Hi guys,

Sorry had to ask here due to more traffic and /k really fast in replying haha.

Kinda need urgent decision, because saw Harvey Norman today is last 80% sale.

Which fridge u guys suggest ya to buy below 1.5k? i can go up max 1.6k

So far interested on
1. SHARP SJ-366M-SS : RM1.5K (Can't find energy info)
2. LG GN-C372SXCC : RM1.7K (321 kWH)

If u guys have other recommendation do let me know ya, or other store to buy better price.

Thank youuu

Hitachi
No ragrets

Strongly suggest that you visit a few shops which repair aircons/fridges and ask them which brand comes on to be worked on more often.

Parking, as would like to know too.

So far best bang for bucks fridge should be electrolux, but not sure how reliabile is it.

National aka Panasonic.

toshiba?

Go for LG.. Life good.

seems like the sharp is like mine's...

I think fridges in that price range are more or less the same.

I think mine is a toshiba RM3k one.

I bought it for no specific reason other than got decent space.

It's a fridge, not a car. As long as it cools the food, okay enough for me.

hitachi non inverter 4 door

its a refridgerator. no need inverter. cheaper to repair later. keep it simple.
buy the biggest you can afford.

As long as its FROST FREE.. Both brands are fine. Go for the one that's more spacious (lesser slots/plastics)..

1.5k budget better buy hitachi la.

Hell nopeeeeeee

share your experience

I would prefer Japanese brands (Panasonic, Hitachi) for fridge rather than European brands (Electrolux, Beko).

Isn't Harvey Norman is more expensive? I bought my Panasonic fridge at TBM at RM1350 (including coupon 100 and delivery charges). Model is NR-BL348PSMY

zoop.asia

Ah goood idea, but too bad right now covid case raising and my friend dont allow borrow car to visit to many place (he's a high risk due to lung problem)

Sharp not fall in ur japan list?

ah ya, i went to Harvey Norman Promotion at Citta Mall and price with delivery cheaper than buying from Shopee that's why i consider

Didn't get the chance to visit other shop though since the Covid case raising right now

Sharp also should be okay. I did a survey and found Sharp offers cheaper prices compared to other brands with same capacity. As long you buy from shop, and shop can help deliver and install should be okay. I have bad experience buy big appliance alone.

I bought samsung at harvey norman during online sale.. for 1300 only. After that price increase back to price 1600

I bought Toshiba fridge in 2004 and still working fine now.

No problem ever..

Sharp.....my friend who work as fridge technician said Sharp brand is most reliable because he fix fewer Sharp fridge brand than other brand....

Cool! thanks mann

bought Samsung ,after 2 month rosak

technician come fix ,change inverter board and compressor,still cannot fix the issue,terus call their HQ said defect unit

the next week hq call to ask several questions to confirm the issue said by technician, replace new one within a week

use till now shd b bout 2yrs adi..

Not sure lucky or unlucky

i take sharp over lg

especially if overpriced lg

aside from price, why yaa u prefer sharp more?

Hitachi really good

Recommended Hitachi because the pricing or because durability or because function ya?

Because of durability.

Just don’t buy low end korean brand.

Is it because less ppl is using sharp, thats why less units to repair?

Btw, did he feedback anything about electrolux fridge?

If Samsung brand ok or not?

Samsung is a korean brand. Just don’t buy their low end model. High end model probably better. But I actually don’t know about the high end model part, just assuming.

last time bought hitachi, after 3 years defrost sensor kaput, causing iceberg builtup, blocking the flow to below compartment.

Low budget fridge? Buy a Midea and never look elsewhere. Parts for it are dirt cheap, after sales service is very good by Malaysia standards and the only thing you do not get is a silent operating motor after it is a few months old.

Japanese ones? Low end ones are disposable rubbish, same goes for Korean ones that these days are all made in Thailand.

doesn't matter, as long it has a 5 star energy rating is gooding

Sharp ok their factory in shah alam went there once to collect spare part

80% scam got la, mark up then discount back or use ori price when launch N years ago price.

Good luck with samsung part mahal and hard to find even dor thier service center.

I myself wouldn’t buy samsung. If I have money I would buy Bosch. Right now I just stick with Hitachi.

go with sharp
bigger space lagi murah

sometimes u may try to nego with them one. who knows ( i bought one slightly cheaper than the market - can see the sales guy let me press kaw kaw)

If you are those who wants to use the fridge until it falls apart...Hitachi.

For me I want to change to new and bigger fridge also cannot...Hitachi still running fine since 2007. No breakdown b4. Never service before also.
Good stuff.

Im still waiting for samsung part to arrive 2 week dy...... Bloody samsung

if u ask me..any reputable brand fridge today is ok to get
u don't even move it that often anyway...it stays right where it is for a long time

the only factor left to consider is how many food and if u like the interior of the fridge or not

Bad luck..

But thank you for acknowledging the fact that korean brand is crap

sharp .......all the way

hitachi ok. but if kena lemon unit once warranty die, spart part sohai expensive...again if kena lemon unit la.

i think i kena lemon unit. after 3 years the defrost sensor and thermostat kaput. cost of repair, RM250+. only after service i found out that the cost of both parts actually very cheap less than RM40 and very easy to DIY after watching some youtube video.

this

Toshiba fridge quite reliable.

Hisense

Jap > kimchi

just get the pattern u like
fridge is lo tech item
all perform same

somehow i prefer
freezer at bottom
basket style can store more

new fridge all using the same tech and design. electronic here and there.
