A bachelor or family with 1-2 members will need a fridge with capacity less than 200 litre;

Small families with 3-4 members will need a fridge of size 200-350 L;

Larger families with more than 5 members will need a fridge of size 400L and above.

There are different types of refrigerators available in the market—namely single door, double door, side-by-side door and French door refrigerators.

• Single Door Refrigerator
• Double Door Refrigerator
• Triple Door Refrigerator

• Single Door Refrigerators usually have capacity less than 250 L and mostly runs on direct cool technology. Most of them have to be manually defrost periodically too.
  Suitable mainly for small families with 1-3 members, it is comparatively budget friendly, compact and consumes 30-40% less energy compared to double door refrigerator of similar capacity.
  On the negative side, its freezer space is quite less and if you are a non-vegetarian who usually stocks up fish and meat for a week, then you may not be quite happy with its freezer capacity.

  Double Door Refrigerators as the name suggests has separate doors for freezer and refrigerator.
  It usually has a capacity between 200-700L and is suitable for families with 3-5 members. It has larger freezer chamber, adjustable shelves and comes with frost free technology—meaning you won’t have to defrost the ice manually from the freezer.

  Compared to single door refrigerators that operate with direct cool technology, double door refrigerators use automatic fans to circulate cool air, hence consuming 30-40% more electricity.

  Price wise, it costs more than and also has a lot more features than single door refrigerators.

  Side-By-Side Door Refrigerators are larger in size with capacity between 500L and 900L, making it suitable for large families. These type of refrigerators have advanced features and may even have in-built water dispenser.

  It is recommended that you thoroughly analyse your needs before you buy a side-by-side refrigerator because, it usually has a large freezer space ( around 1/3rd the total capacity). Many Indian families do not need such a large freezer capacity and would be better off with a large double door refrigerator.
