robert k Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 I like Panasonic. I look for Hanabishi to buy because it's fair quality and Philippines made (assembled at least) but when they wanted 1k php more for the Hanabishi than the Fuji Denso for the exact same thing, Fuji won.

Happyhorn52 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Filipino Apartment owner replaced my broken refrigerator with the cheapest thing he could find which is par for the course here. It is also smaller than the unit it replaced, but at least it was a new Panasonic with improved energy efficiency. If I were making the purchasing decisions I would have paid extra and got the inverter unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hounddriver Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 15 minutes ago, sonjack2847 said: How much more efficient are the inverter appliances. Purely anecdotal evidence, I know, but I estimate my old fashioned style of fridge (Not old, just non inverter and manual defrost so "old fashioned") cost about 300 to 500 pesos more a month in electricity than my inverter type. I base that on my old bills running just over 5K a month at this time of year and my current bills running at just under 5K a month. Could be coincidence but the bill is definitely lower and the fridge is the only thing I have changed lately. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever you buy Kev stay away from Kelvinator, we have one plus a Haier, during brown outs the stock inside the kelvinator is soon soft, not so in the Haier. Ito very tempting to give away the kelvinator and replace with another Haier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are furnishing rental apartments I would think it's what's best for your buying budget and perhaps a long lasting appliance rather than the comfort or the cost savings to a tenant unless you can get a premium rental price for better furnishings and appliances ? Not sure what the Dumaguete rental crowd would expect in a rental. If I was to rent one can I have one of these 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDDavao II Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 We bought a Samsung inverter freezer-on-the-bottom (which must have been cold haha!) model for the kitchen. It has served well four four years, even with power outages. In no way would I buy it for tenants, though. For the bar, I got a little Panasonic whose only problems seem to be a fridge door that won't close completely after a certain number of beers (which leads to whispers and frowns among the ladyfolk of the House in the morning), and a small puddle that appears on the top of the fridge door but cannot be traced to the freezer gasket for love or money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early days of inverters ,they were quite large in size and would be used to drive large electrical motors ,the cost of the inverter would pay for itself after 8 months , we went from using what is called star delta to inverters very quickly as the savings were enormous , on a recent course I did , we covered the dakin air conditioning units ,they have a new gas called R32 and that combined with their internal inverters produce savings of 70% on energy bills in comparison with the old units 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
