Buying a refrigerator

**Jun aka Pekto** · March 13th, 2007 01:16 PM

We have a side by side GE in the kitchen:

We also have a fullsize Whirlpool fridge (freezer on top) and a Whirpool chest freezer in the garage. Just noticed they're in the background of my sig...

Whirlpools seem pretty durable although ours are lackluster and devoid of any special features. The GE is fine too. But, the water filter require changing every year and the icemaker tend to fill up too fast and jam the chute.

look for the new generation refs ng fisher & paykel, frigidaire, etc, although mas mahal compared to the previous gen no-frosts mas matipid na. 1/4 ang claim nilang electrical consumption kumpara sa mga luma because hindi na every few hours ang defrosting kundi as needed na lang.

Eto inputs ko mga pards.. When buying a ref eto computation para malaman ang consumption.

X watts / 1000 * 5php * number of hours = consumption of an electric appliance in Pesos per X number of hours.

So mapa no frost or may frost do the math kung acceptable sa iyo iyong babayaran mo pagdating ng electric bill.

bro rollan pare Napasyalan mo na ba Western Mktg. Warehouse sa T. Morato SFDM?
Mura dun, What I do is canvass muna ko ng model sa malalaking appliance center
tapos order sa kanila kasi maliit lang ang showroom nila since bodega nga.
Nung minsan bumili ko ng 21” Panasonic TV me libre ba naman desk fan na
Panasonic din.
Also wall mounted fan, binigyan ba naman ako ng thermos hehe
Lapit pa sa ‘tin. Tel 373-4501 ask mo lang re credit card schemes.

sa mga naka old USA side-by-side refs, nasa P2T pesos per month ang consumo ng mga yan. 2 kaibigan na compute nila so pinalitan na rin namin yung sa amin kahit di pa sira. P2T nga ang nabawas sa bill namin!

up ko lang...

kailagan narin namin bumili ng bagong fridge.... hinde na lumalamig yun baba since laging full load yun freezer kapag nag grocery kami....ito naman problema ko ano mas maganda and cost effective in the long run...

a) buy 1 big fridge 10 cu ft or more
b) buy 1 smaller fridge and 1 ice chest

kasi iniisip ko kung isang malaki tapos almost full palagi ang laman eh di mas mahihrapan ang motor hence more energy..
so pag yun option B. although mas malaki ang combine wattage eh since mahahati naman ang load eh mas hinde hirap ang motor nilang 2 so mas tipid pa rin sa consumption... tama ba iniisip ko?

ano na bang magandang brand ngayon? I'm looking at panasonic...yun ice chest ano bang magandang brand..?
