Hmmm..but considering that the freezer is not open as often as the non-freezer section, the lost is to the minimum..For me, I open the non freezer part more, which would mean i lose cold air from there more. Considering that the cold air is where the fan is which is wherever the freezer is, and that cold air is heavier and  travels downward, i would 'benefit' a little more if the non freezer part is at the bottom; As it cools much easily then if the cold air were to move upwards. Again, this is just a thought, but yes i agree that drawers loses less cold air then front doors since it acts as a barier and cold air couldnt travel any lower if the freezer were to be at the bottom. Unlike side by side which has dual fan, the top-bottom only has one...Haih...buy fridge also so mah fan...and I thought renovation was difficult..buy fridge also so hard...

I think if ppl give me fridge as a house warming gift..i wouldn't mind any type....LOL

I'm going back and forth between the new Panasonic inverter fridge (bottom freezer), hitachi 4 door top-bottom and the samsung 2 door..grandma say freezer at the bottom kids can pull and toddlers these days if not watch would climb inside and sometimesafter we take a handfull of stuff just turn and kick the door close...LOL..grandma trying to scare me..

Was thinking about the top-bottom hitachi 4 door because the door clearance needed is smaller compared to the full size door...then I dont have to worry about the space from table top to the island..

Ops...less experience too.....all the while my father pay for it.later when i moving to new house, i will paid it myself :-(

How to choose a fridge with lesser electric comsumption? like aircond look at EER etc.......tq

Walauyeah........30-40% of my bill    ..........
after planning to move out and be independent, i sudden feel that my father very great  he contribute a lot to us.....

ok, i will look at EER and low defrost amp..any acceptance limit? for example EER must more than 10 just like aircond? how about low defrost amp???

It is not easy for you to check the spec in this way. Specially when scout around the shop. Those saleman even don't no all this eer thingy.

Normally the fridge have a spec sticker stick at the inner fridge side where normally the temp knob locate. You will see the information like voltage, ampere, watt, fridge size etc. The important is look at the ampere and watt. Or just the watt will do. Lowest the watt = more energy saving.

Use 1 of your favour fridge spec as a guide. Example your panasonic 400L fridge use 200w energy. Than check around any fridge you like that can lowest than the 200w with same size. That it easy for you to look for the energy saving fridge.

Another is look for the 5star rating sticker infront the fridge.

Help needed!
I am looking at hitachi R-v750pm invertor (600l)or r-z710em (550l)
Price difference rm300.
Which is better choice?
Advise needed.

Thanks

How much you got it for?
Is the motor noisy?
Ventilation 5cm enough?
I'm planning 10cm side n 20cm back.

Thanks

I am very interested of getting a Panasonic fridge with inverter since it is power saving but heard that the bottom freezer might pose some problem for old people, what else is the disadvantage of bottom freezer?
