2. Single or Two Door....

3. Cubic Size.....

4. Brands......

5. Efficiency Rating for Power consumption....

Budget is around 20k....

I don't know if it would fit your budget but I would suggest an inverter refrigerator with at least 2-doors. Definitely no frost. If you can wait, I know the appliance shops have an inventory sale in the 1st quarter of the year to get rid of old stock.

Inverter po para tipid sa electricity bill, kung mapapansin mo ung mga inverter ang mataas ang efficiency rating

Digital Inverter Compressor - This is what Samsung posts in their site:

"Unlike conventional compressors, which have just two patterns of start and stop, Samsung’s Digital Inverter Compressor makes 5 different moving cycle based on humidity levels and usage patterns. This helps maintain a more consistent temperature, reduces wear and tear on the compressor for greater durability, and keeps noise to a minimum. You’ll also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with lower electric bills and a 10-year warranty."

Sirs, is this the Inverter you are referring to?

madaming brand po meron ng inverter, select po ung model na best suited to your needs.

wag ka po magpapadala sa laki ng discount sa mga old type na ref (ung compressor)

ung iba nga hindi na nilalagyan ng energy rating kasi ang laki ng difference compared sa inverter.

+1 Get an inverter ref. The premium on the price will be worth the cost savings in your electricity bill. Panasonic is a good brand.

1. No frost
2. Two door (saves energy as you only open the compartment you need to access)
3. Cubic size? Depends on your needs, what you intend to put inside, how often do you stock up on meats, etc.
4. I'd consider Panasonic, Condura/Kelvinator, GE, and perhaps, Samsung. First choice is Panasonic.
5. Go for the one with higher energy efficiency rating; if you can afford it, put out extra PPP for the Inverter type units as these are the trend and are said to have lower electricity consumption.
