Power and Looks
Prefer energy efficient ones, star-rated are available in
the market. Look for 3-star or above rating even if it costs little more. Also Auto-defrost
uses around 23% more energy.
Various designs, colors and Metal coated refrigerators are
available. I prefer average looks since a little increase in the looks would
cost much higher price.
Warranty, service and stability
Most of the companies available provide similar period of warranties
so this would does not matter much. Look for old companies which have a good
base.
Choose the one which has a proven for long run.
Dual door (Frost free) Vs Single door*
Dual door uses around 23% more power than single door so if
you are concerned with heavy electricity bills then please think again.
No company in the market has Single door with auto-defrost
facility (at least when I bought). Auto-defrost prevent ice forming on food,
bad smell, non-sticking etc...
Dual door occupies more volume and weight so people living
in rented houses should consider this.
Choosing Brand
Go for the one which has good history. I am currently using godrej eon
from past 18 Months and am very happy with it. Below is my preference,
Godrej (eon)
LG
