave up on me. Hardly used as it is placed in the living room, most of the time astro only.

man...how come I never though abt that!


Thank you
