Toshiba 20 years already still going strong and easy maintenance. Repairman said just replaced the sensor.

MIDEA is a pretty good brand. For the price, it is very good value. MIDEA knows they have to compete with many heavyweights so they made sure to give quality products. I didnt think much about MIDEA until 1 day I realised so many of my friends and relatives have midea products in their homes.... and none of them said anything bad about Midea.

HAIER is another brand that is competing directly with MIDEA. I dont know much about Haier cos I dont know anyone using Haier products. Anyone can comment?

motors have warranty from 5 to 12 years as i see across the brands .
means they a fairly reliable.

as for reliability of fridges.
depends also on user .
stable power supply will less surges
temp settings .
dont overload the fridge with food items . blocking vents etc..

National cannot be used in the US because it was registered by other company. So, Matsushita Electrics started using brand Panasonic. Lat time for audio product they use brand Technic for the US market. Now almost all products sold under Panasonic brand.

Well, Panasonic products are result of takeover like Quasar from Motorola. Sanyo brand is also changed to Panasonic as well. I believe the Panasonic fridge is originally Hitachi brand. If you look at its multi-door units, resembles Hitachi but just different capacity to be different. Last time I used to have Hitachi video camera which resembled the Panasonic one and it was Hitachi that released the product first. biggrin.gif

I can also say if you are not lucky you get bad one. Compressor is probably made by other companies. The technology of fridge is like air-cond and they are all similar in technology (the way it works). For me I choose fridge on which interior compartments whichever practical for my need. With inverter technology, now the compressor warranty is no less than 10 yhears unlike previously and that is the most expensive part of the fridge I believe. smile.gif

Haier products are low quality and cepat rosak. Have bad experience with their induction cookers and airconds. Their TVs are bad too based on what I have heard / read. So will not consider them at all.
For fridge, I prefer Sharp or LG. May try out the Toshiba ones which are now made by Midea if its good value for money.

I'm using their fridge. So far so good. My friend bought their TV, it's value for money. Not as great as Sony/Samsung but worth every penny paid it seems.
