How to choose a good, but not expensive fridge for value for money

To have a fridge that will please you for many years, fit perfectly into the interior and keep food fresh for a long time, you need to pay attention to the following parameters:

• Dimensions. Decide on the location of your refrigerator. It is important to have a power source nearby. Measure the length, width and height of the available space and choose a model based on these parameters.
• Number of cameras and their location. Single-compartment models consist only of a refrigerator compartment, two-compartment models are supplemented with a freezer. In the budget segment, refrigerators with an upper or lower freezer compartment are presented.
• Type of control. Refrigerators with electromechanical control have no precise regulation of the temperature mode, and in models with a built-in electronic display, it is possible to set the indicators with an accuracy of up to 1 ° C.
• Total volume. For one person, 120 liters is enough, and for a family of 3 or more people - from 250 or more.
• Type of defrosting. The simplest models need to be unplugged and cleaned as ice forms, more modern models have a drip system or No Frost technology. Drip refrigerators require scheduled defrosting twice a year, while No Frost refrigerators do not need to be defrosted.
• Number of compressors. Most budget models have one compressor for the entire refrigerator. Dual-compressor refrigerators have independent operation and temperature regulation of the refrigerator compartment and freezer.
• Noise level. When placing appliances in or near a room, choose models with a noise level of 45 dB or less.
• Energy Consumption .. You can save on electricity by choosing models that are labeled A, A+, and higher.

Yes, I can hear it working at night in the studio apartment, but not critically. In general I liked the fridge, but the issue of odors remains unclear.

Nevertheless, I decided to take the risk and order again from this company. Got it, and it works.

A model designed for a large family.. The convenience of the refrigerator is the absence of mandatory defrosting and a good capacity.

	Expert Rating: ? 9.9 / 10
	Owner's Review.
	First of all, the value for money. I spent a week comparing and choosing between refrigerators in about this price range. And this is the best decision. The fridge is beautiful, roomy, cools perfectly, the food does not spoil for weeks. The freezer is very powerful. Buy it, you will not regret!

This small refrigerator is the best choice for a cottage or temporary housing. Dimensions and design are quite universal and will fit practically into any interior.

If desired, the refrigerator doors can be re-hung. The device has 1 compressor and power consumption class A.

Sufficiently capacious 70-liter freezer is capable to freeze up to 4.5 kilograms of products per day and in case of a sudden power cut-off to keep the set temperature for up to 20 hours. For convenience, the set is provided with a strong metal shelf.

The refrigerating compartment has a capacity of 210 l. 4 glass shelves are height adjustable and easy to clean. Also ATLANT MXM 2835-90 provides 2 boxes for vegetables and side shelves for storage.

It is worth noting that they are short and not particularly easy to use.

	Owner's Review.
	Small, two shelves in the freezer. Roomy enough. The backlight is present. Noise only when shifting. For one or two people, it's a great option. It doesn't make a lot of noise. So far it is standing in the room, not annoying. Cools well. Freezes as well. In my opinion the shelves on the door are flimsy.

Two-chamber narrow fridge from Russian manufacturer. Has one compressor and only cooling circuit. Small in capacity, it is ideal for a country house or for the needs of 1 person.

The model is characterized by high reliability and build quality.

Automatic defrost function reduces the intensity of frost formation. This solution allows for complete defrosting much less frequently. The refrigerating compartment has three spacious shelves, and a box for vegetables and fruits. The door has plastic shelves for drinks and a container for eggs.

Bright backlighting is implemented with the use of LED-technology.

The freezer compartment is small and has a capacity of 35 liters. For the convenience of food distribution there is a shelf. Freezing capacity is 2,5 kg/day.

The main advantage of Biryusa 122 is its budget cost, but it also makes some compromises.

For example, the white plastic of the case: it is quite marginal and prone to scratches.

	Small but roomy. Two cameras. There is a backlight. Good quality. No extraneous odors. Convenient glass shelves can be rearranged lower/higher. There is a stand for the eggs. There is a metal shelf in the freezer. There is a double compartment for fruits and vegetables. All in all, I like it so far. I am completely satisfied. A little frustrating that the back wall has an open "accordion" like older models of refrigerators, but otherwise normal.

A small two-compartment refrigerator with a classic design and hidden door handles.

Practically silent in operation, but occasionally makes extraneous noises. Has a high energy efficiency class, which allows you to save on electricity.

The automatic defrosting system promptly reduces the amount of ice and drains the moisture into a special tray, which makes the maintenance of the refrigerator much easier.

NORDFROST NRT 143-032 has high-quality components and reliable assembly.

The main compartment is supplemented with 3 removable shelves and drawers for storing vegetables. The shelves are made of quality glass and are easy to clean. The refrigerator is able to maintain a constant temperature for up to 18 hours when the power is turned off.

	The price is one of the most budget-friendly for a built-in refrigerator. Good refrigerator, if you do not overestimate any requirements, there are no questions. Did not have an egg rack, seems to be the norm for any refrigerator. After installing the front - the door was a little twitchy, because it was not possible to press it tightly. But after loading the door of the refrigerator with the products this drawback disappeared.

One of the most budget built in two-chamber refrigerators. Has the universal dimensions and fits practically to any type of kitchen. The total volume of the device is 248 l. that is quite sufficient for the family of 2-3 persons.

	Buying Beko for the second time, the first served about 5 years in the previous kitchen, now in the new apartment took again Beko. The first one was used for the first time in the kitchen. Roomy refrigerator compartment, in terms of ergonomics perfectly thought out regulation of the shelves. The rack for only 6 eggs - this is strange, yes, but I personally store eggs in a container. The bottle shelf is a joy - very convenient.

Highly economical model with bottom freezer.

Has a total volume of 262 liters and is designed for a small family of several people. Suitable for most climate zones. The refrigerator is equipped with a combined defrosting system: the general compartment is defrosted by drip, and the freezer is designed on No Frost technology.

	An excellent refrigerator. Quiet and beautiful. For the money it is a beauty. Can not adjust the freezer power separately, but for the money I do not consider this a disadvantage. I am fully satisfied with the purchase. In the other apartment I have a refrigerator from another company for 50,000 rubles. Therefore there is something to compare it with. That one is even a little louder))

	The size is as ordered, roomy, works quietly, the egg rack is a little small, but you can insert an egg carton on any side shelf and then there is enough space, really liked it. The shelves are firmly attached and can be rearranged to the desired height. It is too early to talk about the service life.

After switching off the power, the model can maintain the temperature autonomously for up to 17 hours. The refrigerator has a good capacity and the total volume of the device is 252 l. The adjustable shelves are made of shockproof glass capable of withstanding the load of up to 20 kg. In the lower part there are two plastic storage boxes.
