Please suggest a good refrigerator.

[pvsabnis]

Hello everyone.....well I'm looking for a refrigerator for my family (consists of me and my wife). Please suggest a good brand. I have already shortlisted Whirlpool, Samsung and Panasonic. Also I'm confused between 260 Liters and 300 Liters capacity. I heard that Panasonic refrigerators have Japanese compressor, Is it true? How about Whirlpool....??

Hello everyone..... I am also looking for a refrigerator in 240-260 liter gross capacity.Budget is Rs.20000 +- 5000.Please suggest one ASAP.

@ pvsabnis I think 260-300 liter is too big for a family of two and you should also consider brands like Godrej, Videocon, LG etc.

Thanks everyone for helping me:yes:.I am going for LG GL-308VE4 Double Door - Top Freezer 290 Litres Refrigerator | Refrigerator | Flipkart.com for Rs.23000 after discount.
@pvsabnis : The Samsung RT2935TNB doesn't have a deodorizer as per there catalogue and it is also costly then LG GL-308VE4.Do consider before buying.Thanks again.....

@RohanGupta: Thanks for pointing out......I'll consider LG for sure.

Panasonic refrigerators sold in India are made in Thailand, not sure if the compressor was made in Japan. I got a418Ltrs model and it does comsumes way less electricity than older models.

Stay away from Whirlpool! A family freind has has multiple troubles with his fridge, finally he got the concealed heat pipes on the outside(like in old fridges) as it was causing problems. .
NOTE: The fridge was kept in a well ventilated space.
