Help me buy a brand new refrigerator

[oj88]

Been scouting for a brand new ref...

What should I consider....

1. Frost vs. Non-frost....

2. Single or Two Door....

3. Cubic Size.....

4. Brands......

5. Efficiency Rating for Power consumption....

Budget is around 20k....

1. No-frost para low-maintenance
2. 2-door para konti lang makawalang lamig everytime a door is opened
3. Depends on your needs, family size, etc.
4. LG for me... we have three no-frost units (2 conventional and 1 inverter)
5. Depends on your answer to #3 and whether it's a conventional or inverter type

My own family of 4 came from a 7 cu-ft conventional ref (Sanyo) which was a wedding gift to us almost 15 years ago. Just this year, we replaced it with a 15 cu-ft LG door-in-door model.

THIS is the exact model we bought from Ansons for about 32k. The 3rd door allows us to access frequently-used items without opening up the main door and lose too much cool air. Apart from it being an inverter, the 3rd door also helps lower consumption in the long run.



The old conventional 7 cu-ft unit starts its compressor at 150W and stabilizes to 90W. The new 15 cu-ft inverter model floats around 85-90W with the compressor at 'medium' speed and 250W during the short defrost cycle. Otherwise, my new inverter unit is twice as large as the old one but consumes roughly the same power.

Yeah mas mahirap nga maghanap ng frozen stuff pag bottom freezer...or maybe a new shelving strategy is needed

The nice thing about bottom freezers (15 cu ft) is that there are models with shelves and drawers ... top mounted freezers usually don't ... bottom freezers don't have lights ...

Got something like this ... inverter that can function on 150V-270V ... no need for AVR anymore ... most newer Samsung refs have this feature ...

According sa ref technician if your place is binabaha forget the inverter.

And medyo madali daw bumigay inverter if you compare sa conventional no frost...

Matibay daw G.E. Example mga naondoy na nahabagat......Pinatuyo lang for few days.....Walang pinalitan....ayus pa din.

compressors operate at pressure. if nabaha do you think papasukin ng water ang compresor?

Yung electronic inverter board daw madali bumigay.

hvac basic design principle.. never put the controllers on the bottom.

also if your appliances get wet during a flood. dry them before using.

Nung ondoy and habagat kasi majority house lubog so tumatabingi ref and mag semi-float.... Doon madadale yung electronics.

Tapos kung may dadaan pa trucktora expect tidal wave..

electronics do get fried if there is power or when it is energized.

my friends we sometimes wash motherboards in dishwashers. but we bake it to remove water or moisture beneath ics.

If your house gets inundated, I think the fate of your ref is not going to be your biggest concern.

As with above, electronics are reasonably water proof as long as they're not energized at point of fluid contact. Otherwise, what could kill it is corrosion if it is not cleaned soon enough.

Kung ganyan nangyari sa fridge mo, bakit mo pa gagamitin? Eh di bili na ng bago.

Hindi sa ref ko.

Nung pumunta ako sa warehouse to check mga ref, technician pinakausap sa akin.

Buhayin ko lang ito. Im in the market for a new ref. Plan ko bumili ng at least 20 cubic ft side by side ref. Ano ba mas ok between samsung and lg?

Some Samsung refrigerators have built-in voltage regulators ...

Was in the same situation 3 years ago, looking for the best side by side inverter ref.
Mas marami complaints sa samsung than lg sa consumer reviews so LG kinuha ko. No complaints at all.
Wala pang side by side ang panasonic before but meron na sila ngayon na french door na made in japan.
I suggest you still use a voltage regulator with timer delay to protect your expensive ref.

We had an LG that lasted us more than 15 years. Bought a new LG rin to replace.

look for unused old units from stores. Ansons have huge discounts on them via cash payment. We found an LG 2door inverter for cheap.

Maganda nga mag price si Ansons, problem lang is high freight charge negates the savings, when you live in the suburbs, talo sila ng the likes of Abenson dito, who charge minimally for deliveries.
