Twenty-five appliances read on 27 August, Rs. 9,290 to Rs. 1,35,990. Priced per litre, per kilo and per ton, the discount ranking falls apart - and two 1-ton air conditioners turn out to cost exactly the same.
We read Reliance Digital's air conditioner, refrigerator and washing machine shelves on 27 August 2026 and seated 25 listings from Rs. 9,290 to Rs. 1,35,990. Two of them are 1 ton 3 star inverter splits priced at exactly Rs. 33,490 - one badged 40 per cent off, the other 4 per cent. Nobody saved anything; the brands printed different MRPs beside the same price. So we priced every listing per litre, per kilo and per ton instead, and the rankings that produces are not the ones the badges suggest.
Every price below was pulled from Reliance Digital on August 27, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Reliance Digital coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.
Seven fridges, and the one place on this shelf where the deep badges really do deliver the cheapest capacity. The BPL holds 140 more litres than the LG and costs Rs. 1,400 less.
Rs. 23,990 for 365 litres - the cheapest big fridge here, on the largest claimed MRP.
Why it earned its spot It is Rs. 66 a litre, and it is the only listing here claiming to halve a Rs. 60,000 price.
Rs. 11,000 for 187 litres - Rs. 59 a litre, the lowest here by a clear margin.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 59 a litre against Rs. 113 for the LG 225 L. Nothing else is close.
Rs. 20,790 for a 230 L frost-free double door - but at 1 star.
Why it earned its spot The cheapest frost-free double door in the read, at Rs. 90 a litre.
Rs. 24,390 for 240 litres at 2 stars, from a brand with nationwide service.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 102 a litre - the price of buying capacity from a brand with showrooms.
Rs. 16,190 for 190 litres at 3 stars - the most efficient small fridge here.
Why it earned its spot Three stars where the Kelvinator 187 L has two, for Rs. 5,190 more.
Rs. 17,490 for 185 litres - Rs. 95 a litre, and a 24 per cent badge.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 6,490 more than the Kelvinator for the same shelf space, one more star and LG's name.
Rs. 25,390 for 225 litres - Rs. 113 a litre, and it is a 1 star machine.
Why it earned its spot Nearly twice the BPL's rupees per litre, at a worse energy rating.
Seven machines spanning Rs. 1,239 to Rs. 4,813 a kilo - a spread that describes semi-automatic against front-load, not a discount. Every card names its type first.
Rs. 9,290, and Rs. 1,239 a kilo - but it is a semi-automatic, and that is why.
Why it earned its spot The lowest price and the lowest cost per kilo here, both explained by the same word: semi.
Rs. 9,990 for 7.5 kg - Rs. 700 more than the Foxsky, from a brand with a service network.
Why it earned its spot Same capacity and type as the Rs. 9,290 Foxsky, with Voltas's service behind it.
Rs. 14,790 for 6.5 kg - the entry price for a machine that fills itself.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 4,800 more than the semi-automatics, for never touching wet laundry mid-cycle.
Rs. 16,460 for 7 kg top load automatic - Rs. 1,670 more than the 6.5 kg.
Why it earned its spot Half a kilo more drum than the Voltas Beko automatic, for Rs. 1,670.
Rs. 9,890 for a 5 star semi-automatic - the only 5 star washing machine here.
Why it earned its spot A 5 star badge on a machine that already uses the least power and water of any type.
Rs. 25,000 for 8 kg fully automatic - the largest automatic top load here.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 3,125 a kilo for the biggest top-load drum in the read.
Rs. 33,690 for 7 kg front load - Rs. 4,813 a kilo, four times the semi-automatics.
Why it earned its spot Per kilo it is the worst value here; per wash it is a different machine entirely.
Eleven listings, including the Voltas star-rating pair Rs. 11,000 apart and, at the very end, the Samsung 1 ton that costs exactly what the 40-per-cent Voltas costs.
Rs. 24,990 for a 1 ton convertible inverter, the lowest AC price in the read.
Why it earned its spot It is the only AC here under Rs. 28,000, and it states copper rather than leaving it out.
Rs. 28,490 for 1.5 tons - Rs. 18,993 a ton, the best AC capacity value here.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 18,993 a ton, against Rs. 33,490 for the Voltas 1 ton. Nothing else is near it.
Rs. 35,990 for 1.5 tons - Rs. 11,000 less than the identical-tonnage 5 star below.
Why it earned its spot Same brand, same tonnage, two fewer stars, Rs. 11,000 less. That is the star premium priced.
Rs. 33,490 for a 1 ton, on a 40 per cent badge. Read the last card on this page.
Why it earned its spot A Samsung 1 ton 3 star costs the same Rs. 33,490 on a 4 per cent badge.
Rs. 34,490 for a 1.5 ton 3 star, on a 24 per cent badge - and it is good value per ton.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 22,993 a ton on a small badge - better tonnage value than four deeper-badged units.
A 4 star 1.5 ton at Rs. 38,490, cheaper than either 5 star on this page.
Why it earned its spot Four stars at Rs. 25,660 a ton, against Rs. 31,327 a ton for the Voltas 5 star.
Samsung at 55 per cent off - the only major name here discounting like a challenger.
Why it earned its spot Every other Samsung listing in this pull discounts 4 to 22 per cent. This one is 55.
1.6 tons at 5 stars for Rs. 46,990 - the same price as a 1.5 ton 5 star Voltas.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 29,369 a ton against Rs. 31,327 for the identically priced Voltas 5 star.
Rs. 46,990 for the same 1.5 tons the 3 star sells for Rs. 35,990.
Why it earned its spot Two energy stars, Rs. 11,000, one brand, one shelf, one day. That is the price of the stars.
Rs. 1,35,990 for 4 tons - the most expensive listing here by a factor of three.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 33,998 a ton - roughly what the Voltas 1 ton costs per ton, at four times the scale.
Rs. 33,490 for a 1 ton 3 star - identical to the 40-per-cent Voltas, on a 4 per cent badge.
Why it earned its spot Same price, same tonnage, same stars as the Voltas at 40 per cent off. The badge is the only difference.
First: convert every price to rupees per litre, per kilo or per ton before you compare anything, because on this shelf the 24-per-cent Godrej air conditioner is better value per ton than the 40-per-cent Voltas. Second: read the machine type before the per-unit number - the washing machine range from Rs. 1,239 to Rs. 4,813 a kilo is semi-automatic against front-load, not a discount. Third: treat the energy star rating as a running cost and price it, which this shelf lets you do exactly, since Voltas sells the same 1.5 ton at 3 star and 5 star Rs. 11,000 apart. Fourth: weigh the service network on anything with a compressor, because a ten-year appliance is a ten-year service relationship - the same trade we found across Reliance Digital's wider August shelf.

Because the percentage is arithmetic over an MRP the brand chose and the per-unit figure is arithmetic over what you pay. On this shelf the two disagree constantly: the 24-per-cent Godrej air conditioner is better tonnage value at Rs. 22,993 a ton than the 40-per-cent Voltas at Rs. 33,490, and the 21-per-cent LG fridge is the most expensive litre in the read at Rs. 113.
Because the washing machine spread from Rs. 1,239 to Rs. 4,813 a kilo is almost entirely semi-automatic against front-load, and quoting it as a value ranking would be misleading. A semi-automatic needs you to lift wet laundry between two tubs every load, for the life of the machine. That is a different product, not a cheaper one.
Every badge above 44 per cent in this pull belongs to BPL, TCL, Kelvinator, Foxsky or Voltas Beko, none of which sets Rs. 60,490 in a showroom and then discounts it. Samsung's and LG's twelve other listings run 4 to 24 per cent because their list prices are prices somebody is asked to pay.
Voltas sells a 1.5 Ton 3 Star at Rs. 35,990 and a 1.5 Ton 5 Star at Rs. 46,990 in the same pull. Two stars cost Rs. 11,000, and whether that returns depends on hours of use - heavy daily use recovers it over several seasons, occasional use never does. We say which way each listing leans.
Not one of the thirty-six listings in this pull carried a rating average or a rating count. That is an absence in the source data, so no card here shows a rating pill and no card implies customer consensus it cannot evidence.
Because the discount percentage is calculated against an MRP each brand sets for itself, not against a market price. In our 27 August 2026 read of Reliance Digital's air conditioner shelf, a Voltas 1 Ton 3 Star inverter split was listed at Rs. 33,490 as 40 per cent off a stated Rs. 55,990, and a Samsung 1 Ton 3 Star Bespoke AI inverter split was listed at the same Rs. 33,490 as 4 per cent off a stated Rs. 34,990. Same tonnage, same star rating, same selling price on the same day. The only difference is that Voltas printed Rs. 55,990 beside its price and Samsung printed Rs. 34,990. A shopper sorting by discount would see one and not the other, and would believe they had saved Rs. 22,500 while paying exactly what the undiscounted-looking machine costs. Read the selling price, then convert it to rupees per ton.
In this read the range was Rs. 18,993 to Rs. 33,998 a ton, which is wide enough that the figure is worth calculating before you buy. The best value was a Hisense IntelliCool 1.5 Ton 3 Star at Rs. 28,490, or Rs. 18,993 a ton. A Godrej 1.5 Ton 3 Star at Rs. 34,490 came to Rs. 22,993 a ton despite carrying only a 24 per cent badge. At the other end, the Voltas 1 Ton 3 Star at Rs. 33,490 works out at Rs. 33,490 a ton, and the 4 Ton Godrej tower at Rs. 33,998 - so buying in bulk bought nothing here. One important caveat: per-ton figures are only comparable at the same star rating, because a 5 star unit legitimately costs more per ton than a 3 star. In this pull Voltas sold the same 1.5 tons at 3 star for Rs. 35,990 and at 5 star for Rs. 46,990, so budget roughly Rs. 11,000 for two stars.
It depends entirely on whether you will accept the daily work, not on the price. A semi-automatic has two separate tubs and you lift soaking laundry from the wash tub to the spin tub by hand, every load, for the life of the machine. It does not fill itself from the tap and cannot be started and left. In this read the two semi-automatics were Rs. 9,290 (Foxsky 7.5 kg) and Rs. 9,990 (Voltas Beko 7.5 kg), against Rs. 14,790 for the cheapest fully automatic - so the saving is roughly Rs. 4,800. What semi-automatics genuinely offer beyond price is much lower water use, simple repairability by any local technician, and tolerance of the low or intermittent water pressure that stops automatic machines filling. That last point is the real reason they remain common. If your supply is reliable and you value unattended running, pay the Rs. 4,800.
It is a good price and a questionable discount, and those are separate questions. The 60 per cent is calculated against a stated Rs. 60,490 that BPL set itself - there is no showroom network charging that and then marking it down, so treat the percentage as decoration. What survives scrutiny is the per-litre figure: Rs. 23,990 for 365 litres gross is Rs. 66 a litre, against Rs. 102 for the 240 L Haier and Rs. 113 for the 225 L LG in the same read. The listing states 338 L net, so about 27 litres of the headline capacity is structure. The real compromises are the 2 star energy rating, which on a frost-free machine running continuously for a decade is a running cost you pay to the electricity board, and the service network, which is thinner than Haier's or LG's. For volume per rupee it is the clear winner on this page; for a ten-year ownership case it is a genuine trade-off.
Not on any of the thirty-six listings we pulled on 27 August 2026 across the air conditioner, refrigerator and washing machine categories. Every one returned a price, a stated MRP, a discount percentage and an image, and none returned a rating average or a rating count. That is why no card on this page renders a rating pill: we only show one where the retailer publishes real marketplace data behind it, and here there is none to show. It also means this page cannot tell you anything about reliability, delivery or installation experience from customer consensus, and we have not substituted ratings from other retailers, which would describe different stock, different sellers and different service. Specifications quoted here are read from the listing names and descriptions as printed; we have not tested, installed or measured any appliance on this page.
