Buckle up for my fridge-buying adventure, complete with a surprise ending and a nod to my son's newfound love for the Samsung Family Hub.

SENHENG WP PUTRAJAYA REVIEW : Will Not Purchase Anything Here Ever Again..

It all started in 2023 when I decided to upgrade my fridge and been eye-in on the LG Instaview 595L fridge like I mentioned in previous post : HERE.

I splurged on an LG InstaView 595L for RM5000++, marking it as my priciest kitchen gadget ever, and paid upfront—no installments. Expecting a swift, same-weekend delivery as promised, I was dismayed when SENHENG WP Putrajaya informed me that their weekend schedule was "full" right after I’d already committed (payment made). We rescheduled for a weekday, but then they bailed, claiming they couldn't find a lorry or driver. (Isn’t SENHENG supposed to have their own fleet?) After settling on another date, I was greeted with yet another letdown: the item arrived defective. 

I took to Google Reviews to share my frustration too.

When the LG InstaView finally arrived, it came with a surprise of its own—dents on the exterior. I suspect these dents might have been due to mishandling during delivery, but without concrete evidence, it's all speculation. We rejected the delivery on the spot, imagining it could be a start to a horrible episodes of fridge drama. 

Refund Follies: The Waiting Game

Next came the wait for a refund, which is slowly processed and settled about 3months. We were resolute: no new fridge until the old one’s ghost was officially exorcised from our financials. And as for SENHENG? Let’s just say we won't return/banned this store for now..

With the refund in hand, I set out on a new fridge hunt. The LG InstaView 458L was probably discontinued, and I was left considering its ginormous cousin, the 671L model.

During the Year-End Sale 2023, I hit a snag. Despite my best efforts, LG just didn’t wow me. But my son was totally enchanted by the SAMSUNG Family Hub, especially its doodle feature—pure magic for a six-year-old.

The Happy Ending: the Samsung Family Hub

Finally in 2024, I made the decision to purchase the SAMSUNG Family Hub. With a capacity of 661 liters, it is notably larger than I had initially anticipated; however, sometimes it is necessary to opt for a more substantial choice. The additional space has proven to be a pleasant surprise and has greatly enhanced my experience. The voice assistant, Bixby, has quickly become an invaluable aid in the kitchen, assisting with tasks such as playing music and setting timers. Furthermore, my son has enjoyed utilizing the fridge’s screen for his creative doodles.

So, my search for the perfect fridge had its ups and downs, but ended well. If you’re shopping for a new fridge, know that it might take a bit of time and patience, but you might just find the perfect one for your kitchen.

So here’s to the SAMSUNG Family Hub—my fridge, probably the only kitchen assistant I approved (probably the same price as Thermomix, but I hate Thermomix haha -such a disgrace to those who cook well).
