Capacity is the first thing to get right. As a rough guide, a couple or single person is well served by a 200 to 250 litre double door fridge, a family of three to four fits comfortably in the 250 to 300 litre range, and joint families or bulk shoppers should look at 330 litres and above. On this list that means the realme and Godrej 223 to 244 litre models suit smaller homes, while the Samsung 330 L and 396 L are built for larger households.
Also think about your kitchen layout and how often you shop. If you buy groceries weekly and cook in bulk, size up rather than down, since a cramped fridge forces you to leave food out. Measure the gap where the fridge will sit and leave a few centimetres on each side for ventilation, which helps the compressor run efficiently.
The BEE star rating tells you how energy efficient a fridge is, and it directly affects your monthly electricity bill. A 1 star model is cheapest to buy but costs the most to run, while a 3 star model costs a little more upfront and pays you back over years of lower power use. If the fridge will run all day in a hot climate, the small premium for a 3 star rating, like the realme, Godrej and Samsung 3 star options here, is usually worth it.
Frost free models such as the Haier 240 L automatically prevent ice build up so you never defrost manually, and they keep temperatures more even. Direct cool models are cheaper and use slightly less power but need occasional defrosting. Inverter and digital inverter compressors, found on the Whirlpool and Samsung picks, run quietly, adjust to load and tend to last longer, making them a smart long term choice.
