Hi folks,
One of my family members recently shifted and is looking to buy a new washing machine and fridge. Listing down specifics below.
Looking for recommendations from the forum members on the model(s) to consider online/offline. The price listed is the upper limit, can downgrade to lower-spec models for reliability.

Washing Machine specifics -
  • Location - Chennai
  • Type - Top Load
  • Machine size - 6-7Kg
  • Budget - Around 15K INR
  • Nature of clothes - Never soiled
  • Household size - 4 family members
  • Use - Alternate days
  • Brand - No preference
  • Features - Basic one will do

Refridgerator specifics -
  • Location - Chennai
  • Type - Double Door
  • Capacity - ~250L
  • Budget - Around 25K INR
  • Usage - Aways on throughout the year
  • Compressor type (?) - Torn between Non-inverter and Inverter. Might not be possible given the budget.
  • Electricity consumption - <=200KW/Year
  • Brand - No preference
 
I have good experience with whirlpool regarding washing machine. Top load, 6.5 kg fully automatic machine has been working flawlessly for the past few years. There was a minor issue once with one of the exhaust valves a few months ago and that was promptly repaired by whirlpool. Long after the machine was out of warranty. But the technician did charge Rs 350 for his visit and Rs 600 for the valve, which IMO are fair prices. Do check for hot wash feature , that comes handy if you want to wash kitchen towels / other heavily soiled stuffs.

Can't recommend about refrigerator.

Get one with 60-litre capacity. I don't know what kg rating that is with top loads

Maybe people here with top loaders can measure their models and tell us the volume of their machine along with kg rating and brand.
