Top 7 Refrigerators that are Perfect for Big Families

In many home appliances you buy today, a key consideration is the capacity of the item. For instance, certain appliances such as refrigerators are bought depending on their capacity. If you are buying a refrigerator — say a Godrej refrigerator for a large family, you would likely choose a large model like the 470 L Godrej Refrigerator (RT EON VESTA 485MD13.4). The capacity of a refrigerator is measured in litres, and large refrigerators range anywhere from 400 – 500 L. If you have a large family of 5 members or more, then it’s wise to buy a refrigerator of more than 400 L capacity. These days, most Indian consumers are savvy enough to buy large refrigerators as they know that family sizes grow in the future. Apart from this, large refrigerators ensure that you have enough space in case you have guests over, or if people stay over at your place. Brands like Whirlpool, Samsung, Godrej, Hitachi, Bosch and LG sell some of the best large capacity refrigerators in India, not to mention the recent offerings by Haier and Hisense. Here’s a run-through of the top seven refrigerators that are ideal for large families.

Whirlpool 500 L Intellifresh Refrigerator (Intellifresh INV CNV 515 35)

In auto mode, you can set your fridge to work according to the fridge load and ambient temperature outside. This makes the fridge more energy-efficient as well.
