turtletrader 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Thought I’d just share something I did – currently on a search for a refrigerator so just to build an initial shortlist I pulled out some data from the NEA website, specifically focusing on 3 or 4 tick models. I went further to omit the continental brands (Miele, Electrolux, F&P, etc.), limiting my shortlist to the Asian brands (Mitsubishi, Toshiba, etc.). Subsequent to that, I went one step further to find the ratio of the volume of the fridge to the estimated energy cost per year - ideally we’d want a large fridge with a small operating cost so a large number for this ratio is desirable - in the last column. (The larger the better, or more efficient). This list is just a very simplistic approach - to a first degree, using energy efficiency to arrive at a preliminary shortlist. So here’s my list – I’m gunning for either the Toshiba or Panasonic. Would appreciate comments that any would have on the shortlisted models. Price-wise, Toshiba seems the most attractive. Aesthetically, pretty decent too. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac154/t...ader/fridge.jpg Cheers. Edited January 12, 2010 by turtletrader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
