Guys, I just get married, looking for a refrigerator for a family of two adults. Hopefully the fridge will last until we had kids, maybe another ten years perhaps.
My budget is under RM1000. But I also keen on some feature such as LED lighting, twist ice tray, if possible want to get multi speed compressor to save on electricity.
After some survey I ended up with two choices, Toshiba and Samsung, is it true that Japanese brand is really superior? In what term?
ToshibaSamsungBoth have what I needed, and maybe big enough to last a decade. I'm sold on the interior compartment design of Samsung which looks more well placed and organized. The sticker also mentioned about Low Noise, which is a plus, but after digging through Toshiba spec sheet I found that they also mention Low Noise design. That mean both can be said is about equal in term of noise.
Samsung is a bit smaller, and priced at RM1050 in major retailer, so I bet I can get it at lower price somewhere.
Toshiba is bigger, and I can get it cheapest at RM1150 (I am willing to fork extra cash if it's worth it, hence I need you guys opinion).
Another thing is, I found out from Samsung spec sheet saying that the fridge is using 5-speed compressor (something similar) which end up will save more energy. I understand that conventional refrigerator will use single speed compressor that is quite electrical thirsty. But I can't find out wether the Toshiba is using which type of compressor. If confirm the Toshiba is using the conventional type compressor, I'll go with Samsung. It is not top of the line model btw (both of them)
So, which fridge is more value than money and will benefit me most? Will the extra price justify the added volume for the Toshiba fridge? Or Samsung is good enough, maybe even better.
