7 best drip refrigerators

Now refrigerators are conventionally divided into two groups. The first includes traditional devices that need to be defrosted from time to time - this is done using a drip system. There are also more expensive devices that support the technology NoFrost - they do not need to be defrosted. In this article we will talk about the best drip refrigerators. At the same time, it will be exclusively about those models that are sold in Russian stores. We will also tell about how the NoFrost refrigerators differ from the drip refrigerators.

Which is better: NoFrost or drip fridge?

Why is a drip fridge called that way? Everything is very simple. Behind its back wall there is a special evaporator. It regularly forms condensate, which drips into the tank intended for this purpose. Some people call these refrigerators "crying" - indeed, the flowing drops look like tears. The side surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer usually remain dry. However, if the compressor is too active, then small pieces of ice may appear on them.

NoFrost technology is much more complicated. The refrigerator equipped with it also has an evaporator located in the rear compartment. However, in addition, such a device receives several fans - they not only cool the air, but also ensure its constant circulation through the chambers. As a result, the condensate here, if released, then in minimal amounts - it will be necessary to empty the special container every six months or even a year.

Many people understand that it is better to buy a refrigerator that supports NoFrost. But there is an obvious deterrent: price. Such devices are sold much more expensive. The difference in price with almost identical parameters sometimes is twofold! However, let's take a look at what other advantages and disadvantages of the two technologies.

Drip system

Virtues	disadvantages
Low cost	Ice gradually appears in the freezer
A wide range of refrigerators	Lost temperature recovers long enough
Low power consumption	The rear wall is constantly wet.
The noise emitted depends only on the compressor.	Requires regular defrosting
Cameras usually have a large volume	The temperature at the bottom is very different from that at the top.

NoFrost

Virtues	disadvantages
Never defrost	Cameras are rarely roomy.
Fast low temperature recovery	More components to break
The system works stably even in the freezer	High price
The temperature is about the same over the entire area of ​​the refrigerator.	Fans in some models are well heard
Fast food freezing	Increased power consumption
Rear wall has no condensation

Please note that the indicated drawbacks do not apply to all refrigerators with the NoFrost system.The development of such devices does not stand still, in connection with which some models are still spared from those or other drawbacks. Nevertheless, in this article, we still look at the drip refrigerators. Below you will learn about which models are considered the best among those present in the Russian market for such equipment.

Liebherr CNef 4815

Rating: 4.9

One of the most expensive refrigerators equipped with a defrost drip system. This is a two-chamber monster, the body of which has a silver color. To open the door, a special pusher is used here, but minimal effort is required from a person. In short, even a small child can open the door of the refrigerator. This representative of our rating is also able to boast of quite low energy consumption - experts gave it the appropriate class A +++.

To be honest, the device fell unfairly on our list. The fact is that one cannot say that the NoFrost system is not used here at all. Just applied it only in the freezer. This means that the ice in it will not appear exactly. Well, the refrigerator compartment here does have a defrost drip system - this is at least indicated by a damp rear wall.

If you suddenly turn off the electricity, the cold inside the device will persist for 24 hours - this is a very good result, almost perfect. A refrigerator is also capable of boasting a high freezing capacity - up to 16 kg per day. It is also pleasant that it is impossible to forget to close the door of such a droplet refrigerator - the electronics will immediately give a sound and even a light signal. By the way, LED lighting is used here, which has practically no effect on power consumption.

What else is due to the high cost of Liebherr CNef 4815? Perhaps the presence of a display right inside the device. Also can not but rejoice the noise level, not exceeding 38 dB. I could not get such a fridge and a zone of freshness - vegetables and fruits are stored here for a very long time. The fan also helps in this, trying to prevent temperature changes even at the moment of opening the door.

In short, the fridge was great. The volume of its refrigerator compartment is 260 liters, and another 101 liters holds the freezer. It remains to be regretted that such a monster will not afford to reach many Russians - reaching 62 thousand rubles. cost implies a loan. But if you can still afford such a purchase, do not hesitate for a long time!

Bosch KGE39XW2AR

Rating: 4.8

This representative of our rating has a more familiar white color. However, there are options with silver and even golden colors - they just cost a little more. The corners of the case here are rounded much less, in connection with which the design seems slightly rough. But otherwise, it is quite difficult to find fault with the device. Its height reaches 200 cm. With this parameter it is impossible not to wait for a roomy refrigerator. Here its volume reaches 257 liters. Only 94 liters are allocated to the freezer, but this parameter is enough for the vast majority of buyers.

This drip fridge is sold for 40 thousand rubles.The price tag can not be called low, but it is not particularly high. It is clear that the manufacturer definitely had to save on something. Here it is the power of freezing - it does not exceed 9 kg per day. Also, the German company did not try to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, which is why the device received the corresponding class A +. However, this is where the serious flaws end. The buyer will definitely appreciate the touch control of the refrigerator - it’s easy to choose the right mode of operation. By the way, there is a mode of "Leave", in which the system understands that the doors will not open at least a week - this leads to a strong reduction in energy consumption. Also should be pleased with the bright LED lights.

The device constantly monitors the temperature inside its chambers. If it was raised, a beep will sound - after that you need to check if the door is open. It should be noted that there are glass shelves here - there are no complaints about their strength. The drop cooler Bosch KGE39XW2AR makes almost no noise - at rare moments it gives 38 dB, which is an acceptable parameter. Perhaps we can note the weight of the device, which is 70 kg. Two men must cope with his rise to the desired floor. Believe, there are also heavier refrigerators!

Liebherr CUwb 3311

Rating: 4.8

Another creation of Liebherr in our ranking. This refrigerator is already significantly less expensive - no more than 34 thousand rubles are asked for it. It is clear that such a device has received a number of simplifications. However, the low cost did not affect the appearance - the fridge received a nice body in dark silver or white. There are other color options, but they are rarely available. The height of this product is only 181 cm. This, of course, affected the volume of the freezer, which is 84 liters here. But on the other hand, even a short girl can reach the top shelf, which is good news. The volume of the refrigerator was, by the way, 210 liters, which cannot be considered a low value.

Modern refrigerators increasingly began to receive a handle with a pusher. And here it allows you to open the door with just one finger. One can not but note the long autonomous preservation of cold, which reaches 27 hours here. A display should also please the buyer, allowing him to become familiar with the temperature in both chambers.

Of course, for such money, the manufacturer can not please a potential buyer with an ideal device. There are glass shelves here - this is already happiness. The engineers saved at the freezing capacity - here it does not exceed 4 kg per day.

In fact, Liebherr CUwb 3311 leaves behind more positive impressions than negative ones. In particular, it makes almost no noise, unlike many of its competitors with a similar price tag. The SmartFrost defrost technology is also applied here, making this process as easy as possible. In short, not to arrange a drip fridge can only those people who need a model with as large as possible cameras.

Gorenje NRC 6192 TX

Rating: 4.7

Another rather low refrigerator in our rating. Its dimensions are 185x60x64 cm. As is the case with almost all modern models, the freezer compartment is located below. Its volume is 85 liters, which is enough for most buyers. The volume of the refrigerating chamber is brought to an impressive 222 liters. The product complies with energy class A ++, which is a satisfactory result. Interestingly, on the case there is an LCD display showing the current mode of operation and temperature in both chambers. This refrigerator is able to provide superfrost. It also has a high freezing capacity - at the level of 12 kg per day. But even more pleased with the fact that the system uses no frost inside the freezer. This means that defrosting by the owner of the device will be extremely rare. In fact, it will consist only in wiping the insides of the refrigerating chamber.

Glass is used as shelves here, which is unlikely to break from a giant pot of soup. Like almost all drip refrigerators, Gorenje NRC 6192 TX provides the ability to outweigh the door, because not every kitchen is convenient to open it from left to right. As for the noise level, it does not exceed 42 dB. Not a record, but quite acceptable option. In short, its 37-40 thousand rubles. the fridge is definitely worth it! Buyers also understand this - this model does not linger in stores.

Bosch KGV39XW22R

Rating: 4.6

This trickle fridge comes in two colors. Most often in stores you can find a device with a traditional white body, but there is also a version painted in beige - it looks a bit more interesting. Against the background of some competitors, the refrigerator stands out for its height, reaching 200 cm. Also, the device is able to boast the presence of an antibacterial coating inside the refrigerator compartment. By the way, its volume is 257 liters - it is difficult to imagine a family that is not satisfied with this parameter. As for the freezer, then its volume reaches 94 liters.

This model belongs to the energy class A +. It should be noted that the refrigerator turned out to be almost silent. And it also has LED lighting, which is distinguished by its economy and brightness. It should please the buyer for a long time of preserving the cold - up to 22 hours. Present here and the possibility of hanging the door. However, this can boast all the models in our rating.

In the Russian retail chains Bosch KGV39XW22R is sold for 35 thousand rubles. With a fairly high dollar exchange rate, it can be called cheap. What did the manufacturer save on? Yes, it couldn’t do without simplifications in creating a budget kitchen kitchen - first of all the buyer will pay attention to the absence of an LCD display here. Here is implemented push-button control. The corresponding keys are located inside the refrigerator, they are hidden from the eyes of visitors to your kitchen. Also, not everyone is satisfied with the power of freezing, not exceeding 5 kg per day. Otherwise, it is difficult to find fault with this drip fridge. There are glass shelves, which are unlikely to be disappointed. And even the weight can not be called critical - it is 72 kg (according to other data - 74 kg).

ATLANT XM 4625-101

Rating: 4.5

One of the most inexpensive drip refrigerators in our ranking. In the Russian retail they ask about 25-27 thousand rubles for it. This is quite a bit, especially considering that the height of this model reaches an impressive 207 cm. The secret to the low price tag lies in the fact that a refrigerator is manufactured in Russia - you don’t need to deliver it to a store from anywhere in Europe. Also, Russian engineers have greatly simplified management - it consists of only a few buttons, and there is no mention of an LCD display. But the manufacturer took care of the antibacterial coating. Noticed that it allows you to keep food fresh for a bit longer.

Looking at this refrigerator, you immediately notice the almost equal dimensions of both doors. This suggests that the volume of the refrigerating and freezing chambers here, if not identical, is very similar. Indeed, it is 205 and 159 liters, respectively. Do you like to keep a large supply of semi-finished products and meat products at home? Then ATLANT XM 4625-101 was created just for you! It is difficult to imagine a person who does not have enough of such a large freezer. Yes, and the refrigeration compartment can not be called small - here just fit the products of the average Russian family.

Please note that the minimum temperature in the freezer is −18 ° C. Many drip refrigerators are capable of yielding and −24 ° C. Another thing - is it necessary so low temperature? As for the freezing capacity, it reaches 7.2 kg per day here - quite an acceptable result.

Despite the LED lighting used here, the refrigerator consumes 323 kWh per year. As a result, the experts awarded the device with the energy class A +. In a word, not the best result. But the unit is able to boast of quiet work - in the kitchen it is barely audible. Another product received glass shelves. This is important, because metal shelves can sag under the weight of some heavy pans of soup. The weight of the refrigerator is 76 kg.

BEKO RCSK 335M20 W

Rating: 4.4

It must be the simplest fridge that you can imagine now. At least, if we talk about devices with drip defrosting system. At the same time for 23 thousand rubles. the buyer receives a roomy device, whose height reaches 201 cm. The total volume of the internal space is 331 liters. 118 l fall on the freezer - I think that this number will suit the majority of buyers. It should be noted that there is an antibacterial coating inside the 213-liter refrigerating chamber - for such an inexpensive device this seems unexpected. And glass shelves are pleasantly surprising - usually cheap refrigerators receive shelves made of metal or even plastic. But most of all some people will be pleased with a weight not exceeding 58 kg. Two adult men should easily bring such a refrigerator to the kitchen.

Despite the budget status, this model is capable of boasting a sound indication of an open door. And pleasantly surprised by the power of freezing, reaching 7 kg per day. And if we also recall the indication of temperature, then you do not understand at all why the device received such a low cost. It seems that the price tag was influenced by obsolete rotary switches, which are used to regulate the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Also, it should be noted that this refrigerator makes a bit more noise than the competitors discussed above. But it consumes relatively little electricity, even for its class A +. If you like accuracy, then each year the device consumes about 294 kWh of electricity.

It remains to be regretted that in Russia the minimum number of retail chains is trading in such a droplet fridge. Otherwise, he could be a real hit! However, perhaps, the refrigerator from this and not in retail chains, because it sells very quickly?

Conclusion

This can finish our story. Now you know what a drip cooler is different from a device that supports NoFrost technology. You know about which models you should pay attention to. And do not forget that even the best refrigerator has a number of drawbacks, which you will have to put up with. We honestly mention this.
