Bosch .

my samsung unable to powered on after 8 years +.
buy another samsung, still ok till now.

other brand size either too small or cannot fit in my kitchen.

Any brand except Samsung.

This is assuring, I am using LG for 10 years now.

Samsung

- intermittent loud rumbling/vibration sound in one,
- frequent blockage of defrost drain line, causing water leakage to bottom compartment, then to floor.

+1 on this.. My current Toshiba even survives a flood.. All it need is a quick wash, then its running like champ till today

Cheapo can buy sharp

Anything lower than that all same only. Including modern Toshiba all same as haier hisense or midea

Pana or LG if a bit higher budget (prefer pana but not sure new model can last as long as old one)


Bangsawan can get bosch siemens or electrolux or hitachi

Sharp better, been in the market fridge since forever, after sharp not soo much..

I am leaning towards getting a new Sharp....but I dunno if new models are tough and good like the older models. If new Sharps are about the same as new Haiers, it would be nice to save some money and get the latter brand.

Sharp has been in the Fridge making industry since 1991, go figure..

What was your previous experience with said Samsung fridge? How long did it hold out for?

Yup, I have moved to LG 2 years ago (wanted to glass door! hahaha, senang masa nak masak ambik barang), but still keeping the samsung.

Its been a while since I called them, but so far been good. Older model like mine, memang no parts. I guess it depends on model as well, for parts availability.

From my experience, I have encountered really bad fridge yet that gives headache. Previously had used, sharp, pana, hitachi.

Some consumers that reporting problem could have arose from that specific model itself rather than a bad brand, which happens to any electronic items
