The refrigerator has long been settled in our homes - today it is difficult to imagine a family that could do without this extremely useful appliance. The first models, released back in the middle of the last century, were distinguished by noisy work, bulky sizes and a low efficiency combined with a small useful volume. However, technology does not stand still, and today you can buy a fairly original model that does not need defrosting, it works almost silently and has a number of useful functions.
In our review today, we plan to consider the best refrigerators with the no frost system. This is a relatively new product, so not all users know how to properly approach the issue of choosing such equipment. In this regard, before proceeding with a direct analysis of the characteristics of specific models, let's first understand what constitutes a refrigerator that does not need defrosting, and what points you need to pay attention to when buying it.
Summary of the rating:
How to choose a refrigerator with the know frost system?
It is natural that in the first place you should pay attention to the overall dimensions of the product. Unfortunately, not all people live in spacious houses and apartments, so often every square centimeter of space counts. On sale you can find compact units with a width of 50 cm and a depth of 70 cm, whose capacity does not exceed 60 liters. Such designs will be optimal for country houses, offices, a family of one or two people. If more people live in the house, then it is best to give preference to models of the European standard - in height they are usually from 170 to 205 cm, have a capacity of about 160 liters.
During operation, such a device does not form a snow coating, therefore, does not need periodic defrosting. Thanks to the use of such technology, the cooled air is evenly distributed throughout the chamber, moisture does not condense. It also allows you to protect products from freezing, reliably protect the walls from the accumulation of contaminants. In general, the refrigerator is unpretentious in terms of operation.
There is an evaporator on the back of the product, however it can be located directly above the freezer. In the immediate vicinity of it, a fan is installed that blows on the evaporator, the cooled air then diverges through special channels. The flows are constantly in motion, which eliminates the formation of condensate. Excess moisture accumulates in the evaporator, which is the coldest element. If condensate nevertheless forms, then it is discharged through the grooves into a special tank, and then it evaporates from it.
The main distinguishing feature of such a refrigerator is that the temperature will remain the same throughout the chamber - this factor has a positive effect on the safety of food products. Often, these products are equipped with various additional functions: Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth and other useful and modern elements.
When choosing models for inclusion in our today's rating, we were guided, first of all, by the points discussed here, and also took into account the price-quality ratio of products. In a review of the best know-frost refrigerators in 2019, we decided to analyze the characteristics of devices belonging to the low and medium price categories so that the majority of readers could choose the best products for themselves.
