Double door refrigerators are primarily meant for families that have 4 members or more. 

Because of having two separate doors, one can access the sections individually, saving a lot of energy in between. 

In this article, we are listing out the eight best double door refrigerators available in the Indian market categorized according to price as well as features. 

We hope this will make your selection process a bit less tedious.

the traditional energy-hungry models that existed in the past, which is safe to say more of a myth these days.

The type of compressor employed in this model from LG is a smart inverter type compressor which is more energy-efficient than a rotary or reciprocal type compressor. 

Since there are no noticeable moving parts inside this compressor, the operation is very silent.

Also, Solar smart technology enables this fridge to drain from a solar grid directly. The fluctuating DC from the solar grid is converted to fixed DC voltage by the built-in inverter on this fridge.

The Smart diagnosis lets you scan the refrigerator for malfunctions automatically. If any defect is detected, it will transfer the data to your phone and you can then call customer care and pinpoint the problem.

Verdict

With the 3-star BEE 2021 energy efficiency rating, this refrigerator from LG won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

How To Choose A Refrigerator: Buying Guide For Double Door Refrigerators

Double door refrigerators are definitely an upgrade over single door refrigerators.

As the price of these units is almost a couple of thousands more than the single door counterparts, you can expect to have some nifty little features as well as increased overall capacity.

Let’s discuss how you can buy the perfect double door fridge of your dreams!

1) Price

Double door refrigerators are available anywhere from Rs.12,000 and upwards. Remember that prices are just one index of what you’re going to get with the product. Never rely on the budget alone. 

As the price increases, the features, as well as the capacity, will increase. 

You must be diligent enough to find the perfect product that meets your expectations and priced within the budget in mind.

The choices are abundant. The chance of picking the wrong product is pretty high. Don’t worry. Continue reading this article to reduce that chance significantly.

2) Capacity

Double door refrigerators come in various capacities ranging from 145L to a staggering 700L. Be careful when deciding on the capacity of a double door refrigerator. 

The available floor space is a matter of concern in the average Indian houses facing a space crunch. So make sure you have the right spot and space to keep the refrigerator.

Most of the fridges with double doors are usually suited for families with three or more members and even joint families. 

Also, make sure you do have a rough estimate of what kind of food you would normally consume a lot. 

If you are a fan of deep-frozen foods, it’s better to buy a refrigerator with a spacious freezer. 

If you live in a tiny apartment with limited floor space, but still your mind yearns to have a double door refrigerator? 

Now let’s dive into some of the features that these double door refrigerators might offer you. 

As a thumb rule, never expect every single feature to be present on a product, no matter how premium the price tag is. 

3) Frost Free Refrigeration

You can pretty much expect every double door refrigerator to come with frost-free technology as a standard. 

Not that there aren’t any direct cool type double door refrigerators out there. 

The advantage of having a refrigerator with frost-free technology is that the freezer compartment will be free of ice build-up all the time. You won’t have to manually defrost the compartment.

4) Compressor

There are double door refrigerators with a rotary as well as reciprocatory compressors in the market. 

While rotary compressors are silent but power consuming, reciprocatory compressors are efficient but noisy. Both have their own merits and demerits.

5) Built-in Stabilizer

Even with the hefty price tags ( compared to the average Indian user ), we are not sure why companies tend to omit the built-in stabilizer feature from these devices. 

A standalone stabilizer may cost somewhere close to Rs.2,000 which is an additional burden on the customer.

Make sure the model you’ve selected does come with a built-in stabilizer to protect the refrigerator from electrical surges and voltage fluctuations. 

6) Energy Efficiency Rating

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency has mandated star ratings to indicate the power efficiency of an appliance. As 5-star being the maximum, it is desirable to have one such refrigerator but at the cost of high initials.

What’s necessary is to always ask for the star rating of a product you intend to purchase. If it has at least 3-stars and fits your budget, better the deal. There are a lot of double door refrigerators with a 5-star rating.

7) Smart Features

Certain brands have smart connectivity features incorporated with their refrigerators. For eg., LG has its own set of smart features such as Smart Connect, Smart diagnosis etc for enhanced usability of their devices. 

8) Warranty

Most of the double door refrigerators come into the market with a comprehensive 1-year all-round warranty along with separate warranty for the compressor.

Conclusion

There you have the buying guide to help you purchase the double door refrigerator of your dreams. 

We hope our list and buying guides were helpful in your decision-making process. As always thank you for visiting dope mobiles and have a blessed day. Cheers!
