Top 10 Best Refrigerators under 20000 in India is an article where our team came up with the list of refrigerators after their in-depth research. In our previous article, we tried to list out the best refrigerators under than 15000 price points.
You must have noticed in our article that under 15000 price point the list only included single door refrigerators with few of them equipped with inverter technology which is good for a family of 1-3 depending on the capacity available which was maximally available up to 210 L.
However, if you have a higher budget i.e. up to 20000 then you can easily select single door models with inverter technology of higher capacity that goes up to 235 L and some models available at 250L. Even in this price range, you will not get double door refrigerators with inverter technology of 4 or 5-star rating. In spite of the limited availability of models, We have tried to research in this domain and came up with our list of selected models.
We will list the inverter model with double door first even if they have slightly lower energy efficiency. Secondly, double door non-inverter technology having high efficiency and then will go down the list with single doors.
The reason behind our ranking is the budget constraint, so even if you have a low budget in your mind, we will make sure that you get the best value for your money keeping a balance between capacity and efficiency.
