Summary of the rating:
What options do you pay attention to when buying a refrigerator?
There are a lot of criteria related to the choice of a refrigerator, all of them must be taken into account, but there are factors that can’t be dispensed with without taking into account:
- Overall dimensions of equipment: on sale you can find models with the number of cameras from one to six. First you need to think about exactly where the refrigerator will be located, measure the area allotted for it, and then proceed to the selection of sizes. The most popular models among users are dual-chamber devices;
- The location of the cameras relative to each other - as a standard, the freezer is located at the bottom, but there are models that are generally devoid of freezers. The volume of the freezer is different - more, less or equal to the refrigerator;
- Capacity is selected depending on the number of people living in the apartment. For example, for a family of two people, a design of up to 180 liters will be quite enough, but if there are more people, then the refrigerator should be as large as possible;
- The technology of freezing and thawing. There are several similar methods - they operate approximately the same, but with different noise levels. In addition, such technologies differ from each other due to the need for defrosting;
- The climate class directly depends on the conditions in which this equipment will be operated;
- The class of energy consumption affects the efficiency of the device;
- The presence of various additional functions - an indicator of an open door, an ice generator, the possibility of quick freezing, antibacterial protection. Any additional opportunity will affect the increase in the cost of equipment;
- A type of compressor - modern models are equipped with inverter devices that are quieter and last much longer. Their main disadvantage is the fear of power surges, so the home network will need to be protected from them by installing a stabilizer;
- Control method - it is completely electronic, mechanical and electromechanical. Each of them has its positive and negative qualities;
- Noise - modern models almost do not emit extraneous sounds.
When compiling our rating of the best home refrigerators, we not only took into account all these points, but also additionally examined user reviews in order to understand which models they prefer.

Indesit and the old models had very nothing.You just need to read reviews and specifications before buying, otherwise it’s easy to take what does not suit you.
Antonina, I support, really. I have been using Indezit for many years and am very satisfied) and the initial price is very pleasant!
To each his own. Of course, but for me, according to the characteristics of the refrigerators, it’s an obscure darkness, if only it would be reliable and fit well into the kitchen. Actually, my Hotpoint copes with this with a bang, I chose it, bought it, and then I read on the Internet that it was being praised.
You certainly have some interesting options here, but my little black hotpoint is still just space))
Natasha, black refrigerators are cool)) and what model does your hoppoint have?)
I really like our Wirlpool, so I can’t resist, I highly recommend it to everyone)
Wirlpool has really very, very good options. The refrigerator is large with us and there is no accumulation of food smells)
What do not say anything about indesit, but the eye pleases what price, what quality. How many years have passed and did not even think to update the refrigerator
Let's be honest, the best Liebherr refrigerator
