The Story in Brief
HT Tech reports that Amazon is offering discounts of up to 55% on refrigerators. The buying guides compare convertible fridges, which let users turn freezer space into extra fridge capacity, with regular models. They also compare single-door and double-door refrigerators. Convertible models cost more but offer flexibility for bulk shopping and seasonal needs. Single-door fridges are cheaper, compact, and suit smaller households. Double-door models provide more space and better organisation. HT Tech recommends choosing based on family size, storage habits, kitchen space, and budget.
Inverter compressors, energy efficiency, and convertible zones are key features to consider. The article notes that the cheapest fridge may not always be the most economical in the long run due to running costs. Buyers should evaluate their actual usage before paying a premium.
The Indian Opinion
Tech reviews often create a narrative that bigger, feature-packed refrigerators are always superior. For many Indian households, a simple single-door model at Rs 12,000 may serve perfectly well. The extra cost of a convertible or double-door model should be weighed against actual usage: how often do you need extra fridge space? If only during festivals, the premium of several thousand rupees may not justify itself. The real test is whether your family's frozen-to-fresh ratio changes significantly over the year.
