Whirlpool 235L 3 Star Frost Free Double Door Refrigerator (IF INV 278)

₹24,490

A 235 litre double door refrigerator suits a family of three to four. This Whirlpool model pairs that capacity with an inverter compressor and frost-free cooling, and its 3 star rating translates to roughly 200 kWh a year — a running cost difference of only a few hundred rupees annually against a 4 star unit.

Elica

₹12,990

A 60 cm chimney fits a standard two or three burner hob. This Elica model's filterless design avoids the oil clogging that affects mesh filters under Indian cooking, and its 1200 m³/hr suction suits a typical apartment kitchen.
