I really don't no. As you know, fridge actual consumption only can be measure by actual usage. My habit of usage is different from your habit usage too. Unless somebody have a experience to tell.

Take Quanta fridge consumption as an example. His usage is 2.2kwh for a 291liter. If he want to get a new fridge, he either get a fridge same liter but less than 2.2kwh consumption. Or same consumption but bigger than 291liter. From here you can see he have a guideline what fridge to looking at.

I recently went to HN at check some fridge spec. Some new technology inverter fridge have very low consumption per liter. I m eyeing on this fridge.

Would it be the high usage? 1 day open/close many time? Can you hear the compressor running frequently? The freezer side have thick ice or dry cool? Draining water always? Setting freezer and fridge too high?

what puzzling me is that during CNY, the fridge itself consumed 8 units for 3 days when there were no ppl at home and no other electrical was on. Yes the compressor is kicking in quite frequenltly. Freezer side has no frost build up, water seems not much on the tray, freezer is set at 1.5 (total is 3 levels) and the fridge is set at Medium.

Maybe got ghost.

You can try to isolated the problem. Plug your fridge to another wall socket. If same problem, than the fridge side is something wrong.

Set all the dial to minimum. Check with the kill a watt meter. Compare the low/medium setting consumption. Since no frost in the freezer side, that mean the seal is ok.

The drainage tray usually don't have water. It is only for defrost usage. I never see any water in the tray for whole yrs or many yrs.

Thanks. The capacity is depend on my wife. Buy usually they want big 1. Give them house size fridge also not enough. Throw all the rubbish inside.

My idea fridge is French door, compact yet big capacity, Multi compartment, save energy the most.

Hitachi is 1 of the best. Eying at the multi compartment type.

1.2amp with 700liter is already very good saving fridge. So what consumption perday?

Some new fridge can go as low as 0.8amp for 700liter.

Why nobody here like Samsung fridge
The design kinda good

Welcome.
Just to share, if electrical usage or energy is the first concern when buying the fridge, than should go for 2 door series, French door or those fridge side by side definitely will consume more electric compare to normal 2 door fridge. Nowadays 2 doors fridge already have a model which can up to 600L or 700L net capacity.

samsung what also want to do.

angry at samsung because of my s4, decided to ban them.

The fridge got 10 years warranty

No idea. Brand new Hitachi. The biggest I can find.

Most of the fridge out there (Mitsubishi, Sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba) already offer 10 years warranty.

Not really 2door series is consume less. If it smaller capacity, it can be consume less. But not big capacity.

I found out the logic that big capacity with 2 door will consume more even if it state there save. For 2 door big capacity, the opening door is very big. Cool air is heavy. It will lost very fast everytime you open the door. So it doesn't save in the way of usage. If it separate out into smaller door like French door and multi compartment, you only open the door that you need. That less cool air travel out and loss. Big door require bigger front space to open too.

Side by side door fridge is a waste space fridge for me. The middle separate is add up the total wide size. It end up, the fridge look wide from the outside, but thin and long inside. Even it state 700l or 600l, but it doesn't look have big compartment inside. Not sure you can place a big birthday cake or a cooking ware inside.

You sure about that?

Tell me more.

yeah maybe there is a ghost at my house using up the electricity to manifest ... and the ghost is a non-inverter ghost .. lol

What fridge having in your mind now?

Either this Pana NR-BW415VN or Samsung RT35.

Still digging for infos on both.
