Croma's own refrigerator and washing machine listings, read on 20 August. Two of 22 products have been rated by more than a hundred people.
We read 84 Croma refrigerator and washing machine listings on 20 August 2026 and seated 22 from Rs. 8,090 to Rs. 31,290. Almost nothing here has been rated: two listings carry a three-figure count, eleven have three ratings or fewer, five have none. The largest discount on the page, 43 per cent, sits on the worst-rated appliance in it. The most useful pair is the same Haier 190-litre fridge at 2 and 3 stars, Rs. 1,000 apart - a gap the efficiency label repays inside three years.
Every price below was pulled from Croma on August 20, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Croma coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

First: read the BEE star rating as a running cost, because on a fridge it outlives every discount on the page - the same Haier at 3 stars instead of 2 repays its Rs. 1,000 premium in under three years. Second: check the rating count, because on this shelf a five-star average routinely comes from one buyer. Third: work out which format you are buying before you compare prices - semi-automatic, top load and front load are three different machines, not three price points. Fourth: check the live coupon page before checkout, the same discipline we applied to Croma against Reliance Digital and Vijay Sales, because card and exchange offers on large appliances are often worth more than the listing discount.

This is the defining problem with buying large appliances online, and this shelf shows it clearly. Only two of the 22 listings we seated carry a three-figure rating count - a Croma 7.5 kg semi-automatic at 4.6 from 120 people and a Samsung 7 kg top-loader at 4.4 from 121. Eleven listings have three ratings or fewer, and five publish none at all. A five-star average from one buyer is not evidence, so we print the count next to every pick and show a rating pill only when at least fifty people have rated the product. Where Croma shows a rating count with no average, we say that too.
Eleven of the 22 listings here are Croma's own label, and for those the stated MRP and the selling price are decided by the same company - so the percentage between them is a pricing decision rather than a saving against anyone else's price. That is not a reason to avoid them; the cheapest and the best-rated appliances in this entire read are both Croma-branded. It is a reason to read the rupee price and the rating count rather than the badge, and it explains the pattern on this page: Croma's own listings carry the biggest discounts, at 43 and 41 and 40 per cent, while Samsung and Whirlpool sit at 12 and 18.
On appliances that run continuously for a decade, the efficiency label is a larger number than most of the discounts on this page. This read contains the cleanest possible illustration: the same Haier 190-litre fridge appears at 2 stars for Rs. 14,990 and at 3 stars for Rs. 15,990. A 3 star direct-cool fridge of that size draws roughly 15 to 20 per cent less power, which on current tariffs is in the region of Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 a year - so the Rs. 1,000 premium returns inside three years and keeps returning. Where a listing is 1 star, as the cheapest frost-free double door here is, we have said what that costs rather than reporting only its price.
Both shelves in this read mix formats that are not substitutes. A semi-automatic washing machine has two tubs and needs you to move the wash between them; a fully-automatic does it itself and uses considerably more water; a front loader uses far less water than either and washes better, and starts Rs. 15,900 above the shelf floor. On the fridge side, direct cool means manual defrosting and lower power draw, while frost free adds a fan, a freezer compartment and a higher electricity bill. We have noted which format each listing is and what the format costs you, rather than ranking a Rs. 8,090 semi-automatic against a Rs. 23,990 front loader on price alone.
On weight of evidence, the Samsung 7 kg fully-automatic top loader at Rs. 19,690, which carries 121 ratings at 4.4 - one of only two listings in this entire read with a three-figure crowd. If a semi-automatic suits how you wash, the Croma 7.5 kg at Rs. 11,590 has 120 ratings at 4.6, the highest average anywhere on this page, and costs Rs. 8,100 less. The listing we would steer around is the Croma 7.5 kg fully-automatic at Rs. 13,790: it carries the largest discount badge in the read at 43 per cent and the lowest rating on the page, 2.9 from 67 buyers, which is the only sizeable sample here delivering a negative verdict. One curiosity worth checking at the product page: the Samsung 7 kg inverter machine at Rs. 18,690 is priced Rs. 1,000 below the non-inverter Samsung, despite the better motor.
Usually yes, and this read contains an unusually clean way to see it. The same Haier 190-litre direct-cool fridge appears twice on Croma's shelf - at 2 stars for Rs. 14,990 and at 3 stars for Rs. 15,990. Same brand, same capacity, one thousand rupees. A 3 star direct-cool refrigerator of that size draws roughly 15 to 20 per cent less electricity than a 2 star one, which on current Indian domestic tariffs works out somewhere in the region of Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 a year for typical use. On that arithmetic the premium returns inside about three years, and a fridge bought today will very likely still be running in ten. The same logic argues against the cheapest frost-free double door in our read, the Haier 240-litre at Rs. 24,490, which carries a 1 star label - the least efficient appliance on this page, on a format that already uses more power than direct cool.
They are three different machines, not three price points. A semi-automatic has two tubs and you move the wash from the washing tub to the spin tub yourself; it uses the least water, costs the least - Rs. 8,090 at the bottom of this shelf - and needs you to be present. A fully-automatic top loader does everything in one tub without supervision, starts at Rs. 12,790 here, and uses considerably more water per cycle. A front loader tumbles clothes rather than agitating them, uses far less water than either, washes noticeably better and is gentler on fabric; it starts at Rs. 23,990 in this read, takes longer per cycle and needs to sit level on a solid floor. If water bills or fabric care matter, the front loader repays its premium. If the budget is the binding constraint, the semi-automatic with 120 ratings at 4.6 is the best-evidenced appliance on this entire page.
On this evidence they are a genuine option at the bottom of the price range, with one clear caveat. Eleven of the 22 listings we seated are Croma's own label, and they include both the cheapest appliance in the read at Rs. 8,090 and the best-rated one, a 7.5 kg semi-automatic at 4.6 from 120 buyers. They also include the worst - a fully-automatic machine rated 2.9 by 67 people - so the label is not a uniform quality signal in either direction. Two structural points are worth holding on to. First, Croma sets both the stated MRP and the selling price on its own products, which is why the largest badges on this page are all Croma-branded at 43, 41 and 40 per cent while Samsung and Whirlpool sit at 12 and 18. Second, after-sales service on a retailer's own brand runs through the retailer rather than a manufacturer's national network, which on an appliance you expect to keep for a decade is worth weighing against the saving.
Usually, and on large appliances they are frequently worth more than the listing discount itself. Croma runs bank and card offers that apply at the payment stage on top of the listed price, along with exchange bonuses for your old appliance and no-cost EMI on higher-value purchases - and on a Rs. 25,000 fridge a card offer can be a larger number than the difference between two models. We did not test any code, card offer or exchange quote at checkout for this page and will not quote a figure we have not seen applied. What this read gives you is the baseline to beat on 20 August 2026: Rs. 8,090 for the cheapest washing machine on the shelf, Rs. 9,690 for the cheapest refrigerator, Rs. 11,590 for the best-rated appliance in the read, and Rs. 24,490 for the cheapest frost-free double door.
