Kklee 6th Gear April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 For fridges, these are what I look out for a) SAFETY MARK - The 2-digit year will indicate how old is the model. b) ENERGY SAVING LABEL - The no. of ticks might not be that relevant. IIRC, there is a total KwH rating. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusty 1st Gear April 21, 2008 Author Share April 21, 2008 how much kwh is then worth the buy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 (edited) There is no fixed rule, depending on your needs, you'll need to do comparison between different makes/models. Don't be surprise to find some physically smaller fridge might cost more to operate than larger ones. For information purposes, SP Power charges 23.88cents per kWh.

Klinz Neutral Newbie April 21, 2008 Share April 21, 2008 I bought a LG fridge same model you are looking except no water dispenser..It was recommended by the technician who came to service my broken down fridge (Indesit brand) I did ask him F&P better why LG...He told me he told me he service a lot of fridge and so far LG one he hardly came across that spoilt apart from replacing the rubber thingy. I had been using this LG fridge for abt 6 mth I would say value for money and temperature quite constant even with fridge fully loaded with food unlike previous one put more food need to adjust temperature. Efficiency wise I guess not much different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
