My old Sharp fridge will need replacing soon.

Was looking for a simple 2 door fridge...went to a few physical shops. Looked at Sharp and Panasonic, then saw Hisense and Haier fridges on sale. Are those 2 China brands worth buying?

I would avoid Toshiba as my in-laws and I are using the same series fridge (different sizes) and both have minor issues that should not have been there.

Yes avoid at all cost, their service also sucks!
i basically throw away my 3 months old samseng fridge.

they tell me there's no issue even though:
1. Ice also melted in the freezer
2. those drinks label also get wet in the fridge.

They got the guts to ask me did i use the fridge too much? When Monday - Friday 7am to 8-9pm no one at home (both of us working).

TY for that info!

Moreover, several years later, the firm was renamed after the second part of the Chinese translation of its partner Liebherr to receive its current name, Haier.

Looks like they had a very high regard for Liebherr. I've also seen Liebherr freezers in various supermarts. Hopefully that'll translate into a reliable Haier home fridge.

Betul ke ini?! My Samsung fridge is 20 years old, and never had any issue of having samsung technician coming in within 2-3 days upon booking. They didnt even charge for followups.
