Hi,
We bought a new flat. Looking for appliance suggestions within my budget. Please suggest something from your area of expertise/usage.
1) ACs: 2.5L
- 3x 1 Ton AC
- 2x 1.5 Ton AC
Considering:
- Full 5-year warranty
- 3 vs 5 star rating?
- 2025 BEE ratings (if substantially better than previous)
2) Fridge: 60K
Considering a 600L side-by-side fridge from Haier. Our current 385L double door is only 50% full as we keep a lot of stuff on the Dining Table. Wondering if we need 600L or if the family just wants it for show. Looking for feedback here.
3) Gas Stove: 20K
We have this and want to upgrade. https://shop.ttkprestige.com/prestige-desire-hobtop-phtd-04-ai-4-burners40578.html
Looking for something better than this. Maybe 3 burners with larger burners or auto-off functionality.
4) Chimney: 20K
I don't know much about it. Suggest the best in my budget.
5) Bathroom Heater:
I had a poor experience with a Racold 2KW storage water heater. It takes a long time to heat water for usage in shower. An instant water heater with 3KW heats water quickly. I'm confused. What do you suggest?
6) RO: 20K
I have this and am satisfied with it. https://www.zerobonline.com/product/kitchenmate-rouf-under-the-sink-purifier/
Should I buy the same RO model again, consider a rental, or go for a locally assembled one with low service costs?
7) Robo Vaccum Cleaner: 25K
Looking for a Robo Vac with LIDAR and good after-sales support.
Considering Xiaomi X10, but it's out of stock at Amazon.
8) Air Purifier: 20K
What a ripoff. Companies are selling a simple mechanical thing for inflated prices. Considering Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Pro.
I might buy more for my home after testing a product. Suggest 2: one with a PM sensor, one without to save money. Running one will give enough idea of the PM values.
9) TV: 1.5L
I need 3 TVs and am considering:
- TCL 75 inch (70K) (Non 120hz or qled/oled panel as those will increase the budget)
- 2x Motorola 65 inch (40K)
10) Microwave Oven + OTG: 20K
11) Ceiling Fan: 42K
I need 7 fans. They must be BLDC and look good. If good-looking fans are expensive, I can put 2 expensive ones in the living room and cheaper ones in the bedrooms and kitchen to fit them within the budget.
12) Smartlock Dilemma?
Should I get a safety door? I'll need two smartlocks if I do.
I was going to get a video doorbell, a smart lock, and CCTV for the front door. But now I can get all that in one smartlock with video doorbell functionality. https://www.amazon.in/LAVNA-Fingerprint-Mobile-Manual-Bluetooth/dp/B0CFLT4X5F/
I can also rely on the floor passage CCTV cameras (managed by society).
