so this is NOT TRUE?

anyone use Panasonic NR-BY608XS Bottom freezer?

if u notice, in usual, bottom freezer tends to be more expensive.. and if u don't mind bending and picking up frozen foods (which normally heavier) at bottom, then is ok.. anyway, panasonic is a good brand.. this model is good which initially shortlisted by me..

Drawer type at bottom doesn't cause any bending issue. Which 1st I thought it would.

My fridge have 2 drawer at the bottom. Freezer middle and vege the last bottom.

I like the drawer now rather the door type. Can put more compare stack up for the door type. It is not heavy to open too since it can run on motorize.

I ended up getting the Samsung rsa1stsl1 at 2.9k (I think can get as cheap as 2.8k with delivery if bought online). Any reason for Faber or is it just the price?

anyone used this fridge before?

Sifus here pls give advices,please....

hi do you mind share more on the LG cannot repair by third party? Is this mean after the warranty period, fridge repairmen are not able to repair the fridge? Do you happen to know why?

was searching fridge for myself and LG caught my attention for design and price range.. thanks!

Which model did u buy?

Im looking for a big fridge too budget around 4k.

Actually I have decided on Hitachi but after reading the feedbacks here, now I'm lost.

Planning to get this.. https://www.hisense.com.my/product/rq561n4aw1/

reliable brand?

3.2k lol
yup own use. brand reliable? is not as reputable compared to other brands. high-price item so i dont want it to fail on me so soon. inverter to me works best if usage differs over time. like me, i open only 3-4 times at most daily, so usage is v minimal. price diff between inverter and normal is pretty high

ohlol i may have gotten it wrong. but still the price diff is huge, and take yaears to recoup the diff. hmmm this one's french door, with 3 diff compartmets (refer to the link i sent). side by side uses most energy compared to other range, not the same capacity

Based on size limitations, I have narrowed down my choice to LG, Hitachi and Sharp. All about same price circa 3k+, inverter, top freezer , 2 door, inside shelving, 500+ liters, black finish.

Which brand would you recommend as far as reliability, servicing, etc. ?

I noticed not many ppl recommend electrolux. Any reasons on this? Is it because it is not reliable as other brands like sharp and hitachi?

Thanks a lot for the info. The warehouse sale is nationwide? Or only selected few shops in KL normally?

U are using hitachi and samsung now? Hows the reliability?

Guys gone through few comments here but still need some enlightments.I will go for Panasonic after seeing the good reviews here.
Which one is good and reliable
1)SBS vs top-bottom vs French
2)Top freezer vs Bottom freezer

Back to shopping for new fridge. I'm a huge fan of Hitachi previously, as my old hitachi still going strong after 9 years. It is a French type with 4 doors. Bought another hitachi 5 years ago, Japan made model but started giving me problem past year. As it is still within warranty, ask for free service and change nearly everything from motor to electric board and etc. but still there is problem after a week or two. Water droplets forms near the rubber seal. Fully utilize my warranty until the end and now the problem reappears. I think I will change this one. Just not worth my time. Maybe it is just me but I think Japan made one perform worst than the old 10 years model, the technician servicing also say something similar describing these models having smaller compressor and the motor area being too compact. Maybe suits Japan weather but not efficient in Malaysia

Is it possible to get a good fridge with just 1-1.5k budget?
