im looking for a bottom freezer type of fridge. i think just a few brands have bottom freezers so my choice not many.
for japanese brand I only see panasonic with their inverters type. im also looking at Bosch and Fisher Paykel which are not inverters but they have ratings like A and Energy Star. I think these ratings are more reliable than just say Inverter with no actual test results right? Any comments? |

The glass door Bosch I was shocked when I heard the price of over 10k. I thought it would be cheap LOL
The bottom freezer one that I posted, HN wants rm3228 with rm400 voucher. Not sure how that works One thing about angmoh brands, they tell you their energy rating and even the energy used in a year. Japanese ones tells you they are inverter but no other info. This post has been edited by idoblu: Nov 16 2012, 08:32 AM |

QUOTE(cyanboy @ May 17 2013, 11:54 PM) Considering to buy this: I'm considering the same model, but with the freezer at the bottom. Still can't decide yet. The fridge looks solid. Won't know about reliability yet as bosch is still new in our market but I'm sure it's better than Samsung which I had bad experience with.http://www.bosch-home.com.my/products/cool...l?source=browse Bosch made in Turkey as opposed to conventional Thai/Malaysian made fridges. Quality considered quite good from show room view. Any reviews about Bosch in fridge industry? |

QUOTE(sovietmah @ Sep 5 2013, 10:23 AM) RM2980 HLK SS2 for R-W750FPM. R-W750FPMX might need Rm3300-3400 now Boss, are you sure? My friend bought R-W750FPMX for Rm4800 I also bought couple of thg like 4 fans, aircons. so the total price is cheaper than above one.  And I search, there is no R-W750FPM. The X is also not stainless steel but black glass. FPMX is the French door model, -  Yours only 2 doors right? Maybe this model?  |

QUOTE(beetlemaniac @ Oct 18 2013, 03:26 AM) Regarding the Panasonic inverter models, would the bottom freezer be too much of a compromise? I'm used to using top freezers -- I don't want to regret getting something which wouldn't be optimal for me. My usage of the freezer is for a lot of meat and bones (I eat a caveman-style diet). Don't know why but the top freezer bosch is quite a lot cheaper than the bottom freezer version. It's basically the same fridge. Anyway I was planning to get the Bosch bottom freezer but might go for Hitachi's inverter instead.I liked the look of the Bosch top freezer I saw some pages previous -- someone said it is quite solid. No inverter though. |

QUOTE(beetlemaniac @ Oct 20 2013, 07:27 PM) Yeah I'm wondering too. I saw the top freezer Bosch at Harvey Norman for 2300. I like the build quality. Any problems for this model or Bosch in general? Hitachi fridges also look really sturdy. Although I think the inverter models are only for the bigger capacities? I've only seen the 750 model which is HUGE! The hitachi I'm looking at has inverter and it's small - only 365L. Solfege R-SG37BPMI think the Panasonic bottom freezer has issues with the fridge door -- it may sag with time due to the hinges not sturdy enough to support it's weight. Here are some inverters below 500L http://hitachiconsumer.com.my/index.php/re...tor#product_222 http://hitachiconsumer.com.my/index.php/re...tor#product_250 http://hitachiconsumer.com.my/index.php/re...tor#product_251 This post has been edited by idoblu: Oct 20 2013, 11:03 PM |

QUOTE(beetlemaniac @ Oct 21 2013, 07:36 PM) Thanks for the links man. Which 3 doors? All 3 also got three doors I have not seen that 3-door Hitachi at the showrooms I've visited, what's the price like? Also, does anyone know where the Bosch fridges (particularly the top freezer model -- I have a feeling they are phasing it out -- explains the price difference) are manufactured?  The SG37BPM lowest so far is at Rm2200 but I've never seen it before in anywhere but it is available. I like this model as it has automatic ice maker. No ice cube trays needed The two with French doors can be seen at HN. R-WB490P2M is Rm2850 at HN But the silver one is Rm2500 R-WB560P2M is around Rm3200 Not sure where are the Bosch manufactured. Somebody mentioned Turkey. Somebody bought this model. Look back some of the post. This post has been edited by idoblu: Oct 21 2013, 09:05 PM |

The hitachi French door design is good, it has a bar that flips up so the other door can sit nicely on it unlike Sharp which doesn't have this middle bar.
For the bosch, yup he bought one, PM to ask him This post has been edited by idoblu: Oct 21 2013, 11:36 PM |

QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 22 2013, 12:44 PM) I have check this 2 kind of middle bar design. Most of the fridge using middle bar while only Sharp is using magnetic rubber seal. I feel the middle bar have a better seal than the magnetic rubber. When my newly bought Sharp French door came 6 years ago, there was a gap between the two doors. I put a torchlight inside and with the doors close, can still see the light. The tech came and change the rubber seals. Even though it has been okay ever since, still I feel these type not so good. If you want French door, get the Hitachi with the bar.In long run, Not sure the rubber seal will get hard and won't seal it properly. Than the cool air leak out. For the middle bar, not sure the mechanical can last. Specially when slamming the door close. I have seen some demo fridge in the shop where the middle bar cannot flip anymore. Anyway for my next fridge, I just get the normal one door type. |
