5 tasks total
1
Pick the right chimney first
1 week
▼
Filterless auto-clean chimney from Faber, Elica, or Hindware. Suction 1200 m3/hr minimum for Indian cooking. Spend Rs 20-30K — cheaper ones fail in 2-3 years.
2
Buy a heavy-duty mixer-grinder
1 week
▼
Preethi Zodiac or Premier KFG3 — Indian masala grinding is brutal. Don't cheap out at Rs 3000-4000. Get the Rs 7-10K model.
3
Induction cooktop + cookware
1 week
▼
Prestige PIC 20 or Pigeon Cruise for induction. Stainless steel + induction-compatible cookware. Faster than LPG for daily cooking.
4
Microwave with grill
1 week
▼
LG MJ3286BFUM or IFB 25BC4. Convection microwaves are underused — they bake, grill, and reheat in 1 appliance.
5
Right-sized refrigerator
1 week
▼
3-4 people: 250-280L. 5-6 people: 300-380L. Bigger isn't better — energy bills scale linearly with capacity.
