Wow...so the repairman was honest after all about how teruk inverter fridges are. good to hear you are one of the few lucky ones to have yours replaced FOC.

I agree with you about a bigger fridge for your parents so they need not bend down too much 

I must advice not all Sharps are good from my experience. I bought a double door sharp fridge. Worst fridge ever, poor parts quality (the seals look super cheap, noisy compressor, followed by faulty heating element for defrost which tripped my whole house many times, then door hinge broke, then oil started leaking abit from the door hinge so I got rid of it as it was giving me too many problems and bought another fridge.

After that I found out this fridge design was also sold by other brands ie hisense. It puzzles me why sharp would spoil their name like this and put their badge on a cheapo fridge. You can find this model on their website. I have had better experiences with LG fridges.

Then the other extreme would be sharps made in Japan fridge which cost over 10k.

Any feedback on Electrolux fridge?

This brand design looks very close to Toshiba gr-rf610we-pmy
But how good is it, I dunno. Maybe they share the same components...

Can try sharp 700L top fridge bottom freezer. Design is good and practical

Ahh ic... I just realized something else. 4door compartment area is wider, just like top/btm mount while 2door is narrow.

thinking to get Electrolux ESE6101A-B (ESE6101A-B)
my wife already fall in love with this fridge when doing survey at shops.
any thought of good or bad of Electrolux fridge? 

side-by-side vs top-bottom

still in a dilemma on this, can't make up my mind on which one. i have read through google comments but still no clear conclusion can be made.   

i believe some of you have gone through this as well. can you share which one did you selected, and if you are happy with it? what are the thing that you like and don't like?

personally i prefer top-bottom as to me it looks bigger and more flexible to store things, but wife prefers side-by-sde as it's easier to organise things   

thanks in advance 

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?

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

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