blackcar 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) thanks for the reply, i prefer the non ang mo brand. Long long time ago, Sharp has this model, can open the door either from left or right. Hard to find one now!!! Also, i noticed that the smaller fridge ice box area doesnt comes with light, i wonder why. If anyone knows where to get one that open from the left, pls shout out ya!!! thanks Edited May 18, 2009 by blackcar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timer 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 I'm also initially looking for left open cuz space contraint, now instead look for a french opening fridge. 4 door can open both side so door is shorter and not like side by side fridge with a center divider, still top and bottom. looking at Hitachi R-W690AM. unfortunately only few brand carry this type of fridge.

Cyberkinetic 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Hi, just to clarify, you are looking for a fridge with the door hinge on the left, meaning the door handle is on the right. Door opens swinging from right to left? I was hunting for quite a while until I found one from LG, exclusive model at Harvey Norman. Got it at the branch at Funan Centre. Suggest you make a trip to this branch as I went to the one at Novena and found the same model, but the sales staff over there told me I have to pay $150 to change the hinge. Anyway, I got it at Funan Branch and they have indicated it's FOC and will get it changed before delivering. It's a 2 door, tall and slim type. European models like F&P have models which can open both sides as well, but it's way too costly for us and also comes with a lengthy waiting period. So it was a no-brainer to get the LG. Check it out. Rgds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
