Choosing an Inverter Ref : Panasonic or Samsung

**Radical!** · January 12th, 2015 06:04 PM

I would take a look at the available Korean brands in the market, particularly LG. It's cheaper and has better quality. Panasonic has sold majority shares of their consumer appliances business to Sharp way back in 2007. So Panasonic is not like it was. National (formerly Matsushita electric industrial corp ltd) decided to leave the consumer appliances business to diversify into other tech products in automotive and avionics.

If you have no confidence in Korean brands, you may be better off buying Sharp appliances.

May I ask your experience in Korean brands?

I have LG TV, Samsung Ref, front load washer. Cheers

Sadly, our two year old Samsung Digital Inverter ref just went on the fritz and lost cooling.

Our Panasonic is still in perfect condition. It's a really good brand.

Year-old Samsung inverter ref still doing ok. It's plugged into a power on delay to protect against brownouts.

Aside from a power delay, a voltage regulator would be good. AFAIK, our energy supply drop/surges (especially if you're in a province with a really terrible power shortage) are the real appliance killers.

8months pa lang 'yung Samsung Inverter Ref namin. oks na oks pa rin siya.
ito lang ang appliance namin na tatak Samsung.

sana naman magtagal rin sa amin ito.
'yung pinalitan nito na Kelvinator (No Frost din), tumagal sa amin ng 14years.
retired na at nasa probinsiya na pero busy pa rin sa kanyang "Ice / Ice Candy For Sale" business.
