Best 5-Star Refrigerators in India for Superior Electricity Cost Savings
Many people don’t consider the power costs when buying a new refrigerator in India, but we think that’s not a wise thing to do. This is especially because something like a 2-star refrigerator can cost a lot more in terms of the power costs than an energy efficient 5-star model over the long term.
So with that said, let us walk you through the 3 best 5-star refrigerators in India.
Whirlpool 230 ICEMAGIC PRO PRM 5S INV 215 L
This is a classy single door fridge suitable for a family of three to four members. The cooling is sufficient and it comes with an Intellisense inverter technology that ensures compressor reliability for 25 years.
Coming to the toughened glass shelves, they allow you to store large, heavy utensils with ease. Also, the transparent veggie box at the bottom controls the level of moisture with the help of microblock technology to keep the fruits and vegetables fresh for prolonged duration.
Further, in order to preserve the freshness and nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables, the crisper has a moisture latch that can be opened to allow the moisture to escape and maintain an optimum moisture level.
The magic chiller not only chills the bottles faster but also helps in preserving milk for up to 12 hours in case of a power cut. Furthermore, the fridge can automatically connect to the home inverter in case of power outage and maintain long-lasting freshness.
The removable gasket is made from anti-bacterial material to prevent the entry of bacteria and fungi.
Available in a sapphire flume colour, the fridge has a crescent door design, a fluid end cap and a sturdy breathe arc handle that helps ensure both flexibility and durability in the overall design.
And this is all with superior savings on your electricity bills. What else can you ask for?
