Our today's review will be devoted to a very important topic for every family - the choice of a refrigerator. Is it worth talking about its importance in every kitchen?!
The choice of this kitchen appliances should be taken seriously, because this is a purchase not for a week or a month, but for several years. Refrigerators today are more advanced than they were, say, 30 years ago. The latest technology among domestic refrigeration equipment is inverter. What it is? How is it different from the usual? What advantages and disadvantages does it have? We will answer these questions in this article.

Almost every one of us knows how the refrigerator works, because the mechanism of operation has not been changed for almost a century. And the basic principle is that every model has a piping system. A special substance called refrigerant circulates inside them, it is he who creates cooling inside the refrigerator.
Time does not stand still, and manufacturers are constantly working to increase efficiency, provide more reduced noise levels. All this entails the improvement of compressors. The classic model of a compressor is a linear cooler. He was replaced by an inverter.
This compressor is understood as the main unit of the refrigerator, which is responsible for the parameters that we discussed above. Now consider the principle of the compressor we are considering. As soon as the user sets up the settings and turns on the equipment, it reaches the modes that have been programmed in a short period of time.
Pros:
Speaking about the shortcomings, we note, perhaps, a couple of the most basic ones. The cost of such samples is an order of magnitude higher than the linear ones. They are capricious to the voltage of electricity, or rather, to its differences. If this happens, the equipment may fail.
Here are a few key points that distinguish one type of refrigerator from another. And so, as we have already found out, a more advanced type of compressor is quieter, more economical in terms of electricity consumption, the savings are about 15-20%.
Linear type, when the set temperature is reached, it turns off, advanced - it works to maintain it all the time.
Consider below the top models.
Let's start with the most expensive sample, its cost. 142,900 rubles. Perfectly fit into the interior in a modern style. But at the same time, you need to keep in mind that it takes up enough space. This must be taken into account when zoning the kitchen.
The refrigerator is three-chamber, each of which has glass shelves. The chambers are closed by 4 doors, one of which has a display. It has control buttons. The presence of two compressors allows you to set an individual temperature in each chamber. This is actually very good, because it is likely to keep the freshness of fruits and vegetables longer. All doors close tightly, maintaining tightness.
The refrigerator has one very interesting function, which is called "Vacation". The technician understands this command as follows: the doors will not open for a long time, which means that there will be no loss of cold, which means that the temperature can be adjusted somewhat, which the system does automatically.
The sample supports the NoFrost function, it allows you not to defrost the model. The lowest temperature here reaches the mark: - 24 degrees.You can freeze food up to 18 kilograms per day.
Along with all its individual features, the refrigerator has a very large mass - 145 kilograms and a large amount of electricity consumed.
Large volume of the refrigerator, namely 410 liters;
Its cost is 76,000 rubles. This sample differs from its counterparts in that it works using Twin Cooling Plus technology. What does it give? With its help, an optimal temperature regime and humidity level are created inside the refrigerator both in the freezer and in the refrigerator. Here is not the traditional arrangement of doors, here they are double doors. But what is characteristic, there is no mixing of odors between zones.
Let's move on to an overview of the parameters. The dimensions here are quite impressive. 411 liters are assigned to the refrigerator compartment, and 236 liters to the freezer. Has several features:
This pattern is preferred by large families. Those who are used to filling the refrigerator with food for a week or even a month in advance.
This option costs 55,280 rubles.
If the previous version has three cameras, then this one has only two. Energy consumption is less, namely 174 kWh. This level corresponds to the A ++ class. Let's take a look at a few more interesting points about this model. The volume here is 361 liters. This is quite enough to store the products of an average family. Of all this, not a lot is allocated to the freezer, not a little, 101 liters. The volumes are distributed in such a way that it is enough to store food, meat, ready-made dishes in pots for an average family with two children.
Manufacturers have added to everything else the sound and color accompaniment of actions that are performed with the refrigerator. Those. when any of the doors open, the refrigerator will signal this. Also, an alarm will be given when a power failure is detected. By the way, speaking of work without electricity. If suddenly it happened that for some reason there is no light in the house or apartment, this technique can keep the cold inside for another whole day. This is admirable.
Thanks to the inverter compressor, this sample is considered the quietest of its class.
If in the previous version, the display for adjustment was available on the door, here it is inside.
The cost of this model is 52,500 rubles.
The copy is presented in white and will surely attract the attention of everyone with its appearance. Let's consider the functionality in more detail.
The display from which the setting is carried out is mounted on the door. There are indicator lights on it, the level of which can also be adjusted. The volume of the entire sample is 613 liters in total. These figures are distributed over two chambers: 394 liters and 219 liters. The volume of the freezer corresponds to a smaller indicator.
Great unit for a large family.
Two-chamber, large, capacity refrigerator. There is a top air supply, this feature is considered innovative. It ensures that the temperature set by the user is reached faster.
Above, we have already considered a sample of this manufacturer. Like a more expensive unit, this one can allow its user to control settings remotely using a special application. Note that not only settings can be controlled remotely, but also monitoring of the state of the unit. In view of this, you can beware of possible malfunctions.
The entire volume of the model is 384 liters. 107 liters are allocated to the freezer. Normal capacity for a family of 4 people.
There are two compartments where humidity is regulated. They are intended for vegetables and fruits, as well as for fish and meat.
To summarize, this unit for your money, and this is 32,000 rubles, is quite a decent option with all the necessary functions. As for the disadvantages, we will consider them below.
The cost of the refrigerator is 22,000 rubles.
This one is distinguished from the cheapest copies by the presence of an inverter compressor. But that's not all there is to brag about. There is No Frost technology not in one chamber, as we saw in the previous version, but in two at once. But the cold without the support of the refrigerator's power supply from the mains, all in the same comparison, keeps a little less, namely, 18 hours.Although, this is also quite enough so that the products do not deteriorate.
The energy class here is A+. As for the volume, here it is 213 liters. The height of this technique is not large - 178 centimeters. When transporting and installing in a house or apartment, there should be no problems. There is even an option to transfer it in a conventional elevator.
The refrigerator compartment has four shelves and a drawer for storing vegetables. Shelves, by the way, are made of impact-resistant glass. The freezer with a volume of 98 liters is quite roomy.
Manufacturers took into account one important detail - doors. Or rather, that they can be outweighed. It is convenient when the dimensions or layout of the kitchen do not allow the refrigerator to be opened only in one specific direction.
As for noise, this model certainly works quieter than usual, but it cannot be called silent. Although, for its price, it fully justifies itself.
Today, modern models of refrigerators deprive their users of the obligation to defrost refrigerators. Those who remember this long and not particularly pleasant process will appreciate the No Frost function. It is she who assumes the automation of the defrosting process.
Let's take a look at a few care tips:
When choosing one or another model for acquisition, it is necessary to be guided, first of all, by how many people will use it, i.e. pay attention to capacity. We have presented different models that are suitable for both large families and small ones. The question remains only for the price and functionality.
We hope our review was helpful!
