How to choose and what to look for?

When choosing a refrigerator whose cost is below 30,000 rubles, you need to know which of the characteristics of the device should be decisive when choosing.

They include:

1. Volume and number of chambers. There are one-, two- and multi-chamber refrigerators. In the first case, there is only a small compartment for short-term storage of chilled products. Such devices are popular with people living alone or in offices. Small two-chamber devices, with a volume of 200-300 liters, with compartments for cooling and freezing, can meet the needs of a small family of two or three people. if the family is large or you often receive guests, you will need a refrigerator with a total useful volume of 500-700 liters. These devices are not included in the budget category and are not considered in this article.
2. Technical device dimensions. Even before buying, you need to decide on the location of the refrigerator and the amount of free space in your kitchen.
3. Type of defrost system. The most inexpensive varieties are often equipped with a manual defrosting system for the freezer. More modern ones have a drip defrost system or a NoFrost system, which significantly saves time and effort on maintenance and care of the appliance.
4. Climate class. Determines the possible conditions for the operation of the refrigerator. Some devices can be installed near heating devices or vice versa, in rooms where there is no heating at all. When buying, this parameter is not always given due attention, but it is important for extending the life of the equipment.
5. Type and number of compressors. The cooling system can be thermoelectric or compressor. The first ones are almost silent, but consume a lot of electricity and are sensitive to operating conditions, especially in summer. The second type is the most common. The compressor can be one, producing simultaneous cooling of the refrigeration and freezing compartments. Alternatively, each chamber may have its own compressor. This allows for more precise temperature control. Such a device for models of the budget segment is uncharacteristic. In addition, compressors can be divided into linear - operating in the on-off mode and inverter, operating constantly, but at different power levels. The second type is less noisy, more economical and durable.
6. Operating noise figures. This parameter largely depends on what type of compressor is installed in the appliance and is of particular importance in cases where a refrigerator is installed in a living room, and not in a kitchen. Quiet devices are those whose noise level does not exceed 40 dB.
7. Energy saving. Since the refrigerator is a device that works without breaks and weekends, it is important to choose the most economical model. It will be marked A, A+, A++ or A+++.
8. Shelf material. The most hygienic and durable shelves are made from durable glass.
9. Additional options. Often, refrigerators become more expensive, and at the same time, you will have to decide for yourself how useful and necessary they are.

These can include:

• the presence of an antibacterial coating;
• built-in carbon filter to eliminate odors;
• indication of a long opening of the door;
• autonomous maintenance of cold during a power outage;
• super-freezing mode, which implies short-term cooling of products to an extremely low temperature;
• the presence of a manual dispenser for storing chilled water;
• built-in ice maker;
• brightness and location of lighting devices in the refrigerator;
• the possibility of re-hanging the doors to the desired side.
