Double Door Refrigerators Buying Guide –
1. Technical Aspects- All refrigerators work on three technical aspects- compression, condensation, and evaporation. For Rs 30,000- Rs 35,000 refrigerators, these aspects work best in the top-mount freezer. Bottom-mount freezer refrigerators consume more electricity. You can buy a bottom mount refrigerator too but be prepared for a bit more electricity consumption. 2. Insulation- There is 6%-7% insulation of total refrigerator capacity. Cheap double-door refrigerators have poor insulation, which causes issues in the future and sometimes may even cause permanent damage. You should avoid them. 3. Fridge to Freezer Ratio- The fridge-to-freezer ratio in this segment is 75:25, which is ideal for convertible refrigerators. Some brands claim huge space as they reduce the freezer space. The freezer can be converted into a fridge in a convertible refrigerator. Why go for less freezer capacity? Make sure you check net capacity before you buy a refrigerator. 4. Star-rating Between Rs 30,000- Rs 35,000, you get two or 3-star models. 90% of people would want to buy 3-star refrigerators. The difference between the power consumption of a 2-star and a 3-star is 50 units per year only, which is Rs 400. The difference in their costs is Rs 4,000- Rs 5,000. 5. Stabilizer- Almost all refrigerators promise stabilizer-free operation, but we always recommend using a stabilizer as even a bit of voltage fluctuation will destroy the PCB. Use a good stabilizer. 6. Customer Care Services- We called the customer care numbers of all recommended refrigerators. We called from different locations and told different problems. On the basis of their replies, we have given our feedback on their service with every model. 7. Extended Warranty- An extended warranty is a must. We recommend Go Warranty. Buy it from anywhere you want but do protect your refrigerator from day one. “Rather than fancy technologies, focus on pros and cons. Even a shopkeeper won’t tell you about these pros and cons.” |
