16 best refrigerators in quality and reliability

Everyone dreams of an ideal refrigerator, which fits perfectly into the kitchen interior, does not make noise and consumes a minimum of energy. At the same time he must perfectly maintain the quality of the products. We learn how to choose just such a unit at an affordable price.

How to choose a refrigerator

First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of refrigerator, namely the following parameters:

1. Dimensions. It is necessary to measure the place for the unit with a tape measure. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the distance to the opening of the door and the outlet.
2. The number of cameras. A single-compartment refrigerator is more suitable for 1-2 people, an office or a summer residence. Two-chamber devices have a freezer, which is located either below or above. There are also multi-camera models on sale. Some refrigerators have a wide freezer located at the bottom, and at the top there is a double door. The American model assumes the arrangement of cameras side by side.
3. Type of defrosting. Modern devices are produced with drip cooling system and technology No Frost. The latter is considered more perfect.
4. Type of compressor. The noise level depends on it. The optimal rate is 40 dB.
5. Energy efficiency. It is advisable to choose a refrigerator with energy consumption of classes A +, A ++, A +++.
6. Special attention should be paid to other characteristics:
7. type of control (mechanical or electronic);
8. additional functions (radio, Wi-Fi, anti-bacterial coating, remote control);
9. climate class (depending on operating conditions);
10. volume (it is calculated at the rate of 120 liters per person, plus 60 liters for each subsequent family member);
11. material of shelves (glass is considered the most practical).

Better if the fridge rides on wheels. This will simplify its transportation. It is advised to choose a unit with a re-usable door in case of a rearrangement. As for the light, the halogen bulbs on the sides are much more practical.
