Hi, I using LG French door 687l purchase $3.3k at lazada PH store. Compare Samsung with LG and I will stick with Lg for fridge as I had bad experience with Samsung when I was staying in Australia previously.

I tried to search at Lazada.com.my and google but just couldnt find PH Store. Is PH=Lazada Phillipine? Do u have the LG models mentioned above cos my 17 year old LG GR-T582gv lower door would not close tight when I open it, so everytime have to push it up and then push it in. $=RM?

im using 510L with 5 star, what u wanna know about?

Salesman told me that those fridge with side-by-side doors, SBS (instead of top-down TD) do not come with STAR rating or annual consumption data, is that true?
Another one said generally these side-bu-side consume double the electricity and higher repair cost.

Spouse wants the Samsung RS62R5031SL SBS (680L, @rm3750, 2years, free oven) but I prefer Samsung RT21M6211SG (670L,@rm2850, 2y, free vacuum cleaner).

So far so good, running perfectly
for my SBS R-S800P2M since 2018, but I think at that point they didn't stick the energy stars sticker so I can't tell you the kwh rating
2 door latest series P8: R-VG490P8M since Mar 2020 before MCO, this one 5 stars and 364 kwh per year.. technically one electric kwh unit per day to operate

Price to size value for money will be the P8 series
For bragging rights of big big fridge you will need a SBS one

If you use freezer a lot and need lots of freezer room, not so much as fridge - then the SBS model I have is good.
Both also inverter model so very power saving.
SBS one got digital panel selection on whether you want power cooling or energy saving operation. P8M 2 door is just analog.. I set it to the middle setting also very cold, ice cream is nice and hard that you really gotta dig in with the spoon.
I think it also depends on your space available. For smaller places, the 2 door P8M series would be a great choice.

As a sidenote..the P7M-1 seems like a refresh of the old P7M chassis but not sure what is their new feature.

If budget is a major concern, then can go for Sharp SBS or their larger series 500-600L.. so far my gf family using Sharp fridge also no issue.

Most of the salesmen said all SBS fridges dont have energy stars sticker n no info on power comsumption. Some even said they consume more energy but cant show prove.

https://www.samsung.com/my/refrigerators/to...er-rt21m6211sg/

Bought this fridge yesterday at rm2850 (RRP3499) comes with a free Samsung vacuum cleaner worth rm300.
It comes with 2 years Samsung warranty. Additional 2 years warranty is rm330, 3 years rm480. Is it worth taking the additional warranty from MPI?

At first was thinking of getting side-by-side-rs62r5001m9me, https://www.samsung.com/my/refrigerators/si...-rs62r5001m9me/ but one salesman from another Samsung shop was telling me it consumes double the electricity and service&parts cost very much more.

In my opinion, Sharp brand is a better choice but the final decision is yours.

Sharp has been sold off to a non Japanese company so is Toshiba?

Hi guys. For a budget of 3.5k. Which do you recommend? Went to a local shop, they recommend a Midea 4 door, don't remember the model since my mum asked for side open door but it's net capacity is below 500L which is not enough for my household. I'm looking at Toshiba GR-AG66MA. Last time bought Hisense but the compressor blew this morning.
*
How old is the Hisense? Most fridge comes with 10 year warranty on compressor, no?

Should have heeded your advice and avoid Samseng products like a plague.
Samsung products dont last, my Samsung RT21 fridge's freezer just gave problem after only 2 years, repaired yesterday n it costed rm400. My previous Mitsubishi & LG very lasting. Had bad experience with Samsung products 1st washing machine, then aircon, all didnt last. Bought the fridge cos like the features and size but really regret.

It was not compressor parts. Not covered if you not buy extended warranty.

Never bought electrical items with extended warranty but seems like Samseng needs it but them it will jack up the cost so might as well buy other brand.
