dear all lowyat ppl,

considering this 2 fridge to buy panasonic NR-BY602XS & hitachi R-VG660P3M

any recommendation? and review buy users of these...

thanks

thanks for your kind reply

in dilemma of choosing the better fridge out of this 2 model, Panasonic NR-BW415VN and Sharp SJPT-419MBK..dont really mind bottom or top freezer..

in terms of brand, which is more reliable? also, anyone encounter any problem with pana bottom drawer, such as roller faulty, etc? afraid if its in full capacity with all the meat and everything, the drawer might become heavy and cause excessive force to the roller or its mechanism..

if you had to choose one, which one would it be?

Thanks. Look extractive this price.    Still available this price if I want it end of this yrs?

I plan to get end of this yrs. Cause maggi mee every mth + end yrs bonus = Fridge. 

The design, high tech and very low consumption is extracting me. Beside it is new kind of fridge. And the only fridge made in japan.

The price come down a lot liau. First arrived here cost RM11k.

Got to ask your wife, why she like to buy a LV bag? While can buy 100 ordinary more from any shop. Have you ask yourself why you like to get a jpn/Europe car. While you can drive 3-4 potong car for over 20yrs. 

It is the the thing we interest/collect/hobby. But we ignore others people interest. It is just a circle of thinking that eventually coming back to us. Hope you can understand what I mean. 

It is not just Hitachi appliances always use less energy. Many others do have. Got to search more. The brand here is limited compare western country. Which have more choice to shop around.

It is not always about the inverter technology. One of the example advance tech for this kind of fridge is the insulation. Have you notice that with such a big capacity, the fridge size not that big. Inside capacity/space in increase. But able to retain total outer size small. While the inside cool air won't effect at all. That mean the wall is thinner. If you research more, you can find that, they using space material technology to insulate the fridge. If you talk about space technology, all is high tech stuff. But high tech price also. 

There is a bunch of sensor inside this fridge to detect whatever thing. To reduce the waste, odour and power etc. Hope not easily spoil.    There is still many others new tech inside, that you cannot see and touch. But doing their job behind.

Without knowledge about this tech, you won't understand why it is so expensive.

Side by side fridge for me is, waste of space. Narrow and thin inside. But fat outside. Got to learn how to save space in small home. Ignore it if you live in banglo.

i found this online and you may check the energy usage here. though not all fridge is listed.
energy consumption

Aiyoh please lah, a few hundred kWh for the whole year you all want to kira....
Just buy whatever you like, the difference is Rm100 annually nia 

Believe it or not, I have no idea how to check on power consumption on the fridge alone.  The fridge itself is totally silent.  The beauty of the fridge is enough to put smiles on me each time I walk past it.  To me, its definitely worth the value. 

I live in a condo so space is important and limited.  I only have room for one big fridge, unlike most people will have 2 or 3 fridges at home.  My first choice when hunting for a fridge was a 'Side by Side' fridge only.  After a long hesitation, it still comes down to me that the compartments are too narrow.
If one fine day that you need to put a huge cake or big fish, the compartment just cannot accommodate it.  The last straw was when I stayed at my brother's home and he has the 'Side by Side' fridge and it's messy. Impossible to find things.

Thank you for sharing the energy link!

Hi. Which one I should go for between two model below:-

1. Panasonic NR-BX468XSMY
2. Hitachi R-VG490P8M

Thanks

Hard to make comparison, coz manufacturers don't normally have two identical fridge specs, 1 with inverter, 1 without. But based on my educated guess, inverter is usuallly around 1k-1.5k more expensive than regulat fridge.

Not sure if the extra cost is justified...

Where the hell you get such information?

You're explain like the fridge no sensor to detect the different temperature.

There is still a lot of fridge model don't have inverter.
