6 doors fridge

[skthk21]

looking at getting 6 door fridge.

Toshiba RM593WE around $2.4K (made in China)
Panasonic NRF503GT $3K (made in Japan)
Mitsubishi B46GWP $3.2k (MADE IN JAPan)
Hitachi HWS480KS $3.2k (made in Japan)
HW540WS $3.5k (MADE IN JAPAN)

Which model would you go for ?
Is it worth to pay over $1K more for a Hitachi over Toshiba ? made in Japan quality really makes a big difference vs made in China ?

I am using Hitachi RB6200 now... been more than 15yrs liao... still working great despite our heavy usage... lots of opening and closing and overloaded all the times...

Whether it is worth the extra 1K... only you yourself can answer...

And it depends on your luck also... you could be paying 1K more to buy a MIJ fridge and yet it spoilt within 3yrs... or your MIC fridge can last more than 10yrs also possible...

It is not just about separating your food... Multi door fridge are supposedly more energy efficient in the long run... coz you only open the compartment that you need and not the whole left/top or right/bottom section... it reduced the amount of cold air escaped...

But then multi door fridge are usually bigger so naturally it used more energy...

Unless you have the need to have a large fridge... a smaller 2-3 door fridge might be better...

For expensive multi-door fridge buy made in Japan

15year technology means rf134a leh ... rf600a more efficient i think

 

[deathan9el]

all in all, better take note of the size, see if it fits the lift, for pigeon hole dwellers espc

bless those delivery workers should they have to lug that giant to the upper floors

landed, no issue

 

[asymmetric]

Made in Japan for me

 

[robie_aibo]

I am using Sharp 5 doors, 650L. Think it is the largest capacity fridge in the market for home use.

Hitachi/Mitsubishi/Panasonic

MIJ models are good.

The Toshiba fridge is quite big. Can use the climate vouchers to offset?
