Catalogue listing — not a hands-on review
We have not tested this unit. The specifications below are parsed from the manufacturer's own listing, the features are their wording, and the score is calculated from those specifications rather than assigned by an editor. For models we have examined in depth, see our ranked refrigerators guides.
About this model
The Kelvinator 45 L 2 Star Direct Cool Mini Refrigerator is a 45 litre mini refrigerator listed on Flipkart at ₹9,490 (checked 22 September 2026).
A single room, office or hostel is the household this size suits. It is direct cool, which is cheaper and more efficient but needs manual defrosting.
This is a catalogue listing, not a review: every figure is taken from Kelvinator's Flipkart listing and nobody here has tested this unit. The score is calculated from those specs. Compare the Amazon and Flipkart prices before buying.
Manufacturer's stated features
Worth noting
- Direct cool means ice builds up and the freezer needs manual defrosting
- A 2-star rating costs noticeably more to run over a fridge's 10-year life
- The listing does not state an inverter compressor
- Annual energy use (kWh) is not stated on the listing — check the BEE label before buying
When this is not a good choice
Every condition below is derived from this product's published specifications and from how it compares with the refrigerators we track — so you can check each one against your own room, supply or budget rather than take our word for it.
You live outside a metro or a major service town
Kelvinator's service network is rated good rather than excellent. Filter availability and callout times are what decide whether a purifier is still running in five years, and they are worth checking for your pin code before you buy.

About Kelvinator
A heritage Indian name — the 'coolest one' of an earlier generation — relaunched under Reliance Retail. The proposition is straightforward budget value with Reliance Digital's retail and service footprint behind it. Specification is entry-level and the range is small, but for a first refrigerator or a second unit the pricing is genuinely competitive.
