Best Side-by-Side Refrigerators in India (2026)
Best side-by-side refrigerators from ₹58,240 to ₹1,04,990 — ranked on cooling tech, capacity, efficiency, and build. 7 picks from Godrej, Haier, LG, and Samsung.
Side-by-side refrigerators split vertically — freezer on the left, fridge on the right — giving you 550–660L of total capacity. They're the go-to for large Indian families (5–8 members) who need massive storage but don't want the premium pricing of French door models.
The key advantage over French door: side-by-side models are narrower (typically 90cm wide vs 90–100cm for French door), fitting into tighter kitchen spaces. The trade-off: individual shelves are narrower, so large platters and party trays may not fit.
We evaluated seven models from Godrej, Haier, LG, and Samsung — all available on Amazon.in — covering the ₹58,000 to ₹1,05,000 range.

The water and ice dispenser with auto-fill is a convenience feature that few competitors offer at this price. Wi-Fi with SmartThings lets you monitor temperature remotely.

LG 650L Wi-Fi Convertible Side-by-Side GLB257DBM3
The LG 650L Wi-Fi is the latest 2025 model with ThinQ app control for remote monitoring and diagnosis.

LG 655L Frost-Free Smart Inverter Side-by-Side GL-B257HDSY
The LG 655L GL-B257HDSY is the best value side-by-side — the largest capacity (655L) at the second-lowest price (₹85,990). No frills: no Wi-Fi, no convertible modes, no ice dispenser. But the Smart Inverter compressor is proven, Multi Air Flow ensures even cooling, and Express Freeze makes ice quickly in summers. LG's service network is unmatched. If you want maximum storage for minimum spend, this is it.

LG 650L Smart Inverter Side-by-Side Refrigerator GL-B257HDS3
The LG 650L GL-B257HDS3 sits between the budget 655L and the premium Wi-Fi model. You get Door Cooling+ (faster cooling from door vents) and convertible modes that the cheaper GL-B257HDSY lacks. No Wi-Fi, but for ₹4,000 less than the Wi-Fi model, you get most of the same cooling performance. At ₹89,990, it's excellent value for a feature-rich SBS with LG's service backing.
Pros
- +Door Cooling+ for faster cooling from door vents
- +Convertible modes for flexible storage
- +650L capacity for large families
- +LG reliability with 10-year warranty
- +Express Freeze for rapid ice making
- +₹3,000 cheaper than Wi-Fi model
Cons
- -No Wi-Fi — manual monitoring only
- -No water/ice dispenser

- -Limited premium features vs Samsung at similar price
Score Breakdown
The mid-range LG sweet spot — Door Cooling+ and convertible modes at ₹90K, with LG's unmatched service. Skip the Wi-Fi premium if you don't need remote monitoring.
LG 655L Smart Inverter Side by Side Refrigerator GL-B257HWBY
The LG 655L GL-B257HWBY is the cheapest LG side-by-side with Wi-Fi and ThinQ app. At ₹74,990 for 655L, the value proposition is strong. You get the same Smart Inverter compressor and Multi Air Flow as the pricier LG models. The Western Black finish looks sleek. Express Freeze handles summer ice demands. The trade-off vs the ₹85,990 model: this is an older design with fewer convertible options.
Pros
- +655L capacity at ₹74,990 — best price for LG SBS
- +Wi-Fi with ThinQ app for remote monitoring
- +Smart Inverter with 10-year warranty
- +Multi Air Flow for uniform cooling
- +Express Freeze for quick ice
- +Tempered glass shelves for durability
Cons
- -Not convertible unlike newer LG models
- -Western Black finish shows fingerprints
- -Wi-Fi connectivity occasionally drops
- -No water/ice dispenser
Score Breakdown
The cheapest way to get LG side-by-side quality with Wi-Fi. If you don't need convertible modes, this saves ₹11K–18K over newer LG models.
Godrej 600L AI-Powered Eon Velvet Side by Side Refrigerator
The Godrej 600L is the most affordable side-by-side refrigerator in India by a wide margin — ₹16,000 cheaper than the next option. The AI-powered cooling learns your usage patterns and optimizes energy over 2–3 weeks. The Smart Convertible zone adjusts between -3°C and 5°C. The Opera Rose toughened glass finish makes a visual statement. Godrej's 3-year comprehensive warranty (1+2 additional) provides extra peace of mind. The trade-off: Godrej's service network is smaller than LG/Samsung, and the AI features need a learning period.
Pros
- +Cheapest SBS by ₹16,000+ — unbeatable entry price
- +AI-powered cooling adapts to usage patterns
- +Smart Convertible zone (-3°C to 5°C)
- +Beautiful Opera Rose toughened glass finish

Haier 598L 3-Door Vogue Side by Side Refrigerator HRT-683GOG-P
The Haier 598L Vogue is the most unique side-by-side here — a 3-door configuration with a center compartment for snacks and beverages. The 83% convertible fridge space allows flexible temperature control from -18°C to 5°C. The Grey Onyx Glass finish is the most premium-looking in this lineup. Expert Inverter Technology ensures quiet, efficient operation. The trade-off: at ₹1.05L, it's the most expensive SBS here, and Haier's service network is weaker than LG/Samsung.
Pros
- +Unique 3-door design with center beverage compartment
- +83% convertible space — most flexible SBS
- +Grey Onyx Glass — most premium finish in the segment
- +Expert Inverter for silent operation

Not sure which type of refrigerator is right for you?
Side-by-side not the only option — double door, French door, and single door fridges serve different needs and budgets.
Refrigerator Buying Guide →→Frequently Asked Questions
For large families (5+), yes. Side-by-side offers 550–660L vs 250–380L for double door. Both fridge and freezer are at full height, so you don't bend for frequently used items. The trade-off: side-by-side shelves are narrower (can't fit large platters), and they cost 2–3x more than double door. If you're a family of 3–4, double door is more practical and affordable.
The Godrej 600L Eon Velvet at ₹58,240 is the cheapest side-by-side worth buying. It offers AI-powered cooling, a smart convertible zone, and a 3-year warranty. The next cheapest is the LG 655L at ₹74,990 with Wi-Fi and ThinQ.
It's convenient but not essential. Only the Samsung 633L (₹89,999) in this list has a built-in water and ice dispenser. The dispenser requires periodic filter replacement (₹500–1,000 per filter). If you already have a water purifier and don't use much ice, skip it and save.
LG has the best track record for side-by-side models in India — the widest service network, proven Smart Inverter compressors, and consistent build quality across 4 models in this roundup. Samsung's 633L is the feature leader but service is inconsistent outside metros.
