Dawlance Avante+ vs WB-Chrome vs Graze+: Which Series Should You Buy?
Dawlance has several refrigerator series aimed at different types of buyers, and Avante+, WB-Chrome and Graze+ are three names you will come across when comparing its double-door models. They may look similar in a showroom, but the differences become more important once you compare compressor technology, cooling features, storage and price.
The practical question is simple: is the extra money for Avante+ or Graze+ actually justified over WB-Chrome? That depends on what you expect from your refrigerator and how much you want to spend.
Lahore Centre carries models from these Dawlance ranges, making it possible to compare them based on actual models rather than choosing only by the series name. In this guide, we will look at their technology, cooling, storage, electricity use, features, family size and price to help you decide which option fits your home.
These models fall within the wider category of Dawlance Top Mount Refrigerators, where the freezer sits above the main refrigerator compartment. The layout is familiar to Pakistani households, but the technology and specifications can vary considerably from one model to another.
Dawlance Avante+ vs WB-Chrome vs Graze+: What's the Difference?
The biggest mistake when comparing these three series is assuming that every model within a series has exactly the same specifications. Dawlance offers multiple model numbers, capacities and configurations, so features such as inverter technology, cooling systems and storage can vary.
Here is a quick starting point:

So, the difference isn't simply about appearance. WB-Chrome can make sense when keeping the initial price under control is the priority, while Avante+ and Graze+ bring additional features and inverter options on relevant models.
That is why the exact model number matters. Before comparing prices, check the compressor type, capacity, cooling technology, energy rating and included features.
Dawlance WB-Chrome Refrigerator — What Do You Get?
WB-Chrome Design and Storage
WB-Chrome models are designed around the familiar double-door refrigerator layout, with the freezer positioned above the fresh-food compartment. The metallic finishes give them a modern appearance without moving into the more premium styling of some higher-end models.
Storage depends on the model you choose. You will find different capacities within the range, so a WB-Chrome refrigerator can suit a smaller household as well as a family that needs more refrigerator space.
For Pakistani homes, the layout is practical because frequently used food items remain in the lower refrigerator section while frozen food and ice stay in the upper freezer.
Is WB-Chrome Inverter or Non-Inverter?
This is where you need to be careful with the series name. Not every Chrome model should be treated as having the same compressor technology.
For example, the 9169WB Chrome is listed as a non-inverter refrigerator. A conventional compressor operates differently from an inverter compressor, generally switching its cooling cycle rather than continuously adjusting its operating speed according to cooling demand.
For a buyer focused on the initial purchase price, a non-inverter model can be worth considering if its capacity and features meet the household's requirements. You should still compare the specific model's energy rating and running requirements rather than assuming that a lower purchase price automatically means lower overall cost.
This is also why it would be misleading to label the entire WB-Chrome range as either “inverter” or “non-inverter.” Check the exact model before making your decision.
Who Should Consider WB-Chrome?
WB-Chrome can be a practical option for buyers who want a straightforward double-door refrigerator without paying extra for every available feature.
It may suit:
-
Budget-conscious families looking for a lower initial price.
-
Buyers who don't specifically require inverter technology.
-
Households that want a conventional top-mount refrigerator layout.
-
Smaller or medium-sized families, depending on the capacity of the selected model.
If your main priorities are reasonable price, adequate storage and straightforward operation, start by comparing the exact WB-Chrome model with similarly sized Avante+ and Graze+ models. The price difference becomes more meaningful when you can see exactly what additional features you are paying for.
Dawlance Avante+ Refrigerator - What Makes It Different?
The Avante+ series moves the focus beyond basic refrigeration by combining inverter technology with additional storage and food-preservation features on selected models. For buyers who use their refrigerator throughout the day and want better control over electricity consumption, these features can make the higher price worth considering.
Avante+ Inverter Technology
The main difference is the inverter compressor used in current Avante+ models. Instead of repeatedly switching between full operation and stopping, an inverter compressor can adjust its speed according to the refrigerator's cooling demand.
This can reduce unnecessary compressor cycling and may also result in quieter operation. The potential electricity saving depends on factors such as room temperature, door openings, food load and how the refrigerator is used, so it is better not to promise a fixed saving for every household.
Some current Avante+ models are also listed with an A++ energy rating, giving buyers another specification to consider when comparing electricity-focused models.
Avante+ Storage and Cooling Features
Avante+ isn't only about the compressor. Selected models add features aimed at making everyday food storage more practical.
Depending on the exact model, you may find:
-
10% more storage for accommodating more food.
-
40% bigger crisper for fruits and vegetables.
-
Nature Lock to help maintain freshness.
-
Vitamin Fresh technology for food preservation.
-
Power Cool Fan for improved circulation and cooling.
-
5-Way Evaporator on selected models for cooling distribution.
For example, the 9173WB Avante+ includes inverter technology, Nature Lock and Vitamin Fresh, along with expanded storage and crisper specifications. The exact feature combination should always be checked against the model number because Avante+ specifications can vary between models.
Who Should Consider Avante+?
Avante+ makes more sense for buyers who want more than basic refrigeration and are prepared to spend extra for additional technology.
It can suit:
-
Families looking for an inverter refrigerator.
-
Buyers who are conscious of long-term electricity consumption.
-
Households that need better food-storage and preservation features.
-
Buyers willing to pay more for additional features rather than choosing solely on initial price.
For a family that opens the refrigerator frequently throughout the day, the combination of inverter operation and useful storage features may be more relevant than simply choosing the cheapest available model.
Dawlance Graze+ Refrigerator — What Do You Get for the Extra Price?
Graze+ sits toward the more premium end of the Dawlance range. To understand what the extra price can bring, the 9193 Graze+ Gem Black available at Lahore Centre provides a useful real-world example.
Its feature set goes beyond basic cooling, with inverter technology, food-preservation features and a more premium control and exterior design.
Graze+ Design and Premium Features
The 9193 Graze+ Gem Black is a double-door, top-mount refrigerator with a feature set that includes:
-
Inverter technology
-
Nature Lock
-
Vitamin Fresh
-
Touch display
-
Power Cool Fan
-
A++ energy class
-
12-year compressor warranty
The combination gives Graze+ a more premium positioning than a basic refrigerator where the focus is primarily on storage and cooling.
However, the extra price should be judged against the features you will actually use. If you don't need touch controls, additional preservation features or a premium finish, a less expensive series may cover your requirements just as well.
Graze+ Storage and Family Use
Graze+ includes larger models such as the 9191 and 9193, making the series relevant for households that need more refrigerator space.
The larger models provide room for everyday groceries, drinks, prepared food and larger quantities of fresh produce. Multiple shelves, door pockets and a larger crisper can also make it easier to organize food rather than stacking everything into one compartment.
For a larger Pakistani family, capacity matters as much as the series name. Check the exact model's storage capacity before assuming that every Graze+ refrigerator offers the same amount of space.
Who Should Consider Graze+?
Graze+ can be considered by buyers who want a more premium refrigerator and are comfortable with the higher price.
It may suit:
-
Larger families that need more storage.
-
Buyers who prefer a premium exterior and interior design.
-
Households looking for inverter technology with additional features.
-
Buyers whose budget allows them to move into a higher-priced Dawlance model.
The important question isn't simply whether Graze+ has more features. It's whether those features and the additional storage justify the price difference for your household.
Avante+ vs WB-Chrome vs Graze+: Inverter Technology Compared
Inverter technology is one of the clearest areas where these series can differ, but the exact model number still matters.
Some WB-Chrome models use conventional compressor technology, while Avante+ and Graze+ models available in the current range include inverter configurations. An inverter compressor adjusts its operating speed according to cooling demand rather than following the same simple start-stop pattern of a conventional compressor.
That can be useful for households where the refrigerator runs continuously in Pakistan's warm climate. But electricity consumption is influenced by many factors, so comparing two refrigerators only by the word “inverter” isn't enough.

If electricity efficiency is your priority, compare an inverter Avante+ or Graze+ model with the specific WB-Chrome model you are considering. Look at its energy rating, compressor type, capacity and price rather than assuming that the more expensive series will automatically produce a particular monthly saving.
The price difference also matters. If the extra amount is substantial, calculate whether the features and expected usage justify paying more upfront instead of relying on a general claim about inverter savings.
Which Series Has Better Cooling Features?
The three series use different combinations of cooling and food-preservation technologies, so it is more useful to compare the features than to simply say one series cools better.
Also, keep the exact model number in mind. Dawlance can offer different technologies and specifications within the same series.
WB-Chrome
WB-Chrome models can use conventional/direct cooling, depending on the model. Some models may also use hybrid cooling configurations.
This makes WB-Chrome more focused on straightforward refrigeration. If you are comparing two similarly sized models, check the individual cooling system rather than judging the entire Chrome series by one model's specifications.
Avante+
Avante+ adds several food-preservation and cooling features on selected models.
These can include:
-
Vitamin Fresh for helping preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables.
-
Nature Lock for maintaining suitable conditions for stored produce.
-
5-Way Evaporator on selected models for distributing cooling through multiple points.
-
Power Cool Fan to improve air circulation inside the refrigerator.
These features are particularly relevant if you store fresh vegetables, fruits and other groceries for several days. However, their availability depends on the exact Avante+ model.
Graze+
Graze+ also combines cooling and food-preservation features on relevant models, including:
-
Vitamin Fresh
-
Nature Lock
-
Power Cool Fan
-
Touch controls on relevant models
The touch controls mainly affect how you interact with the refrigerator; they don't by themselves mean that the refrigerator provides better cooling. Look at the actual cooling technology and specifications when comparing models.
Overall, Avante+ and Graze+ offer more feature-focused configurations on selected models, while WB-Chrome can provide a simpler setup. The exact model specification should always be checked before making a comparison.
Which Dawlance Series Gives You More Storage?
Storage is one area where the model capacity matters more than the series name. A larger WB-Chrome can have more usable space than a smaller Avante+ or Graze+ model, so don't choose a series first and capacity second.
When comparing refrigerators, look beyond the headline capacity. Check the refrigerator compartment, freezer space, number of shelves, door pockets and crisper size.
For a practical starting point:
-
3–4 people: A medium-capacity refrigerator may be sufficient for normal grocery requirements.
-
5–6 people: Consider larger models across Avante+, WB-Chrome and Graze+.
-
Large family: Look at higher-capacity models, including 18–20 CFT options where available.
Crisper size can also make a noticeable difference for Pakistani households that regularly buy vegetables and fruit in larger quantities. Some Avante+ models, for example, advertise a larger crisper, but you should check the exact model's specification rather than assuming the feature applies to the entire series.
The best approach is to estimate how much food your household normally stores, then compare models with similar capacity. That gives you a fairer comparison between the three series.
Which Series Uses Less Electricity?
The compressor type is an important factor, but it isn't the only thing that determines how much electricity a refrigerator uses.
An inverter refrigerator can adjust compressor speed according to cooling demand instead of repeatedly operating at one fixed speed and switching off. This can reduce unnecessary cycling and may improve energy efficiency during normal use.
Actual electricity consumption also depends on:
-
Inverter vs non-inverter compressor
-
Compressor running pattern
-
Refrigerator size
-
Room temperature
-
How frequently the doors are opened
-
Amount of food stored
-
Temperature setting
-
Everyday usage habits
This is particularly important in Pakistan, where refrigerator performance is affected by high summer temperatures. A refrigerator placed in a very hot kitchen and opened frequently will have different energy requirements from the same model operating in a cooler environment with fewer door openings.
Avante+ and Graze+ inverter models may therefore appeal to buyers who prioritise electricity efficiency, while a non-inverter WB-Chrome model can offer a lower initial purchase price.
But don't assume that paying more for an inverter refrigerator guarantees a specific monthly saving. Compare the exact models, energy ratings, capacity and purchase prices before deciding whether the additional upfront cost makes sense for your household.
Dawlance Avante+ vs WB-Chrome vs Graze+: Price Difference
Price is one of the biggest differences between these Dawlance refrigerator series, but it shouldn't be the only thing you compare. A lower-priced model may use a conventional compressor, while a more expensive model can add inverter technology, different cooling features, larger storage or premium controls.
