Thanks to refrigerators, people have the opportunity to store food for a long time. But the main chamber allows you to preserve freshness for just a few days or weeks. If you make preparations for the winter, love semi-finished products and similar products, then for this you definitely need a spacious freezer. Moreover, the equipment may have a different distribution of volume between the chambers, and if you do not need a very large main compartment, then you can choose the appropriate model. For a large family, popular brands have the best refrigerators with a large freezer and refrigerator compartment. Both options are presented in this rating.
Criterias of choice
In order for the device to serve for a long period, it is necessary to approach the choice with all responsibility. It is recommended to take into account the following criteria:
- Freezing type. The dry type of food freezing is most often chosen. Since drip leads to the accumulation of frost and requires regular defrosting.
- Number of cameras. Modern models may have different numbers of cameras. Therefore, when choosing a refrigerator, this criterion must be taken into account individually.
- Number of compressors. The best option for a refrigerator with two chambers is 2 compressors. Compressors will be able to operate in full mode and maintain the required temperature throughout the entire device.
- Antibacterial coating. This coating prevents the risk of harmful organisms that negatively affect the quality of the products.
- Freshness zone. This additional function allows you to keep the product fresh thanks to a specially selected temperature.
- Energy consumption. This criterion is very important; it is recommended to give preference to A+++ models.
- Control type. Can be mechanical or electronic. Modern models are most often found with an electronic type of control, since this criterion facilitates the process of caring for the device;
- Freezer size. This criterion is selected individually by each user, but most often buyers give preference to volumetric freezers.
Also, when choosing a refrigerator, you need to consider the type of installation. For a built-in kitchen, preference should be given to narrow models that take up a small amount of space.
LG GC-B247 JVUV
The Korean brand has been producing refrigerators since 1965. The GC-B247 JVUV model is assembled in China at LG's own factory. Price - from 65 to 73 thousand rubles.
The two-chamber model has the same location of the freezer as in the Bosch KAI90VI20 - Side by Side (on the side), and energy consumption in terms of the difference in total volumes of 110 liters (613/523) is almost the same (438/432 kW/year).
Savings of 32% are achieved due to the inverter linear compressor without a reciprocating drive, but with a linear piston drive. Plus, the manufacturer provides a 10-year warranty on the compressor. Excellent ergonomics of the internal space of the refrigeration chamber with independent adjustment to user requirements. As in the Bosch KAI90VI20, a system for prolonged preservation of vegetables, herbs, and fruits is provided with the Moist Balance Crisper system. Condensation collects on the top lid of the box, removing excess moisture. Then there is a uniform “spraying” of water vapor onto the products.
Freezing power, as in HIGBERG RFQ-490DX NFB – 12 kg/day.
Moist Balance Crisper moisture support. Control via smartphone and SmartThinQ app. You can receive notifications about the door being open for a long time, control the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, turn on or off express freezing, save energy with the “vacation” mode, and do Smart Diagnostic.
Pros:
- Quiet noise level - up to 41 dB, lower only for the Sharp SJ-F95STBE.
- Control from a smartphone.
- Increased safety - protection from children.
- A special humidity zone for long-term preservation of the freshness of vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
Minuses:
- No ice maker or super cooling.
- Does not retain cold when disconnected from the power source.
A modern model, economical in energy consumption of 438 kW/year, volumetric freezer - 394 l, as in Sharp SJ-F95STBE.
