[deathan9el]

real soild brands are all japanese thats why one by one all toh eg. National, Sanyo, Toshiba...........now even those hitachi and mitsubishi also degraded........

me have Sharp fridge & mashing wachine

not sure if both are really MIJ :/

 

[d5dude]

depends on what items, samsung and LG screens are best in the business lol
but I would stay away from the washing machine, microwave, fridge types of appliances

My Samsung tv and pc monitor all spoil shortly after warranty expire, TV is flagship model somemore.

 

[The_King]

Samsung......

 

[winningeleven]

Yes. Samsung. Please avoid everything from this brands, phones , TV , washing machine and fridges.

Anything from powerpac. No wonder u can't buy this brand from major electronics store such as courts, HN,gain city etc. U want to buy cheap fan , still can go for mistral or sona.

most brands use samsung panels leh, even popular ones like msi, alienware etc... sometimes it is really just luck, the customer service is truly trash though lol

Samsung.

Will breakdown near warranty end date

The worst thing is after warranty breakdown they tell you is beyond repair must buy new one. This tactic really like black market.

LG also got make panels, I think it’s not panel problem, it’s the other hardware in the tv/monitor that cmi.

Come share the appliances and the brands that u avoid

Read my thread here:

Tiagong the Sterra airpurifier is just some Alibaba device from China that is rebranded

If it is true, can someone show the exact product on alibaba??
If it is not true, how are their products? Like Sterra Sun Sterra Moon etc?

How the experience using them? Good anot?

Avoid local brands stand fan. Bought $50+ europace fan that claimed ball bearing and copper motor still spoil after 3 years. Not cheap too. Changed to $80+ tdk stand fan lasted many years and the wind still very strong at level 1 speed.

I have 2 SONA wall fan, claimed ball bearing and copper motor. Still working though, will see how long it last.
KDK is the bomb, it seemed to last forever.

Actually I just bought a midea conventional oven to replace my cornell brand wan. Bought it as My wife liked the design and the colour . Very retro style

 

[bobo07]

sound bars are e worst….. can spoil all sudden….. either cannot Bluetooth or power failure

I read somewhere LG has a more robust compressor type, different from the standard ones.
So if you're buying anything with compressor like fridge, aircon, you might want to consider LG from this perspective.
