Air Conditioners: Why Not Now
The TCL 1.5 ton AC is listed at ₹31,990, down to ₹31,640 – a mere ₹350 off, hardly a sale.
The Helium 0.8 ton at ₹21,990 is a genuine 45% cut, but 0.8 ton only suits a small bedroom, and Helium has a limited service footprint.
August isn't the best month for AC deals. The deepest discounts come in January and February when demand is low.
Also, installation slots in peak season can be two weeks out. If your AC isn't broken or urgent, wait.
Microwave: A Modest but Reasonable Deal
The IFB 30 L convection microwave at ₹15,690 (19% off) isn't a huge discount, but convection ovens rarely go much cheaper.
The 30 L size fits large containers and cake tins. It's a reasonable buy if you're replacing a solo microwave.

The Short Version
- Washing machine: Haier 8 kg at ₹25,440 if service is available in your area; otherwise, Bosch 9 kg at ₹30,890.
- Fridge: Choose size based on your household, not the discount. Check the star rating before the percentage.
- AC: Wait for winter.
An additional 10% HDFC card discount applies on top, and no-cost EMI is available on most items, which is significant on an ₹80,000 fridge.
