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)

Shopee sellers: Anyone have bought fridges from Shopee before? if buy from shopee, the delivery will not do the installation right? So buyer has to do it themselves is it? How about the 10-years or 12-years warranty? Can we still get it from the manufacturer?

Panasonic NR-BX471CPSM

Any comment on this model?

I was also asking about this model few posts back but seems like no feedback. If you are ok with bottom freezer and the slightly higher power consumption i think its good to go.... Panasonic should be pretty reliable

I have been using bottom freezer all the while. No issues so far.
But mine is old model non inverter type.

Agreed. My current fridge is also a Panasonic, and has been running for at least 16 years, not a single incident. The only reason want to change now is because more people stay here now so need to get a bigger one, it is 300L. I'm looking for at least 420L now. It is also a bottom freezer model type, so we are used to it already.

Actually, bottom freezer not really consume more power significantly:

(Bottom Freezer) NR-BV320XSMY
322L, 374 kWh/year

(Top Freezer) NR-BL342PKMY
325L, 360 kWh/year
