Hi all. Buying a refrigerator, considering Sharp, Panasonic and Mitsubishi.

I noticed that Sharp's refrigerators are slightly cheaper than the Panasonic and Mitsubishi equivalents, but I don't have many friends using Sharp refrigerators.

Anybody using Sharp refrigerators can advise?

currently a Sharp fridge/wm user
5 years on when we first moved in :o

now the fridge making that whirring sound
on/off
probably overloaded w/ contents on the freezer sect :s22:

in any case, consider MIJ products when buying household items
from other ppl's feedback here from prev threads

🤷‍♂️

I am currently using the Sharp 5 doors model with water dispenser. In term of capacity, this model is the largest among other brands. Upon taking delivery, I found that the water dispenser door can't swirl. Lodge a complaint, have to book appointment for the service technician to certify the door is damaged before Sharp arranges a replacement unit.

So far so good

Sharp fridges quality quite good & prices are cheaper than some similar competitor models because of more basic features but if have higher budget allows then get Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Hitachi.

I have been using my current Sharp refrigerator for the last 18 years and my wife is getting upset because she has no excuse to change a newer model with new features :ROFLMAO:

I used a french door Sharp fridge before. It is very durable. I think I bought a Sharp fridge in my new house, much smaller one... using climate voucher.

I support Sharp.

But at the end it really comes down to the size of the fridge. It need to fit inside your kitchen... I bought Sharp also because the size just fit nicely into the corner of my small 3R flat's kitchen... So Sharp or panasonic or Mitsubishi they are all good. Jap fridges I like.
