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 ...

Access Denied

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?

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.
