Help me buy a brand new refrigerator

so how did the 8.7 cu.ft get to be smaller than the 6 cu. ft?

Numbers lie now, doc.[emoji14]

Our 2 Panasonic inverter refs are still working. They must be > 8 y/o by now.

Would like to get a model that makes ice automatically but will wait until one conks out.

The 2cuft difference went to freezer space apparently.

We looked at several stores that carry different variants of the same ref. There were really small differences. On the outside they all looked the same but once you look inside you'll notice thicker walls on some models which made the interior smaller. We got what we knew was the one with the most room inside. No frost refs tend to have thicker inner walls, I noticed.

Think optimized proportions relative to practical use.
An exaggerated example of comparison here....
Would you rather take a lot area of 100sq m w/ dimensions of 1m x 100m over one measuring 9m x 9m or 81sq m?[emoji4]

Asked the LG vs Samsung question a chef cousin of mine who's also w/ the appliance industry in the US....Answer? Samsung for phones, LG for domestic fridges. Mexican-made Whirlpools currently have dwindling inventory. Trump-induced. Professional? So many good choices. Thermador, SubZero among em.

chef or not.. majority in the us still use consumer reports as a guide.

The Samsung ref we got with built-in AVR has thicker walls due to insulation ... Helps during power failures ...

No disrespect to anyone's opinion, sir. Years of 1st hand exposure & experience in various kitchens can give some valued perspective. He's now a domestic & professional kitchen consultant. Just sharing what was shared.
Products & brands do change over time. Unfortunately, programmed obsolescence seem to be modern tech's common pairing now over durability.

Try Samsung refs ... The newer inverter models have built-in AVR already ...

so may added safety features na pala. Pero warranty ilan years?

[WallyWest]

Speaking of AVR, ano maganda for ref na hindi naman sobrang mahal? Preferably may power on delay.

Stavol AVRs are like half the price of my ref.

eto yung ref dito sa office.. funny it doesn't say na inverter sya.. pero may nakalagay na Inverter don sa ref..

Try Meiji, so far so good for me. I bought it 4 yrs ago for my 19cu ft Panasonic Inverter ref.

For extra assurance I bought a Panther power on delay for our Samsung twin-door inverter. Mura lang naman ang Panther. Both still working fine after 4 years. Linis na lang kulang

Not all ... and ... Power on delay is not the same as AVR ...

Mostly mga servo avr ang may feature na power on delay.

Timer lang yun na idedelay ang pagpasok ng kuryente sa ref oras na mag-resume ang electricity from a blackout.
