When choosing a refrigerator, everyone wants it to serve for a long time, not break down and work silently, while having a low cost. This can be said the main criteria by which the search is made suitable model. In addition, it is important that the purchased unit matches the color of the interior, is economical and comfortable to use. If you manage to find a model that satisfies these requirements, then you have really approached the issue of parameter analysis and best models. In this article, we will tell you how to choose a refrigerator for your home and which brand is durable in 2017. At the end of the article, a rating of the best refrigerators by price, quality and manufacturer will be provided, so we strongly recommend that you read to the end.

Main settings

First, let's take a brief look at the most important criteria choosing a refrigerator for the home. So, the first thing you should decide before buying is:

1. Equipment dimensions. There are one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and even six-chamber models. As a rule, each manufacturer has its own dimensions of products, however, all of them are close to standards and can differ from each other by no more than 5-10 cm. To choose the right dimensions for the refrigerator, you must first decide where it will be installed, after which measure this place with a tape measure and, based on the measurements obtained, select the appropriate option for height, width and depth. The most popular are two-chamber units, in which the freezer and refrigerator are similar. They are already followed by Side-by-Side, single-chamber, and then multi-chamber.
2. Camera Location. Everyone is accustomed to having a freezer on the bottom, but there are models with a top freezer. There are generally without it, so when choosing, pay attention to this moment. We also advise you to take into account the ratio of the chambers, it happens that the freezer is almost the same as the refrigerator. This is very convenient for those who want to pick up a device with a large freezer.
   
3. Useful volume. To choose the capacity of the refrigerator you need to know one simple thing- for two people, a device of 180 liters will be enough. For a family of 3 people, you can buy a 250-liter model, and if you have a large family (for 5-6 people), we recommend choosing a technique with a usable volume of 350 liters or more. Do not forget about the dimensions, the volume of the chamber directly affects the dimensions of the case.
   
4. Type of defrosting and freezing. We will not go into details, but only highlight the most important information for you. Freezing can be thermoelectric (silent), absorption (more noisy) and with the help of compressors (the most high level noise). In turn, defrosting can be manual (as before, disconnect the equipment from the network, wait for the cameras to defrost, then wash the walls and wipe dry), drip (moisture flows into the pan along the back wall) and No Frost (no frost) - auto-defrost . Most often, all customers find it difficult to decide which refrigerator is better to choose for the home - with drip defrosting or no frost. If you do not frequently defrost your device, we recommend choosing a more modern and reliable system No Frost. In turn, the drip system belongs to the economy class, so the equipment will cost less.
   
5. Climate class. The choice depends on the operating conditions of the unit, as well as the temperature in the region in which you are located. Most Popular climate classes are presented in the table below. You need to select the appropriate temperature range for your own conditions.
   
6. Energy class. If you want to choose an economical refrigerator for your home, pay attention to its energy class. The lowest class (i.e. economy class) is A+++ in 2017. Next in alphabetical order and the number of pluses are units with higher energy consumption (A ++, A +, A, B, etc.).
   
7. Functions. You must understand that the more multifunctional refrigerator you want to choose, the more you will have to pay accordingly. We recommend choosing the least “fancy” device for giving. But in an apartment or house, you can already spend money on a model that, in addition to standard functions (for example, temperature settings), has an open door indicator, super freezing, an ice maker, long-term food storage, quick cooling and freezing of food, antibacterial protection, etc.
   
8. Compressor type. In 2017, it is already better to choose a refrigerator with an inverter compressor, because. it is more economical, silent and also durable. The only thing is that the inverter is afraid, so you will additionally need to protect the equipment,.
   
9. Number of compressors. Inexpensive refrigerators have one compressor, better models have 2 compressors, which better themes, which is cheaper in terms of repair, more economical and also allows you to turn off one camera (for washing or something), while the second one will work.
   
10. Control method. Electromechanical control is more reliable and also cheaper. Electronic allows you to more accurately adjust the temperature regime, therefore it is better in terms of the comfort of using equipment. Most modern models are equipped with electronic control.
11. Noise level. One of the most important parameters, because almost everyone wants to choose a silent refrigerator and at the same time that it be inexpensive, but of high quality. In this regard, our recommendation, as experts, is to opt for equipment with a noise level below 40 dB. With this indicator, the device will work in quiet mode.

2. The seals around the perimeter of the door must be elastic, fit well when closed. Before choosing the option you like, make sure that there is no damage, otherwise you will encounter a problem such as.

5. Many models, especially from Liebherr, have the possibility of hanging the doors to the other side. Very convenient, especially when moving around the house.

Video how to choose the right refrigerator

Which refrigerator is better: drip or No Frost

To give you an idea of ​​what the technologies of drip defrosting and No Frost refrigerators mean, we will describe their pros and cons.

No frost system

Thanks to the “No frost” system (no frost), housewives do not have to regularly defrost the refrigerator, spending practically the whole day on it. Special fans are built into the refrigeration equipment, with the help of which the air inside the device continuously circulates. As a rule, the evaporator is located inside a special compartment located between the freezer and the refrigerator. Its mission is to support low temperature on the back wall. Air enters the evaporator from one point, cools there and exits to the other side, leaving frost on the evaporator. When the compressor stops, the frost begins to thaw - the water flows into a special tray located on the outside of the device above the compressor. The principle of operation is quite simple, however, very useful and necessary for a modern person.

Pros of No Frost

• thanks to the continuous circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment, the same temperature is maintained;
• in the freezer, food cools faster;
• continuous ventilation quickly restores the increased temperature after the doors have been opened.

Cons of No Frost

Despite the large number positive sides, nevertheless, the no frost system also has minor drawbacks that you should pay attention to:

• the “No frost” block takes up a lot of space, so the capacity of the refrigerator is reduced;
• a running fan consumes more electricity;
• noise is generated during operation of the fan;
• products will quickly weather, so they must be packed;
• refrigerators with such a system are more expensive.

The No Frost system made a splash at the time of its appearance. The absence of ice in the freezer and refrigerator compartments allows you to forget about defrosting. The only problem is the high cost. Some brands prefer to inflate the price, realizing how high consumer demand is. So not having to defrost is not always a good choice.

Refrigerator drip defrost system

The drip system built into the refrigerator independently regulates the amount of accumulated ice and is triggered when its content reaches its maximum. The principle of operation is quite simple. Behind the refrigerator is a special evaporator. Its task is to regularly cool the back wall, making it cooler than the rest. So the coldest place becomes a trap for moisture. There, the condensate settles and turns into small ice crystals. When the refrigerator stops working, the pieces of ice melt and turn into water. Drops flow into a small hole located inside the refrigerator. Then, through the drain hose, the liquid flows into a special reservoir (container), which is located outside on the back wall of the refrigerator. Often the reservoir is located directly above the compressor, which accelerates the evaporation of water due to its heat and cools the compressor itself.

Advantages of drip defrosting of the refrigerator

• ease of operation and low maintenance;
• silent operation;
• affordable price;
• great quality.

Cons of drip defrost

Unfortunately, today there is nothing ideal, therefore the drip system also has disadvantages:

• as a rule, it is necessary to defrost the freezer yourself;
• it is important to keep an eye on the outlet hose because it gets dirty over time. This makes it difficult for water to drain into the reservoir on the back of the appliance. Water accumulates inside. Its amount depends on the mode of operation, the temperature difference in the refrigerator and outside it, and can lead not only to high humidity, but also to the formation of "puddles" and spoilage of products.

The refrigerator drip defrost system is an improved automatic removal of ice and frost that may appear inside the equipment in the kitchen. Some buyers do not want to return to it, considering it a traditional waste of time. They are wrong, since the refrigerator works completely in automatic mode. At a certain moment, defrosting occurs, and the water that appears enters the sump, so the participation of the owner is not required.

Refrigerator Choice: Single Compressor or Dual Compressor

When deciding which refrigerator is better: single compressor or dual compressor, do not spend a lot of time comparing. The buyer sees the excellent technical characteristics of the models, but at the same time faces a high cost. It is difficult to compare price and quality if you do not understand what the main difference is. Installing an additional compressor increases the freezing speed, and also allows you to increase the total volume of the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For this reason, it is not always necessary for the family to have it. Most often in the house, the traditional model does its job well. It has sufficient performance for food storage.

Advantages of two-compressor refrigerators

1. Faster freezing of products in the refrigerator and freezer compartment, as each compartment has its own compressor.
2. When necessary, you can turn off the freezer and refrigerator separately. This can come in handy when defrosting or if you leave and leave only the freezer on.
3. Less load on each compressor during freezing.
4. If one fails, the second works.

Cons of two-compressor refrigerators

1. Higher power consumption.
2. With the simultaneous operation of two compressors, the noise is greater (of course, a lot depends on the compressors themselves).
3. Price. Let's compare refrigerators of the same manufacturer: two-compressor models will be more expensive than single-compressor ones.

Rating of the best refrigerators

Thinking about which brand is better to choose a refrigerator, the buyer immediately begins to compare numerous models. For simplicity, you can use our list of good refrigerators, built on the reviews of the owners. Since we made a selection this year, we will assume that this is the rating of refrigerators in 2016. Although this is not entirely correct, because refrigerators are released in different years, and manufacturers do not change the line of models as often as in other household appliances. We hope that the refrigerator you choose will be the best and will serve faithfully for many years.

Good inexpensive refrigerators (from 10,000 to 25,000 rubles)

Refrigerator Shivaki SHRF-90DP inexpensive and small

This is a small-sized (47.5 / 49.5 / 85.2) and budget (average price for Yandex Market from 12,190 rubles) option for a rented apartment. The unit weighs only 26 kg. Or for those who have a multi-colored headset in the kitchen: it consists of household appliances inherited from relatives as a present or on occasion. An interesting design allows you to combine a refrigerator with a bread maker, dishwasher, etc., and in several tiers - the small height of SHRF-90DP allows. Also, the doors, 2 pieces, open separately, which is very convenient. Spacious chambers (2 pcs.), The total volume of which is 88 liters - this is the most for a family of 3-4 people. The kit includes nice accessories for transforming the “filling”: glass shelves, a spatula, an egg holder, an ice mold, a box for vegetables, 3 pcs lattice shelves. Important features:

• economical consumption of electricity (A);
• noiselessness (40 dB);
• drip defrosting system only in the main chamber, the freezer will have to be defrosted manually. This explains the low price of the unit;
• Shivaki SHRF-90DP received 22 out of 28 positive reviews from users and a final score of 4.0 out of 5.

Customer review of Shivaki SHRF-90DP

I recommend Shivaki SHRF-90DP as a powerful and capacious unit for freezing anything. At first I was very surprised that the manufacturer was domestic and the design was unusual: you wouldn’t say it was a refrigerator, because it was stylized as a nightstand. We put it in the living room, and its small size is a big plus here: it stands in the corner. If the appearance was classic, it would look like a foreign body, and so - a mini-bar. Not without flaws, of course: at first an ice “fur coat” formed on the back wall of the refrigeration chamber, but after a while it melted, apparently everything went back to normal. And no more complaints. More than satisfactory for the price and quality of work.

Refrigerator Indesit SB 185 - confident middling

Indesit SB 185 is a powerful refrigerator with a 3-year warranty from the manufacturer (if nothing has changed, check with the seller). The unit is large and roomy: 185 cm in height and 339 liters - the total volume of the two chambers. Freezing quality: minimum temperature in the freezer constantly at -24°C, and the freezing capacity is up to 6 kg per day. SB 185 does not require frequent defrosting, because after a power outage or any other incident, the cold in the cells remains up to 15 hours. The optimal mode for freezing is 4 out of 6. There is also a super freeze function. The refrigerator is almost silent - 40 dB, but the compressor, relay and refrigerant cannot but make sounds. A small drawback is the consumption of class B electricity. In general, at an average price of 18,953 rubles. on Yandex Market, Indesit received a large number of positive feedback- 42 out of 62, and a final score of 4.0 out of 5. All complaints are mainly about the fragile and soft plastic from which the case and boxes are made.

Buyer's review of the Indesit SB 185

It's cheap, which is why I bought it. We knew from the reviews that it requires careful operation: dents remain. But even though we slam the doors around the clock, nothing terrible happened. Very pleased with the spaciousness. Everything that we buy in bulk once a week, and long-term freezing of vegetables, berries, mushrooms - fits. I didn’t overstrain and I didn’t get tired when I washed this giant - 185 cm. The only thing that annoys me is the lack of a handle on the door. There is a notch at the bottom, but all households open from the side, and the edge is constantly smeared with prints.

Good refrigerators of the middle price category (from 20,000 to 50,000 rubles)

Refrigerator LG GA-B409 SVQA - good with No Frost

LG GA-B409 SVQA is a refrigerator from well-known manufacturer for big family. The proof is the dimensions of the unit: height -190.7 cm, volume of two chambers - 312 liters. Functions such as a child lock of the electronic display and "vacation" confirm the idea expressed above. Despite the “growth”, the refrigerator is stable, because its weight is 75 kg. Feature - Moist Balance Crisper - Special temperature conditions for storing vegetables and fruits. Convenient design for children and adults: freezer from below, two doors from different chambers can be moved. For forgetful and elderly people, temperature indication and sound signal. For example, a reminder on the display of what temperature is set, and if the door is not closed for a long time, it beeps. No Frost technology will save time and nerves during the defrosting procedure, or rather, instead of it. Power consumption - class A. Feature - super freezing. Many buyers on Yandex Market note the design - universal and modern, and adequate value for money. The average cost of GA-B409 SVQA is 35,273 rubles, there are 56 reviews on the same resource, 44 of them are positive, and the final rating is 4.0 out of 5.

Customer Review of LG GA-B409 SVQA

I really wanted to get rid of the memories of the old refrigerator, especially about defrosting it, so the no-frost technology was on my mind when we looked at the device. Even at LG, they liked the design, although many say that it is too narrow, but I like it: as Steve Jobs said - thinner, make gadgets as thin as possible. A big plus is that you can put heavy cans inside, different in height and width, non-standard plates, etc. It makes noise, but it doesn’t annoy me. Lots of drawers! Recommend.

Refrigerator Bosch KGS39XW20 - super model at a good price

Most of all, the super prefix is ​​\u200b\u200bsuitable for the Bosch KGS39XW20 refrigerator:

• supercooling;
• superfreeze;
• powerful (9 kg/day);
• keeping cold up to 22 hours;
• the total volume of two chambers, refrigerating and freezing, is 352 liters.

If we add to this the economical consumption of electricity (class A +), 2 compressors and electronic control, then a tempting picture of an ideal unit from Germany emerges under 2 m in height. Conveniences in the model are also taken into account:

• sound and temperature indication;
• hanging doors;
• the freezer is located below;
• a good set of accessories: drawers, butter dish, bottle rack, egg trays, ice molds.

The only thing is manual defrosting of the freezer, and the “weeping system” of the refrigeration. Bosch KGS39XW20 is the leader in its price category in terms of the number of reviews on Yandex.Market: 73, of which 51 are positive, and the final rating is 4.0 out of 5. The average cost of the model is 43,100 rubles.

Customer review of the Bosch KGS39XW20

We bought Bosch before the New Year (yes, when everyone was swept off the shelves), and there was a great opportunity to check the capacity of the model. They stuffed food to the eyeballs, and it came in, I must say, very well for a family of 5 people. It's great that Low Frost technology does not dry fruits and vegetables. Another plus - no smell, not noisy. It is not clear how to rehang the doors - I did not delve into it, but my husband says: you need to unscrew something, and for this you need some special screwdrivers ... We leave the very bottom of the refrigerator half empty, because the design of the door is such that the shelf sticks out inside. But it freezes by 5 and this is the main thing.

Customer review of BEKO DNE 54530

The refrigerator is definitely worth its money: it does not smell from it, the products do not wind up and do not dry out, the humidity inside is normal. Everything is done with high quality: the handles are durable, the removable shelves are unbreakable. I love to cook, so there are large pots in the refrigerator, and there are greens (waiting in the wings), and non-standard dishes with contents that can quickly deteriorate - everything fits. I don’t know what kind of “swallow” you need to be in order to consider the eyelid to be incapable? And there are some reviews. It was scary, of course, to buy with a glass door, but beauty! Care is simple - wipe and admire.

The best premium refrigerator Liebherr SBS 7212 - Side by Side

The Liebherr SBS 7212 refrigerator costs 113,690 rubles, and for such an amount all expectations from this model are more than paid off. The SBS 7212 has no drawbacks. It is an excellent student, according to buyers on Yandex Market, and positive reviews 17 out of 18. Overall (120 by 63 by 185.2 cm), but the refrigerator and freezer are prefabricated, from different blocks, so you can bring and install the model along narrow stairs, elevators, walkways.

2. Two compressors and a cold accumulator.
3. Chamber volume - 651 l.
4. Freezing capacity up to 20 kg per day.
5. Autonomous preservation of cold - 43 h.
6. The freezer does not need to be defrosted, but in the refrigerator there is a drip system.
7. Sound and light indication + electronic control.
8. The height of the handles is adjustable, and they are with a pusher.

Grade 5. Cons: Too tight. According to reviews: you need to wait seconds and fractions of seconds to open the freezer. Children are not strong enough for this.

Customer review of the Liebherr SBS 7212

A wonderful refrigerator that has doubled in price since purchase (2014). The coolest thing is that a box of beer or a carcass of a large lamb fits into the freezer. What could be the disadvantages? Put together both blocks quickly and without problems. All the drawers slide out without problems, and the fact that you have to wait 10 seconds to open the freezer is just ridiculous. Warm air cools - draws the door - and even the Germans are powerless to do anything about it.

The rating of the best refrigerators is general information which is worth paying attention to. She will tell you exactly what consumers preferred to choose, but the final decision remains with the buyer. In some cases, it is beneficial to abandon the inflated specifications in order to save your own money. As a result of this, people will be able to find a great model that matches their wishes.
