Elba 2-Door Refrigerator ER-G2521-SV (250L)

Overview:
Pros: Cheaper initial cost with standard features.
Cons: Only 4-Star rated, non-inverter.
Specifications - Capacity: 250L | Size: 142cm x 60cm x 55cm | Type: Top-freezer | Inverter: No | Refrigerant: R600a | Energy Rating: 4 | Power Supply: 240V.
Another choice for a budget fridge is the Elba ER-G2521-SV which carries the capacity of 250L, quite similar to the Toshiba GR-A28MS, but at about RM300 less in terms of price. So, you’ll have the same spacious fridge (as far as top-freezers go) at lesser cost, which is always great. Also like the Toshiba, you’ll have pretty much the same compartments, a slide-on fresh zone and a chill room, with 1 tray in the freezer. The cooling system is also a No Frost cooling and the trays are made of tempered glass. Now what’s the difference of this compared with the Toshiba? One thing for sure, this fridge is not as energy efficient with rating of only 4-Star and is a non-inverter. So, expect a bit more energy consumption. But it does come at a cheaper initial cost, so we’ll leave this to you to decide.

The Panasonic NR-BB211 is one slick, stylish fridge. The glossy black finish is stunning and the door handle has this curvy design that will make you think the price is higher than what it is.

Types Of Refrigerators

If you’re in the market for fridges, maybe it’s best to know what are your options just in terms of which type of fridge to get. Here are some common ones you’ll see in home appliances stores:

1. Mini Fridges

Mini fridges are small appliance usually no more than 10L in capacity and are mostly used to store drinks and small food items as well as cosmetics. Sometimes they are also called mini bars but mini bars are bigger in size (up to 60L). Read more on the best mini fridges.

Pros: Cheap. Cons: No freezer, not suitable for storing groceries.

2. Single Door Fridges

These are fridges with no freezers and hence, have only 1 door.

Pros: Cheap. Cons: No freezer, limited capability.

3. Top-Freezer Fridges

Also commonly called 2 door fridges, these fridges feature both a refrigerator and freezer, with the freezer at the top, as the name implies.

Pros:  Affordable, lots of options in terms of design, size and price. Cons: The most used compartment is at the bottom, making you bend down often.

4. Bottom-Freezer Fridges

These fridges feature a refrigerator at the top and slide-out freezer at the bottom. Less commonly called 2 door fridges than top-freezer ones since the French Door models (which feature 3 or 4 doors) are also the bottom-freezer type.

Pros: Most used compartment at eye level. No need to bend down often. Cons: Usually more expensive than top-freezers, pound for pound.

5. Side-By-Side Fridges

These are fridges with freezer on one side of the fridge and a refrigerator on the other with a door for each compartment. Also commonly called 2 door fridges.

Pros: You’d be able to store most-used food at eye level, whether in the freezer or refrigerator. Cons: Expensive.

How To Pick A 2 Door Fridge

Cost & Budget

The fridge is usually one of the most expensive purchases for our kitchen but it lasts a very long time (5-10 years). Hence, it’s important to maximize your budget for a fridge to get the best in the market. 

To help you estimate the cost, here’s an estimate for the price range for 2-door fridges in Malaysia in 2023.

  • RM800 – RM1000: Most basic type of 2 door top-freezer fridges, between 200L – 300L capacity. Usually non-inverter.
  • RM1000 – RM1500: Typically inverter type and come with added convenient features, between 200L-300L in capacity.
  • RM1500 – RM3000: Big sized fridges, inverter type, between 500-700L. Usually side-by-side type.

 

Capacity

Now that you’ve some idea on the cost, you’ll need to think about your eating habits. Consider these questions:

  • What food do you consume the most?
  • What food need ample storage?
  • How much easily-perishable food will you need to store?
  • Do you buy lots of frozen food?
  • Do you store lots of bottled drinks?

 

Most 2 door fridges come in 250-300L capacity which is sufficient for an average family of 2, according to Harvery Norman’s estimate. But again, take into account the fact that the fridge will last more than 5 years as your household size may change.

Size

Measure the space in your kitchen in which you’ll place your new fridge. Most top-drawer 2 door fridges between 200L to 300L is about 1.4m tall, 0.55m wide and 0.6m deep. Bigger capacity fridges will require more space. It’s also a good idea to leave about 50mm extra space around the fridge for ventilation.

Technology

Technology such as Frost-Free technology will prevent or minimize the appearance of unwanted frost and ice, as well as any technology that can keep your food fresh for longer. Deodorizers also help with smell.

Energy Consumption

The next factor you’ll need to consider is electricity consumption. Electricity-saving models for sizes of 200-300 liters are usually in the range of 220V or less. So if electricity is an issue for you, try to find one that is about 220V.

Besides that, energy star rating is also a useful guide to estimate efficiency. The best 2 door fridges are those with 4 to 5 star energy rating.

Fridge Energy Rating Guide

Every fridge sold in Malaysia should have an Energy Star Rating sticker between 2 to 5 stars. The measurements of this rating are slightly complicated for this article, but according to The Energy Commission of Malaysia, the star rating denotes the following:

  • 5 Stars: +25 % ≤ Star index.
  • 4 Stars: +10 % ≤ Star index < +25 %
  • 3 Stars: -10 % ≤ Star index < +10 %
  • 2 Stars: -25 % ≤ Star index < -10 %
  • 1 Star: -35 % ≤ Star index <- 25 %

 

Where Star index is determined based on daily energy consumption obtained from test conducted. Hence, 5 stars appliances are the most energy efficient and 1 star, the least.

How To Maintain Your Fridge

  1. Adjust & maintain the temperature inside your refrigerator and freezer between 2 – 4° Celcius.
  2. Clear ice buildup regularly.
  3. Wipe, scrub and clean any spill or drop as soon as possible to avoid cross contamination.
  4. Keep food in sealed containers.
  5. Do not leave fridge door open too long.
