I think all bottom freezer are drawer type
Even if its a swing door at the bottom, inside compartments are still pull out drawers

eg. sharp french door fridge

It does give out a high pitch and it only annoyed me one time. I had it for a year now. My kitchen and living room is near to each other and it's open. I noticed it doesn't make that noise all the time. To me I only hear it like 10% of the time and I'm at home most of the day. Bottom line for me, I consider it normal and not noisy
My Hitachi is the 3 doors French top and bottom drawer type

Now Panasonic got a similar fridge

You old already cannot hear high pitch
Kidding aside, I hardly hear it. I think less than 10 times in one year
The first time I heard it, it did annoyed me. After that I think got used already
Strange got many ppl complain about hitachi fridge is noisy.

Btw my hitachi compressor got no cover so can consider exposed. Your high end elite Japan imported punya got cover probably 😁

That's the retail price, I'm sure it will below 4K at certain retailers
I bought my hitachi 3 doors 510L at 3k

Panasonic vs Hitachi 3 doors (French door and bottom drawer) side by side comparison

Hitachi taller, Panasonic wider. Hitachi got one extra shelf space. Hitachi is deeper a bit also. Hitachi has smaller chilled drawer. Panasonic's chilled drawer is a bit too big and thereby wasted a shelf space imho.
Panasonic can put more bigger bottles at the doors. Has two lights, one on each side. Hitachi only has one light and placed on top.

Panasonic freezer drawer has one divider to separate your stuff. Ice cubemaker is fixed at one position. Hitachi's freezer drawer is one open space with one drawer compartment. Ice cube maker/box is loose and can be position anywhere. Other than that I think not much difference.

Panasonic has Econavi. It's more expensive than Hitachi.
Unfortunately both got no auto ice maker. To me not much difference between these two models. See which one fits your needs more only

Attached thumbnail(s)

those massive discounts are for display models.

both also good lah. fridge normally not much things can rosak
except for samsung's.....

Put a flash light inside and close the door. See from outside got light leak or not. Mine wasn't close enough so cold air would leak out. This is when it was new. After replacing the rubber seals ok .

Call Sharp

Btw this is why I bought Hitachi for my new place. Some of their fridge has anti-mould rubber seals

yeah my previous Sharp fridge also got these black mould. i read that they are bad for health.
washing machine also get them if you dont dry up the water from the rubber seal

huh? i must go take a look. small bag/box only right for Rm5
how to use?

Because when the fridge was delivered I didn't have a kitchen till several months later and therefore no kitchen sink to use.

this drawing of your wet kitchen? on the right side of the fridge got what there? in the picture, there is nothing there except that the fridge seems to eat into the door behind it. if nothing is there, yes can fit but look nice or not is another thing since it could be blocking the door

another option is to get those 3 doors fridge - see here

side by side - normally the entire left side is the freezer and the right, the fridge. thats why it waste a lot of space unless you got lots of things to put in your freezer. fridge side very narrow because space taken up by the freezer

4 doors - looks like a side by side but top part is the fridge, bottom is the freezer. normally refer to as french doors

two doors - is like half of a french door fridge (like in the pics you posted). both top or bottom positioned freezer are available

3 doors - top using french doors style for the fridge, bottom pull out drawer for freezer

last but not least are those with multiple doors, that one must ask owner ozak
