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!

Thanks iamsobloodysick

hmm...but since i'm not getting a panasonic as they don't have french door style...I'm opting between Hitachi (top freezer) and Sharp (bottom freezer)..which one is better?

Invertor motor only save electricity if there are frequent stop-start operation. So unless you have the habit of opening the door of your fridge often, I doubt there is much saving.

Care to show me how you come to that conclusion?

I would think Invertor air cond would have the biggest saving, assuming you don't put it in an over-sized room.

Take car as an analogue. In situation whereby there are lots of stop-start (as in town driving), it uses more fuel. On highway with very few speed variation and no stop-start, it uses less fuel. Invertor works on similar principle.

Take the case of non-Invertor fridge. If coldness has been achieved, normal motor has to stop completely. And when temperature rises, the motor has to restart from scratch.

Now with Invertor fridge. 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.

Where and when can I buy Toshiba fridge? It's seems that everywhere is out of stocks due to the flooding in Bangkok!

bought a Sharp fridge coz of the plasmacluster technology...
izit good or juz normal??

Should be good. Sharp manufactures fridges for Electrolux as well. Some of their fridge designs is simlar to those offered by Electrolux with the exception of the finishing and the accessories inside the fridge.

Hi,

I am looking for bottom freezer fridge and am impressed with the 4door Electrolux and Sharp fridges.
A shop quoted me the Sharp 750L Stainless Steel color SJF78SPSL for RM5,050.

Is it okay? Or can I get them elsewhere cheaper?
Thanks.

Help needed, can any1 help me to find Hitachi model RA6200XK in malaysia, i remember i saw similar model in msia website, but now gone? its a 6 door with vacuum compartment. anywhere selling? thanks alot bro. for helping me.

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?

Bro, why are you say so??

Yes, agreed with you...
Wife and me are >175cm and not regular use of freezer.
Thus, hard for us to bend to take thing from fridge...

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? 

Plan to get this model also . Can pm me what price u get plz . Thank

NR-BY602XS
how is the space overall?
motor operates in silent or can hear?

well lol all i can say is in three words
small/ok/big..

for me its big in comparison to hitachi model i mention above.

602liter is the gross capacity. Net is 546liter.

in comparison to hitachi R-WB560P2M
Net is 455liter,

Panasonic
Width (mm) 775
Depth (mm) 745
Height (mm) 1846
Product Weight Net (kg) 86

Hitachi
Dimensions:
Width-75cm
Height-178cm
Depth-79.7cm

Side by side.. they look about the same in size

so went for panasonic....

incomparison for that panasonic... hitachi R-VG710P3M
Net 550liter.

i assume hitachi model number aka 560/710 etc denotes the gross weight.

Panasonic NR-BY602XS much quite compare with most of the Hitachi fridge (e.g. R-VG710P3M)?

Any promotion for Hitachi R-B6800M crystal brown fridge ?

i just book my Hitachi fridge, VG710P3M @RM27++. I am wondering is that a good price?
