What new products have you introduced for Eid-ul-Adha?

We’ve launched seven new refrigerator models ahead of Eid, featuring cutting-edge technologies like IoT and AI. Highlights include a smart fridge with an 8-in-1 convertible mode, Dolby sound, and a 21.5-inch Android display, as well as a three-door model with a built-in AI Doctor feature. Other models include inverter-based reversible door options, water dispenser variants, semi-no-frost models with digital controls, and stylish new freezers. These innovations reflect Walton’s leadership in bringing world-class smart refrigeration technology to Bangladeshi homes.

Tell us about the key technologies, features, and benefits of Walton’s new fridge models.

Walton’s new Eid lineup includes smart refrigerators packed with advanced features at competitive prices. The standout is a 620-litre ‘Multimedia Hub’ model with a 21.5-inch Android display, stereo sound, and internet access—perfect for streaming, browsing, and even online grocery shopping. It comes with metal and duo cooling, MSO Plus inverter tech that adjusts cooling based on the room temperature, and customisable compartments to reduce electricity use while keeping food fresh and germ-free.

Another highlight is the 560-litre three-door smart fridge, equipped with dual temperature control, turbo cooling modes, and the unique ‘AI Doctor’ system that detects issues, attempts automatic fixes, and alerts the nearest service centre if needed. With AIoT, users can control the fridge remotely via smartphone.

Additional models include reversible-door fridges (308L and 343L), a 268L water dispenser model, a 348L semi-no-frost model, and a sleek 210L freezer—all featuring energy-saving inverter tech. These fridges use UV-C light and Intelligent Germ Terminator tech to eliminate bacteria and odours, while smart touch controls allow access without opening the door.

Despite high-end features, Walton’s prices remain accessible. For example, while similar multimedia fridges from other brands cost over Tk300,000, Walton offers theirs at around Tk200,000.

How far ahead is Walton in producing energy-efficient and eco-friendly refrigerators compared to competitors?  

Producing environmentally friendly, energy-saving fridges is our top priority. Walton fridges utilise MSO Plus inverter technology based on AIoT to optimise cooling with minimal energy use according to external temperature. We were the first in Bangladesh to produce fridges certified with BSTI’s 5-star energy rating. Walton has also led internationally in phasing out harmful CFC and HCFC gases through joint initiatives with the Department of Environment and UNDP. As a result, carbon emissions have significantly reduced. Our current models use globally recognised eco-friendly gases like R600a and R290, contributing to both environmental conservation and efficient electricity usage.

Walton offers the widest range of designs, sizes, and smart features, backed by South Asia’s one of the largest research team. Our fridges are built to handle diverse climates across Bangladesh, making them extra durable. Every model undergoes over 70 quality tests before release. With sizes from 50 to 660 litres and a strong ISO-certified service network nationwide, Walton’s reliability has earned us the ‘Best Brand Award’ 11 years in a row.

How is Walton advancing fridge technology through research and innovation?

Walton invests heavily in research, innovation, and automation at one of the largest Research and Innovation Centre in South Asiain, located in Gazipur, with experts from Bangladesh and abroad. Thanks to this team, Walton leads in AIoT fridge technology, making Bangladesh the first in South Asia to produce French-door fridges and the world’s first to make 8-in-1 convertible side-by-side refrigerators—putting Bangladesh on the global map for smart fridge production.

How affordable are Walton fridges for middle- and lower-income families?

What used to be a luxury is now within reach for many, thanks to Walton’s commercial production since 2008. Even with rising costs from currency issues and imports, Walton keeps prices controlled to ensure fridges stay affordable, always putting customer satisfaction first.
