[Urgent] My 16YO Japan Made Panasonic fridge is dying. What fridge to get?

[coloumbiaGames]

Any Japanese brand will be fine. Usually.

how to know/check if the product is MIJ?
ask the salesman? can be trusted?




unless it has a 'sticker' on the fridge doors to state it so

The model with MJI sticker. Validated from manufacturer’s website. Wanting to hear to if hitachi MIJ is good. Or else I’ll just buy Japan brand MIT instead

 

[CyberTan]

Just stick to the Japan Made Panasonic .....

Very few models are MIJ. Plus our kitchen has size restrictions allocated for the fridge

My 8th yr Samsung fridge still working well but it's capacity can no longer sustain our food storage. Need to change a bigger one. Intend to get sharp. How to donate old fridge that is still working?

 

[winningeleven]

Get Japanese brand, skip Samsung. Samsung cheap and looks good but dun really last

Nothing from Samsung is good. From handphone , tv , washing machine. I feel LG is better korean brand.

That’s why I like Japan made stuff. I willing to support them. But must have reasons mah.

If not spoilt why buy? Now spoil so must change it urgently

actually it depends on how you use the fridge. as long as you minimise messing with rubber sealings & power plug, it can last pretty long

my mom is currently using a 375l made in cheena samsung for 10 yrs plus, mainly for storage of excess groceries that cannot fit into main fridge. she never pull off power plug, always switched on. rubber sealings only wipe with damp cloth (with no cleaning agent) every 3-4 months

My Hitachi made in Jpn, juz spoilt ytd afternoon. Lasted 7 years 11 months. 10th march would be 8 years liaoz

[aarontansp]

Looking at Goh Ah Bee. Their price is competitive. Need to look at fridge later. Must decide within a day or two as the food in the fridge is starting to turn bad.

Try asia excel

Then it wouldn’t make sense to buy them anymore.
