Hi Guys,
Newbie here~


Just here to get some suggestion or some your experience on how to choose your Home Appliances? Which including:

1) TV
2) AC
3) Fan
4) Washing Machine
5) Water Pump
6) Refrigerator
7) Oven
8) etc


Do your guys have any comment or which brand on which appliances will be the best experience for you?

Kindly need your guys suggestion for my house renovation

thanks in advance.

Depends on your budget lah....

You want brand name or just fhnctionality or cheapest possible?

U want to order from lazada or bulk purchase with one electric appliance company?

You want yr guests to visit yr house and be fill with jealousy on all the high end appliances you packed into yr house?

Depends on how deep your pockets are and what you value more.

But from 15+ years of buying appliances and having tenants abusing them here are my findings :-

1) TV : Panasonic, Sony and Philips are decent. Sharp, Samsung and LG aren't bad but expect them to last 5 years only.

2) AC : Panasonic will last you 5-10 years easy and with relatively low or no extra maintenance cost. Cheap? Midea is a good one to go for.

3) Fan : Dyson if you have the budget, else KDK and Panasonic. Cheaper range? Pensonic isn't bad.

4) I've been using Electrolux machines for a long time, they were good but these days don't touch them with a 10ft barge pole. Am sticking to Bosch, Teka and LG. Panasonic is good too but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

5) Grundfos or Hitachi, though these days many good China made ones on the market that should not be written off.

6) Mitsubishi, Bosch or Hitachi. Miele, Liebherr and Smeg if you have very deep pockets. Else the usual Panasonic is good too.

7) Kitchen appliances : Cooker hoods = Fotile or Fujioh if Performance > Everything else. Electric hobs = Bosch or Teka. Dishwasher = Bosch or Teka. Oven = Teka or Bosch. Next tier = Electrosux, Rubine, Fagor & Haier. Low budget stuff = Elba.

It is very much depending what ur needs and wants.
What is the purpose for the unit? Own stay, airbnb, rental or....
High budget, low budget, high tech or low tech.

If got budget, advise u to install those high tech controller which cost around RM5k/unit which can sync with your appliances and allow u to control using mobile app.

Any links for that?

sorry, i do not have the link.
I saw those controller during ARCHIDEX exhibition.

This week I made a study of basic home appliances prices for a task in my office. Not too detailed lah.

Here's some retailer for online survey:

Harvey Norman website
Courts @Lazada
SenQ/Sengheng @Lazada
OnKing website

What i found is that the price is about the same, and they sell about the same product too.

That's all i can help. all the best.

Btw heres an indicative price for appliances under budget:

2 door fridge ~RM900-1300
Wash basin ~RM400
Cooker 2 Hobs (gas) Rm200-300
Cooker 2 Hobs (induction) >Rm800
Cooking Hood >Rm800 (flat one found cheap cheap about Rm200, not sure what type it is)
Aircond >Rm1100

thanks for all suggestion, some add on details right here, this unit is for own stay use, mostly for me looking for those appliances with last long with at middle range quality, budget wise I think will be finalize when get the idea with those all appliances, so first of all I still need to survey based on those related brand your guy suggest here

However, thanks guys for help thousand appreciate

usually electronics i go for japanese except phone.. those sharp panasonic tv washing machines last v long

Share with us your findings when you've got and bought them

Look online for major sales. I snagged some cheap stuff during the GST/SST sale by HLK. It may not be this or last years model, but the price was low enough I didnt care. (for tenant)

Go for only 5 or 4 star energy rating Appliances. Why?
My dad just bought a Toshiba GR-A66m 660liter fridge. My office one is a Sharp SJ176M 170liter fridge thats about a year old.
The 660 liter averages 400kWh and is 5 star
The 170 liter averages 453kWh and is 2 star
The amount of $ savings is significant. Get High energy star rating appliances.

*note models written are the ones on the energy star sticker, didnt actually check body to confirm.
**note 2, the brand has different star levels for different range of models, im not saying toshiba is always more efficient than sharp, its just a convenient example.

Edit: Ter reply again.
