Sifus, I'm thinking to get the Panasonic Prime+ Premium 4 Door fridge NR-YM590YMMM, is current generation of Panasonic considered good quality? My old Pana fridge still happily chugging along and want to upgrade size, but dunno if quality of brand had dropped.

After reading why everyone not recommend samsung? My samsung fridge already 9 yrs. No issue and problem.
Have a plan tk get new one bigger for samsung.
Anyone can suggest new samsung model bigger?

Their 3 door side by side worth considering. They are the only brand to ofter this layout / configuration. The other one I know is Hitachi but theirs is hard to find and very expensive

Also they offer 20 years warranty for their compressors now


I've also learnt from my experience since last year and these past few months surveying electrical appliances for my new house - its really all down to luck nowadays

Many here will tout Japs brands to be more reliable, but I've also seen people complaining about issues with their Panasonic, Sharp, Hitachi fridges. Unless u willing to spend more than 10k on those imported from Japan fridges then just MAYBE you would get that reliability lah

The only factor to consider about buying fridges nowadays is the less fancy features it have then you lower the probability for it to break down. Especially avoid auto ice makers.

Can recommend SBS fridges.
Size > 600L better
Dimensions and price doesn’t matter
Need reliable brand that can last long.
Too many fridges in market doesn’t know which brand better.

Hows your experience with hisense fridge? Got any issues.
Interested with this 720L fridges also, saw it and looks very nice and sturdy the inside with metal rail

Did you buy your fridge yet? I’m also in a similar situation where a right side opening is more suitable.

No issues at all. Fridge is really cold and if set at 2C it is really 2C or colder when checked with a digital thermometer.... unlike my friend's Panasonic fridge which does not go below 7C which I suspect due to power saving priority. Check my previous posts.

Oh really..
Im using Electrolux (sbs). The temp seems true to the setting.
Measure with thermometer, default cooling 5c.

I think recommended to keep milk below 4C. My friend's Pana fridge at around 7C, the yoghurt was turning sour already.

I see.
Currently all my food/milk/yogurt seems ok at the default 5c.
Btw, if opened dairy, we try to 'finish' it as soon as possible.. not to keep very long..

Generally its recommended to keep at 4C fridge and -18 for freezer . Mine is at 3C/-20

Samsung? For real?
I have replaced 2 samsung refrigerator in 6 years

anyone have recommended french door fridge? which brand are good? i saw samsung can give up to 20 years warranty for the motor.

Compressor is free but labour to check and replace is not free.

Using a Panasonic Econavi NR-B468X inverter type
All of sudden the led lights are blinking and the Econavi panel will also blink off then on again.
The fridge still cools and freezes fine for now.
It is only 4 years old. Seems a bit early to be looking for a new fridge.
Hmmm

Why not call for support then repair? For sure cheaper than buying a new one.

Hello,

Do we have any toshiba , sharp or any.. side - side door with less 90 cm wide?

any comments for below
1.) ELBA 520L Multi Door Refrigerator EMR-H5244D(BS)
2.) Panasonic 610L Inverter 2-Door Top Freezer Refrigerator NR-TZ601BPSM

Panasonic > All

Different capacity and layout, at least compare with a similar model.
However Panasonic is with 5 stars energy level while I don't see any energy level mention on Elba website.
