Low-temperature refrigeration equipment has become a faithful assistant both in large-scale production and in small cozy kitchens. Freezing cabinets allow you to keep almost any food unchanged for a long time. The German company Liebherr produces compact and reliable freezers in various price segments, allowing a wide range of consumers to choose the equipment for their needs. This article will review the models that can be purchased for home for January 2019.
Liebherr G 1223
The top opens with one of the most budgetary models. It is popular for its low price, compact size and useful features that make it easy to manage and use.
Specifications:
- total cabinet volume - 101 l;
- internal chamber volume (useful) - 98 l;
- energy class - A +;
- noise level - 40 dB;
- Electronic LCD display.
It is a freestanding small freezer with dimensions 85.1 * 55.3 * 62.4 cm and weighing 38 kg. The cable length is 160 cm, adjustable feet and a reversible door allow you to install it in any convenient place. It consumes up to 200 kW * h of electricity per year, which is quite an acceptable indicator for such a kid. Thanks to the use of R 600a refrigerant, the chamber is able to freeze 11 kg of product in 24 hours, while after shutdown the unit keeps the cold autonomously for up to 26 hours, this allows it to be used in networks with power outages. Has 3 drawers for storing food.
Among the shortcomings, one can single out a high price in comparison with competitors, the absence of self-defrosting - the process occurs only statically. The budget compressor can make a noticeable noise in the "superfreeze" mode.

The model is more advanced in comparison with its predecessor. It is also the choice of many buyers due to the presence of more useful functions in the same compact body. Specifications:
- total chamber volume - 106 l;
- internal (useful) volume - 104 l;
- energy class - A ++;
- noise level - up to 38 dB;
- light and sound indication of temperature rise;
- screen with temperature indication.
A freestanding freezer, slightly larger than its predecessor - 55.3 * 62.4 * 85.1 cm, 42 kg. The inner chamber contains one more drawer than in the younger model - a total of 4. Standard power cable 160 cm, adjustable feet and a reversible door, the same refrigerant is used, and the freezing capacity is the same - 11 kg per day. The cold keeps for 4 hours longer - up to 30 hours with a complete power outage. However, having on board a modern compressor with increased energy efficiency, the chamber can significantly reduce energy consumption per year - up to 150 kWh, which is 25% less than its predecessor. The noise level has also dropped to 38 dB. The control is completely electronic, with protection from child interference. It has the function of "super freezing", while the defrost is static, that is, manual.
The increase in the number of boxes has led to the fact that their size has become much smaller, which means that the internal capacity has dropped.According to reviews, people who store large pieces of raw materials and whole poultry carcasses may face a lack of headroom.

Liebherr GN 1066
A model from the mid-price segment, which has a number of useful features that budget options cannot boast of. The following features are hidden in the compact body of the freezer:
- total chamber volume - 102 l;
- internal (useful) volume - 91 l;
- energy class - A +;
- noise level - up to 42 dB;
- indication of temperature rise by light and sound;
- LCD screen with temperature.
The camera size is really small - 60.2 * 62.8 * 85.1 cm, which makes it one of the smallest cameras in the line. In this regard, the number of cameras returned to the very first model in the rating - 3 pcs. In terms of electricity, the baby is rather gluttonous - almost 200 kWh per year. The noise level also leaves much to be desired - up to 42 dB, that is, in a small kitchenette, the presence of such an assistant will be quite noticeable. What, in this case, brought this camera to the middle price segment, because the main parameters are inferior to budget competitors? It's all about more productive iron - it allows you to freeze 14 kg of raw materials in 24 hours, which is 3 kg more than its predecessors. Here, defrosting is no longer manual, the chamber uses a modern No Frost system - it minimizes the amount of moisture inside the usable volume, so the annoying “ice coat” does not form on the walls and other elements. This means that GN 1066 does not need to be completely defrosted, which significantly saves the consumer's time. The bonus is autonomy up to 30 hours, "super freezing" mode, complete cold accumulator and electronic control with protection against accidental clicks.
With all the positive aspects, a batch of defective models entered the market, which were characterized by frequent breakdowns and an unpleasant smell of plastic. Although the company recalled the batch, replacing the purchased models with new, serviceable ones, buyers in the reviews advise to double-check the warranty documents before purchasing in order to protect themselves in the future.

Liebherr GN 1923
The camera is also in the middle price category, but it already has a relatively impressive size - the model is perfect for those who need to store a large amount of frozen raw materials. Specifications are as follows:
- total chamber volume - 187 l;
- internal chamber volume (useful) - 151 liters;
- energy class - A +;
- noise level - up to 43 dB;
- light and sound indication of temperature rise;
- sound indication of door opening.
The model has noticeably grown up - 60 * 63 * 125 cm, which made it possible to fit inside 5 full-size storage boxes. Power consumption for such a volume has also significantly increased and amounted to 240 kWh per year, which is quite acceptable for a camera with such a useful volume. The noise level remained at the level of small models - up to 43 dB. The model is equipped with the No Frost system, which greatly simplifies the care of such a volume. Powerful iron freezes 15 kg of raw materials per day, there is a mode of fast freezing of small volumes of raw materials, while the walls keep the cold inside for up to 24 hours. Fully electronic control with temperature indication and critical status notifications. The massive door is equipped with a handle with a pusher, which minimizes the forces applied to opening. The complexity of the handle design in comparison with classic versions can lead to unexpected breakage.

Liebherr GN 2323
The increase in the price of this model in comparison with its predecessors is associated with a further increase in the useful volume of the chamber and, as a consequence, an increase in the amount of stored raw materials.
Specifications:
- total chamber volume - 226 l;
- internal chamber volume (useful) - 188 liters;
- energy class - A +;
- noise level - up to 42 dB;
- light and sound indication of temperature rise;
- sound notification of door opening.
GN 2323 has increased in size upwards by almost 20 cm, which made it possible to equip it with another box. Thanks to the high-quality optimization of hardware, power consumption increased by only 4 kWh, while the noise level of the device dropped to 42 dB, which is an excellent indicator for a camera almost 1.5 meters high. Already a standard set of functions for such a price - No Frost, superfreezing, all kinds of indications and notifications for instant interaction with the consumer. The useful volume freezes 16 kg of raw materials per day and keeps the cold up to 24 hours with a complete power outage. Some buyers point out rather big dimensions as a drawback.
