- Unique Properties
- Whirlpool NeoFresh refrigerator range is a perfect blend of contemporary design with highly relevant regional innovations keeping the consumer at the core.
The 6th Sense Deepfreeze Technology features full circular air flow in the Freezer compartment. This prevents cold air from escaping when the freezer door is opened.
Scientifically designed air tower and strategically placed vents that let out cool and fresh air into different sections of the refrigerator providing uniform cooling for long lasting freshness.
Now you don't have to navigate between different food items and re-arrange them to pick up something. With the easy glide movement of the "everyday fresh" tray, accessing things even at the back and the corner becomes quick and easy.
Integrated at the bottom of the freshflow air tower, the effective anti-odor action of Active deo keeps the refrigerator environment fresh and odour-free. - Dimensions & Packaging

The organisation has conducted Market visits and Consumer home visits across various social and economic segments throughout the country to get an in-depth understanding of the customer behaviour pattern and usage scenarios. We have also conducted Focus Group Discussions and Online Surveys to reach a wider audience to obtain feedback and insights.
