₹16,990

The sizing rule nobody explains at the showroom is that suction should be roughly ten times your kitchen's volume per hour -- 1200 suits a kitchen of about 20 cubic metres, and buying more than you need only adds noise.
Full details →Who the Godrej 180L 5 Star Direct Cool Single Door Refrigerator is for
Buy it if: Couples, small households and secondary-kitchen use, where low running cost matters more than frost-free convenience.
Avoid it if: Anyone unwilling to defrost manually, or households needing more than about 200 litres.
Who the Faber 60cm 1200 m3/hr Auto-Clean Chimney is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a kitchen around 20 cubic metres who can duct to an external wall.
Avoid it if: Anyone who cannot duct outside -- recirculating a chimney through a carbon filter removes very little Indian cooking smoke.
