Best Double Door Refrigerator Under 30000 in 2024
Do you know which budget refrigerators sell the most in India? Under ₹30,000. Yes, because if your budget is under ₹25,000, then I will recommend you to increase your budget a little and come up to ₹30,000. Because in it you will not only get a very good capacity compared to the ₹25,000 refrigerator, but you will also get better features. And I will solve this problem for you today because you might be wondering which one to buy? Which refrigerator should I buy for ₹30,000? I will tell you.
I have bought all the refrigerators under ₹30,000. I compared them in my studio, office, and model house. And after that, I am showing you this comparison so that when you buy a fridge, you buy the best refrigerator. And that is what I am going to show you. Don't worry if your budget is only ₹25,000; then I have already made a comparison video of it and here it is. You should definitely watch this. And in it, I have also told you some important points which are very important to know for a ₹25,000 refrigerator before you buy it. Listen to them very carefully.
But for a ₹30,000 refrigerator, which points are there? Their points are also different. Because you have to know two points. First of all, so that you buy the right refrigerator which is best for your needs. Listen to these points.
When you buy a refrigerator, you may feel that between the ₹25,000 and ₹30,000 there should be a difference in refrigerator models. And if you are giving ₹5,000 extra, then it should be worth it. What do brands do for this? They try to give you the best features for this. And in that, you get a good capacity, but then you also get a 2-star rating instead of a 3-star rating. What difference does it make? I will explain this to you.
When you see a 2-star rating on the star label, you will be demoralized already. You will say, no, we'll not buy this. Show us a 3, 4, or 5-star rating model. But in that, your refrigerator prices can also increase by ₹4,000 or ₹5,000. Is it wise to spend that? Absolutely not. Because in the power consumption of a 2-star and 3-star refrigerator, the difference will be 40-50 units in a whole year. Multiply the cost of 50 units by 7 or 8. You now understand how much electricity bill you will spend if you buy a 2-star refrigerator instead of a 3-star one. You have to spend money in the right place and on the right refrigerator. I have done the same for you, so I will show you in this video.
Now if you are going to buy a new refrigerator and spending so much money, you will feel like you should get as many features as possible. So one of those features is convertible. You will feel like buying a convertible refrigerator. You may get far better features. But you never think that you will ever use a convertible refrigerator. Will any day come like this in the whole year that you have to shut off your freezer completely? Think for yourself. You have a refrigerator at home. Have you ever thought of that? And suppose your answer is, "Yes, we use the freezer in summer, but not in winter." Do you use your fridge so much in winter that you have to make your freezer a fridge? Do you need so much fridge space? If the answer is no, you don't need a convertible refrigerator. And even if you don't buy it, you won't make any mistakes. Please do not take it to your heart whether you have a convertible refrigerator or not. If you don't need it, it won't make any difference.
Now if you go to a shop or check on Amazon or Flipkart, no one will tell you about this. So why am I telling you? Do I have a hobby? Yes, I do. Because electronics is my passion. But I want you to buy a good product. But why do I want to? What's my gain in this? There's a gain for me hidden in it that I want to tell you clearly. I buy all the products myself. After buying them, I test them in my own studio, office, and model house which we have been taking on rent for the past one year to test different products. No one else does this work in the world, but I do it so that I can tell you which product is the best for you to buy. At the cost of your money. And to do this work, I get encouragement from you.

In this article, I will tell you about 4 models but I will give them 3 ranks, which means only the top 3. Out of these 4, but I will tell you about its features, its practical advantages and disadvantages so that you decide for yourself whether this refrigerator model is right for you or not.
Whirlpool 270L
I am talking about the 270L model of Whirlpool, which is a triple-door refrigerator and it is also called the refrigerator of the Proton series. This is a very famous and very popular model and according to Whirlpool, its electricity consumption is lesser than a CFL's electricity consumption. In this model, you won't get any star rating. And do you know the reason for that? In triple-door refrigerators, BEE, the company or agency that provides star ratings to electronic appliances, doesn't give any compulsion on whether you should get a star rating or not. That's why Whirlpool didn't get a star rating for this.
But there is something else about this. I'll tell you more about it later. This is the triple-door refrigerator of the Proton series, where you'll get to see IntelliSense Inverter technology and toughened glass shelves. Made by Whirlpool, Zeolite technology and Microblock technology work well together. And in all three doors, you will get different features. Meaning, you will get a freezer at the top. In the middle, you will get a fridge section. In which you can store important things of the fridge and other water bottles on the door shelves. And thirdly, at the very bottom, 32L large vegetable crisper means you will get a vegetable box. 32L is a very large vegetable crisper capacity.
You
can store a lot of vegetables in it. Now you have to decide if you are a
vegetarian family and you have to buy a lot of vegetables together and store
them in your refrigerator, then it is one of the best models. But there is one
more thing that attracts everyone to this particular model. That is its power
consumption. According to the claim of Whirlpool, this refrigerator takes less
electricity than a CFL bulb. But what is the catch? The catch is a 60-watt CFL
bulb. If we try to translate this into a star rating, then how much star rating
refrigerator will it be? Approximately between 2 and 1 star. That's why
Whirlpool doesn't apply its star rating. Now, I am not 100% sure. This can be a
mistake in the calculation. But I am very sure that this can never be a 5-star.
Overall, there is no problem with this refrigerator. And you get all the
shelves in toughened glass, which is a very good thing. And Whirlpool also
gives you a good warranty: 1-year comprehensive and 10-year warranty on the
inverter compressor that you get in this refrigerator. You can buy this model
for around ₹29,000 and this is a very good model for those who want to buy a
triple-door refrigerator. This is actually a best-selling model on Amazon and
it is a very good model also. I don't discourage it from anywhere because if
your parents are old and don't want to bend too much, then a triple-door
refrigerator is a very convenient feature. Like bottom-mount refrigerators can
also be convenient, similarly, a triple door can be a convenient refrigerator.
But
on the downside, the only thing I didn't like about it is in its vegetable
crisper: the size is very good, but you get a plastic tray inside it. That is
not of the best quality. I mean, I feel that the plastic will break at some
point. And if it breaks, then to replace it, you may have to spend ₹1,500 to
₹2,000. However, if you put it very carefully and handle it easily, then it
will be fine for many years. You have to think whether you need such a big veg
crisper. You have to buy a triple-door refrigerator or not. Whether your budget
is ₹29,000 or not. All these things are your decision. I have only given you my
links in the description box and in the VM-One Refrigerator list. And you are
waiting here. Go at least check it.
LG's 214L
Now
let's come to the No. 2 position, which is tied and there are two
refrigerators. First is LG's 272L 3-star 2024 model refrigerator, which is very
good and in this, you get to see a fridge of 214L and a freezer of 58L. Again,
this is a perfect combination of fridge and freezer, and this refrigerator
comes with a smart inverter compressor and it is a convertible refrigerator
also. Now again I am saying, it is completely up to you. Whether you need a
convertible model or not, you have to see this. But if you are getting a
convertible option in a good refrigerator, even if you don't use it, then also
it's fine. In this model, you will get to see multi-air flow. Unfortunately,
this particular model misses out on LG's patented door-cooling technology, but
other features are good in this. Like, you will get tempered glass on all the
shelves. You will also get a lower door shelf in front of the veg crisper,
which is a good thing. And you will also get all the other features that you
will get in any other refrigerator. For example, this is an inverter-compatible
refrigerator. You will get its back completely clean. It also has a feature
called smart diagnosis and it comes with a stabilizer-free operation. Now, all
the refrigerators come with a stabilizer-free operation. And no brand claims
that you need a stabilizer. But as soon as a person comes for the installation
of any brand, he will definitely recommend you apply a stabilizer. And you will
buy a stabilizer from him. I recommend you buy it yourself and save your money.
I have recommended a very reasonable cost stabilizer in the description box.
Check it out.
Overall,
we liked using this refrigerator. We didn't face any problems with it. But
honestly, we didn't use the convertible feature even once, because we never
needed it. But this doesn't mean that the convertible options are bad. You will
get the LG convertible option inside the fridge. There is no display outside or
no digital inverter display. There is nothing wrong with this. Whether it is
inside or outside, you are getting a convertible option. LG gives you a
one-year comprehensive and a 10-year warranty on the inverter compressor which
you get in this refrigerator. This model will cost you around ₹30,000. These
prices can change, so I have given their links in the description box and in
the VM-One Refrigerator list. You must download it and check it out.
But
first, let me tell you its pros and cons. This is a very good refrigerator as I
told you. And I only felt one thing missing in this: it doesn't have LG's
patented feature of Door Cooling. I mean LG has become a miser here. That you
don't have to give door cooling here, save some money. What will happen by
saving money? Give all the features so that all buyers and all consumers enjoy.
But nevertheless, I didn't feel any lack of cooling in this. This model is very
good and it is a spacious model. Most importantly, this is a convertible model
which is around ₹30,000. Which is a very good thing. 272L is not a small amount
of capacity. I have given you its links in the description box and in the
VM-One Refrigerator list. Go and check it out.
Samsung's 256L
The
second refrigerator coming in the position of No. 2 will surprise you a little.
This model is very good, but when you compare it with other models, you will
say that how Samsung's 256L 3-star model matches with the other 270L models?
You are seeing the difference of only 14L. Samsung has discontinued its 275L
model after immense thought. However, it still continues with its 256L model.
They must have thought of something; it's such a big brand. And I will tell you
what they have thought in this video. It is, however, a very good model and in
this, you get to see a 203L fridge and a 53L freezer, and this model comes with
digital inverter technology in which you will get to see Twin Cooling Plus
technology with convertible 3 in 1 options. What is Twin Cooling Plus? What is
this? Actually, the compressor is the same in this refrigerator, but the
condenser coils are distributed in two different ways. One for the fridge, one
for the freezer, because this is a convertible model. And if you want to
completely close the freezer, or if you want to completely close the fridge,
you can easily do that. And the entire condenser will not work; only the same
portion of the condenser will work, which is on. And that is a very smart
thinking by Samsung.
On
the freezer door of this model, you will get to see the digital touch control,
through which you can convert all the refrigerators, meaning you will get the
convertible option in that only. All the shelves will come with toughened
glass, double-twist the ice tray, and all the other important features, like
this model is compatible with both inverter and solar, which means it will work
with an inverter and also with a solar inverter. But now you won't get a safe
clean back, which was available in previous models but not anymore. Why Samsung
didn't give a safe clean back? I will tell you the reason later, but I can tell
you that this model is very good during practical usage. Let me tell you the
truth once again that I have not used the convertible option even once in this
model because I never needed it. This is a practical thing. When we are testing
it in summer, we need the freezer. And when we test in winter, we don't need
the fridge that much to convert the freezer portion into the fridge. That is
why convertible options are not suitable for me, but for those who have, they
love this option.
All
in all, I can say that this is a fantastic refrigerator and you should
definitely buy it if you are looking for a good Samsung refrigerator model.
Samsung now gives you a one-year comprehensive and a 20-year warranty on the
digital inverter compressor that you get in this refrigerator. According to
Samsung, the life of a compressor in their refrigerator is 21 years, and they
give you a warranty for 20 years. Now how long does it last? We will know that
only after 20 years. But if you want to buy it today, it will cost you around
₹29,500. At this time, these prices keep going up and down. I have given you
the links in the description box and in the VM-One Refrigerator list. Go and
check them out.
But
after listening to my pros and cons, this refrigerator is very good but let me
tell you one con first: that the safe clean back it doesn't have is a con also
not. And that is because we don't like it. We used to get it before, but now we
are not getting it. What is the problem? Why did you give this net behind? But
there is a particular reason for giving this net. Now you are getting a
convertible option in which you get Dual Cooling, you know, Twin Cooling Plus
technology. For that, this is very important. You will get different condensers
which will do different work. Their functioning is a little different. That is
the reason why Samsung has put it on the outside. And I don't think it is bad.
But yes, this is a con for some people. That's why I included it in the con.
One small thing that
Sure!
Godrej 272L
This
time Godrej has really done it. They have shown such a refrigerator with such
looks. We got bored with all the refrigerators that I buy and check for
reviews. All the steel, grey, and light grey are all similar colors. But the
refrigerator that matches the interior, which is actually very pleasing to the
eye, we found this in Godrej. The capacity is very good. You get a 222L fridge,
a 50L freezer, and the biggest thing that comes to your mind is that this is a
2-star model; I wish it was a 3-star. I have already told you this difference
before; I will tell you again. This model will use approximately 271 units of
electricity in a year. The Samsung and LG models that I told you about earlier
use approximately 231 units of electricity in a year. What's the difference?
Only 40 units. And those 40 units, you can translate; how much did they convert
into? With this little money, if you buy a 3-star model, it will be very
expensive. That is why I don't care if it's a 2-star or 3-star refrigerator.
I only care about the features. And this model
has excellent features according to me. As I told you, it has a very good wood
finish. And it is a matte finish; it is not glossy, which is very premium. It's
available in two colors, but I liked this finish, so I chose this one. In this
model, you get to see advanced inverter technology. Godrej has used two very
great technologies in this refrigerator. The first of which is Cool Shower
technology. And this is their patented technology. Generally, what happens in
the fridge in our homes? When we keep all the stuff in the fridge, then two
layers are formed on the shelves. Some stuff is at the back, and the other is
at the front. The back stuff cools down very quickly, but not the front one. And
what is the reason for that? The air vents in all the refrigerators, the cold
air that is coming from there, is at the back. You put all the utensils, bowls,
and containers of milk in front of it. And then the cold air is blocked. It
comes forward but less.
Godrej
solved this with a patented technology. They made a cool shower technology and
patented it. What is that? It's cool air from the top shelf that you are seeing
goes to all the shelves. There are 8 vents in it. And when the air comes out of
the 8 vents, there is an equal distribution of cold air all around. And you get
a kind of 360° cooling in the refrigerator. That is, in the fridge. And that is
why it is a fantastic technology. Another technology that appealed to me a lot
and that I found very amazing is the Nano Shield technology. Its patent is also
applied by Godrej. Now, those who buy vegetables from vegetable vendors: how
many hands have touched that vegetable? Right from the farmer till your hands.
At least 100 hands touch that vegetable. And those 100 hands can also be
infected. And we have seen this in the last few years how the infection is
transferred. The solution to this is Nano Shield technology, whose patent
Godrej has applied for. This is a nano-coating on the air vents. When the cold air
comes from it, it brings nanoparticles together. And when it passes over the
food, it slowly starts to sterilize the food.
And
this whole sterilization process ends in about 24 hours. This is a wonderful
technology, and as soon as they get its patent, no one in the world can use it
except Godrej. And it is a remarkable thing that someone thought about our
well-being. There is a brand that knows how important it is to prevent
infection from spreading. That is why I loved this technology. Apart from this,
you will also get cool balance and moisture control technology in the Godrej
refrigerator. As you can see, you get a honeycomb grill on the veg crisper,
which is a very large size, i.e., 27L, and that honeycomb grill will hold
moisture for a very long time, which is a good thing for fresh vegetables,
because of which Godrej claims 30-day farm-fresh vegetables. I haven't tested
it for 30 days, but all I can say is that moisture is maintained in the
vegetables every time. Whenever I took them out or my team took them out and
used it, and that is a good thing. In this model of Godrej, you will get
toughened glass shelves. This is an inverter-compatible model, and in this, the
back is also very safe and clean, which is very good. Overall, our experience
with this refrigerator was extremely amazing, and the reason for that is its
amazing build quality and its looks. I won't say anything wrong; I am really
attracted to the looks of this refrigerator. Actually, this is not a boring
design. This is not a boring gray; this is not a boring steel. And we were
frustrated about all the colors of the refrigerators that came in, whether they
are of any brand. In fact, many of Godrej's refrigerators come in this color.
So, this was a new finish that matched my interiors a lot. And it appealed to
me a lot when I saw this. But in functionality, this is a very, very good
refrigerator. I didn't have any problem. I felt a small flaw, which I will tell
you later in this video. Godrej gives you a one-year comprehensive warranty, and
you will get a 10-year warranty on the inverter compressor which is installed
in this refrigerator. This refrigerator costs approximately ₹30,500. I have
given you the links in the description box and in the VM-One Refrigerator list.
Now let me tell you its con first. The veg crisper is very big, 27 liters.
It is very good for vegetarian families. And for non-vegetarian families also, you have got adequate freezer space. So it is very good in both ways. But there is a small drawback. The bottle rack that you could have found in front of the Veg Crisper, the small bottles that are there, you know, the small canes or bottles, that are missing. To give such a big vegetable box, that shelf has been missed. This is not a deal-breaker because there are no water bottles on that shelf. If there were no water bottle rack, then I would have called it a deal-breaker, but this is not a deal breaker.
If I got a small shelf, it would have been great. If there is none, then I don't have much pain, but overall I can say that it has very good features. Nano Shield technology and Cool Shower Technology, these two technologies are the highlights for me. No, there is another highlight. Actually, there are three highlights. First is the looks; it is very beautiful. Because if such beautiful looks match your interior, you can see the other finishes as well. I will give you both the links in the description box and in the VM-One Refrigerator list because both the finishes are very good. And which finish matches your interior that you can decide. ₹30,500 is the price. What are you waiting for? You're still here? Go check it out in the description box. As I told you, this was a ₹30,000 comparison. And I bought all the models myself.
If you want a refrigerator on a ₹25,000 budget,
you should watch this video. I've made this comparison after buying all the
models myself and using them. So that you can choose the right refrigerator.
How did you like this video? Do let me know in the comments section. And if you
have any questions that you want to ask me directly, then do ask me. I will try
to answer it as soon as possible. And I will see you in my next video very
soon. But before I go, I am going to give you two video suggestions. Do watch
them as well. Till then, bye-bye.
