Best Double door Refrigerators in India

Naturally, you have to do your homework right before buying the best Refrigerator of your choice. There are hundreds of fridge brands available in the market. Frankly speaking, these brands can confuse you a lot with their tall claims. You need a simple guide to help you narrow down your choices. This article provides the right answers thereby enabling you to make a simple but informed choice. Being a long term investment, we recommend considering 3 key points – Type, Capacity, and power consumption while purchasing a refrigerator.

Type and Capacity : Single door, double door, side-by-side door and triple door are some of the different types of refrigerators. Capacity represents how much storage space is present in the fridge.

Power Consumption : Usually, single door refrigerators consume 30% less power than other types. Power consumption also varies based on the energy efficiency of the refrigerator. It is usually represented in the form of BEE star rating. Higher the rating, lesser the power consumption.

Note: Few refrigerators come with in-built stabilizers. But if you live in a locality where power cuts and high voltage issues regularly, it is better to install voltage stabilizer to protect your refrigerator.
