Product overview
Direct-cool single door refrigerators remain the most economical option for small households, both to buy and to run. This Godrej unit draws roughly 105 kWh a year — around half a comparable frost-free double door model — because direct cooling has no defrost heater or circulation fan. The trade-off is manual defrosting every few weeks, and less even temperature distribution than a frost-free design.
Key capabilities
- 180 litre capacity, single door direct cool
- 5 star BEE rating at about 105 kWh/yr
- Runs on home inverter supply
- Toughened glass shelves

Happy with it, but go in informed
5 star rating, roughly 105 kWh annual consumption. The one thing to know before ordering: Requires manual defrosting every few weeks. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone unwilling to defrost manually, or households needing more than about 200 litres. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Bought it on the numbers, and the numbers were right
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Capacity". The page says 180 litres, and that is what turned up. 5 star rating, roughly 105 kWh annual consumption.
