15 Best Refrigerators for Home
by Editorial Staff
Refrigerators are a must-have technique in everyday life, but what do we know about them? It would seem that everyone has it, but only a few understand the advantages and disadvantages of different models. And this baffles many ordinary buyers who do not know what to buy among all the variety of models. Of course, the most reasonable decision, in this case, is to purchase a product of a well-known brand. But we propose to take a more responsible approach to the implementation of the task.

Classification
- By the type of freezing - there are two technologies: drip (freezing of frost, snow) and No Frost (dry freezing). The first option involves the periodic shutdown of equipment and defrosting of the chambers. More advanced analogs based on know frost do not need additional care, the automation will do it for you;
- by the number of chambers - modern refrigerators can have from 2 to 6 chambers. Obviously, the shape of this or that model depends on the number of compartments. Among the most common home solutions, I would like to highlight the French Door (there are two chambers at the top, a freezer at the bottom), Side-by-Side (the freezer compartment is located on the side of the main chamber); two-compartment refrigerators (depending on the type of compressor, the freezer can be on the bottom or on the top);
- by type of control - models with mechanical controls are more reliable, they are not afraid of voltage surges, but analogs are less convenient. At the same time, today the overwhelming majority of manufacturers are still focusing on electronically controlled dry-freeze units. If you plan to purchase a powerful refrigerator of the latter type, we recommend getting an additional voltage stabilizer and connecting the equipment through it;
- according to the method of installation - for the house, there are free-standing (2-, 3-, 4-chamber models) and built-in refrigerators (as a rule, 2- and 3-chamber);
- by the type of compressor - drip models work on the basis of linear motors, but analogs with dry freezing can work both on conventional rotary and inverter systems. The second option is more popular, economical, expensive, and effective, but less reliable and cheap.
How to Choose a Good Refrigerator?
- Useful volume - from 200 to 250 liters is enough for 2-3 people, up to 350 liters for 4-5 people;
- A number of cameras - there are no criteria here that could influence your decision. It is important to consider that the more compartments there are, the easier it is to organize the storage space for specific products. Advice! If you buy a drip refrigerator, it is better to have the freezer on top;
- Power - this value determines how much food the model can freeze per day from room temperature to −18 ° C. Accordingly, the choice of performance depends only on your needs and the number of family members;
- A number of compressors - if there are three chambers in the refrigerator, but it has only one unit, then it will cool the compartments in turn. Optimal for two chambers are two compressors, with the types and features of which you are already familiar;
- Energy consumption is another important para that depends on many characteristics of the equipment. It is important to highlight the following: the classes are denoted in Latin letters from A to C. The first is more economical. At the same time, the presence of a "+" sign indicates an improved indicator of energy efficiency. The benchmark is A +++.
Good Inexpensive Refrigerators
In the budget segment, you can most often find two-compartment drip refrigerators with manual defrosting. An alternative option is some low-power analog with dry freezing based on a rotary compressor. As practice shows, inexpensive models with No Frost and inverter compressors serve little, since the technology itself is more expensive. We do not consider them in this category. If you find this type of freezing in the description of some unknown brand, think several times before buying a refrigerator. Collecting models in this category, we focused on customer reviews and objective characteristics for the price category.
Gorenje RK 4171 ANX
The top 15 refrigerators are opened by the budget model RK 4171 ANX with a drip cooling system from the Gorenje company. As you can see in the image, the 68-liter freezer is located at the bottom. The total volume is 273 liters. Speaking about the strengths of the model, I would like to highlight the A + energy class, simple mechanical control, a 5-year warranty, and high-quality assembly. The noise level is only 42 dB. The freezing capacity is also quite high and amounts to 3 kilograms per day. Additional advantages include the presence of 4 glass shelves, a shelf holder, a container for vegetables. The total weight of the structure is 50 kilograms.
Pros:
- good performance;
- high-quality construction;
- optimal volume;
- low noise level.
Cons:
- few options.
ATLANT МХМ 2835-08
In the segment of good and inexpensive refrigerators, there was a model of a well-known brand on the market - ATLANT МХМ 2835-08. The device is designed for use at ambient temperatures from +16 ° C to +32 ° C. At the same time, the presence of the FRESH system guarantees the creation of different climatic zones in the range from -18 ° C to +10 ° C. Natural circulation of air and moisture protects food from drying, which favorably distinguishes the novelty against the background of analogs with the No Frost system. As for the frost, it is accumulated and sent to a special container, where it evaporates later. Another plus is the low noise level: from 39 to 42 dB. The total volume of the chambers is 280 liters. Energy class A +.
Pros:
- quiet work;
- economical model;
- good build;
- FRESH system.
Cons:
- budget compressor.
Indesit RTM 016
The best budget refrigerator is the Indesit RTM 016 model, the only drawback of which is energy class A. At the same time, the device differs in the small dimensions of the main and freezer chambers. The freezing speed is 24 kilograms per hour, which means significant productivity. The total volume of the chambers is 296 liters, of which 51 liters are in the freezer. Simple mechanical control deserves special attention. In addition, a reliable manufacturer has taken care of the good quality of the compressor, other structural details, up to containers and adjustable feet. A total of 4 adjustable shelves have been implemented, which is quite enough to meet the needs of a small family.
Pros:
- convenient control;
- good performance;
- optimal volume;
- interior fittings.
Cons:
- not found.
Best Built-in Refrigerators
In this category, there are models designed to save free space. At the same time, there are no restrictions in terms of the type of compressor, functionality, or freezing technology. You shouldn't believe the stereotypes that embedded models are less efficient - nothing depends on the form factor of the box. The only difference is that the maximum allowable volume of such devices is less. However, much is not needed for the house. In this category, mainly two-chamber models are collected, which are in greatest demand among ordinary users.
Weissgauff WRKI 2801 MD
In the list of the best built-in refrigerators, the Weissgauff WRKI 2801 MD model also looks noteworthy, personifying good capacity, simple operation, and reliable assembly. The device will receive a modern cooling system, it can maintain an optimal moisture level. There is a SMART mode that makes it easier to control temperature and moisture because you do not need to constantly apply settings manually. Another interesting mode is SUPER, which allows you to increase the freezing power to the maximum.

Pros:
- SMART mode;
- cooling system;

Cons:

Liebherr IK 3520
Among the variety of good built-in refrigerators, the Liebherr IK 3520 model stands out not only for its practical design and good build quality but also for the All-Around Cooling technology. The device provides for uniform cooling of each corner of the working chamber. There are two sensors in the chamber, which do an excellent job of monitoring temperature colds. An effective result is also achieved due to the presence of a huge number of ventilation holes, each of which directs air to a specific shelf. The inside of the chamber is also well thought out: there is an Easy Slide pull-out shelf, a good range of additional containers. Thanks to No Frost technology, you don't have to worry about frost. The functional model is powered by an inverter compressor with a 10-year warranty.
Pros:
- many shelves and drawers;

This device attracts by the presence of a powerful PowerCooling system, which guarantees really fast and high-quality cooling of various products, as well as maintaining the optimal temperature inside the entire chamber. The air is distributed not only quickly but evenly. Automatic shutdown is provided by the built-in contact switch. The humidity level is controlled by sensors. Also in the BioCool container for long-term storage of vegetables and fruits. The noise level of this model is 34 dB. Climatic class: SN-TX.

- pull-out shelves;
- practical design;
- All-Around Cooling system.

Most Reliable Refrigerators
The service life of these household appliances primarily depends on the defrosting system. The incident is that the simpler the technology, the longer the service life. For obvious reasons, drip two-chamber models are considered the most reliable refrigerators. As practice shows, analogs with No Frost have a more complex design, which is less reliable and durable. Its indisputable plus is functionality and convenience. Combined models with a No Frost freezer and a drip refrigerator are even more complex. Such units are the most convenient, but due to their complex design, the least durable. However, the more complex the structure, the more expensive the repair.
Liebherr Cef 4025
As you already understood, Liebherr has in recent years offered an extensive range of top-end refrigerators, attracting high levels of reliability, functionality, and ease of use. In particular, the Cef 4025 model attracts with its A ++ energy efficiency class and low noise level. The usable volume of the two chambers is 357 liters, of which 88 liters goes to the freezer. The additional goodies include a simple, but quite informative 2.4-inch touch screen based on a TFT matrix. Of course, not the best result, but this is not a TV either. As for the functions, there is nothing to complain about: there are enough shelves, there is a malfunction alarm, Frost Control, child protection. However, comments indicate that the number of shelves is not enough for everyone. This is a good refrigerator for a large family.
Pros:
- touch screen;
- good volume;
- excellent build;
- high power.
Cons:
- questionable coverage.
Electrolux EN 3454 NOX
Another reliable refrigerator with a high energy efficiency class (A ++). The Electrolux EN 3454 NOX model with a 92-liter bottom freezer is made in stainless steel. The volume of the main chamber is 226 liters. At the same time, the system of dynamic air circulation deserves special attention, which allows the device to maintain an optimal, uniform temperature. This extends the shelf life of various foods. It should be added that the manufacturer has taken care of the rational use of the main chamber space: there are two shelves, a compartment for storing bottles, a tray for eggs, special boxes for vegetables and fruits. Temperature control is accompanied by both visual and audible signals.
Pros:
- energy class;
- enough shelves;
- simple adjustment;
- quiet model.
Cons:
- not found.
Bosch KGE39XK2AR
In our opinion, the most reliable two-compartment refrigerator is the KGE39XK2AR model from the German manufacturer Bosch. This device supports NatureCool technology, which is responsible for preserving the natural freshness, taste, and aroma of vegetables and fruits. It is a function for maintaining an optimal humidity level. Even more efficiently used space is guaranteed by the VarioXL system. As for the service life, everything is easily explained by the German quality standards. Representatives of the NatureCool line are created by the brand's engineers in Germany. The compressor has a 10-year warranty. However, the internal details are also excellently implemented. In particular, bright and long-lasting illumination is provided by TWIN LEDs for a long time. The pluses include the SuperFreezing function for fast freezing and LowFrost to reduce icing.
Pros:
- compressor warranty;
- backlight quality;
- excellent build;
- quiet work;
- energy efficiency class.
Cons:
- no.
Best No Frost Refrigerators
As already mentioned, the main advantage of dry-freeze refrigerators is the fully automated process. During the defrosting of the unit, water droplets flow into a similar container, as in the case of drip models, but the process itself takes place inside the case - we do not see it. The walls of the refrigerator remain dry. It should be added that today most manufacturers create refrigerators with No Frost based on inverter compressors - they are more economical but break down more often. It is important that the manufacturer gives an additional warranty for the compressor. Such models are collected in this category.
Ginzzu NFK-465 Steel
Let's start with the NoFrost-powered Ginzzu NFK-465 Steel, which has a total volume of 476 liters. The advantages of technology include stylish design, defrosting, excellent build quality.

The developers have equipped their product with an excellent inverter motor, the power of which is quite enough to work with a truly large chamber volume (472 liters). At the same time, manufacturers have taken care of a good level of power consumption, quiet operation. The control is completely electronic: a modern temperature control system is provided, there is control over the state of the refrigerating and freezing chambers.

The volume of the refrigerator is 397 liters, which is quite enough for a large family. Of the features, it should be noted the Natural Ion Tech technology, which is responsible for the removal of 99.9% of bacteria in the air. Thanks to Maxi Fresh, all unpleasant aromas are absorbed. Due to the support of Humidity Control, it is possible to set the optimum humidity level for the compartments where vegetables and fruits are stored.

Best Refrigerators for Price and Quality
In this segment, the best two-chamber models are presented in the price/quality ratio with the No Frost freezing system. Obviously, such units have the most complex design, which is more exposed to risks than others. For this reason, it is quite difficult to find affordable models with this technology. We do not recommend focusing on the most advanced models from little-known brands, as this can result in regular calls to the service center. This category contains the most advanced, powerful, and relevant models on the market.
LG GA-B419 SYGL
If you are looking for a two-compartment refrigerator with a bottom freezer compartment, we recommend that you pay attention to the GA-B419 SYGL from LG. The useful volume of this unit is 354 liters.

Pull-out shelves are a vivid confirmation of this. For storing large products, there is another additional shelf called Easy Slide. The No Frost technology, in turn, guarantees fast cooling of the working chambers, without creating any problems in the form of ice. It is difficult to find fault with the quality of the structures, the variety of shelves and drawers. However, as well as to the noise level, design, and reliability of the South Korean manufacturer. For obvious reasons, this device takes first place in our top in its price category.
