Buying Guidelines-
| Before talking about the best refrigerators, let’s discuss some significant points: 1. A refrigerator works on 3 basic principles- Compression, Condensation & Evaporation. Almost all refrigerators in this range come with Manual Defrosting which is done by clicking a button. 2. Some refrigerators are cheaply priced as they have low-quality insulation. Buy a good quality and durable refrigerator. Poor insulation will create problems in the future. 3. The sides of refrigerators are hot as the refrigerant gives cooling after reaching the boiling point and this is absolutely normal. 4. The fridge to freezer capacity ratio is 90 (fridge): 10 (freezer). Brands try to manipulate by increasing fridge space but you must not fall for that. 5. Fun Fact- All brands describes Gross Capacity but not Net Capacity. But this article will throw light on all the aspects. 6. Mostly all refrigerators come with ‘stabilizer free function’ and thus it shouldn’t be a convincing feature for purchase. However, a stabilizer is mandatory in case of voltage fluctuation or frequent power cuts. 7. Don’t fall for the fancy terms. It is the primary function of a refrigerator to cool and that of a freezer to freeze. Stay away from these marketing terms. 8. A good extended warranty is a must. We recommend Go Warranty. |
