Buying Guide-How to choose the best refrigerator.

 

1.    Decide a budget, first of all, make sure that you are clear about the budget that how you want to spend on a refrigerator.

 

2.     Always keep the user in mind before buying a refrigerator, for ex: if you have 3-4 people in the family then you can go for 250L which will give you enough storage to keep the required stuff.

 

3.    If you need a refrigerator for a couple of people then you should go for 190L to 210L which would enough for 2 people, for a family of 5 or more, you can go for 350L and above.

 

4.    Choose the rating wisely if you want to spend less on monthly electricity bills then go for a higher BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) rating.

 

5.    Refrigerators with more ratings will consume less electricity hence a lower electricity bill, similarly, refrigerators with less rating will consume more electricity hence the bill will be higher.

 

 

6.    2-3 -star rating doesn’t mean that it will consume too much energy however it just that it will consume more energy than 4-5 -star.

 

 

7.    Once consider all the above points then decide what will be the usage like if you a meat lover then buy a fridge with a freezer compartment at the top because it will be used more frequent however, if you do not have much use of the freezer then look for a refrigerator that provides you the freezer compartment at the bottom.  

 

8.    If you are vegetarian then make sure that you buy a fridge with a big vegetable basket in it, which will give you more storage to keep more veggies.

 

9.    Now will look for the required space, if you have enough space to set up the refrigerator buy the appropriate size accordingly.

 

10. Which refrigerator should we buy a single door or double well it’s all about the usage and how many people will use it for as I have mentioned above if you have a small family of 3-4 then you can get 190L to 210L approx. which comes with a single door usually and if you have a bigger family then you can go for more liter and it will give you the option to choose the fridge from the double door category too.
