Cooling and electricity
Both doors are insulated the same way inside. A glass door fridge does not cool better or worse; the compressor (inverter or not) decides the bill.
Looks and cleaning
- Glass: modern look, wipes clean, does not dent or rust. Dark glass shows fingerprints.
- Steel or metal: lower price, hides fingerprints in hairline finishes, can dent and, near the sea, can rust over time.
Which to choose
In Karachi and other humid places, glass is a good choice because it does not rust. Elsewhere it is mostly a matter of style and budget. See Glass Door Refrigerator Price in Pakistan.
