Quietest refrigerator rating for 2022

The main task of the refrigerator is to provide people with fresh products, leaving them in an edible state for a long time. It is a unit of various sizes, in the chamber of which a given temperature regime is maintained for cooling or freezing perishable products. An indispensable kitchen helper in all places where people are constantly present. The best manufacturers never cease to amaze their admirers with a variety of popular models that differ not only in the average price, but also in characteristics, functionality, parameters, number of doors and body color. However, they all perform the same task - keep food fresh.

What are refrigerators

There are many types of refrigerators. It is worth highlighting the main ones:

Kinds	Description
Mini	Single-chamber, miniature sizes. The freezer is located inside the refrigerator compartment. Often installed in hotels, hotels, small kitchens, compact apartments. Doesn't take up a lot of free space. The weight is small. They belong to the budget category. You can buy from 5000 rubles.
Classic	Models stand alone. The number of cameras is two. According to buyers, the most popular and comfortable. The question of where to buy them is not worth it. They are sold both in specialized outlets and in online stores. But before ordering a product online, it is worth reviewing user reviews and making sure that the supplier is honest.
For wine storage	Special accessories for gourmets. Small sizes. The main purpose is to provide wines with optimal storage conditions at home or in the office. Bottle storage type - horizontal.Available with additional functions: temperature setting, carbon filters to eliminate odors.
Embedded	They are divided into such subgroups: fully embedded and partially embedded. They help create an ergonomic space in a small kitchen. Often require a professional design solution.
Chests (lari)	A distinctive feature of popular models is the ability to place a huge number of products for freezing. Installation requires a lot of free space. What to look for in order to avoid mistakes when choosing? It is very difficult to get products placed on the bottom. You have to take almost the entire contents of the chest out, and then put it back.
Without freezer	In most cases, they are purchased for installation in country cottages, when there is no particular need for a freezer.
Mini bar	It differs from a mini-refrigerator in that as soon as its door is slightly opened, the shelf on which drinks and snacks are located begins to slide out. Often found in hotels in expensive rooms.
Cabinet - freezer	Designed exclusively for freezing food. Not used as a refrigerator. They are in great demand among those who gather fruits and vegetables in their own garden in the summer and freeze them in large quantities for the winter.

Refrigerators also differ in appearance. Among the huge variety are:

1. Multi-door. The number of doors is three or four. Very comfortable, roomy and practical models. Parameters are similar to classical counterparts.
2. side by side. Refrigerator and freezer are nearby. Opening two doors allows you to see the contents of both vaults. The doors swing open from the middle in different directions.
3. Single chamber.These include mini models. The door is one, and there are two chambers, i.e. the freezer is located inside the refrigerator and is a kind of niche.
4. No Frost. Defrosting the freezer does not require human intervention. This can be appreciated by women who have to spend a lot of free time to put the refrigerator in order by defrosting and washing it.
5. Two-chamber. The freezer and refrigerator are located separately from each other, more often the refrigerator is on top, and the freezer is on the bottom.

Which is better to buy

Everyone has different selection criteria. Which company is better to buy depends on personal preferences. But in order not to waste money, you need to understand for yourself what groups of devices are, how they differ from each other, and which option suits you best. Characteristics, including certain temperature conditions and the climate class of the freezer, are of great importance. To choose the right refrigerator group, just pay attention to the number of stars:

1. The absence of badges on the body - the internal temperature - 6 degrees below zero. It is undesirable to store products for a long time. They can not only lose taste, but also become unusable.
2. One star - freezing temperature - below 6 degrees below zero. The shelf life of products is about 20 days.
3. Two stars - temperature from 12 degrees below zero. Storage time - up to 3 months.
4. Three stars - at 18 degrees of frost, the products will not lose their properties during the year.
5. Four snowflakes - quick freeze function maximizes shelf life.

Equally important is the presence of a zone of freshness, popularly referred to as "zero". This chamber is designed to store perishable products, while maintaining their original taste and useful properties.There are two types:

• wet (for greens, berries and fruits);
• dry (for poultry, meat, seafood and fish).

Experts recommend paying attention to such additional features:

• natural air exchange;
• air circulation;
• forced blow.

The question of how to choose the right one is asked by all buyers. The main points that should not be overlooked when buying a product:

1. Has an antibacterial coating. Almost all popular novelties from well-known world manufacturers are covered with the thinnest ceramic layer with silver ions. It prevents bacteria from multiplying and molds from appearing. Air filters are installed as additional protection.
2. Energy class. Important for those who are not ready to pay large amounts for consumed electricity. Designations are located on the case. It was previously marked with letters from A to G, today it is the letters A + and A ++. The exact amount of consumed kW / h is determined in the documents for the product. Marking allows the buyer to navigate the main characteristics of the product.
3. Super cooling and freezing speed. The higher the indicators, the better the product remains, and its enzymatic qualities, bacteriological and ecological purity do not change.
4. Noise level. Many buyers put this indicator at the forefront. Quietness is mainly ensured by a modern and perfect compressor. However, there are other sources of noise as well. These include sounds from refrigerant overflow, clicks from the automatic mode of operation of the device, fan operation.

Two types of controls are available:

• electronic (sensor or buttons);
• mechanical (manual controls).

The first option is more modern and convenient, but expensive. Provides control, including from a smartphone. However, it is afraid of voltage drops and can quickly fail.

Models of several types of defrosting are produced. In the presence of a drip system, the rear wall thaws periodically, condensate droplets flow down, enter the drainage system and evaporate in a bowl located on top of the compressor. This appliance is recommended to be defrosted no more than twice a year. With the NoFrost system installed, the back wall is always dry. The chamber is filled with cold air thanks to the fan.

Silent device selection rules

Today, everyone seeks to purchase a silent refrigerator. This is especially true for small-sized housing and studio apartments. Devices cannot be completely silent. However, all manufacturers are struggling to reduce the level of noise emitted. The optimal indicator is from 30 to 40 dB. It is comparable to a low human voice. The value is indicated in the documents attached to the product.

It should be borne in mind that the noise level depends on the number of compressors. The more of them, the louder the sound of the operating device.

A quiet refrigerator in the house is always a godsend. It does not interfere with rest, does not distract from important matters, does not irritate with its constant hum and clicks, does not prevent people with light sleep from sleeping peacefully.
