About this model

A family of three or four 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 Samsung'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
- Inverter compressor: quieter and more efficient at part load
Worth noting

About Samsung
LG's closest rival and the brand that owns the Indian convertible-freezer conversation. Twin Cooling Plus runs the fridge and freezer on separate evaporators, which is the single most useful thing you can do about the smell of leftover sabzi migrating into the ice — and it is a genuine engineering difference, not a marketing label. Samsung's Digital Inverter carries the same ten-year warranty as LG's, and its 5-in-1 and 5-in-1 Convertible modes are the most flexible in the market.
