Hey it was a discussion on native Inverter mfg.

Thanks. Are you using a smart adapter for consumption monitoring?
I ended up with a Panasonic....

Tapo P110

Guys any thoughts on LG fridge?

Model I’m interested is LG GC-B529NQCZ 454L 2 Door Bottom Freezer Fridge

side-by-side vs top-bottom

still in a dilemma on this, can't make up my mind on which one. i have read through google comments but still no clear conclusion can be made.

i believe some of you have gone through this as well. can you share which one did you selected, and if you are happy with it? what are the thing that you like and don't like?

personally i prefer top-bottom as to me it looks bigger and more flexible to store things, but wife prefers side-by-sde as it's easier to organise things

thanks in advance

First, where are you going to place the fridge?
If there is no obstacle on the left and right side then side by side will be suitable unless you want to bang bang the door on both sides.

no wall on both sides, planning to have the fridge at the middle, then tall cabinet at both sides.

as i see on the specs, most of the larger fridges have the depth of around 700++mm. so if my tall cabinet at both sides of the fridge is 600mm depth, it's still ok to fully open the door right?

thanks in advance


something like this

At 1st looking for big fridge top (freezer)/ bottom.
But after some physical survey, side by side feels more 'premium'.
And budget also increase abit.. but feels more 'puas hati' with the side by side.
Btw, side by side, the freezer smaller in width, but u get more spaces vertically and much better organizing stuff.

both also side by side or french door type?

are you happy with this decision? or wish to have bought the top-bottom type?

thanks

Left is Sharp 700+ litres French door. .. 6 years

Right is Hitachi 700+ litres SBS .... 2 years. Bought during mco to store more things.

The Sharp can also considered as top bottom type. The fridge is similar to the top bottom design. The bottom freezer is similar to the SBS. So is 3 in 1.

Samsung 8 yrs ok. Had to change something but have 10 yr warranty on compressor. At 1.5k, if last 10 yr, thwn cost of ownership only 150 per year. Not inc current. Very affordable.

fridge talk!!! im using panasonic 407l. been using almost 5 years now still going strong except for some dents. tho i didnt realized only 3 stars. i love lg designs but the ones i liked cant afford them. bought mine about 3k. now see at shops still same price.

got it, so the Sharp one is like top part fridge with 1 wide compartment area where the bottom freezer got 2 partitions ya

on the fridge part, do you feel 1 wide partition (Sharp) is better or 2 smaller one (Hitachi) is better?

Guys LG, Sharp, ok?

Panasonic is really paying high premium

Good no cheap.
Cheap no good.

For Pana, I will go for their air cond, fan, water heater, fridge

For Sharp, I will go for their fridge and small appliances

For LG, never a follower of their brand. Might consider their tv for future replacement.

😂😂😂 hopefully find a balance between...

Pana definitely good... I'm using LG Hxhc, looks good and works well, already 2 years... just afraid to recommend to parents... they need reliable brand, maybe Sharp is the one can balance between price and quality (hopefully)

Other brands like Hitachi or Sharp are OK.
Just dun get Samsung or Toshiba can already.
