Hey guys! home is a need of new Refrigerator can anyone recommend a good brand? budget around RM2500.
So currently I'm considering Hisense 2 Door Inverter 700L RT749N4ABVI with automatic Ice maker https://www.hisense.com.my/product/2-door-i...0l-rt749n4abvi/

but looking at the spec page the capacity net look like something is off, the refrigerator net is really absurdly low, I dont need more freezer space because have standalone freezer.

I think you can look around and find something better with 5 stars energy rating

Also try to avoid auto ice makers

Haier Side by Side HRF-689SI(GE) good? its a bit more than the budget. and there is no indication of the energy rating

update: is LG LG 694L  GC-B257JQYL refrigerator good? I heard LG linear compress is bad bad, dk if this uses it or not
*
Haier is considered the most reliable amongst the Chinese brands when it comes to fridge. Should be ok

The LG is using Smart Inverter.... should be conventional inverter instead of linear one

Personally I'm using Hisense side by side. 7 months in so far ok

Which brand still reliable as now?
Heard Panasonic is the most popular choice.
Besides Panasonic, what the other brands that you recommend.
Preferable bottom freezer as we have existing fridge using bottom.
Planning to get new for new house later.
*
you won't go wrong with Panasonic for bottom freezer. not much brand nowadays do 2 door bottom freezer anyway

your only other option is Samsung or LG iinm, and Bosch, Beko, Electrolux

We end out getting Hisense 4 Door Inverter 720L RQ768N4ABU due to 3 zone temperature control, and discount on Lazada.
So far so good smile.gif . Its very large and very quiet too, only thing missing is adjustable humidity control on the crisper; We not going to ran out of space anytime soon whistling.gif

I was worried at first it is making crackling noise during first couple hours of power up.
*
some noises from the fridge is normal, usually when the compressor kicks in. as long its not too abnormally loud or last too long

Hi,
I was told that Hisense does not have a service centre in malaysia. So, their after sales service may be a big issue..
what is your thought on this?

I am also planning to buy a new fridge (SBS or 4-door type), and i hv shortlisted the below brands:
1) Samsung
2) Hisense
3) Hitachi

Appreciate your input, thanks!
*
Not sure where you heard that from but they do have a service line here, maybe its just outsourced to third party at worse case. Anyway not a concern to me because their fridges are usually cheaper compared to other brands of the same size and spec. As long it can last minimum 5 years (fingers crossed) without issues then its fine to me. If you are concerned then purchase extended warranty from the shop as well

First you need to determine the spacing for your fridge. I ended up with Hisense because its the only model that fit my space perfectly in terms of depth and of course budget wise its cheaper

hi, wanted to get feedback and experience sharing from those who bought new fridge lately. Growing up using the conventional 2 door top freezer fridge, I want to know if side by side door, bottom freezer is preferable? I personally think squatting down to reach for frozen items is a definite disadvantage at the same time having multiple compartment for storage  is a plus point. Space is a constraint as we are living in a condo, hence the ability to open selected door and not blocking walkaway is another pro. The last point was shared by the sales agent, so I couldn't validate how true it is. Any inputs for consideration are most welcomed

French door and side by side both are good for tight space

Sbs/multi door if can
But mainly I wanna maximise the space given
So anything that can fit in 180h*85w I'm happy
*
SBS typically wider around 90cm+, you can try searching for multidoor instead but height will be an issue

This seems to fit your requirements. Take note you still need to leave gaps around your fridge

Yes generally considered reliable just expensive compared to other brands

It's around lg/Sammy/beko those price
So fair I guess?

If compare size and features yes most of them are similar. Samsung multi door and SBS is cheaper i think, around 3 - 4k+ range, but i dont think any of them will fit your space

For me when it comes to fridge, the simpler the better, less chances of things to break considering a fridge is the only thing that is on 24/7 in your house. So I just paid like 2k+ for a Hisense SBS with plenty of space

May I know how did you ended up with hisense sbs? I saw many negative google reviews on their fridge. Most of their fridges can't last more than 3 years and spare parts took forever to arrive
*
because it's cheap and it's the only fridge that suits my space requirement perfectly

also I have extended warranty from HM so anything within the period just claim from them

so far 1 year in seems to be working fine still
