This Samsung refrigerator is irresistible for reasons you will surely know.
Though this fridge costs just over Rs. 15000/-, we have included it in our review. The reason is that the extra money you pay over and above the price that we have taken as a base for this review is negligible. But the features that it offers far outweigh the price you pay for it.
It offers 198-liter storage capacity with digital display on door. Its shelves are made from toughened glass which are claimed to be tough enough to bear 175 kg – safely. Better you test its capacity with the amount of your fresh food requirements for, perhaps, a week or so.
There is a large bin for holding vegetables, three adjustable compartments for holding fresh food, and four door bins for holding bottles, egg trays, etc.
But the most important is the digital inverter technology that automatically adjusts the compressor speed to 5 levels that the manufacturer has identified in cooling demands. Thus, your cooling requirement is met consistently no matter what the outside temperature is.
What’s more, this fridge comes with a base stand drawer where you can store dry vegetables that don’t need cooling, like potatoes and onion! That’s something, indeed!
It also controls frost build-up to a considerable extent. And it saves a lot of energy as well.
If there is a power outage, you can run it on home inverter or a solar energy inverter. Moreover, this fridge is stabilizer free and can operate with input voltage in the range of 100 – 300V. And there is a surge protection too. In case that the input voltage exceeds 300V, the refrigerator cuts off automatically. Undoubtedly, this is one of its unique selling points.
Finally, its back side does not show the grill of coils and wires. These are all protected with a safety cover that keeps the components from gathering dust. And it is also easy to clean.
Taking into consideration all the features that Samsung 198 L 4 Star Inverter Refrigerator offers and weighing them against the price-tag attached to it, it is the best refrigerator in its class in India.

Since this is a Whirlpool appliance, you expect Insulated Capillary technology and Laminar Airflow. These are the distinctive features that you find in most Whirlpool products.
The insulated capillary technology is a technology that prevents the loss of cooling that takes place in the process of carrying the refrigerant in a duct. This it does by surrounding the capillary with the super cold gas. It is so efficient that the cold temperature may get as low as -26˚. Laminar Airflow is supportive to the cooling process.
This refrigerator can be operated without a stabilizer as long as input voltage remains between 95 to 300 volts. If the voltage increases too much, it automatically cuts the power to prevent electrical damage.

LG 190 L 4 Star is the best direct cool single door inverter refrigerator in India. Apart from what we can say about it, it is a product that promotes itself. Its design and outer appearance tell-tale the fact that LG seriously takes into consideration the consumer mindset.
More often than not, the outer appearance strikes the right chord with the consumers. And when they find that the outlook does not belie the quality of performance, they choose it for themselves. This LG refrigerator will fully satisfy them in both respects.
It has a roomy inside. But if you want more space, you have the luxury of adjusting the height of the shelves. The spill proof shelves are durable, being made from toughened glass.
But what makes it the best refrigerator under Rs. 15000/- in Indian market is the smart inverter compressor that is used in it. It is undoubtedly the most important thing in a refrigerator, having different speeds for different temperatures.
High speed, more energy consumption; low speed, less energy consumption. This contributes to its energy efficiency; because whenever the external temperature is low, the compressor has to work less to keep the interior cool. That explains why this fridge is rated 4 stars.
But it also explains why it produces no noise. And, in case, there is a power-cut situation, you can connect the appliance to your home inverter. It’s a smart connect fridge.
It is great when it comes to preservation of vegetables because of an extremely competent Moist ‘n’ Fresh feature that maintains the required level of moisture in this compartment in order to keep the content fresh for long duration. For this purpose it uses special lattice-type box cover. When the content loses moisture it is condensed on the lattice and maintains optimum level of moisture.
Finally, we must make mention of two of its features. One is the Fastest Ice Making that makes ice in just 108 minutes. Another is the Chiller Zone that is the coldest part of the fridge after the freezer. It is far colder than the fresh food compartment and is capable of literally freezing anything that you might keep there for long.

7. Godrej 190L 5 Star Inverter Direct Cool Single Door Refrigerator (RD 1905 PTI 53 SI ST, Sleek Steel)
Product Specifications:
- Capacity: 190 liters
- Color: Sleek Steel
- Energy efficiency: 5 star
- Warranty: 1 year on product & 10 years on compressor
- Compressor type: Inverter
Features:
- Direct cool
- Manual defrosting
- Single door
- Toughened glass shelves
- Built-in air vents
With Godrej 190L 5 Star Inverter Direct Cool Single Door refrigerator we come to a product that is better than the best in its class.
It looks pretty simple, partly because of its design and partly because of the sobriety of the color it wears. However, it is designed for you if you are moved by practical considerations and are concerned more with how the product performs. After all, it is the performance that serves the purpose.
So, we think it better to begin with the best that it offers. And, we think, it is the inverter compressor. The 5 star rating is due to this inverter compressor. As stated earlier, not too many refrigerators under Rs. 15000/- feature inverter compressor.
Because its speed varies in keeping with the outer temperature, the extent of frost build-up that is noticed in non-inverter appliances is to be missed here for good. It takes more time to reach the level of frost build-up that necessitates defrosting. When it does reach that point, there is a very easy manual defrosting process in place for you.
Another benefit of inverter compressor is seen in its noiseless functioning.
The cooling effect this compressor generates is equi-distributed in all parts of the fridge through built-in air vents.
The down side of this refrigerator is that, though it offers strong and durable toughened glass shelves, it is lacking in multiple support mounts for them. So, it is you who have to adjust to the space that the given height of the shelves provide you with.

Haier 195 L 4 Star Direct Cool Single Door refrigerator contends with the finest offerings from the best refrigerator brands in India.
It offers the same facilities that other real good inverter refrigerators do but with the difference that Haier offers them in its own style.
It has quite unpretentious appearance from outside and a dazzle steel color that matches any color scheme your kitchen may have. If you open it, the difference starts to tell itself.
It doesn’t offer multiple support mounts. But it counter-balances this lack with rationalized height for the shelves. It accommodates stuff with varying size and volume effectively.
There are three shelves creating four compartments, and standard placement of the large vegetable box at the bottom featuring multi air flow.
The shelves are made from spill proof toughened glass and, therefore, durable.
Real difference in the design of its interior becomes articulate when you look at the number and size of door bins. There are as many as six bins for holding water bottles, egg trays, medicines, and what not.
It makes use of reciprocating compressor, which is ideal for optimum cooling, and R600a refrigerant. In order to prevent loss of cool air it uses PUF insulation. It’s quite effective.
When we talk about cooling function of a Haier refrigerator, we cannot avoid naming its 1 Hour Icing Technology that makes ice in an hour.
Because it is a direct cool fridge, there is given a dial to lock temperature in different seasons; because the process of frost building has varying pace in keeping with varying temperatures that are registered in different seasons. You can adjust it to whatever season you are in.
When frost builds up to defrost indicator light in the freezer, press the defrost button in the middle of the dial and you’re done with it. It’s easy as pie.
And for power fluctuation that ranges from 135V to 290V, you have stabilizer free operation.
