Did anyone already buy this Hitachi R-VG660P3M or R-V660P3M/P3MX yet? What's your feedback? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I'm agree with you that the freezer shelf compartment kind of small, but my wife prefer to have this model because of the brand and it comes with inverter.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, at this moment only Hitachi, Panasonic, Samsung and LG comes with the inverter model, too bad for Sharp and Toshiba it only have 5 star rating saving.

I went to few of Electrical shop in SS2, Setapak and Puchong, majority of them suggested to get Japan brand fridge like Hitachi (they are specialize in this), Sharp and Toshiba. Not recommended to get Korean brand fridge. Panasonic is not as good as National used to be.

Perhaps can anyone please suggest any for me?
I'm actually looking for Japan brand fridge, with budget around 2.6K, around 500L of gross capacity and comes with inverter. Thank you.

You can get around RM2600 (plus/minus) in outside for R-VG660P3M.
SenHeng is selling it at RRP and it comes with additional 1 year warranty, that's why much more expensive.
Today is the first day of Modern Home Fair 2014 in Mid Valley, maybe you can get good bargain for Home Appliances? I'm going in tomorrow btw...

Only two brand --> Sharp and Electrolux... no Hitachi!

What's the price for this model?

Thanks for the info.

Cash term, right?

Off topic a bit, need advice from all Sifu.
From your experience, among all the Electrical shop in SS2 (same row as SS2 Murni), which shop offer better after sales services and better value, since I'm about to get fridge, washing machine, water heater, air-cond for my new house.

Last week when I was in SS2 looking for Hitachi Fridge, one of the electrical shop quote me with price >RM2700 for R-VG710P3M.
Most of the shop I went, they said with this price range I only can get Hitachi R-VG660P3M and not for R-VG710P3M (normally RRP RM3299).
I'm going to check again with the seller in tomorrow, else I shall take R-VG660P3M.

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

I bought R-VG710P3M from HLK SS2 in yesterday, waiting for it to arrive on mid of April.

Hi... I didn't go for R-VG660P3M and got R-VG710P3M instead, my wife want a BIG fridge.
Most of the shop offer around RM2500 (plus/minus) for R-VG660P3M, I managed to get R-VG710P3M with RM2600.

I got my Hitachi fridge in yesterday afternoon and start to use it in yesterday night.
From my observation, it is quite noisy when fully pick up (around 60dB) if compare to my mum's old Toshiba fridge .
FYI, I using the software "sound meter lite" with my Android to track the sound level, I do not have sound level meter.



Also, you can refer to another feedback shared by sovietmah in post #1167 for his fridge R-V750PM. The sound level stay constant around 60db.

Yup, you are right.
I got it for RM2600, best deal in town!

Yes, it's R-VG710P3M GBK .

I am lucky to find one of the retail shop selling this fridge much cheaper than other seller, they told me that last month there was promotion for Hitachi product.

Most of the buyer (including myself) not believe with the price they offer, most probably they are selling this fridge that get from grey market. Later they said their company want to hit the sales target before end of March (also end of financial year in Japan) and therefore selling it much cheaper than other seller. It's not from the grey market and we shall get warranty from Hitachi Sales (Malaysia).

YGPM...

Good... new owner of R-VG710P3M!

I think it's a known issue for Hitachi fridge that quite noisy when fully pick-up, where it can stay constant around 60db.

Another forumer sovietmah raised this issue earlier of March for his fridge R-V750PM and I raised my issue early of April after bought R-VG710P3M, you can refer from here.

That's interesting... how much will it be if apply something to the compressor?
Also, will it void the warranty?

Btw... I found this link that may related to Hitachi fridge getting noisy, looks like the design flaw (or cheap part) to reduce the vibration for the compressor?

Wow... that's bad! I don't have this problem so far.
You better call your seller to get technician drop by to look in to it.

You'll get used to with it's noise eventually…

Majority of the Hitachi fridge owner will face this high pitch sound when compressor kick in, I think this is the design flaw and I did not see anyone posted in here with the proper solution for it.

I'm quite happy with my fridge R-VG710P3M but not happy with the compressor noise.

I could not find any Toshiba fridge comes with inverter around April 2014, so I ended up getting Hitachi fridge.
Only in my last visit to Harvey Norman in previous month, then I found out Toshiba was released their 2014 model recently that comes with Inverter.

Don't trust fully whatever SA tell you, always do your own research!

Mine is Hitachi R-VG710P3M, bought it around end of March this year.

I love this fridge very much except one issue -> High pitch sound when compressor pick-up, which I already shared my experience previously , but now I already get used to it, not concern anymore~

What's the model of fridge your friend using?
I don't have the problem you mentioned... no water spot or leak in vegetables area.

Try those shop that same row as Murni SS2... you can get good bargain from there if you willing pay with cash.
You can go to chain store if you look for installment, most of them offer 0% installment but don't expected you can get cheaper home appliances if compare to other store.
