I'm in the midst of looking for a fridge too. I saw the fridge with freezer at the bottom (can't remember which model). I didn't like it coz from what i see..i can't properly stack the tupperwares. Furthermore, space is lost as there's no space at the door unlike top freezer, there's additonal space at the door.

out of curiosity..how about built-in fridges? seen any in Malaysia??

Sharp has their butterfly series..probably you can check it out..the door has dual swings..

I'm thinking of getting this as well. So far..what's your comments on it?

Thanks! I'll start surveying.

My boss told me that he only buys mitsubishi as their motor is good and it comes with a warranty (can't recall how long). I checked their prices..and oh boy..they ain't cheap.

I'm in a dilemma...I've narrowed down to getting a french door refrigerator either from Sharp or Hitachi.

Sharp - the freezer is at the bottom with 6 drawer compartments

Hitachi - freezer is at the top with 2 level shelves (like the normal top freezer refrigerators) with a water dispenser, which you need to fill the tank..rather than havign piping.

I've been googling and i've read that freezer at the bottom is much more energy efficient compared to the freezer at the top (as hot air rises, it will take lesser energy to keep the bottom freezer cold compared to top freezer)...though i've received a comment from a friend not to get the bottom freezer (but he didn't further explain why).

what are you sifus advice?

Thanks!

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?

Then French door is what you need coz its 4 door- 2 doors top and bottom.

Yaay! finally got my fridge...bought Sharp Kagami 691MBK. Happy with it .

Wished i could get a french door but unfortunately it can't fit my space. However, this model is quite wide too.
