Did u get the Hitachi in the end?Been having a dilemma between 2 fridge...
Looking for a Japan brand, French-door above 500L but also at the same time having 3 ticks if possible..
So far boils down to two choices only..
Sharp SJ-VX57ES-DS vs Hitachi R-WB640V0MS
Leaning more towards Sharp as it feels simpler and non-glass (less fingerprints)
Anyone using the Sharp SJ-VX57ES care to chime in on your experience so far?
Hitachi R-WB640V0MS seems like an older model compared to Sharps SJ-VX57ES and worry with that it's automatic ice maker might be have an added opportunity to break down in the near future.. but I like it's vacuum compartment lol..
So how’s the fridge after 2 years? Still facing issues?I get rattling every night with my Hitachi, but I thnk that's the de-icer at work melting the ice and causing them to drop to the water/collection tray. Not sure if same situation as yours.

Oh no... How long before it died? I just got one yesterday...Replaced it after it failed and we needed a bigger fridge anyway![]()

For what it’s worth, my main fridge which is also a Hitachi about 2 years older than the one which died, is still going strong.
I see, which hitachi model did you get? I got the Sharp cos the dimensions fits the space I have in the kitchen perfectly, hopefully, the new hitachi you’d gotten to replace it is similar in size, if so, maybe I’ll go change to the same one… TIA!
Hahaha scary mah… u like kena problems with the same fridge 2x leh… haiz…aiyoh, buy liao jiu buy liao, reputable Jap brands should be quite ok unless suay got a lemon.

my current Samsung lasted me more than 10 years but I scared it dies suddenly, that’s why I went to get the Sharp one… family quite big, so very dependent on the fridge…
Oh, my bad… I tot the sharp got replaced before… anyway, my place not so big lah… cannot put 2 fridges…Eh, no lah, the fridge that died is the same fridge that was making noise. So it was probably half a lemon. That's why I mentioned my older Hitachi fridge still going strong.
That's why get two fridges. If one got problem, still can transfer the more perishable/valuable stuff to the other fridge.
Which model is this may I know?Please avoid any panasonic fridge. Bought and 4 mths later keep rattling for no reason..and then not cold. Regret.
