Is not Godrej is an outdated brand? I mean I have not seen anyone purchasing Godrej refrigerator since long time. Should I go for Godrej or choose some new brands like Whirlpool?

Please guys post your suggestions. Which brand you like most?

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ I mean I have not seen anyone in my knowledge going for Godrej.

If I choose Whirlpool, which model should I go for? There are lots of models available and its very hard to choose from them.

You dont have 2....

if u want 2 buy a product...just check its rating/review by others....
select a good model & stick 2 it..bcoz the market is so large which can easily make u in a state on dilemma....

When the budget is 20k,i'd recommend double door models, LG is a good brand, i've been using one for 2 years. I also have 6 year Whirlpool fridge, but LG has more models to choose from.

One up for LG...

I recently purchased a 310Ltr Whirlpool refrigerator.

Here is what study i had done.

Electrolux Kelvinator - Purchased by videocon - so no more a best brand.

Godrej - Its old player in india for other products and not for electronics like refrigerator or washing machine.

After my survey in Vijay Sales, Croma & few other reputed dealers in my area i figured out that LG, Samsung & Whirlpool are 3 good brands to go for.

I personally liked Samsung for their technology & smart space usage, more over they have 2 very attractive color available which i loved most and had decided to buy samsung only.

Unfortunately the space we had available was 33 inches wide and samsung 310 ltr required minimum 35 inch wide space so that door can open completely and then vegetable basket can come out.

Hence we thought of opting for LG & whirlpool, and figured out that whirlpool has good level of customization available and with 3 shelves it gives more storage space if one has medium or small sized vessels to keep in it. And the thing we liked was that only opening door slightly more than 90 degree to refrigerator, we were able to take out vegetable basket. Also we got several bowls and bottles and small air tight jars with it as complementary.

Sad thing is that it comes only in 1 color, but that is ok, quality is good.

My colleague recently purchased 200ltr whirlpool with battery backup of 3 hours built into the refrigerator itself

I would suggest you to check out www.compareindia.com & visit nearest store to check out samsung and whirlpool models..

Am abt to purchase a refrigerator too. Here are a few points to note

1. Godrej is a very gud brand. We are using Godrej. But it is NOT producing stuff now- so beware of the clearance sales and all.

2. Whirlpool, LG and Samsung are very good models.

3. We are about to finalise LG. The LG 281 SM4 model seems a very good buy.

[prasad_den]

LG is an excellent brand.. Godrej is not far behind though..! But whatever brand and model you buy, keep the energy efficiency rating in mind. A 5 star rating is the best.. It consumes less electricity.. Also opt for a double-door frost free model for the same reason..

Reg EE rating, check the following website.. It has all the required info.. It also has the BEE ratings for most models of refrigerators of different brands..

A reminder, the OP is just asking for a model number of a good whirlpool refrigerator.

Just a suggestion, don't rely much on salesman's preferences. They are influenced by commissions, incentives and what not. Rely on your friends.

Just to mention my experience, the other day I went for an entry level laptop. I entered a well known shop here and told him my requirements, esp about the tight budget. he showed me a laptop priced at 31K. I explored more options with him and then he showed my another laptop for 29K with very similar config as the 31K. I was so much annoyed that I told him 'Will come next time'. This shows that these guyz don't bother enough for you often. When he knew my requirements in detailed manner, why did he show me the 31K first rather than 29K? Not that I can't get the 31K one, but I feel as if he is after my money rather than finiding me the best deal as per my requirement.

Bottom line: Sales people can sell you any ****. Be smart and don't leave your decisions to these guyz. If you don't know, ask to people who have nothing to gain or lose from it.

dont buy the slim and long types.. buy one which is broad and has 3-4 racks. i would also suggest buying one which has the freezer below the fridge. so you wouldnt have to bend often.

[Vishal Gupta]

So now 2 options are available: Whirlpool and LG. More confusing...

[esumitkumar]

^^ ur buying in Mumbai or aligarh ?

if Aligarh then go to railway road and see all the models and discounts shopkeepers are giving..also be sure to buy near diwali as lots of discounts going then..

regd LG and whirlpool konfusion..take a look at both their models..go to their web sites..keep an eye on TOI ads ....research smthing in mouthshut.com and then decide

+1 for Whirlpool ... I have Deluxe 32 Model.
