tq with your experience sharing...

Sharp Quatro Series SJF78SPBK http://www.sharp.com.my/product.php?ProductID=SJF78SPBK is it ok? im surely like the design but i barely know the pro & cons bout the product.anyone?

These are nice french door bottom freezer fridge since 70% activity revolves around the fridge. No need to bend down to get things. They are upgrade of first generation four door pillarless SJ-F75 series in that their doors are rodded and their lights are LED and a newer deodorizer. Net volume is 605l (Fridge 394, freezer 211). I know because that's what I use. Minister of home affairs says fridge must be large enough to cater for parties and family. Wide space afforded can put cake since it's about 70cm wide internal storage width.

Electrolux has EQE-6307SA (629l) which is 4 cm deeper than Sharp's but looks similar in appearance to the SJ-F78 one. Most probably they could OEM from Beko which could have a similar design but lower energy consumption than the Sharp.

Despite their capacity, one drawback of the first (SJ-F75PS/E) and second generation (SJ-F78SPBK/SL) Quattro are:
1. They are quite power consuming. Annual energy consumption shown here is 894Wh (same with Electrolux EQE-6307SA) and 803kWh respectively. Roughly about 74.5 or 67 units of electricity a month. The new Hitachi R-B6800M annual consumption is 260kWh. Roughly 22 units per month. But the Hitachi fridge is almost RM9k similar to Beko models of the capacity range. But of course, the capacity of the fridge and freezer compartment differs individually for each model depending on which method is used to calculate volume (ISO or JIS).

Wait for the new Avance models to be introduced. Jintex is carrying them end of July 2012.
Common features:
Wide interior of 78cm compared to 70cm of first and second generation. Possibly using advance insulation like vacuum insulated panel (VIP)??? similar to that in the Hitachi R-B6800M and one of Panasonic's inverter NRF532TX. VIP are quite thermal efficient than polyurethane (PU).
Control panel now touch screen on top left leaf(door), hassle free ice making reservoir on bottom right of fridge.
Ice making cleaning mode (Ag+ ions), Crystal ice making (go figure)
Eco mode - saves 10% electricity.

SJF-93MSL/MWH 750l
SJF-96SSL/SBK 750l

wow....thank you so much for your info.....just call Sharp. They having a road show on their new model of fridge and others appliances at Sunway Pyramid. Can't wait to see the Avance model.

Halcyon27, how much did u buy it for? I'm looking at hitachi 720em, this may be a better buy

I am looking for the side by side door refrigerator. May I know which brand is good? I shortlisted the following brand:

Samsung - Look very nice and cheap but not sure quality
Hitachi or Sharp - Feature almost similar. I presume quality also should be OK. Can share which is better?

Dun buy Samsung, the salesman told me no good....but i havent experienced it before.........

The Papilllon series is the same with Butterfly series? http://www.sharp.com.my/product.php?ProductID=SJWS400THS
Anyone know the price for the 400L?

Same. HN sell it back then for RM3399 last year. But other 400l going around for less than that.

Could be cheaper if display. Try places in SS2 like Megatronics or Jintex, could be cheaper there if you're in PJ.

Good luck hunting

[edit: could also consider the Panasonic 2012 Eco Navi model NR-BW465XS (RM2499) and Inverter NR-BW415VN (RM1999) both gross 400-450l range.]

Added on July 20, 2012, 1:40 pmSometimes it's also a tactic by sales to push one and downput the other due to commission structure and how channel account person manage their relationship with sales shops. To be fair, I've friends who have Samsung fridge who hasn't complained. Only read through other forums that sometimes certain models of Korean brands have noisy compressor. Seems like isolated cases.

Actually, I quite like the Samsung bottom freezer models like the RFG28MESL1 but it's wide (908)mm. At 1.8kWh/day (657kWh/yr) at least don't makan letrik like the SJ-F75 750l Sharp's 894kWh. Right now many non-inverter under 500 litre fridge about the same letrik consumption range of 400-500+kWh per year.

But how often we change fridge? Could be good even talk to ppl browsing before and ask them what they had before. Sometimes those who are willing to share will give revealing insights on the products they've used before, what they wish they had done, etc. Learn together ma.

Often, one issue I hear is which compartment has more priority when looking for one - fridge or freezer. Some even shared that because of their dietary habits, a freezer is more important so they have a storage/chest freezer and smaller or midsized fridge. They then keep their fridge freezer at minimum like -14 cos meat not stored in there but lots of ice and bread (some do that). Because the big freezer is not so often accessed, they save letrik also.

Tips on fridge or freezer
Happy hunting!

Hi, do you feel any differences between with or without inverter air-cond? is the inverter one comfortable at nite?

My friend bought it, and said on & off working at nite, sometimes feels hot, is that true?

I’ve a Samsung 2 doors refrigerator, like 5~7 years now, didn’t remember the exact model, we like it very much, cool and quiet. I think the Silver Nano coating is great way to keep the fruits fresh and de-odor too, sometime we put Durian in the frige, the Durian smell is gone by the next day.

Toshiba GR-R48MD/ GR-R72MD will be good choice.

Samsung this model is good too.
