Wah.. mosmos dunno u also sexperts on fridge! Can recommend me a good one around 1k? :o

Sent from ..... using GAGT

I am bad luck with fridge so is washing machine, that time I bought Hitachi fridge also bought $999 Hitachi top load washing machine 13kg with inverter. I like that it uses less than 200w. But now think again I guess daily use once for only 60mins, 200w or 500w does not make much difference.

after using 2wks, during spin dry I heard like metal scratching sound. Called for repair, the repair man said the belt loose. I was wondering why inverter not direct motor still use belt and use 2 weeks already loose?

after Washing machine and fridge incident, I don't trust Hitachi liao.

I use LG direct drive inverter motor WFT1271DD, 12 kg load due to washing large items,top load washing machine. No belt on motor. Best buy so far, good washing cycles and cotton threads are visible instead of my previous samsung washer side door, all cotton threads are crumpled and squeezed together.
LG 4381PZ fridge - very good and saves power and powerful coolness.
LG 55SJ850T tv - very good resolution and impressive pictures.

LG is good in above products.

Maybe your LG tv set did not turn out as it should in quality. But so far so good for me. Bye. not intending to debate on this. Refer to LG service centre, labrador park circle line station, if has any queries.

my fridge used for 15 years..defrost timer spoiled once...

the NEA tick is not accurate 1... i see the power consumption.

Side by side very big freezer of course use more electricity.

But the savings $690 compared to other brands $1000k or maybe more, pay $400 difference enough to pay electricity for 4 years if other uses $1xx annually

Does anyone know how NEA or whoever calculate the fridge volume and energy efficiency?
Some salesman told me that method is disadvantage to fridge with variable speed fan. Another one I noticed is that the manufacturer (MIJ Hitachi) claims is more than the NEA label volume.

:s22: I guess cannot compare old one bcause no inverter and motherboard to control everything.

I am looking to get Panasonic NR-CY558GW,two ticks. Is Panasonic brand for fridge ok?

fridge quite wide, do you have so much space?

i prefer fridge that are deep and tall, for my kitchen, i place next to kitchen cabinet, if too wide might block some cupboard door from openng fully.
