Does anybody know if purchasing a refrigerator at Best Denki or Harvey Norman, the transportation/shipping is FOC or extra charge?

Any electrical shops will send for free.
If not then look for another shops.

Online like Lazada or Shopee need to pay and troublesome need to carry ourselves.

Depends on minimum billing but for fridge should be 'free'.

ok... thanks

Anyone owned a Hitachi Super Big2 Glass 655L, R-VG750PM-1 ?
Want to know is this compressor sound of this model loud ? and what is there energy consumption ?
Can't find energy consumption info on Hitachi website.

Actually I find fridge top and freezer bottom is way more practical for all ages since the fridge section would be access more frequently

But kinda hard to find such designs nowadays, mostly side by side which I do not fancy due to the lower % of fridge space or freezer top fridge bottom designs..

I thought of getting a white Hisense fridge but after reading your comment makes me doubtful

This particular fridge I am looking at:

My parents LG fridge (around 600-700L) with door in door, is really great. No issues with noise and airflow.

Any feedback on Electrolux fridge?

https://www.electrolux.com.my/appliances/re...500b-a/#benefit

Actually I'm looking at this fridge as well. Have u seen it in any shops? I have yet to search for it...

hi guys,

just want opinion about refrigerator brand Hisense - Side by Side Inverter 620L RS688N4AWU

anyone here have experience with this fridge

it s that good? mean in terms of durability and electric save?

thank you in advance.

This brand design looks very close to Toshiba gr-rf610we-pmy
But how good is it, I dunno. Maybe they share the same components...

SBS form factor is not known to be energy saving..
More for flexing "look nice" lah

Can't get better info as Hisense brand not sold in SG - cannot locate in NEA registry https://e-services.nea.gov.sg/els/Pages/Sea...am=goods&type=p

Can try sharp 700L top fridge bottom freezer. Design is good and practical

I went for the Hisense 720L 4 door instead. Got it from Harvey Norman for RM3394, even cheaper than shopee and retail warranty is 3 years vs 2 years online warranty.

I actually just received the fridge in the afternoon, had to wait for 4 hours before turning it on. Already 30 minutes past and I can hardly feel any airflow at all and it isn't cold. How long do I need to wait until the fridge is fully operational lol

Let it on overnight. The next day should be ready for use. First time operate the fridge is like this as it takes time to cool

Hi all, am looking to buy a new fridge, 400 - 500L, traditional 2-door type. My budget will limit my choices to the usual brands like Pana, Sharp, etc.

I normally buy Panasonic for most of the household things like water heaters, Alkaline water filter, fan, air-con, etc. My current fridge is also Pana NR B320T (bottom freezer), still good but now need to go bigger, except that the plastic tray at the freezer rosak already.

What is the latest situation in the market? My priorities:
1) Long lasting
2) Low power consumption

If given Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba, Elba, LG, Samsung, how would you rank them? (You can add in any brands that I don't know.)

Some extra info needed advice:
a) Freezer on top vs bottom
b) Are Korean brands (LG and Samsung) on par with the Japanese?

Let it run overnight empty, next day should be cool

Hello sifus,

I am eyeing on this particular side-by-side fridge Hitachi R-S800PM0.

I am a bit worried here because I don't see any Energy Saving Rating Stars label. I have consulted the sales person and the reply that I get is that all electronic appliances that has inverter like this fridge is 5 star Energy Saving. Not sure if this is true?

yes but certain brands are 4 or 3 stars

Lowest power consumption is Top Freezer Bottom Fridge, but practical use; Bottom Freezer and Top Fridge is better.

Reliability Japanese (Panasonic or Sharp) is the best; I am using Samsung now for about 3 years. Had one Warranty Call due to damaged display LED (Warranty call was quick, Samsung Call centre even works on Sundays) otherwise good.

Hitachi has poor after sales support and in my case, dubious quality control; hence I wouldn't recommend this brand. Although the free replacement they gave us, is equally trouble free for these 3 years but my previous inverter Hitachi completely died without a chance of revival at the age of 5 years 3 days ( and its a batch issue, defective compressor)

I see relatives running Panasonic or Sharp Inverter without a hitch so far, for more than 6 years.

Generally Jap Brands > Korean > China brand (Hisense, Midea or Toshiba, which is under licence by Midea at the moment)
