Fridge - Recommendation
-
I have a Fisher and Paykel. After 4 years, motor not as quiet as before, can hear it hum a little especially at night. Mine has a matte silver finish. I rubbed the surface of the door once and the protective coating came off. Door also dents easily. As it’s a single door fridge, the plastic shelves are wider but I wish they were thicker and more sturdy too. Design wise, I like the freezer drawer at the bottom - so much easier to search for frozen stuff.
A relative has a Hitachi 2 door side by side. Nice design. I think the fridge feels more sturdy than mine - shelves thicker than my F&P model. Had some problems with the ice and water dispenser - dispenser was eventually replaced by Hitachi. -
thanks for ur recommendation.
Mine is Mitsubishi folio,used for 5yrs…recently discover lots of condensation.All the newspaper which i use to wrap the vegetables turn wet after 1day.
my freezer is also at the bottom,i dislike it coz hv to squat down to look for frozen stuff.I’ve back problem…
But if feezer on top,i oso hv problem,coz i am only 160cm. -
160cm quite tall, ah! I’m just slightly taller than you…
Compared to searching for stuff in top freezer, I prefer my F&P bottom freezer. There’s different drawers so can organise what to put where, then don’t need to search through so much. Also drawer design means can pull out and see, reduce need to take everything out just to find something.
Have you considered a 2 door side by side fridge? Freezer on 1 side and fridge on other side. Put the things you use less often on top and bottom shelves. However, need to consider whether can fully open the doors and take out the shelf to clean. I can’t have a side by side cos there’s a wall on one side of my refrigerator - one door will not be able to fully swing open, won’t be able to remove or adjust shelves on that side. -
how big is f&p chiller?
my kitchen is very small,cannot put 2 dr side by side too. I prefer 3 doors coz hv bigger storage space, compared to side by side one,coz its bigger space for me to put the whole pot of soup or curry into the fridge -
My chiller is reasonably big cos it’s 1 door f&p refrigerator with 1 lower door for freezer drawer. No issue with big pots but have to put on lowest shelf if too heavy. My issue is with the shelves - could be thicker - tend to sag cos too heavy if too many bottles or stuff on shelf. Honestly, this fridge feels flimsy compared to my previous Whirlpool fridge, so I don’t quite like it.

is Whirlpool fridge good?
-
My whirlpool fridge lasted about 9 years… Quite average at that time, when fridges could last longer. Wonder what’s the average lifespan of a fridge now?
Didn’t quite like it - Motor became quite loud after 3rd year or so. But no other problems till motor died. Loved the thick sturdy shelves, trays and holders - kept some of them, recycled for different use and they are still in good condition. -
Just a question here: does your fridge have this problem of frost/ice building up in the freezer compartment?
My LG had this problem, with ice covering the light compartment, plus some of the vents where cold air comes out. The underneath of each tray (which is the ceiling of the compartment just below) are like limestone caves, with the ice forming stalactites…
I called the technician in and he unscrewed the plastic partition wall to expose the motor, and i was astonished to see that it was covered by massive ice. The tech used a mallet knock on a large screwdriver to break up the ice to smaller pieces to dislodge them… Had to wipe them dry later before restarting the power else ice could form again…
In any case, do not open the freezer for too long period, else this will happen. The tech also advised not to block the air vents completely as that might trap all the cold air in the motor area… -
Looking for fridge and need recommendation.
Mitsubishi seems expensive
hitachi is more affordable
panasonic technology seems good
currently we are using LG for 11 years and the ice dispenser is spoilt.
Mum friend recommend NR-F555 panasonic but fridge is above which is not easily accessible for children.
Hubby suggested getting 2 door so kids can access fridge easily.
what yr opinion. -
