In this post, I thought of doing a listing of the top one door fridge available online in Malaysia. Why would we need a small fridge with only 1 door? Most of the time, we'll see this type of mini fridge available in hotel rooms. Usually, the hotel will use it to chill complementary or alcoholic drinks. A small 1 door fridge is useful especially if you have a small kitchen or you are renting a room in an apartment or condominium. My research As usually, when doing my market research, I will head to Lazada Malaysia. The reason I use Lazada because they are the largest online market place in Malaysia and they have useful buyers data I can use for my research. My recommendation is based on customers' reviews and also the number of feedback on a particular product page. I will select the fridge brand and model that has the highest number of reviews. This means, the unit is selling well on Lazada and buyers would spend the time to give their input after making their purchase. In essence, this is social recommendation. While doing my research, I came across multiple branded refrigerators from Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp and also lower end brand such as Hisense. Nonetheless, I will only list down the fridge model and price of the unit with the highest recommendation and feedback. I will also focus only on the fridge with minimum capacity of 100 L. My recommendation 1) Hisense RR155D5AGN First on my list is the Hisense RR155D5AGN 1 door fridge. As when I am writing this post (February 2018), the RR155D5AGN has the highest number of user review and feedback on Lazada Malaysia. There were a total 433 reviews [...]

If you are planning to buy a Russell Taylors bread maker in Malaysia, the following are some of the things you need to know in order to manage your expectation on the product. In this post, I won't be doing a review on the bread maker and neither will I list out all the features of the unit. You can find those information easily by doing a Google Search. The current model in Malaysia is the large bread maker 2.0LB BM-10. I thought of sharing the information I've found after reading the comments by buyers on the bread maker on Lazada Malaysia. The following are 4 points you need to know before you make a purchase. 1) No local store Firstly, as I am writing this post, as far I know, there are no Russell Taylors shops in Malaysia.

So, don't go out to find their store in the market. 2) Delivery charge not included The Russel Taylor bread maker listing price on Lazada Malaysia is RM188.00 (They might increase the selling price in the future). When you place an order, remember, there will be an additional RM8.50 delivery charge within Peninsular Malaysia. 3) No warranty card included When you receive your order, you won't find a warranty card in the box. Don't worry, the product has a 1 year local manufacturer warranty. Just send an email to support@russelltaylors.com if you have any issue with the unit.
