Will try once bought.

Thanks for the explanation. I am using an inverter one now but since the metal cooling thing is being advertised so much, was wondering if the effect is as strong as they make it to be and if it’s worth to spend more for the metal cooling feature.

was watching this video about fridges

agree with everything except the 'where its made' point

Any model around 450-550L with 5 star energy saving can recommend?

Rather than saying where it's made, it's more like where it's assembled. I wouldn't ruled out there will be some minor differences when it comes to QC like the author mentioned.

Overall, that's a pretty fair assessment except for the author obsession with assembled/made in usa.

Agree

With that said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Made In Japan fridge if its not so damm expensive lol

was surveying on fridges recently and found out that some Hisense model actually uses a cantilever system for shelve adjustment

this is quite rare and usually only found in expensive high end European fridges

not a feature that will win me over to the brand but its interesting to know

so i've ultimately shortlisted 2 fridges for my new home.... both french doors and of similar capacity. However having a bit of dilemma now on which to go....

i) Panasonic Prime+ NR-CW530XMMM (Net 495L)


+ Love the exterior design
+ More features
+ Larger freezer space since the compressor is on top
+ More reliable? (solely based on the brand here)

- More expensive (cheapest I can find is around 4.5k after discounts)
- Comes with an auto ice maker (not sure if can consider this a con but its an extra thing waiting to go wrong in long term)
- The water tanks for both ice maker and water dispenser taking up space despite the larger net capacity volume
- The top most shelf have less space since the compressor is on top


ii) Hisense RQ568N4ABU (Net 432L)


+ Cheaper (1k+ cheaper compared to the Panasonic)
+ Prefer the interior space and layout (despite the net volume is lesser than above)
+ Exterior depth is lesser (700 vs 750mm). Frees up some space for my kitchen walkway
+ Basic features? (less things to go wrong in long term?)

- Exterior design is normal
- Basic features (i know am paying less and this could be a pro also)
- How reliable is Hisense??? (this is my biggest question)
- What about the after sales service incase I need it? (Google map review of Hisense Malaysia is not convincing https://goo.gl/maps/9NXXHgp613JAz8wU8?coh=178573&entry=tt)


Any comments?

Hi, I am currently looking for reversible door/right side open refrigerator. Prefer two doors 400-500L due to space limitation(W:800 x D:700).

So far I only managed to find Samsung but hesitate to buy this brand? Any other models that I could look out for?

I have the 720L french door Hisense
https://www.hisense.com.my/product/4-door-i...20l-rq758n4asv/

The drawers to the freezer all have metal glide runners which I almost never see on other fridges. Much smoother mechanism than plastic.



Have been using my fridge for around a year now, got it during Raya promo last year at RM3.4k only.

The Hisense fridge is pretty cold when I set it to 2C and as for Pana, I have 2 friends using Pana fridges which are not cold at all even at the coldest setting (more like 6-8C only). Strangely, I also read some comments about Pana aircon in the aircon thread not being that cold (vs other brands) due to emphasizing on power saving. Perhaps something you may want to look into/dig deeper.

Hi , want to share my experience ,

TOSHIBA fridge that has been in service for 15 years died last week.
It no longer cold m altho can feel air pumping into the chamber.

So , got new LG fridge as replacement but damn , macam slow to cold

First day memang slow... Best to put a few bottle of 1.5L water to help it cool.

Guys, Im looking for a very slim model type of fridge and the model I have shortlisted is Sharp SJX-508MS (or the black colour equivalent SJX-518GK) as it is within my budget, fits my requirement of a SBS with only a depth of 590mm and biggest capacity for its depth at 500L.

Anybody else using this model can share your review? Only downside is non-inverter.

Also is there any other slim model fridge with depth around 590mm as an alternative for my consideration?

SJX-508MS, 900mm (W) is not a slim type fridge.

toshiba GR-RS600WI-PMY(37), 835mm (W) this is called slim type fridge.

what is your width limit.

What i meant by slim is the depth. Discounting minibars and single door fridge, SJX-508MS with 590mm depth is the smallest i can find. But hoping otais here know better can chip in.

set your fridge spending and look at what choices are there.

french door with 850mm (W)

hisense
samsung
lg
toshiba
beko

Are you desperate to buy a new one? If not wait for Merdeka sales.

Just for your reference, I bought the Hisense unit that you are interested for RM2399 on November 2022 from Onking Online Store.

I'm in the position of surveying fridge as well

The shallowest depth i can find for SBS is Hisense's

Most are around 700mm +/- range. The Hisense is at 643mm iinm

https://www.hisense.com.my/product/side-by-...20l-rs688n4abu/

Do you really need it to be so slim? imo i would sacrifice some space just for the inverter since a fridge is on 24/7. The savings will be significant


Edit: there's also this Toshiba SBS with 635mm depth
