User Reviews for Whirlpool FP 263D PROTTON ROY 240 Ltr Triple Door Refrigerator

Excellent product.Fast delivery by Ekart.There was no colour selection,only Alfa steel was available in flipkart.Installation through Flipkart takes minimum two days, but on contacting the local whirlpool centre they installed it on the same day of delivery.Thanks to whirlpool flipkart and Ekart.The product is very useful only drawback is no lighting in the top deepfreezer compartment.Anyway satisfied with this purchase.

I guess it looks smaller as compared to the pics but still not very disappointed. I guess it was having inbuilt stabiliser but the insulation guy used the manual of this refrigerator to put a stabiliser cum UPS for safety for Rs. 1900. So overall an OK experience. 4 stars I'm pretty much satisfied.

I bought this product 45 days ago and have intentionally waited till date to check on its performance and then write the review.nnFirst of all, the pricing by flipkart is unbelievable. This same product (though different colors) is clearly 3 or 4 thousand higher in retail shops and can count as the best deal in flipkart. I have checked this product in the retail shops and none was selling a white color in this model and I get an assumption that this competitive pricing by flipkart is only on the white color because most of the consumers don't prefer a white color fridge these days.nnComing to performance, I was little bit skeptical to review the product immediately and had taken 45 days time to test and review it. Though the build quality and performance can be assured because of the Whirlpool brand, I was very keen to check the power consumption as none of the triple door refrigerators have a BEE certified star rating and this product is no exception to it. Counting from 1st day of the month till the last day of the month in terms of electricity consumption, my power bill showed we consumed 150+ units which was our regular bill in the month of June with our earlier single door 9 year old fridge.nMy four star rating of this product is for the below reasons.n1) for the white color 2) no lights in the vegetable section and also in the freezer.

1. Product is good, cools well for now. Below are the issue lists, day 1: after running 12 hours also cooling is not good. called customer care, they told that there is no issues and first time it takes time to cool. I asked for demo. day 2: Demo guy came, saw the issues, said no problem. day 3: put cooler regulator in 7, it is cooling now. day 4: Came from office, fridge is cold but not chilled, ice comportment: ice is melting. Is it the auto defrost system, I wondered!!! Never used auto defrost before. After sometimes again compressor started, everything back to normal. day 5: Stopped cooling, inside temperature is little less than room temperature. Asked flipkart from replacement. Got an sms, some technician will visit my home next day (i.e. day 6). day 6: Whole day, no one came. day 6 (night): Opened the fridge, all food items are rotten, smells like dustbin. day 7: Got a call from technician, he will visit my house. Technician came, w/o any checkup he replaced the thermostat. day 8 onwards: Fridge is working fine, but keeping an eye on it, when it will fail again. Replacement request is canceled by flipkart as per technician feedback. Now my question is how come w/o any troubleshooting the technician knew the issue is with the thermostat? If he is that much experienced why couldn't he figure out the problem on day one, he figured out only after I asked for replacement.

I'LL SHARE FEW POINTS WHICH WERE ON MY MIND BEFORE PURCHASING THIS REFRIGERATOR. *BOUGHT ON 18TH DEC,16 1.) PRICE: i got this refrigerator for INR 17,740 (after exchanging my old refrigerator + 10% additional discount on sbi card) but this product is worth even at INR 22-23,000. 2.) MANUFACTURING DATE: OCTOBER,2016 3.) SAFE HOME DELIVERY : delivered by e-kart only after 1 day.they called before coming.delivered at 1st floor opened the product and made sure its working fine.and told me to keep the cover if you want to return it within 10 days.the packing was excellent not even the cover was damaged during transportation. they also took my old refrigerator without any additional charge.FULL MARKS TO THESE GUYS. 4.) POWER CONSUMPTION: approx.300 units per year. the reason i am reviewing this product after 4 months is this only. after two billing cycles as per 4 member family's average usage . the avg. power consumption is 25-30 units per month . 3-4 star rated product. 5.)NOISE : yes this product makes a little more noise then a normal refrigerator. but you won't even notice that after first few days. FEW TIPS: GO FOR MIRROR WHITE IF IT'S CHEAPER BY MORE THAN A 1500 BUCKS. YES THERE IS NO LIGHT IN FREEZER AND VEGETABLES COMPARTMENT BUT EVEN MOST OF THE PRODUCTS DON'T HAVE THAT TOO. GO FOR IT
