*shrugs* I use a Electrolux and it is okay. I think any fridge you get can work well for at least 5-10 years if not longer so long as it is well taken care of. I don't recommend fridges with fancy ice and water dispensers though as it seems to require more maintanence.
Otherwise, get a fridge with long warranty and option to renew if necessary. |

maytag has to be the best at the moment. kelvinator is now made in australia, so for those who are looking for a made in the USA fridge they might want to stick with maytag. electrolux is always reliable. i don't trust sharp, samsung etc. too new in the market.

@johnsonm,
The new fridge mom purchased when we shifted a couple of years ago seems to be working fine by me; it's a Samsung btw - except we don't quite like the side by side doors; maybe we just don't know how to utilise space but we find it not spacious enough |

I am looking to buy a new refrigerator, have been survey few brand, I like the LG desgin but it didn't stated energy saving, the only fridge that claims save energy is Sharp, Hitachi and Panasonic
Sharp - Claim can save up to 25% of electricity bill via their advanced compressor in the fridge Hitachi - Claim can save up to 15% of energy through "minus-zero" technology Panasonic - Inverter technology, can save energy Which brand is better deal ? the price for Sharp and Hitachi is quite similiar but Panasonic is more pricey. Based on the spec. Look like Sharp can save the "most" electricity, anyone use Sharp here, can you share your view, can it really save that much ? Thanks |

am also on the lookout for fridge as well. moving into new house pretty soon
 I must thank you for the above info... with the recent global financial crisis, expenditure(electricity bill) must be really thought through for these purchases.. how about the warranty period ? would that be a good deciding factor for you? awaiting some sifu's advices yah ... |

Re electricity saving features, there's a sticker with TNB certification or something like that stuck on the fridge model when we see the fridges on display at the shops.
I just bought the Toshiba http://www.toshiba.com.my/product/product_...id=GR%20YG73MDA ...it was like an impulse purchase, fell in love with the tempered glass front, real sleek looking |

hi everyone..
Me thinking bout buying a Fridge too .. Thats why go through this forum.. I am Looking at 300 - 350L Fridge... the brand that i might go for is Toshiba , Samsung or LG ( i think price is around 1200++ to 1400++ i think ), Panasonic i notice a bit Ex le ... beside that will also consider the Warranty period / After sales service too... Just a question...Any place which can get a Good Price or Good Bargain for Buying Fridge /Washing Machine at Puchong area , or Neighbouring area , May i say around Klang Valley la...... Ppl always tell me to go to Those Small Shop instead of Shopping Centre / Hypermarket / etc... They said can get Better Bargain There... Any SHOP suggestion or recommendation ?... Thanks...

dannyl77,
maybe u should ask the shop whether the price is included transportation and installation... and how long is their warranty they provided... some is expensive with longer warranty tenure and 0% installment like the SENQ usually sell more expensive than hypermarket but with better service and warranty... for 32" LCD RM1680, the cost price almost there, maybe no included transportation and cash & carry... or maybe any warranty issues refer direct to distributor instead... just afraid that they may provide u the used units, so be mind on the packaging's sealing... like carrefour they always selling sample unit with different pricing... if anything wrong guarantee they will serve you... as i remember harvey norman at sunway pyramid selling 32" LCD Samsung with RM17XX last week, quite worth as well... both also got pros and cons, depend on you how to justify and your requirements...

Yar, now days got 1+1 Year , 1+2 Years extendend warranty , 1year All risk insurance, etc ... so , that's to be consider too... maybe u should ask the shop whether the price is included transportation and installation... and how long is their warranty they provided... some is expensive with longer warranty tenure and 0% installment like the SENQ usually sell more expensive than hypermarket but with better service and warranty... for 32" LCD RM1680, the cost price almost there, maybe no included transportation and cash & carry... or maybe any warranty issues refer direct to distributor instead... just afraid that they may provide u the used units, so be mind on the packaging's sealing... like carrefour they always selling sample unit with different pricing... if anything wrong guarantee they will serve you... as i remember harvey norman at sunway pyramid selling 32" LCD Samsung with RM17XX last week, quite worth as well... both also got pros and cons, depend on you how to justify and your requirements...

Yeah "for life" is a very indefinite concept. If can get 10 years out of a fridge is not bad already.

QUOTE(Clareen @ Nov 30 2008, 06:27 PM) I think samsung one more better i heard. to some extent, i agree that mitsubishi fridge seems better than the toshiba.. i love the foldable tray.. the doors also feel solid.. but, it is at least a few hundred ringgits more expensive than toshiba coz the parts are imported from japan while the toshiba is from thailand.. in the end, i bought the toshiba glass door because for capacity to capacity comparison it is cheaper. plus it has 5 star energy rating too Added on November 30, 2008, 5:28 pm I think mitsubishi is better.  (high energy efficiency as according to suruhanjaya tenaga) |

Need some feedback from you guys.
I notice that some fridge got different configuration. Some has the freezer on top and some at the bottom. (In fact, only Panasonic has the ones at the bottom that I know of). I know that the advantage of the bottom freezer is that it is easier to take things like vegetables without bending down. But the disadvantage is (I heard from salesman) that the fridge will not be as cold as compared to top freezers. Is this true? Also, what other Pros and Cons when comparing Top and Bottom Freezers in fridges? |

HELLO,i am a salesman in a chain-store electrical shop ....here is my comments to some brands refrigerator:
PANASONIC- is a very good quality refrigerator which have function of twin bio system which can effectively reduce smelly n kill germs n bacteria .but however due to panasonic desigh that freezer located at bottom, it makes unperfect...because in freezer compartment,we have to put foods in drawer that makes us hard to open it n close it...we have some case tat customer broken the drawer n find us to order it. SHARP _ is a ver well-known brand refrigerator tat i think our old parents will say yes to sharp fridge...n with 2-doors fridge,it got many model likes:happio series (economical):very basic n cheap price model ,"middle " model which is "plasmacluster" model fridge n a classic n elegant model fridge N SHARP 2-doors fridge is rated as 5 star energy efficiency fridge...approved by suruhanjaya tenaga  TOSHIBA-very worthful fridge because for larger fridge,got many spec tat other brand fridge cannot compare likes: UV-LED CHILLER ROOM, AG+ VEGETABLE CRISPER (new model),LED fridge lamp (new model)..... n elegant, stylish appearance LG - elegant look which is flat doors tat can match every kitchen room ....green ion deodorizer,(for certain model) SAMSUNG - very cheap n economical fridge ....very simple spec actually any interests,or any enquiry about price,just sms/call /pm me ,my number is 016-648 9355 we can deliver all goods to most of the kl n selangor area ......n actually we got branches in PASIR PUTEH,SRI MANJUNG (PERAK )......TQ  |

Hey I am moving into a new house soon
I need a fridge too Is it worth it to use an Inverter Fridge as I am thinking of buying 1 right now. Yeah I know it costs more but I think it does save energy in the long run right? like in 5 years time |

Yes better get a energy saving type. Fridge is the most energy sucker. And you got to stick with it at least 10yrs before it die.

Hi, I just bought HITACHI 2-door Refrigerator last Saturday.
Model : RZ410AM 402 Liters Capacity Minus-Zero Cooling Triple clean system Tempered glass shelves No-Frost & CFC Free Price; around RM1400.00 ++ First I look at Panasonic 2 door, but the towkay said Hitachi is much better with energy saving technology. The tempered glass is so classic. |

Myself also just bought a Hitachi R-S800GM (Black) side by side fridge, it looks really nice & i am happily using it now. The most impressing part is the ice/water dispensing system, it makes clean ice from a built-in tank system & you can enjoy clean ice and water anytime from a tank water supply system . No plumbing & no changing of filter water (which is costly) required... QUOTE(sranua @ Jul 21 2009, 03:09 PM) Hi, I just bought HITACHI 2-door Refrigerator last Saturday.

For standard fridge (< RM 3k)...

for a good deal - even on highend products - try ESH in SS2. they offer a lot of bosch items. got a great deal on a bosch fridge and fagor dishwascher (didnt want to shell out 5k on a similar bosch just for the name. fagor energy rating was just as good and it cleans great).

FIrst of all, your diagram is wrong and do not know what you talking about. All these lower freezer compartment design is a drawer design. You just pull the door and its slide out and you spend less time on your toe peering deep inside frozen stuff at the top compartment.. more worst on bigger fridge.Further more with a smaller bottom compartment for freezer, the angle at which you need to approach in order to get the stuff out is steeper, ie need to bend more (attached friendly diagram) There is a reason why all these lower freezer compartment design. You spend less time digging out freezer vs fridge so you actually stress your back less with these new design. And if you need to get to the lower compartment unit, you squat down and not bend down. If you look at your fridge, 99% vegetable are at the bottom and the rest is scattered all over. Now you have all the frequently used items are above knee high and you will standing straight more than bend over... |

just brought samsung side-by-side fridge
RS20NASH rm2865 at an electric shop in tmn equine Added on September 15, 2009, 12:00 pmjust found this QUOTE Buyers Guide http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=refr...s_refrigerators* Ask for an ENERGY STAR model. When buying a refrigerator, request an ENERGY STAR qualified model to ensure it is energy efficient. * Check the yellow EnergyGuide label. Use this label to determine the model’s energy use, compare the energy use of similar models, and estimate annual operating costs. Learn How to Use the EnergyGuide Label Exit ENERGY STAR. * Consider buying a refrigerator with a top-mounted freezer. Models with top-mounted freezers use 10–25% less energy than bottom-mount or side-by-side models. * Purchase an appropriately sized refrigerator. Generally, the larger the refrigerator, the greater the energy consumption. The most energy-efficient models are typically 16–20 cubic feet. * Consider skipping the ice-maker and dispenser. Automatic ice-makers and through-the-door dispensers increase energy use by 14–20%. They also raise the purchase price by $75–250. This post has been edited by interferens: Sep 15 2009, 12:00 PM |

Sometime when you all buy fridge don't just go fo biggest size possible if $ allow.
You need to check to ensure if the home minister find it useful. Also having bigger fridge also means more crap and disorganized layout unless you spend some time with container to organize your fridge. With such technology today, go for some thing else that make using the fridge easy. One thing like I like nowaday with Hitachi and Mitsubishi is their soft freeze or versa cooling where yuo can control each compartment temp and also separation of circulation air to prevent cross fouling of smell. I find it very difficult to have ice compartment next to freezer where all the raw meat are located...Other brand such as Toshiba/Panasonic/Sharp have not released their multi door system yet so far. I was split between Hitachi and Mitsubishi and at the end bought the Folio MRS455?? Basically a 5 door design(no its not those 2 big swing french door which I hate). The soft freeze is amazing as I can cut the ground meat despite being frozen, it just nice. The temp is about -7 to -9 vs -19 at freezer department. So no more defrosting. Sausage and hot dog can be separated with minimal effort! |

Hey, anyone can recommend me a refrigerator with the doors opening to both side, it's called French door is it? I'm considering either Sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba or Electrolux.
Those that have ice maker in front, is it good? |

Well yea, the insides of the fridge is small unless you buy those US standard size - those are really huge and expensive here too.i am looking at the panasonic inverter 460L... French door fridges are better. At least when you open the fridge door, it's half the size of a wide fridge hence, saving space(if you have a tight kitchen). Saw a Hitachi one in Harvey Norman. Very nice!!! But i think around 3k plus. |

a nice big fridge certainly adds up a 'wow' factor to your already nice kitchen but bear in mind the electrical bill... If you ain't cooking daily it just doesn't worth it imo...

You want to have cold water? If that is the case, just get the ice or those with auto ice maker.This way you can have any drink that is cold instead of just cold water. Auto ice maker are very convenient and the water stored for making ice have various size. Anything that carry 1liter of water will give you a good amount of ice and ice maker can make ice as fast as 30-40mins. |

I bought the Panasonic NR-BY601XS inverter fridge as well. Internally, it's not as fancy as other brands, more utilitarian and functional. The freezer compartment does not have lights, which I found to be peculiar for such a big fridge.
It's very difficult to quantify whether it saves me electricity, I just started using it in my new place. |

More accurately, find out the energy consumption per year.
You can refer to the Singapore National Environment Agency's website where there is a database of test results for registered appliances (fridge, aircon, etc). This should help you on your research. Do take note, esp for aircon, that not all models available in MY are available in SG, and vice versa: http://els.nea.gov.sg/mels/aircon.asp |

I think most refrigerators don't have lights in the freezer section, maybe for high end ones? |

Hi everyone
Im contemplating between Hitachi RZ 560EM (435L) and RZ 490 EM (395L). Not much difference on the volume, the larger one is an extra rm300. My concern is more on the design. One is wider but shorter (the more expensive one) compared to the other, hence even tho it is wider, the distance between the 'rack' is lesser. Which design is better, thin and tall OR short and wide? HELPP!! |

Hi !
I will be moving into a new house soon too ( currently based in sabah). Looking for fridge too. ...I need recommendation. But before that below are my observation from here & outsider; 1. Electrolux - expensive 2. Panasonic - lots of bad review about the compressor being at the bottom of the fridge 3. Samsung - ok ok 4. Sharp - someone say can save 25% energy ? 5. Hitachi - someone too mention can save 15% energy ? 6. Toshiba - ok ok..only that it has a blue light..due to the plasma effect. Ive now narrow my selection down to Toshiba or Hitachi . Can anybody recommend me further to be from the both ? Below are the requirements (well..almost); 1. Price ( Below RM1800) 2. Size ( Enough for 2 pax and soon growing family..maybe 42-48L pehaps?) 3. Energy saving Help Help!!!! Added on March 13, 2011, 10:27 amryanna Im also on the same boat as u. Ive observe that some the distance between the rack is far . I kinda like that one too..I think it was the 49L or 48L..im not sure. If u have decided..let me know too ok. This post has been edited by Beverley: Mar 13 2011, 10:27 AM |

I have few models of fridge to consider:
1)Panasonic NR-BY601XS - inverter save 40% of electricity but freezer at the bottom. Some forum member says can get RM2,700. What a good price. Any comment for this fridge? 2) Sharp SJPT66HRS - Some shop says this model has been discountinued. SJPT71RHS is still available but too big for me. 3) Toshiba GR-RG68MDA - really likes the black colour tempered glass. Manage to get cash price at RM2,158 4) Hitachi R-Z660EM some shops says has been discountinued. But R-Z610EM still available at RM1999. Can save up to 25% of electricity. Can share your view with me. Thanks. |

Thanks. heard that the best fridge (long lasting) are from hitachi (being the best), then followed by sharp (best value) and toshiba (somewhat better quality or design). panasonic fridge have a problem with their top compartment (refrigerator compartment) as it's not as cold as other usual freezer-on-top models. and the freezer drawer tend to get stuck are a while, probably because of ice on the railing. on the upside, most of the freezer-down-below models have a larger freezer compartment compared to the usual on the top variants. the panasonic models does have a somewhat larger freezer size. and the freezer drawer helps if you store lots of small, loose items. can fill the items up to the brim and never worry for them to fall down. if you go for the usual freezer on top models then most of the time the items would be arranged like a hill/slope inside the compartment. and also know the problem if you have a toddler inside the house as it's easier for them to open the freezer as it's down below. the bigger panasonic models have the entire freezer compartment like a drawer. could pose a problem if there's water on the railing and it turns to ice. i found this big sharp french door sj-f70pv-sl at seng heng selling for RM2999.  supposed to be a value for money model without plasmacluster & quick freezing. models that comes with the functions easily costs RM4.5k and RM5k-something. 556l nett volume. dirt cheap for the volume and design. french door with freezer compartment below. and looks gorgeous. loved the separate compartments, wide fridge compartment and large bottle holder. will fit 2 of my 2l yogurt nicely. but wife insists that it's gonna be too big for our cramped kitchen. so in the end had to get something smaller. went with a panasonic nr-bw414.  418l with large vegetable compartment and chilled compartment. at least now that the chilled compartment is located waist high it'll get used more. the freezer compartment is also bigger (130l) compared to usual fridge with top freezer. and there's no side pockets on the freezer door which we can't use anyway. looking back at the installed fridge, i think a bigger one wouldn't hurt. once you put in all the foodstuffs then it doesn't look that big anymore. well at least we're keeping our old 200l samsung. 618l total storage should cater for 3 more kids got the 418l pana for RM1.7k (stainless steel door as got heard that stainless steel wouldn't russ in the long run compared to the normal door). and didn't went with the inverter as i don't really believe the inverter would save much if you keep opening the fridge every 5 minutes. |

Not sure of being discon for sjpt66hrs i still see alot at electrical store la, i am using sjpt66rhs as i got it for 2.2k last time if not mistaken so far so good.as for sjpt71rhs i think it not that much bigger also, just its with bigger lower compartment 375 v 416L storage with same freezer size and its slighty taller with same width. i guess the price is around 2.6k. Maybe you shud go for survey more shops, as shops like to sell what they have INSTOCK items so he might just talk crap

QUOTE(lck*G9 @ Apr 19 2011, 04:28 PM) never thought about the compartment issue. thanks for the info the compartment issue is kindda big. got a few friend that regretted getting side by side as they lose the wide shelf. my cousin which is living next door to me are forced to reuse his old fridge as his new side by side samsung is just too narrow. Wow... that's cheap... may i know where to find that and how wide is a french door fridge? the problem i'm having now is the kitchen cabinet only have 3 ft wide which is just nice for a side by side fridge. and since you've asked, i did measured the sharp french door to see if it'll fit my kitchen. it's 35" wide x 30" depth x 68" high. other french door are about that size plus minus an inch or two. make sure to allow for about 2 inch in every direction for ventilation. the hitachi that i say selling for RM3k is R-W720EM  it's a bit narrower compared to the sharp but higher. QUOTE(jj5 @ Apr 20 2011, 08:37 AM) Thanks Paskal for your opinion. the drain tray are not usually accessed. never seen any new fridges that don't have the drain tray. most are located behind the fridge.bteoh, Electrolux is very famous brand in Europe. But do you see any "drain tray" at the bottom of the fridge? I have seen one in the 2 door fridge model. Not sure other brand such as Toshiba, Sharp & Panasonic have this drain tray or not. i've seen a few models that have the drain tray in front for easy access. my mum's toshiba have it in front underneath the door. had to buy one that have it in front as she's paranoid because her old national leaked water and the drain tray are fully every week or so. her new toshiba never needed to empty the tray. been 3 years (or issit 4) and we've never emptied the tray. my panasonic have it, my old samsung has it. and i've seen a few sanyo have it in front. never seen any fridge that didn't have it located somewhere. |

Consider Toshiba GR-R72MD or GR-RG68MDA. Jintex is selling at RM2058 & RM2158 respectively. Think GR-RG68MDA with black colour tempered glass, just RM100 more expensive than GR-R72MD. Is the selling price reasonable?

Is the selling price reasonable? the r72md is 580l nett storage.the rg68mda is 523l nett storage. for RM100 less you get a larger storage space but lose the glass door and automatic icemaker. if i were you i'd get the larger volume. i don't really trust the auto icemaker would last as long as the fridge itself when it's operating under subzero temperature 24/7. electromechanical equipment below freezing point? no thanks. and not to mention i can't seem to find if the icemaker in the rg68mda is replaceable to a manual unit. but the prices does seem reasonable. most shops here up north are selling the rg68mda for RM2.4k and the lowest price i got last week is RM2.2k |

I'm in the midst of looking for a fridge too. I saw the fridge with freezer at the bottom (can't remember which model). I didn't like it coz from what i see..i can't properly stack the tupperwares. Furthermore, space is lost as there's no space at the door unlike top freezer, there's additonal space at the door.

It is very subjective and depend on individual experience.I myself using panasonic fridge for over 10yrs. Very reliable and no issue at all. If ask me to get another fridge, I will choose panasonic defineatly. |

I was thinking about having this but then with built in fridge, you need to have additional ventilation unit(usually on the top cabinet above the fridge) for it to work effectively. Then you have to consider what if the ventilation unit fails and your fridge will have issue. It is not worth it for the nice integrated look. Instead I got a nice mirror door fridge which looks nice to be displayed |

Consider buying a refrigerator with a top-mounted freezer. Models with top-mounted freezers use 10–25% less energy than bottom-mount or side-by-side models. My question : Even nowadays with Inverter technology, bottom-mount models is still using 10-25% more energy than top-mounted freezer?? |

I bought the Kagami Series 499bk
Wanted to buy those with bottom freezer from mitsubishi but the salesman tell me that top freezer more enery saving plus compressor also last longer. Summore the space not as much as top freezer. Finally bought it because the glass effect looks cool.  |

hi all,
is samsung fridge good? durable? last month i book a toshiba GR-R35MD (gross 350liter, net capacity 275L), but just saw a samsung RT41RSTS (gross 410L, net 337L) with 5-star energy rating (which means i can claim rm200 for energy saving from government), after discount almost same price with the Toshiba i booked. same amount of $$ (samsung higher rm100, but i can claim rm200 back), i get bigger storage compartment. is it worth? But samsung dont have so much fancy fancy feature as the Toshiba (plasma deodorizer lah, UV fresh guard lah, etc etc). But the Toshiba dont have the 5-star energy rating label (so i assume it is more power hungry than the samsung, though it is smaller size?). any sifu use samsung fridge? or this model is actually going to phase out, they sell cheap cheap to clear stock? another thing, when they put 5-star energy rating label on the fridge, does that means it is more energy save than those no label fridge (with the same amount of volume capacity)?? |

Sharp 'Quattro' 4 Door Fridge [SJF72RVSL]. I'm quite impressed with the design but not sure about the noise level & energy efficiency. Staying in a small condo with the fridge nearby the living hall - noise will be a consideration. Any idea? |

Sifus, Is there any tax applicable by custom if one would import fridge from Korea for example? I heard there are so many latest designs and cheaper by almost 40% compared to M'sia and their power voltage is also suitable to use in M'sia. Is that true?

Where got so cheap, unless your goods can be handle rough.
You need to add minimal 30% tax. And S.Korea electric maybe 110v, and 60hz. Voltage is not a problem can get step down transformer but frequency may cause problem. |

Korean is using 60hz, 50hz or 60hz is not a problem if your appliance are running DC or being converted from AC to DC. AC motor that drive the compressor are dependent on the frequency. Unless the model you think of getting are Inverter which may not be a problem. http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1224 I been import lots of things from oversea since the stat of ebay, even Notebooks and Monitors all this are tax free so not a problem. Think I know what i am talking about. So don't look only the voltage check the frequency too. |

As what u said, the latest fridge/ Aircon nowadays comes with an invertor. The M'sian prices do still burns a big hole in the pocket for these latest technology , unless we get 'em from the country's origin tax free.
But still, no one can answer officially whether importing huge expensive elect items would not attract any duties..Hmmm |

Thanks weikee, I guess i have to ask forwarding agent more clarification about this cos under the item description "841821" by customs - refrigeration household type - compression type - no tariff is imposed unless certificate of approval by D.G Electrical Supply Malaysia. And with millions of electrical products from thailand, China etc flooding into the market, with more variable voltage and frequencies, wonder how those bypass the customs regulations.

I'm in a dilemma...I've narrowed down to getting a french door refrigerator either from Sharp or Hitachi.
Sharp - the freezer is at the bottom with 6 drawer compartments Hitachi - freezer is at the top with 2 level shelves (like the normal top freezer refrigerators) with a water dispenser, which you need to fill the tank..rather than havign piping. I've been googling and i've read that freezer at the bottom is much more energy efficient compared to the freezer at the top (as hot air rises, it will take lesser energy to keep the bottom freezer cold compared to top freezer)...though i've received a comment from a friend not to get the bottom freezer (but he didn't further explain why). what are you sifus advice?

I just bought the Toshiba GR-R72MD (710l) for RM1900 from Homedec (Toong Heng Electronics).
It's basically the same as the GR-RG73MDA, except it's not got the glass front, and about RM400 cheaper. I hope it lasts! |

I personally think that Samsung and LG has the best design around. Toshiba is durable and Hitachi is a less prefer brand. Electrolux is more famous but certainly not at the fridge sector. Personally i would buy Samsung as the design and quality is good too.

sifus..i'm now getting confused. Please enlighten me on the bottom or top freezer..which ones is for energy efficient?
I checked online but they say bottom freezer is energy efficient as heat rises ....but some says that it's quite the opposite as energy is used more to push the cold air to the bottom. sigh! |

Bottom or top frezeer doesn't relate to energy efficient/saving. I checked online but they say bottom freezer is energy efficient as heat rises ....but some says that it's quite the opposite as energy is used more to push the cold air to the bottom. sigh! It is about your back. Those manufacturing doing r&d conclude that you open the Fridge door more than the frezeer door. So it it more logic to place the freezer at the bottom than ontop. You no need to bend down to take something frequent for the fridge side. |

When coldness has been achieved, the motor doesn't stop, it merely slows down. When temperature rises, the motor doesn't has to restart from scratch but merely speeds up. Invertor works on DC current. So AC current has to be converted to DC current and there is a power lost of 10% when doing so. So in situation whereby the motor has to be continuously running, then Invertor motor actually uses more power. For example. Putting a tiny air conditioner in a huge room. That's how I understand it. |

QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Dec 4 2011, 12:11 AM) Non-inverter compressor has constant RPM no matter when it has achieved the set temperature. It means either fully stop or fully running. Stop-Start operation consuming more power similar to car running in city with all those traffic jam On contrary, the inverter compressor has variable RPM depends on rising temperature or constant temperature. There is no stop-start operation. Merely slows down or speeds up, hence saving power. Similar to driving on highway whereby you never have to fully stop and fully start up again As I stated earlier on regarding the inverter fridge which has the most significant energy saving result in comparison to inverter washer and inverter aircond. We switch on the fridge 24/7 but aircond we don't, correct? How often do you open the fridge door? If not often then fridge temperature hardly change so no need for stop-start operation. If there are no stop-star, there is no power power saving. But with air conditioner, we heard stop-start going on several times during the night. The more stop-start being prevented, the more power saving with Invertor. How many of us use long hours of aircond at home? and out of how many hours is the energy saving mode? we do not know. Inverter aircond is hard to maintain set temperature especially in the afternoon or in a humid night. For a small air cond in a big room, what you say is correct. That is why I said Invertor will not save power if you use a tiny air cond in a big room. But in a properly sized room, Invertor air cond saves a lot of power Added on December 4, 2011, 7:55 am QUOTE(ozak @ Dec 4 2011, 12:30 AM) I m using inverter aircon for 8hr everyday 365day. Able to save bill about 40%. The condition is, set the temp to 25c and mode to auto. This just proves what I said. In a properly sized room with an appropriately sized air cond, Invertor air cond can save a lot of money. Imagine, if your bill is RM200 a month, it translate to a saving of RM80. I don't think you can save RM80 off your electricity bill with Invertor fridge.But if you put a small 1HP Invertor Air cond in a big community hall, your saving is nil or even higher by 10% This post has been edited by Optiplex330: Dec 4 2011, 07:58 AM |

Looks like my Hitachi got a problem, for the past two days, it just blow hot air, every ice melt and no cold air.Model : RZ410AM 402 Liters Capacity Minus-Zero Cooling Triple clean system Tempered glass shelves No-Frost & CFC Free Price; around RM1400.00 ++ First I look at Panasonic 2 door, but the towkay said Hitachi is much better with energy saving technology. The tempered glass is so classic. Need to go the shop i bought it last time. |

They've also received awards for customer satisfaction. e.g. LG, Panasonic, Hitachi, Electrolux, Samsung, Haier Which brand do you recommend?

Hmmm, I am having some issue to identify which is the best option for my new fridge. Any advice for the selections below?
1. Panasonic NR-BW465 (net 368 liter) - Pros: inverter (energy saving), stainless steel finishing, Cons: price, bottom drawer 2. Hitachi R-Z490EM-1 (net 395 liter) - Pros: Price, glass door finishing. Eco Thermal sensor (supposed to save energy), Cons: not sure about the reliability and ppl complain that the motor is noisy 3. Mitsubitshi MR-F47C (net 381 liter) - Pros: Reliability, Cons: Price, painted finishing 4. Sharp SJPT591 (net 397 liter) - Pros: Price, plasmaculster, reliability, glass door, Cons: Door design (handle portion is hard to maintain) Beside, is there anywhere that I can look for the energy consumption for the specific fridge model per annum basis? |

Hi iamsobloodysick thanks for your feedback. I understand the selling point of the bottom drawer. Eventhough it is a con, but i guess it is something that ppl can get used to. Personally, I dun think i will use the freezer that often.
Besides, I am keen to know how much energy saver it is for the NR-BW465 vs the rest. If I am not mistaken, the MR-F47C average energy consumption per year is 569kwh, whereas the panasonic bigger sister NR-BY602XS is at 533kwh per year and Sharp one is around 555kwh. Based on assumption, if the NR-BW465 consumes 450kwh per annum. That will be ~ 100kwh saving per annum. If you translate that into $$, it is like a saving of RM33 per annum (assume if we use 1kwh = 33sen) or close to RM3 per month. Anyhow, I really dont mind getting the NR-BW465 if the per annum energy consumption is less than 450kwh .This post has been edited by cvshi515: May 24 2012, 03:19 PM |

Dear All,
I was in one of the electrical shop in PJ and i saw this massively ginormous fridge by Hitachi. Model is R-V750PM or R-V750PMX. 700L gross, nett is 600L. I was actually survey-ing fridge for my new house. Lets just say I will need that size, I will need to know if anyone is using this model, any problem so far? Where did you buy it and how much. Please advice. Thank you in advance. |

Hi all, have already narrowed down to 2 brands...just wondering, Hitachi or Panasonic is of better quality in terms of efficiency + long lasting (can last more than 3 or 5 years without any problem/breakdown)? Looking for fridge with capacity range of between 600-800L. Any advice?
QUOTE(phythia79 @ Dec 3 2011, 10:13 AM) sifus..i'm now getting confused. Please enlighten me on the bottom or top freezer..which ones is for energy efficient? I think it doesn't matter whether the freezer is located on top or at the bottom, both types are almost the same. Maybe the bottom freezer might be more economical coz it won't loose much cold air compare to the top freezer... Scientifically, cold air is heavier (don't need any special energy to push cold air to the bottom, it will naturally flow to the bottom), hot air is lighter. So if freezer at the bottom, most of the cold air is contained in the freezer when we pull open up the freezer drawer... whereas if we open the top freezer door, more cold air will be lost coz most will travel out + down away from the top freezer (cold air heavier than surrounding air). But the cost of electricity to generate back cold air for top freezer may not be much difference (of course will be higher a bit) compare to the bottom freezer. It all depends on preference/convenience of each individual. I checked online but they say bottom freezer is energy efficient as heat rises ....but some says that it's quite the opposite as energy is used more to push the cold air to the bottom. sigh! |

If the freezer is at the bottom n the fan is also at the bottom n considering that cold air ia heavier it should theorectically mean that it takes a little longer to cool the top part, ya? Vs having a top freezer with fan on top n cool air just goes to the bottom easily. Not saying that bottom freezer takes very long.. Just saying the rate of cooling is slower, but the differemce may be so small that it is negligible. What about fan n mechanism lifespan?

The purpose of freezer design below is the frequent of use and your most convenient use from certain manufacturing sturdy. The new design drawer freezer do give better efficiency and save some cold lost.The front door fridge is not efficient and lost a lot of cold air when door open. The cold air will flow out as door front door open. Which cold air is heavier. As the bottom drawer type, the air can't flow out much more. Cause cold air don't rise. The most efficiency fridge is modify those freezer as fridge. Those top open door freezer where mostly use for restaurant and wet market. Put some thermostats and set to fridge temperature. It save your bill a lot. |

The cold air lost mainly is cause by the door type. Front door type open will have more cold air lost. Due to cold air heavier and intend to flow out downward. Doesn't matter the freezer ontop or below. You can stand beside the fridge and try open the door. You can see the cold air cloud rush out downward. Either you open the freezer or fridge side, it still lost amount of cold air. Very much depend on how fast you close back the door and don't let the temperature rise further.I think if ppl give me fridge as a house warming gift..i wouldn't mind any type....LOL I'm going back and forth between the new Panasonic inverter fridge (bottom freezer), hitachi 4 door top-bottom and the samsung 2 door..grandma say freezer at the bottom kids can pull and toddlers these days if not watch would climb inside and sometimesafter we take a handfull of stuff just turn and kick the door close...LOL..grandma trying to scare me.. Was thinking about the top-bottom hitachi 4 door because the door clearance needed is smaller compared to the full size door...then I dont have to worry about the space from table top to the island.. The deisgn of freezer drawer type at bottom have 2 advantage from my oppinion. It reduce your squarting and poking into the freezer to look for something. It is difficult for older people. Squarting and looking forward is difficult. While bending and look downward is much more eassier if a drawer type. Another advantage is the minimum cold air lost for the drawer type. But I find out also, the drawer type of freezer have lesser space than the front door type. The drawer occupy some space. Again as I said, top door open freezer is the most efficeint. As cold air don't rise. Side by side front door open is the waste space from my oppinion. The center divider occupy a lot of space. And cause the design of the fridge to be wider. But recently I found out a brand name Beko fridge where there is no center divider for side by side door. The fridge have a high rating energy saving compare others same size. Even more energy saving than the smaller size. The fridge have 3 frezzer drawer below and fridge ontop. It is almost perfect fridge for me. But not the price. I would like to go for the new design where freezer drawer at below and look for most energy saving. If inverter can save, why not. It is difficult for me to break away from the traditional freezer ontop. It look strange freezer at bottom. |

Again, this is just a thought, but yes i agree that drawers loses less cold air then front doors since it acts as a barier and cold air couldnt travel any lower if the freezer were to be at the bottom. Unlike side by side which has dual fan, the top-bottom only has one...Haih...buy fridge also so mah fan...and I thought renovation was difficult..buy fridge also so hard... Panasonic is coming up with a top freezer soon by this year definitely. Wait if you are not in hurry.I think if ppl give me fridge as a house warming gift..i wouldn't mind any type....LOL I'm going back and forth between the new Panasonic inverter fridge (bottom freezer), hitachi 4 door top-bottom and the samsung 2 door..grandma say freezer at the bottom kids can pull and toddlers these days if not watch would climb inside and sometimesafter we take a handfull of stuff just turn and kick the door close...LOL..grandma trying to scare me.. Was thinking about the top-bottom hitachi 4 door because the door clearance needed is smaller compared to the full size door...then I dont have to worry about the space from table top to the island.. |

Apple changes our lifestyle. So does Panasonic bottom freezer fridge bring us a new kitchen lifestyle.
The logic is simple, if the frequency of opening the freezer compartment is high, you stick to the traditional top freezer design and vice versa. Some people still prefer manual transmission vehicle over auto transmission vehicle because they say "lebih jimat petrol". Well, your choice. |

QUOTE(craftsnknots @ Jul 9 2012, 10:24 AM) Really? Then I'll wait. Any indication on teh differences? I believe there have been 3 sizes of Panasonic Top Freezer that I found - all are 2012 products. Looks sleek, slim and tall but all are non inverter type (capacity too small - no need for inverter). But I haven't heard anyone using it yet. Anyone here?However, the door 'suction' feeling is lacking. It's like u can easily pull the doors - unlike the bottom freezer type. I believe in Panasonic because of the rubber/suction thingy+electrical consumption. Samsung is worst - after 2 years the rubber part has fallen - unlike Panasonic which after 15 years, then I need to change the rubber! This post has been edited by phachat: Jul 9 2012, 10:37 AM |

QUOTE(ozak @ Jul 9 2012, 02:38 AM) The cold air lost mainly is cause by the door type. Front door type open will have more cold air lost. Due to cold air heavier and intend to flow out downward. Doesn't matter the freezer ontop or below. You can stand beside the fridge and try open the door. You can see the cold air cloud rush out downward. Either you open the freezer or fridge side, it still lost amount of cold air. Very much depend on how fast you close back the door and don't let the temperature rise further. Thanks Ozak..good point..I guess it goes back to preferences, I was looking at Hitachi for the same reason you talked about for BEKO, I didnt look for side by side mainly because I think it is a waste of space, and I was thinking that i couldnt fit a 2kg ice-cream cake in there too..LOL Hitachi 4 door has no center divider too, but freezer is on top.The design of freezer drawer type at bottom have 2 advantage from my oppinion. It reduce your squarting and poking into the freezer to look for something. It is difficult for older people. Squarting and looking forward is difficult. While bending and look downward is much more eassier if a drawer type. Another advantage is the minimum cold air lost for the drawer type. But I find out also, the drawer type of freezer have lesser space than the front door type. The drawer occupy some space. Again as I said, top door open freezer is the most efficeint. As cold air don't rise. Side by side front door open is the waste space from my opinion. The center divider occupy a lot of space. And cause the design of the fridge to be wider. But recently I found out a brand name Beko fridge where there is no center divider for side by side door. The fridge have a high rating energy saving compare others same size. Even more energy saving than the smaller size. The fridge have 3 frezzer drawer below and fridge ontop. It is almost perfect fridge for me. But not the price. I would like to go for the new design where freezer drawer at below and look for most energy saving. If inverter can save, why not. It is difficult for me to break away from the traditional freezer ontop. It look strange freezer at bottom. The other thing about drawer freezer is that, I would need to stack my grocery a little more than i have to with the shelves type (top or bottom). There is a divider in the drawers, but I would still be stacking fish and chicken and meat on top of each other. Just my own usage that is. Looking at my mum's fridge during festive season..whoa..so much stuff man, and would be difficult to plan the stacking. Say I stack the chicken and meat at the bottom and fish, squid, abalone, prawns on top, when she wants to cook, she would have to remove so many stuff to get to the bigger ones at the bottom. And to avoid them being 'dented' everything much be in containers and tupperware, which i think occupies space also.. I would generally still be stacking with those shelves freezer, but i could segregate the big and small with the shelves..I would love a fridge with bottom freezer but of shelves and not drawers, and I would love one with french door with no divider in the middle...I think samsung has it...but so costly leh...torn between models and price also..but samsung is not an inverter unit i think... |

Was at Harvey N more than a month ago in Paradigm along LDP. The Hitachi R-B6800M (R-B6700 in Japan) and R-B6200M uses only 260 kWh and 240kwh per year. Wow that's a whopping 21.7 and 20 units of electricity per month. Although large (620 and 670l gross), it whops the rest of the same its size and some of smaller sizes.
It's a new fridge with bottom freezer with many doors. Sales guy told me Hitachi makes the best fridge from feedback. Beko (Turkey) also not bad. Some of Bosch products are OEM from Beko according to him. This post has been edited by halcyon27: Jul 9 2012, 05:30 PM |

Just have to report back on my Toshiba GR-R72MD (710l).
Recently bought a electric usage monitoring plug, and monitored my fridge for 1 week. It's using on average about 3.2kWh a day!  |

hi..
i've been reading around this post and find it amusing on how much info has been transferred. i myself am looking for a new fridge. been looking around ss2, ikano and ou. my budget is limited under 1k, so i'm planning to buy a 1 door fridge initially but most of the salesman i've encountered pointed out that 2 door fridge is better (maintenance-wise and economic-wise) but a little bit pricier (still under 1k budget tho). and now i've been back and forward from Samsung (good design, cheap but korean made), Sharp (energy efficient; 5 star rating, basic function and design, japan made), Electrolux (not many info) and Mitsubishi (good motor; japan made, a lil pricy than the others) model. any advice on which fridge is the best to choose from. Thanks. |

Their French 4-door, bottom freezer is from Sharp or Sharp's OEM. Mitsubishi and Hitachi makes good fridges esp their compressor. Panasonic should be reliable but had scanty feedback from one seller about compressor issue after 4-5 years. I had one Panasonic kena fridge not cold due to ice damming once this year. Fridge is 7 year old model but bought six years ago. This was due to overcrowding but it took a while before ice damming blocked up fridge air outlet from freezer. Panasonic technician fix it for RM200. Gasket seal still good. My inlaws have theirs for 8 years but still going strong. LG and Samsung makes stunning design and features but don't know their reliability. Guess if they sell so much here it must be good. Good luck hunting! |

Normally the fridge have a spec sticker stick at the inner fridge side where normally the temp knob locate. You will see the information like voltage, ampere, watt, fridge size etc. The important is look at the ampere and watt. Or just the watt will do. Lowest the watt = more energy saving. Use 1 of your favour fridge spec as a guide. Example your panasonic 400L fridge use 200w energy. Than check around any fridge you like that can lowest than the 200w with same size. That it easy for you to look for the energy saving fridge. Another is look for the 5star rating sticker infront the fridge. |

Right, That is the way I use when I survey for the fridge.

However, this is a relative comparison rating. If I am not mistaken, on the label, it writes, 'this unit is using xxx kW lesser than normal products'. What is the benchmark of 'other products'. So this is relatively a grey area. But I guess, by looking at that label, you know at least your selected product is at which level. Higher saving is always better. |

What size of fridge you looking for? Kagami series? Equivalent Hitachi sizes could be cheaper. Try Best Denki. They have clearance sale in some outlets or at least at Tropicana City Mall. Some fridge are going cheap. even small 2 door going for sub RM1000. Display units I think. |

But my favour is panasonic with around 400liter inverter. This post has been edited by Titan_Gunners: Jul 17 2012, 06:16 PM |

QUOTE(khieni @ Jul 17 2012, 06:03 PM) yes, kagami glass series...i m impressed with the salesman words....but,i need the user view as well...hehe....hitachi better? Their equivalent to Sharp in terms of 300-400+ liter capacity has a thoughtful design in the freezer compartment. The ice cube box is detachable. Need more space? just sacrifice the ice cube box for the moment.Sharp also has Papillion series (400+litre) bottom freezer. But the doors can open left or right ie the have double hinge which allows opening left side or right side at a time. best to avoid bewitched by sales pitch. rather go store to store and develop opinion base on problems with brands based on feedback. best is to go see a fridge and refrigerator on the inside and visualize how space will be filled up. apart from mfg defect (touch wood) also sometimes problems could be attributed to oursevles so even my opinion could be clouded since if i'm not aware that i did not leave breathing space for fridge to sweat it out since i like to flush the space used tight tight then that might not take into account that i'm overworking my fridge so i will say this brand not reliable. or i could be cramming it tightly that cold air cannot flow evenly leaving frost spots for ice to form. worst still is at the mouth of the vent. that would cause the air inside the vent to freeze. this would overwork the defroster and evaporator and set out a whole chain of events much like NatGeo 'Seconds from disaster'. take opinions with a pinch of salt. |

These are nice french door bottom freezer fridge since 70% activity revolves around the fridge. No need to bend down to get things. They are upgrade of first generation four door pillarless SJ-F75 series in that their doors are rodded and their lights are LED and a newer deodorizer. Net volume is 605l (Fridge 394, freezer 211). I know because that's what I use. Minister of home affairs says fridge must be large enough to cater for parties and family. Wide space afforded can put cake since it's about 70cm wide internal storage width.Electrolux has EQE-6307SA (629l) which is 4 cm deeper than Sharp's but looks similar in appearance to the SJ-F78 one. Most probably they could OEM from Beko which could have a similar design but lower energy consumption than the Sharp. Despite their capacity, one drawback of the first (SJ-F75PS/E) and second generation (SJ-F78SPBK/SL) Quattro are: 1. They are quite power consuming. Annual energy consumption shown here is 894Wh (same with Electrolux EQE-6307SA) and 803kWh respectively. Roughly about 74.5 or 67 units of electricity a month. The new Hitachi R-B6800M annual consumption is 260kWh. Roughly 22 units per month. But the Hitachi fridge is almost RM9k similar to Beko models of the capacity range. But of course, the capacity of the fridge and freezer compartment differs individually for each model depending on which method is used to calculate volume (ISO or JIS). Wait for the new Avance models to be introduced. Jintex is carrying them end of July 2012. Common features: Wide interior of 78cm compared to 70cm of first and second generation. Possibly using advance insulation like vacuum insulated panel (VIP)??? similar to that in the Hitachi R-B6800M and one of Panasonic's inverter NRF532TX. VIP are quite thermal efficient than polyurethane (PU). Control panel now touch screen on top left leaf(door), hassle free ice making reservoir on bottom right of fridge. Ice making cleaning mode (Ag+ ions), Crystal ice making (go figure) Eco mode - saves 10% electricity.

Good luck hunting [edit: could also consider the Panasonic 2012 Eco Navi model NR-BW465XS (RM2499) and Inverter NR-BW415VN (RM1999) both gross 400-450l range.] Added on July 20, 2012, 1:40 pm QUOTE(khieni @ Jul 19 2012, 11:19 PM) Dun buy Samsung, the salesman told me no good....but i havent experienced it before......... Sometimes it's also a tactic by sales to push one and downput the other due to commission structure and how channel account person manage their relationship with sales shops. To be fair, I've friends who have Samsung fridge who hasn't complained. Only read through other forums that sometimes certain models of Korean brands have noisy compressor. Seems like isolated cases.Actually, I quite like the Samsung bottom freezer models like the RFG28MESL1 but it's wide (908)mm. At 1.8kWh/day (657kWh/yr) at least don't makan letrik like the SJ-F75 750l Sharp's 894kWh. Right now many non-inverter under 500 litre fridge about the same letrik consumption range of 400-500+kWh per year. But how often we change fridge? Could be good even talk to ppl browsing before and ask them what they had before. Sometimes those who are willing to share will give revealing insights on the products they've used before, what they wish they had done, etc. Learn together ma. Often, one issue I hear is which compartment has more priority when looking for one - fridge or freezer. Some even shared that because of their dietary habits, a freezer is more important so they have a storage/chest freezer and smaller or midsized fridge. They then keep their fridge freezer at minimum like -14 cos meat not stored in there but lots of ice and bread (some do that). Because the big freezer is not so often accessed, they save letrik also.

I’ve a Samsung 2 doors refrigerator, like 5~7 years now, didn’t remember the exact model, we like it very much, cool and quiet. I think the Silver Nano coating is great way to keep the fruits fresh and de-odor too, sometime we put Durian in the frige, the Durian smell is gone by the next day.

Go shop compare and check price, is always cheaper. Try legend ss2. Or wait for aeon discount, worth it. Give 10% discount and get cash back voucher too.

Anyone using Sharp fridge? What are the benefits of glass doors? Not sure to get SJPT491MBK(Metal door) or SJPT499MBK(Glass door)
Note that some brands plastic inside is flimsy, but the freezer cool air is able to get to the fridge compartment from the front instead of from the back. So is it good? This post has been edited by Chihuahua921: Oct 9 2012, 10:51 PM |

Or go back to the shop bang their table and ask for exchange.Model: Hitachi R-Z490EMSLS Problem: 1 side of the fridge is normal temp, the other side is extremely hot, plastic already change shape.

Those are cooler. And the consumption is high. Just go behind the shop and see how big the compressor and the unit. |

Are there any side by side door fridge around 700 ltr for around RM 2500.
Last month Harvey Norman were selling Samsung (if Im not mistaken) around this price. Other than Samsung are there any brand that I can go for? I think for 2 doors model I can get this price for other brand such as Sharp. I just like the 4/2 door side by side design Thanks This post has been edited by momiloco: Oct 25 2012, 10:51 AM |

End up buying Mitsubishi Electric MR-BF43D below RM1.4K at HomeDec today.
http://www.melcosales.com.my/sites/default...43-36C-feat.jpg I hope electric consumption is good based on the "5 Star" rating. Also personal preference for bottom freezer. |

dear refrigerator owner:-
if your refrigerator spoil don't call he hand phone number without company register or don't know him. he doing part time job only. he don't have pickup transport and don't have gas refill tank, he come to your house one hand holding test pen, another hand holding ohm-meter just check only then charge you RM50 for inspection without repair, if you want repair he just call company technician come and charge you again or he ask you call your product seller then he will disappear from your house after you paid him RM50. bayaran tanpa baiki hahaha refrigerator spoil call direct company :- LG Samsung Sharp Toshiba Panasonic. |
