But sometimes it happens that several models meet the desired criteria at once and the main difference lies only in the choice of a brand. For example, which refrigerator is better than "Indesit" or "Atlant"? Not everyone can immediately answer this question. Let's try to figure it out together.

Indesite

This company is widely known as a reliable Italian manufacturer. Refrigerators and other appliances of this brand are convenient, comfortable and multifunctional. European quality is the criterion preferred by many buyers. But there is one nuance here. Refrigerators of the company "Indesite»Is not always made in Italy. This enterprise has many branches both in Europe and in Asia. Therefore, the quality of products can vary significantly depending on which country the assembly was made in. On the Russian market, most often there are models of Chinese production or a plant located in the Lipetsk region.

Nevertheless, refrigerators of the Indesit trademark are also very diverse functionally, have a fairly wide model and price range. All these qualities allow the buyer to choose a model that perfectly meets all expectations.

Indesite "and" Atlant "

To use an example to determine which is better "Atlant" or "Indesite»Let's take two specific models, one from each manufacturer. For the purity of the experiment, we will compare refrigerators of approximately the same price category: Atlant XM 4092 022 and Indesit BIA 16.

Common parameters

Each of these models is not too different from the other in terms of basic technical characteristics:

stand-alone units with bottom freezers;
white color, coating material - plastic;
electromechanical control;
each model has one compressor;
energy class - A (339.45 kWh/h/ year for Atlant and 325 kWh/h/ year at "Indesit");
both models have a manual drip system defrost;

dimensions of Atlant XM 4092 022 – 60x63x176 cm;
dimensions of Indesit BIA 16 – 60x66x167 cm.

Wherein "Indesite»Has a little less useful volume. This parameter is 278 lof which 193 l falls on the refrigerator compartment and 85 l - in the freezer. Refrigerator "Atlant" boasts a little more useful volume. The total parameter is 297 liters. Moreover, 201 l will take a refrigerator and 96 l - freezing compartment.

Noise level

This parameter for both models is also absolutely identical and, according to manufacturers, does not exceed 39 dB... True, for this, the refrigeration unit must be placed on an absolutely flat surface and adjusted strictly according to the level.

Freezer

At first glance, the freezers in both refrigerators do not differ significantly. Both are located at the bottom of the unit and have three drawers. Looking at the instructions, you will see that Atlant XM 4092 022 can freeze 4.5 kg of food per day. At the same time, Indesit BIA 16 is capable of handling only four kilograms. The difference seems to be small, but it is.

In the event of a power outage, "Atlant" is able to hold out in autonomous mode for 17 hours. At "Indesita»This figure is 2 hours less.

cooling chamber

Looking into the upper compartment, you can see several significant differences:

in "Atlanta" you will find 4 shelves for food, and in "Indesite»There are only 3 of them;
only 3 door shelves «Indesita"Can't compete with Atlant's 6;
in addition, the Atlant XM 4092 022 package includes a separate container for eggs;
both models have 2 spacious fruit and vegetable drawers.

Another difference between the two models is the class of the refrigerator. Atlant XM 4092 022 has a class N, which means that it is capable of delivering the declared indicators when operating in a temperature range of +16 +32 C. For warmer regions, Indesit BIA 16 is preferable. It has class N-ST and is capable of working normally at ambient temperatures up to +38 C.

Which refrigerator is better to choose

As you can see, it is almost impossible to say with certainty which is better: "Atlant" or "Indesite". You will have to choose yourself. In order not to be mistaken, you need to focus, rather, not on the trademark, but on the functional indicators.

But what if the choice is between almost identical models, as in our comparison? Pay attention - here's what:
