got any view on LG/ pana/hitachi  fridge? not the expensive one with side by side door, prefer 2 door (up freezer or bottom freezer also can)
approximately 300L to 400L, budget below 2600 (am i day dreaming bout this?)

I bought Sharp SJP601MFMK 610L in Aug 2022 from TBC Setia Alam branch at RM2550 (after deducted RM200 under SAVE 3.0). So far so good to use this Refrigerator.

I just bought from nearby only. Whatsapp all nearby electrical shops to get cheapest price. TBC give me the best plus can claim RM200 SAVE 3.0. The shop even said if any issue within a week, exchange 1 to 1. If may wanna compare with those purchase online especially from other states. Some given free delivery but no installation at all meant the unit just left in front of your gate. You need to pay worker to move in if you require them to help.

You meant Plasmacluster Ion Technology & Ag Nano-Deodorizer features? Actually did not really can justify how well it function. My previous Toshiba which served us more than 16 years no such functions. However so far vege & foods can keep longer time & remained fresh most time. If meat, I not left it in the fridge without cover at least wrap it up.

Check on the type of 'delivery'.

1. Deliver and installation, or

2. Deliver only.

Normally for such big and expensive electrical item, buy from physical shop. Nego to tbe best but dont expect online price.

Can reject during delivery if is dent or other problem. They take back and replace.

Wait for year end sales. Dont buy during normal days.

What I meant those features may give distinct outcome but just that the way I store my foods especially meat may not bring better outcome. Hahaha....

Installation very easy actually but just that both of you need to move in the whole unit into your kitchen. After that let if sit for at least 12 hours (best 24 hours) then only switch on the unit.

Two options which I found can get very good price. Sharp Merdeka Sales which just over in September 2022. Many retail shops will give you diff price from retail price or price tag. You just straight to the point and tell them what's the best price for this model number. They sure know you do price survey and give you the best they can offer. Whatsapp all electrical shops nearby to get price comparison.

Another option, Home exhibition. Price (usually free installation too) given actually cheaper than I can get from shop. I found out only after I purchased mine one (price before SAVE program). Hahaha.... Only thing you may not able to apply SAVE on spot.

If not urgent, just start to survey around n familiar with price only..... Sharp Malaysia always got event sales from time to time.

Try all kind of ways.... FB, website from time to time.....

Yes that's why I emphasis have to make sure the seller have their own delivery fleet

PH Chain Store on Shopee and Lazada is one that I know uses their own delivery fleet. Saw reviews before where seller reject units with defect on the spot and it was exchanged
