Early last week, I found out that our almost eight year old GE refrigerator was not cooling well. I called for service and learned that the compressor was the culprit... sigh!
Panasonic Silveo Series Inverter 19.0 cu. ft. NR-BY 551 SRP: PhP54, 999
Panasonic claims that "It's the only bottom type refrigerator with Inverter Technology in the Philippines".
DH and I searched for replacement over the weekend and narrowed down our choices to two brands- SAMSUNG and PANASONIC. I really like Samsung's style & design- 18.0 cu. ft. French door with bottom freezer plus door "alarm"- when it's not properly closed BUT it's out of stock... gaaaah!
We settled for Panasonic Inverter refrigerator instead because it has eco features like high energy efficiency factor (EEF) and that it has almost no effect on global warming. This unit uses totally NON-FLON materials both for refrigerant (Iso- butane) and for insulation (Cyclo- Pentane) so it doesn't damage the earth's ozone layer.
