Thank all for the advice. Wen to Senheng and Harvey Norman last week, Senheng price is cheaper with extra warranty if you joined the PlusOne membership.
This week will visit HLK and TBM to check price too

any review for samsung 660L side by side with family hub fridge?

i love the idea of lcd infront of the door so that i can use to watch youtube or listen to music while cooking...

but i'm not sure about the reliability...anyone here using it and have review?

Guys,

What's the energy usage like for say 500L fridge? Was considering whether or not I should change mine. My current one from more than 10 years ago using about 3kwh per day.

Nowadays most new refrigerator use inverter.
U should get better energy consumption.
Changed mine from 10y old samsung 340L to Electrolux 606L (inv).
More or less same energy consumption.

maybe can take a look at electrical store, find the model that you looking for and see if they have the ST star rating sticker. It will have the annual consumption figure there. Do your own maths using that

I'm trying to buy online. I can't find the figures on manufacturer website. I'm thinking to get a rough estimates to see whether it's worth getting a fridge.

Can still survey in store first before buying online mah

Anyway few days ago I went and see a 465L Panasonic bottom freezer fridge. Its rated 4 stars and the consumption according to the label is average 407 kwh per year. Top freezer model should be more efficient

Thanks bro... That should be sufficient. I guess I'm well over since I think my current fridge will go over 100kwh per month. Better dump it.

Any recommendation for an energy saving fridge? budget around 1k. Read online review Toshiba GR-A28MU is not bad?

Went to JH Home today to survey fridge since it;s nearby. Apparently side-by-side fridge dont have energy rating. I guess I have to monitor my mom's fridge to see if it's worth it.

Surprisingly a Hitachi 565L 2 door top freezer rated at 340kWh annually. To think that my old fridge is doing 4kWh per day is absurd. Also managed to peek at aircond and get a nasty surprise. A R410a inverter ac energy rating almost double the power of a R32 inverter ac. No wonder my son room Samsung windfree only recorded usage between 1.7-2.3kWh per day while my old Samsung triangle inverter record at least 5-6kWh.

Hey bro, I just recently purchased a few household items for my new place and this is what I did

Since Harvey norman has this policy of having the best price in the market.. (https://www.harveynorman.com.my/customer-services/shop-with-confidence.html)

I compared a legitimate shopee product against theirs and they honoured the price.. Some salesman will say can't match shopee price as it is company's policy.. I managed to find the right guy at Sunway Pyramid to help me with the lowest price.. I got a frdge and washer/dryer from him... I wanted an oled from LG but unfortuantely they have fully sold it out so I got the TV from Shopee..

What I like about harvey norman is that they will come up to your place and install the product as well..

Should have heeded your advice and avoid Samseng products like a plague.
Samsung products dont last, my Samsung RT21 fridge's freezer just gave problem after only 2 years, repaired yesterday n it costed rm400. My previous Mitsubishi & LG very lasting. Had bad experience with Samsung products 1st washing machine, then aircon, all didnt last. Bought the fridge cos like the features and size but really regret.

You see now, HAIYAA. Fridge better get Pana / Sharp / Hitachi

These r the spare parts replaced, was charged rm320 for the invertor board(100+ to 200+ in shopee) + overload relay(rm20 online) and rm80 for labour.

No cover by warranty?

Warranty one year with compressor 10 years.

It was not compressor parts. Not covered if you not buy extended warranty.
