Hitachi door is OK.
Some panasonic fridge very tight hence difficult to pull it.

Hi all,

My 12 years old Samsung SR-30NMB fridge just don't chilled anymore, thinking to replace with Sharp 2 Door Fridge "HAPPIO" [SJ432TSL]

Is the Sharp fridge a good buy and save energy (electricity bill raises syndrome)?

Any feedback, opinion and suggestion are most welcome....

Forgot to ask, where to find the best deal of this Sharp fridge in KL/PJ? Btw, I stay in Kepong.

Many thanks all

My panasonic inverter fridge is still nice after 5 years and save energy too....

Hi Colim98:

SJ432TSL rated as 5 Stars Energy Saving therefore save energy. If your budget allow, may add few hundred to get
Sharp KAGAMI Series [SJPT-499GBK], this model give you more elegant look if you like glass door.

You may ask the price at Weng Hing Kepong, just beside to RHB Bank, opposite to Restaurant Happy Court, nearby AEON Big Kepong.

Alternatively, you may consider Hitachi fridge and compare with Sharp as the their price range nearly the same.

heya guys

anybody got xperience with Toshiba? this fairly new model WG71MDA
http://toshiba.com.my/refrigerator/gr-wg71...ml#.Uszwv_QW1aQ

Quite nice design and price wise quite ok for 650l. Price range from RM2799 at Sen Heng and RM2350 at Jintex.

My other selection is Samsung rt59fbsl;

Price in Best Denki is RM1999 but I saw in Lelong got some electric shop got 'warehouse clearance' sell it for RM1450 only.

I admit that Korean brand Samsung or LG some of their model design look nice, my general guideline, will go for Japaneses brand, therefore I will choose Toshiba between these 2.

Hi thanks for the feedback!

But Toshiba doesnt really have enough info... no energy info.. no stars whatsoever.. scared later consumption high. even on their website the info is scarce. its like there is no marketing at all for this model lol.

Hi Galaxy Angel,

Thank you so much for info sharing, really appreciated a lot

Yup, I know where Weng Hing is because the current Samsung fridge was bought from there...LOL
The problem with Weng Hing is if pay by credit card, 2% surcharge, and not sure if there is interest free installment, cash is always preferred method of payment..

Definitely I will drop by Weng Hing to check out the fridge model and price.

Thanks again for your opinion and suggestion, have a pleasant day

As just now you mentioned these 2 brand, therefore my answer will be Toshiba.
If this is the case, you might consider Sharp Kagami Series or Hitachi Big 2 Series, there are rated as 5 Stars Energy Saving.

Yup, agreed, there will be a surcharge by using the credit card.
You may try another shop HCH Electric, just beside to Zean shop (Builders Hardware), I find a good deal for my fan and hob + hood.

If you need the contact, let me know, will PM you.

For this model, you may try D'Legend at SS2. For cash payment, you will get cheaper than Senheng and Jintex. I know this because i get the quotation from them during last week's Modern Home Fair in PWTC

Allright will do look at these two items. These two design i think is practical and spacious, the compartment is deep and wide, so when they say 650l it really is 650l.

damnn thanks bro! everytime i check somewhere new the price seems down and down and down lol.

you can get cheaper price for most of the electrical appliances compare to other shops.But that also depends on your bargaining skills and the sales person that you met.

can you share your choice of ref as it seems like we have common budget and size in mind have u bought urs?

Yup, my Bosch is Turkey made, been using it for a month now. Not too many bell and whistle, but solid build and does it jobs pretty well, if you don't close your door in minutes, it will beeps you. When the cooling kicking in, the LED Bar filled up, indicates that it is working hard for you. I like it's build, stainless steel trim and glass panels. Only complain is the bottom compartment which store bottles are wide, bottles are drifted from side to side during door opens. Not very well for storing small diameters bottles like sauces or ketchup, but ok if you are storing those 1.5L soda.

Havent bought, I'm considering Sharp SJP791 and also R-Z710EM. Have to do extensive research and comparison. In dilemma considering amount of electricity bill saved if getting a 5 Star/Inverter fridge as compared to Toshiba.

Good choice, between Sharp and Hitachi.

hahaha exactly same as me. but Toshiba looks very nice, fits with the kitchen.

Recently, i go to my friend's house to look at his new Hitachi R-Z610EM fridge. I saw that this model have no lamp inside the freezer, my friend say nowadays all new fridges have no lamp inside the freezer already, is this true?

Feel very uncomfortable when searching for things stored inside the freezer with no lamp.

Hi, i will be moving this saturday and is in urgent need of a fridge. Appreciate your reviews and recommendations given the below.

Budget: 3-4K. Wont mind cheaper alternatives
Capacity: 500-600L Gross
Others: prefer conventional 2 doors (top fridge/bottom freezer) type.

Saw a fisher & paykel model e522-bss on sale at 4k. Is it a good buy?

In view of short time frame, all advice will be well appreciated.

p/s: where is the best place to shop for cheap electricals around Ampang area?
