Some of our favourite picks from the sale include:

(a) Air Conditioners

The LG 1-ton 5-star rated split AC at Rs. 25,990 (MRP Rs. 33,490). If have a small sized room that doesn't need a large air conditioner, and need something energy efficient, this AC will fit right in. The LG 1-ton split AC also comes with an anti-bacteria filter, and an auto restart feature. The cost of installation and a stabiliser will be extra, and will need to be paid to the installation guy directly.
