nice video and a good starting point for beginners. I would like to say that if one is staying in a place like Mumbai, a frost free two door fridge would be better compared to single door (unless you are not into baking) as many times spices (especially black pepper) and certain flours go bad very quickly. So to prevent that one has to store either in the fridge or the door part of the freezer. This also includes nuts as well. This helps prevent some food wastage.
Hi Sreelakshmi! Absolutely, the single door is enough only if really constrained on budget - else at a minimum a two door becomes essential- esp after a few years.
@@TheGrapevineIndia True. When my daughter and I moved to a rented flat for her work, we got a single door fridge of 192 ltr. Later on i realised that since we are interested in baking and the need for storing spices and flours in fridge, a bigger fridge was needed. Two years ago we purchased a godrej eon 290 ltr double door frost free and exactly after one year, the fridge malfunctioned starting with a continuous beeping, making abnormal noise and then completely switching off for two days. After that it turned itself on and since then there have been icicles in the freezer but not that much to create a havoc of frost. The service people came and did some repairs but still the problem persists. It goes to -15 C (optimum and recommended for any freezer is -18C and for fridge it is 4C) and the fridge is ok. That is when i went for a standalone vertical freezer by LG (only affordable one in the market and that too online. If you are lucky you can get it type). So as of now i am using my fridge freezer to store things that need to be thawed or where i don't need to use a knife to remove ice and saarina pudi, huli pudi and vangibaath pudi. The rest are kept in the standalone freezer which is a manual one and has to be defrosted every month.
Hi Sreelakshmi! Eeks you seem to have had lot of trouble with your fridge 😢 the only time I find a need for a bigger fridge is when I have guests over and yes, also when I bake, but that seems to have taken a backseat these days.
@@TheGrapevineIndia you can say that.After the lockdown started baking has taken a backseat for me too. At the present I am interested in making indian cuisine dishes that is soo comforting.So the fridge is fulfilling my needs (though I am tempted to exchange the fridge for a new one. But that's another story and requires saving). I found the stand alone freezer very useful in helping prevent food waste as well as food prep (lasting for one month).I even store whatever lentils I get for at least three days. It kills whatever bugs and their eggs in them.i don't make freezer meals.just only pastes and certain frozen vegetables. Otherwise I get fresh veggies weekly according to whatever is in the meal plan for the week. My mother had a 300ltr frost free fridge. After 10 years it started giving problems and the service guy would do some repair and after 1 month again the same problem. Being a senior citizen and very frugal with less needs including food, she downscaled to a single door fridge. So far no issues for her. Touchwood
Hi Sreelakshmi! I should learn from you how to use the freezer optimally. I remember you had mentioned about blanching and storing veggies too in the past. My freezer is currently small and underutilized, but once I switch my fridge, want to make sure I use it optimally for storing for long term.
Hi Jay! Absolutely, great point! Unfortunately - majority of budget ones are 2/3 star. So it one is on a budget of upfront cost, may need to go for a lower star rating.
In 2021, we mostly get 3 star refrigerators only in the budget section. The thing about ratings is that the testing standards keep getting stricter year on year. So 2021's 3 star fridge (250 units per year) would be much more energy efficient than a 2010's 5 star fridge (400 units per year). The key is to look at units consumed per year, which is mentioned under the star ratings.
@@bryandsouza9182 This is the biggest drawback of Indian society. Indian want cheap product as compare to good quality products and that's the main reason that Chinese market influence increasing day by day. You have to pay approx 1000 RS more to buy 5 star rather than 3 star and you can cover it in a one or two years by saving more electricity. And Rest years is your savings. So always selecting budget product is not a good option.
Hi mam I became regular follower of your videos these days.. currently I am in search of water purifier which should be good in taste and highly good for health... We have a RO plant in our apartment and used to get ro water every morning 1hr but water taste not upto the mark.. hence suggest me a water purifier which can be filled by my apartment ro water manually and get good taste of water in the end
Hi Mohammed, if you are getting RO water that you want to adjust for taste and alkaline content - you can consider getting an alkaline pitcher like this amzn.to/3ee7oEE. It is not a complete purifier, just adjusts the water ph level. If you want a full RO water purifier - you can check the links in this video ua-cam.com/video/WCsfItV8WRI/v-deo.html
Informative video, with many offices starting work from office - once a week policy,many would be returning to cities like Mumbai.Since many young working professionals as bachelors opt for unfurnished house's,could you please create a video on similar lines.That would be really helpful !
All ur videos r excellent! Your subscribers should have increased significantly but I suggest u if possible do videos in Hindi also . Any way good luck to u Is there video on washer n dryer? If it’s pl provide me link. I want to buy only dryer. Does it dry as right to keep in cupboard?
Hi Vaijayanti! Thank you so much :) If only I was fluent in Hindi, I could do that too :D I have a video on combo washer dryer, but not on dryer alone. You can find them in this playlist - both comparison and demo. ua-cam.com/play/PLGsPKowWX0xh7D2T0hMAKZ4QNoV21X-8G.html . From a dryer alone, Bosch and IFB are the ones that have it - if you are considering purchasing one.
Nice videos , sorted content , youtuber should learn from you how to give correct information , they best video of yours was on hobs, i am now a days on edge on planning a new house , daily i see 1 video of yours related to home appliances
Thanks a lot for the video. Found it very useful. One question.. Have u personally used all the mentioned products of the said brands and found them to be good?
Hi Reshma! I have used most of them - I use an elica chimney, use a samsung fridge for last 10-12 years, used samsung washing machine also for 10+ years, now using the dryer, using a Faber dishwasher. Either me or friends / family have used these products 😊
Hi Santhosh - A3 Tarr is good but has some limitations - which I cover in this video ua-cam.com/video/5cWNb1XW1dY/v-deo.html. If those are OK, you can go with the McTuring A3 Tarr.
We get borewell water in my area, but I feel very guilty about the water wastage caused by my RO filter. Even though I try and catch a lot of the 'wasted' water in a bucket and use it to water the plants etc., we cannot utilize all of it. :(
Hi @Writers Inc - that's the issue with RO. Unfortunately even the new ones where they say they save water expects that water to be sent back to the overhead tank (for use for flushing and stuff) - which means that it requires the entire plumbing to be changed.
Dishwasher doubt... Almost all brands, 12/13/14/15 place dishwashers have almost same dimensions, 60*60*85cms. With a very slight difference. Seems more like the width of the plate racks is adjusted or something. Isn't it just ridiculous that the overall space etc remains same and just minor change in rack dimensions and the price difference is humongous... The 15 place dishwashers have a cutlery rack on top but the total height remains same, so it seems more like the top rack space is reduced.
Hi Anil! That's absolutely true and a question I wondered about too. From what I've seen, the inside racks in the 12 place setting (Bosch) are smaller compared to the 14 place setting (Faber) that I use. I have not measured it, maybe I will next time I visit relatives. While they don't call out the dimensions explicitly - I think this is one of the differentiator. And yes, the top tray too is useful - that itself saves the space in the cutlery rack which you may have had to store in the bottom or middle shelf
Ma'am please tell that Bosch WAJ2846SIN model can dry clothes which are ready to wear ? Or other washer dryer combo is required of 8kg capacity ...... Please reply...
I have same voltas beko 8 plates dishwasher, Which I bought it 10months before, now I am planning to resale the same since I got maid help , for your information it is in a very good condition, almost 4 months we kept it un used, ping me if anyone interested
Hi Thaslim! thank you :) I recommend you try to upload it on Facebook marketplace - whenever I have tried to sell something there, it goes away in no time.
Hi @ago! Just want youtube algorithm to be influenced by like-dislike, hoping viewers form their own opinions 😊 timestamps always! As I myself use it a lot when I watch other people’s videos 😁
Usually it is the bride's parents who 'gift' everything to the new couple. I still remember how my in-laws wanted separate things for their village house, and separate things for where my husband and I were to live. SMH
@@drblitzkreig Yeah... we had specifically looked for a family that would not take dowry. But we found no one. There was absolutely no one who was willing to get married without a dowry. So then we had to modify our criteria.
