If you choose a refrigerator to replace the old one, then you should choose one that is identical in size and design. Then you won't have any installation problems.

Standard sizes 60x60x150 cm will be an excellent solution for small kitchens. Expert advice - it is necessary to select the sizes taking into account the size of the kitchen and the availability of free space on it.A tall refrigerator is not always the best choice, if your height is below average, when choosing, you need to make sure whether it is comfortable to get items from the upper shelves, it may be more convenient to give preference to a short and shallow, but wide model. The standard height is 1.5-2 m.

Useful volume refrigerator is an important selection criterion. According to experts, when determining the required volume, it must be borne in mind that the products should not be stored close to, but at a short distance for air circulation. With the same external dimensions, the usable volume can be different.

Standard solutions for one or two people are 180-250 liters. For a family of up to 5 people, the 350+ liter model is suitable. If this is not enough, then you should pay attention to the side-by-side system cabinet with a volume of 500 liters or more. ( See also: How to choose and install a built-in refrigerator )

Types of refrigerating chambers and their purpose

Single-chamber refrigerators are the best choice for summer cottages

The smallest models are equipped with only one door, behind it there is either one refrigerating chamber, there are also options with a very small freezer (NTO - low-temperature compartment). A great option for one or two people or a small office. Experts advise to choose this particular type of refrigerators for summer cottages. ( See also: Why do you need a voltage regulator for refrigerators )

Types of NTO:

• without labeling - in such a compartment it is allowed to store products for several days;
• one star - temperatures up to -6 ° C, food storage is possible up to two weeks;
• two stars - down to -12 ° C, - shelf life within three months;
• three stars - down to -18 ° C - shelf life one year.

Multi-compartment refrigerators

Two-compartment refrigerators are the most popular. The first is refrigeration and the second is freezing. Most of the refrigerator is occupied by the refrigerating chamber. It contains metal or glass shelves and containers for storing food. The glass shelves are easy to clean and the grilles do not interfere with the air circulation. Any combination of shelves and containers can be created inside the unit. ( See also: How to choose a two-compartment refrigerator - rating of the best 2019 )

Most often, the freezer is located under the refrigerator, but there are also models in which it is located at the top. Freezers located at the bottom have a larger volume than those at the top.

Important:

On some models it is possible to change the side of the door opening, from left to right or right to left, which is important during installation.

Three-compartment refrigerators have a “freshness preservation zone”. In this compartment, the temperature is maintained from zero to two degrees above zero. The zero temperature chamber is designed to store perishable foods - in this compartment they will retain their taste and freshness longer.

Side-by-Side refrigerators are ideal for large families. The freezer is located on the side. The standard parameters of such a unit are 180x80x100 cm.

Selecting the type of defrost / freeze of the refrigerator

Manufacturers in 2019-2020 offer two types No frost and drip system.

Advantages of the drip system:

• products are less weathered;
• low price compared to NoFrost.

Better in 2020 choose a refrigerator with No Frost system... Benefits:

• no need to constantly defrost;
• frost and ice do not appear due to air circulation and maintaining a constant temperature;
• the temperature is evenly distributed, food is stored longer;
• all condensate is collected in a tray, from which it is enough to pour out the liquid 1-2 times a year;
• lower power consumption compared to other types.

As you can see, refrigerators with a No Frost defrost system are more practical and convenient to use. Relying on the conditions and pace of life of a modern person, almost all manufacturers strive to equip their product with the latest technology.

Number of refrigerator compressors

Refrigerators are manufactured with one or two compressors. If one compressor is installed, the freezer and refrigerator compartment are powered by the same motor. Heavy loads wear out the engine. We advise you to buy a refrigerator with two compressors installed, this option will be more reliable.

The advantage of refrigerators with two compressors:

• the ability to turn off one chamber, and leave the other on - you can wash the freezer without turning off the refrigerator
• independent temperature - when the doors of the refrigerating chamber are opened, only one compressor works to restore the temperature
• durability

Crank compressor or linear compressor? The choice is quite simple, as studies have shown that refrigerators with linear compressors retain more vitamins and minerals in food. ( See also: Inverter compressor in the refrigerator: pros and cons )

Important:

Refrigerators with two compressors always consume more electricity.

Energy class and noise level

The noise level should be less than 40 dB, it is this noise level that is comfortable for the home. ( See also: Rating of the quietest refrigerators according to customer reviews )

The refrigerator operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it is very important to choose the most economical option. The most economical are units of class "A ++", "A +", "A", then refrigerators of classes "B" and "C" follow in terms of efficiency. Anything below "C" is not worth buying!

Let's pay attention to the diagram below, based on the graphs it can be seen that the class "A ++" consumes 40% less electricity than "C". In terms of years of operation, the amount of savings is noticeable.

Important:

Follow the trends in energy saving, in 2020 experts recommend choosing a refrigerator class "A ++" or "A +". Read also: How much does the refrigerator consume electricity per month

Selecting a refrigerator climate class

To choose a climate class, it is enough to know the average temperature limits of the room in which the refrigerator will be located. When choosing a refrigerator for your home, this criterion is not so important. In 90% of cases, N - SN models will do.

The climate class is marked with the letters N, SN, ST, T.

• N - from +16^aboutFrom to +32^aboutFROM;

Important:

If the refrigerator breaks down and an expert assessment reveals that the operation does not correspond to the climatic class, the manufacturer's warranty will not be valid.

Freezer class selection

The freezer class is indicated by snowflakes:

• 2 snowflakes - temperature up to -12

The simplest freezers are in single-compartment refrigerators, some of which do not drop below -6 ° C.

Additional functions

Additional functions affect the price, so we advise you to choose the most necessary and useful ones.

Ice maker - there are two types, a dispensary for an ox or ordinary ice cells. The premium segment is equipped with an automatic icemaker, which must be connected to the water supply. You can choose a semi-automatic option - water is poured into the tank manually, which is less convenient, but cheaper and easier.

Antibacterial coating - silver ions are used, which prevent the growth of bacteria and microbes.

Super freeze –The mode is used for quick freezing, the temperature drops for a short time to -24 ° C. For the refrigerating chamber there is a similar mode, which lowers the temperature to -2 ° C.

Open door indicator - if the door is not closed, or does not fit snugly, a signal is emitted.

Expert opinion

Technology consultant. Experience in Mvideo - 7 years

For giving, additional functions are not needed at all. Choose the simplest options with fewer features.

Design

The shape and color scheme should be in harmony with the furnishings and colors of the kitchen. Today, designs are presented in any color and from various materials, from the usual metal to wood.

Advice:

A matter of taste! Choose what you like.

Which refrigerator is better to choose 2020: expert advice

As promised, here are some expert tips on how to choose a refrigerator for your home or garden.

1. Consider the place where the refrigeration unit will stand. He shouldn't be inconvenient.
2. Glass is better than plastic, glass shelves are more durable and easier to care for. Glass is more transparent than plastic, convenient when searching on the upper shelves.

The first representative in the segment of state employees with the No frost system. The average price is 21,000 -22,000 rubles, which slightly exceeds the criteria of our rating, but still fits into the overall picture.

Accordingly, the useful volume has also decreased to 256 liters. At the same time, the refrigerator compartment is of sufficient size, and the freezer is not large - 75 liters.

Therefore, the spouse unscrewed two bolts, raised the tray higher and fixed it again! And that's it! It works silently, freezes more than qualitatively, We are VERY happy with the purchase! "
