Buying a refrigerator

[VtEC]

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..?

just my view on it.why not buy a small freezer for stuffs which needs to be on the freezer and buy a 4 or 5cu.ft ref (that is without the freezer, kung meron)for items like milk, fruits etc etc.

^^^thanks Vtec, ganyan nga iniisip ko eh..kahit siguro meron freezer yun refrigerator ok lang pwede doon na mga ice for drinks and mga ice creams, etc, mga clean stuffs...

gusto ko sana pumunta ng mall para mag canvass eh, pero medyo wrong timing ngayon at nakaktakot...

sir, stay away from condura and kelvinator brands, naka dalawang palit na ako kasi nag oover ice sa itaas, nagpapawis kasi, panasonic na ang pinalit ko ngayon and so far so good, walang over ice sa itaas at ito din ang nirecommend ng mga fellow tsikoters.

ok ang panasonic 9cu ft., semi auto defrost at super lamig!

ito sakin bigay ng panasonic phils. thru rewards ng panasonic batteries, swak na swak as bedroom ref

ok, panasonic na rin bibilhin ko, eh yun ice chest...anong magandang brand?

Just the thread that I was looking for

We're also going to buy a new ref before we move in sa new house. I don't know if the correct way to determine the electric consumption is to know how much wattage the unit uses.

Right now we have narrowed down the choice between these two:

1. Samsung side-by-side 14 cubic with 145watts maximum consumption for P41,000 plus.

2. GE (General Electric) 10 cubic inch dual door (as in up & down doors) with also 145watts maximum consumption for P22,000 plus.

Right now were leaning towards the Samsung because it has more space and is side-by-side na, very modern design. The only downside I see is the cost.

I wonder if some of you out there have owned a Samsung ref, maybe you can give some feedback on durability, performance, etc.

we just got a new ref its a electrolux/white westinghouse unit..i think parang rebranded whirlpool because its exactly the same yung iba lang yung material ng shelves glass ito.. bakal naman yung whirlpool and maganda you save thousands on the price!

i thought samsung was ok pero durability is in question due friends' experience...and look inside,the plastic is kinda flimsy..but thats just me..

go for the side by side type ref, mas ok ito at mas spacious para sakin. also like you said mas modern talaga tingnan. main kitchen ref ko is side by side whirlpool, sobrang lamig kahit sa normal ref side pag sobra 3 na ang setting which is middle medyo nagyeyelo na ang mga tubig ganun kalamig! sa freezer side naman nasa 1.5 lang ang setting at yelong yelo talaga lahat hehe

dunno how much though kasi binigay rin lang as reward

Thanks! I'll check the plastics when I go back to the store next week. I'm more concerned sa life ng motor even if it carries a 5 year warranty on it.

The Whirlpool brand was our first choice but then medyo Whirly ang price for us hehehe. Ganda sana. Sa barkada ko kasi Whirlpool sa kanila at yup sobrang lamig talaga, yung chiller para ng freezer ang lamig
