560L MR-F62EG (Mitsubishi) @ RM3080
610L NR-TZ601BPSM (Panasonic) @ RM3450
670L Pelican (Sharp) @ RM2940
720L Pelican (Sharp) @ RM3200
- via my local electrical store.

Seems like Sharp value for money.

how many litres fridge is enough? Live in apartment, 900 sqft. Meals eat home 4-5 times a day, weekends eat outside.

Buy the biggest that space permits.

Yes. One should go for the biggest possible fridge.

I am still using my Electrolux fridge. So far so good. 8 years already.

anyone using VX490PM9?

how is it compare to sharp sjp55mk or sjp598? they are around the same price range but the dual fan seems better?

What's a good recommendation for 180*80 cm space refrigerator? That's the cabinet size , means my fridge have to be smaller then that

Anyone can recommend me with a fridge that fits my space? width 910 x depth 600 x height 1900, depth is what making my choices difficult

Can you guys suggest a refrigerator that capacity around 600L with 5 attached rating?

My mum wish to get two units fridge, one for wet kitchen and another for dry.

For wet kitchen I’ll go for Beko RDNT231I50VZS, while dry kitchen still no idea yet.

What I did was go to those big electrical shops (HN, HLK, Grand Senheng, etc.), bring along a measuring tape, and start checking all the fridges available there. Of coz you can check from the specs online, but physical touching, seeing the shelves, etc. will make it easier for you to choose.

Dual cooling fan is better to regulate two diff spaces with diff temp & prevents ice build up.

end up go for this hitachi VX490PM9

Guys gone through few comments here but still need some enlightments.I will go for Panasonic after seeing the good reviews here.


Which one is good and reliable
1)SBS vs top-bottom vs French
2)Top freezer vs Bottom freezer

1) I have SBS & top bottom. I prefer SBS for usage. My frequently used stuff is easily access in eye level.

2) I own both. Bottom freezer feels like it has a bigger freezer/easier to use, due to drawer design. Again, on paper bottom freezer is better, but I think if you use freezer less the bottom design makes more sense. Again eye level and accessibility.

I’ve got a Panasonic, 3 Samsungs and 1 Midea. All so far so good.

SBS and French door main difference is in the refrigerator IMO. SBS has the whole height of the fridge thus more generous with height spacing. Even with the newer slimmer and taller design for canned drinks, it is not a problem. French door does feel a bit inconvenient when you open the wrong side and also the height problem for certain tray level unless you sacrifice 1 level in the middle.

I think top and bottom freezer dont really differ that much in terms of power consumption, given it's all inverter now.

SBS vs French door, I prefer French door. Just dislike the column in the middle for SBS. Also SBS compartment wont be wide enough to accommodate some wide items that normally fits typical fridge design

In the end it really boils down to personal preference

Which refrigerator is easiest to clean the internals?

Guys,fridge at my mothers place quite old.Currently i realize its producing some weird pop sound like a small explosion and another sound like water flows.Any idea whats wrong?

Currently toying between these 2 models, can't made up my mind yet. I have listed out the + and - points based on my observation for each of them:

1) Toshiba GR-AG66MA (link here)
+ Cheaper (3k vs 3.8k if based on the price in Shopee)
+ Auto ice maker (convenient)
+ Nicer gradient door colour pattern
+ Dairy tray on top of the fridge
+ Door pocket with cover, good for cosmetics with more separation from food stuff
- Auto ice maker (took up some space at both the fridge and freezer area, and if it breaks down then the space will be wasted for nothing)
- Handle need to open from the top of the door instead from the side

2) Hitachi R-VG750PM-1 (link here)
+ Look more elegant and nicer vertical handle
+ Wider with smaller depth, make it easier to put stuff in and out
+ Flexible manual ice maker
- Price is higher (3.8k vs 3k if based on the price in Shopee)
- Only black colour glass door available - fingerprint magnet
- Dairy tray at the bottom of the fridge (above the vege tray)

Would like to see for some comments here, if any other considerations I shall put in place? Any existing users to share some feedback?

Also in term of after sales support, how is Toshiba vs Hitachi?

Thanks in advance
