Re: Wanted - second hand mini Fridge
When I was out shopping last week, I found the 2nd hand units were only 20-30$ cheaper than a new Electrolux unit. The Electrolux version was $130 at one of those "Panasonic, Midea, Samsung" multibrand stores.
The new unit was also an auto defrost (which is what I didn't want), but it looked pretty good for what it was. If it had been a freezer I would have bought the new one no question over a used one, my used freezer has been terrible.

If the difference is so slight I would buy a new one. As a rule of (my) thumb, domestic electrical stuff should be 30-50% of the new price with the 50% bracket reserved for very nearly new. On that basis I think a new one would be better. It is a gift for someone and I don't want to have to deal with failures and repairs and food losses...A10 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 7:45 am When I was out shopping last week, I found the 2nd hand units were only 20-30$ cheaper than a new Electrolux unit.

Thanks for the help...

A new one also looks a LOT better when giving it to someone, with it being shiny, having a warranty card, and all that plastic wrap and boxing, etc.

Just happened to be out on unexpected shopping errand today and stopped at the Sony/Panasonic store on Sihanouk road across from Lucky Supermarket.
Midea (Japanese brand) mini fridge was $120, slightly bigger different brand was $140. Only difference from the pic is that they were all silver (no white or black for some reason).

No problemo. Some people still believe that Akira products are manufactured by Sony.A10 wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 11:06 amOops, I apologize. I should have checked what the sales person told me.chkwoot wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2019 10:26 amMidea is 100% Chinese.
