Best fridge (according to the old uncle who fixes everything) is Bosch. Says that he has never been called to fix one. Same with the technician who came to change the rubber seal on my washer. He is an authorised Miele and Bosch technician and he says he too has never been called to repair a Bosch refrigerator. Don't know about Bosch fridges but the Bosch stove I have is bloody sensitive. Lift the pan off it a bit and it goes off (safety cutoff). Mine is piped in gas and if the flow is not constant, it goes off. Haiz!

I think the moderator is gonna kill us for discussing fridges and washers and cookers in a problematic TV topic. Maybe should start one problematic electrical equipment topic.

honestly, i avoid European brands from now on. the spare part price is just like the Conti cars compared to Japs and Koreans. My Bosch washing machine pcb kaput just after 2 years (and not long after the 2 year warranty) and it cost me RM1k just to change the pcb. and it took them almost a month to get it repaired due to mistake in ordering the part. made lot of noise until the service manager gave me a 10% discount.

Frankly speaking I think it is our fluctuating power supply which is causing all the electrical problems in all our equipment. That is why I isolate all my audio and video equipment these days. Luckily my new place has 3 phase electricity (less fluctuation compared to single phase).

my Samsung front loading washing machine pcb also spoilt before. my gripe is that European machine's spare part is darn expensive compared to Koreans/Japs

Ya lor and that's why I rather buy the ones with manual knobs and controls except damn hard to find these days. My Miele (with knobs only) washer was given away to a close family friend after I had it for 7 years. It is still working after 2 years (meaning it is 9 years old and still functioning without a problem). Only had to change the rubber seal (both in the front opening and the drum) once. My new Bosch has a PCB. Let's hope (fingers and toes crossed) that it will last as long as my old Miele.

Bro if you are going to be watching from quite a distance then maybe u shouldn't go for the curved TVs. Because the only practical feature of the curved TVs is the immersive feeling but from far the effect will not be noticeable. UHD is not a big jump from full HD but HDR feature is the one that makes a big difference in picture quality.
