Rotary type - the most compact, but also the rarest
Rotary type compressors are quite rare. The circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system of refrigerators equipped with rotary compressors occurs due to changes in pressure in the suction and discharge chambers due to rotation of the rotor. Example - refrigerator With equal cooling capacity, the dimensions of a rotary compressor are significantly smaller than a piston compressor. Rotary compressors, like linear ones, are not produced in Russia and neighboring countries.
Factors affecting compressor quality _
- The quality of the metal used.
- Reliability of damper springs and fastenings.
- Precision assembly and balancing.

"Biryusa-132"
This refrigerator was released relatively long ago, but it is in demand due to the volume of the chamber. The total is 330 liters. This characteristic is ideal for the Biryusa refrigerator. The freezer has two compartments. You have to defrost them manually. A special tray is used to collect melt water. When the air temperature in the chamber rises, the freezing system automatically turns on.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts itself. Many buyers praise the manufacturer for this. The shelves in it are made of thick glass and can support 22 kg of weight. In reviews, buyers confirm that they are really durable and hard to break.

- There is noise when the compressors operate.
Main selection criteria
In fact, choosing a new modern refrigeration unit for your home is not very difficult.
The main thing is to take into account the wishes of living family members, to know what functionality the models sold have, and what are the criteria for making the right choice. Below are some of the most defining criteria for potential buyers to consider:
- Dimensions and volume produced by the Krasnoyarsk Refrigeration Plant. When choosing them, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions, the values of which are always indicated in the technical data sheet of the unit, and compare with preliminary measurements of the place in your apartment where it is expected to be installed. The volume of the purchased refrigerator is calculated to be approximately 30 liters per person. It is also important how often they will be purchased and how long they are expected to be stored. Refrigerators can have a capacity from 45 to 380 liters in volume.
- The defrosting type of these refrigerators is predominantly manual. But some modern models use the No Frost automatic defrosting system:
- During manual defrosting, the device is disconnected from the power when all the ice has melted; the chambers are washed, dried, and then reloaded with food.
- In order to fuss less with defrosting, to save energy consumption, it is better to choose refrigerator models with an automatic “no frost” mode. Such devices can only be defrosted once a year!
- There is also a semi-automatic defrosting mode (“crying” system), when freezing and thawing cycles alternate, and melt water is collected in a special container and evaporates.
- Automatic defrosting mode using No Frost technology is increasingly being used in models of these refrigerators.
Advice. With this function, caring for the refrigerator is very simple, but the food becomes more weathered. They must be packaged well so that moisture is not lost from them.
- The noise level of these refrigeration units is quite low, especially for models with one compressor. But there are a number of sounds that are included, so to speak, in the “mandatory program” declared by the manufacturers and are: clicks produced by the relay sensor when the temperature changes;
- the murmur of refrigerant placed in the refrigerator, which circulates through special tubes of the refrigeration system;
- slight cracking due to temperature deformation of materials.
All these noises are not associated with any problems in the system, but are functional in nature.
- The climate class, as a rule, is indicated in the technical passport of the refrigerator, means the temperature range used and the degree of humidity during normal operation of the refrigeration unit, in particular: N, normal climate type when the device operates in the temperature range from +16 to +32 ° C;
- SN, subnormal climate class when the device operates in the temperature range from +10 to +32°C;
- ST, subtropical climate type for refrigerator operation in the temperature range from +10 to +32°C;
- T, tropical type refrigerator models for operation of the device from +17 to +42°C.
Dimensions and capacity
I mean, if you are looking for a small refrigerator, then it will be either in the country house or in a small kitchen. However, small refrigerators are also different. For example, Biryusa's height varies greatly - pay attention to this.
Regarding the volume of the chamber, I can say one thing: the more products you are used to cooling and freezing, the larger the volume of the refrigeration and freezer compartments should be. Please note that the review models feature a low-temperature compartment that is not intended for long-term frozen storage. I'll talk more about this in the practical description.
Refrigerator ergonomics
In the review models of Biryusa refrigerators, the refrigeration compartment occupies the main volume. I advise you to pay attention to the number of guides, thanks to which you can rearrange the shelves. The more there are, the more opportunities you have to organize the internal space at your discretion.
I would like to draw your attention to the material of the shelves – glass. This is a highly durable material that can withstand heavy loads, so you don't have to worry about it. In addition, glass is preferable to grilles as it effectively retains spilled liquids. However, there is also a drawback - such shelves interfere with the uniform distribution of cold (this is typical only for budget models).
Defrost type
If the freezer compartments of Biryusa refrigerators are defrosted purely manually, which actually deprives you of choice, then in the refrigerator compartment things are different. You have the option to prefer manual or drip defrosting. The latter option is much more convenient, although to be honest, it is recommended to turn off the device at least once a year. Therefore, look at the price of the model and focus on what is more convenient for you.
Control system
The Biryusa plant offers electromechanical control of the refrigerator. You will lose a little flexibility in settings, but will gain reliability and long service life. Such a system is not afraid of network fluctuations or power outages, so you can install the device even in the village at your grandfather’s place or in the garage.
Energy efficiency
This is also an important selection factor. Why do you need a device that significantly increases your electricity bills? After all, this is the 21st century and you can safely purchase an effective device, even if it belongs to the economy segment. Choose class A, A+ energy efficiency - you won’t regret it.
Noise level
If you require comfort, you should choose refrigerators with a rating of no more than 40 dB. Only then will you be able to sleep peacefully (assuming the installation should be in a studio apartment), watch a movie and chat in the kitchen.

Features of equipment operation
Reviews from owners of domestic refrigerators indicate that, subject to proper installation and compliance with all operating standards, they operate stably for a long time without requiring repairs.
The basic rules of use are described in the instructions that come with each unit.
Most of them apply to all devices without exception:
- In order not to break the tightness, it is strictly forbidden to use sharp or heating objects to remove frost and snow deposits from the walls;
- It is more advisable to install the device in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from radiators, radiators, heaters, and stoves;
- Before starting a new refrigerator, it is recommended to wash the components with a warm soapy solution and soda, then wipe dry and ventilate thoroughly;
- Do not place hot foods in the chamber, as they release moisture that settles on the walls;
- Only clean and fresh products should be frozen;
- if possible, it is advisable to place food in a container or pack it in a plastic bag, sorting individual types into different shelves and compartments;
- defrosting must be carried out immediately after the thickness of the cover exceeds 5-8 mm, carefully removing the water that appears.
Refrigerator doors should not be opened too often. It is important to ensure that the equipment is not left open for long. Otherwise, it will increase energy consumption and reduce its overall performance.
Hygienic measures for cleaning and cleaning the refrigerator are carried out using products that do not contain abrasive components.
For outer walls, it is better to purchase cleaning compounds that are aimed specifically at stainless steel surfaces.
You can remove unpleasant odors using folk remedies using solutions of water with vinegar or soda, ammonia or a drop of lemon juice.
In order to protect against sudden changes in the electrical network, experts advise using a stabilizer that prevents sudden voltage surges that cause serious damage to the refrigerator.

Reviews of Biryusa refrigerators contain more positive aspects than negative ones. The disadvantages of these devices are insignificant. Build quality, functionality, characteristics, prices - all this is at the best level. Many buyers note that these refrigerators are able to compete even with imported appliances.
Reviews note the following advantages: spaciousness, efficiency, high-quality refrigerant, and the presence of additional technologies. Let's look at everything separately.
- Freezing and refrigerating devices have a large number of shelves, drawers, and chambers. Thanks to this, they are able to accommodate a large number of products. Judging by customer reviews, it is best for families to buy a refrigerator with two chambers. And more compact models are suitable for an office or office.
- Electricity class - A. Over the course of a year, the refrigerator consumes about 270 kW, this is confirmed by customers.
- The refrigerant is R600a. It is considered the most harmless, as it does not have synthetic components. In addition, it does not deplete the ozone layer and has a good COP.
- Buyers confirm that the refrigerator has two additional technologies: No Frost and Low Frost. The latter is a drip system. Refrigerators with these options should not be defrosted; they will defrost on their own.
And additional advantages in reviews include electronic control using special buttons and good fastenings. Refrigerators can withstand mechanical damage.

Recommendations for selection
Below are some tips for choosing the right Biryusa refrigerator in order to decide which one is best to buy for your apartment:
- It is necessary to take into account the number of people who will use it. The optimal choice of the required volume of the refrigeration unit is made at the rate of 80-120 liters per person.
- Take measurements of the intended installation location of the refrigerator and compare them with the dimensions of the selected model (all necessary data on the refrigeration device can be found in its technical data sheet).
Advice. Make sure that the refrigerator is no closer than 15 cm from the heating radiators, that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight, and that proper ventilation is provided, for which the distance from the refrigerator to any wall must be at least 10 cm.
- Depending on the need and purpose of purchasing a refrigerator, a single-chamber or two-chamber model is selected, with the freezer located at the top or bottom.
- Think in advance about access to the refrigerator in your kitchen, which side is better and more convenient to open the doors from. There are devices on sale with the ability to move the doors to the side that is more convenient for you.
- Decide which method of defrosting the refrigerator is right for you (manual, drip or automatic).
- The noise level produced by the device is also important. Refrigerators with a noise level of no more than 40 dB are considered optimal and fairly quiet.
- As for the functionality, it all depends on the preferences of the potential buyer and his financial capabilities.

The best two-chamber refrigerators
Double-chamber products are more popular in everyday life. They are ideal for family use: in the lower compartment there is a spacious freezer, and in the upper compartment there is a refrigerator, usually having a capacity of 240 liters. All modern manufacturers focus on such products, and the Biryusa company does not lag behind them. True, Biryusa compares favorably with foreign manufacturers of household appliances in prices. The most luxurious models cost no more than 20 thousand rubles.
Biryusa 380NF
This is the manufacturer's most expensive model. It compares favorably with the rest of the model range not only in its spaciousness and abundance of additional shelves, but also in its functions. Both chambers, the freezer with a capacity of 130 liters, and the refrigerator with a capacity of 240 liters, are protected from the formation of ice.
During defrosting, the ice is converted into water by the drip method, which prevents too much moisture from accumulating. The shelves are made of tempered glass, additional side shelves are made of durable plastic. In the freezer compartment, all products are securely fixed thanks to additional drawers. The interior of the product is illuminated by LED lamps that consume minimal energy.
Along with the unit itself, the buyer receives an oiler, as well as an egg stand. It is worth noting that even after a power outage, the device operates for another 17 hours in autonomous mode.
Advantages:
- for a refrigerator of this class, the price of 20 thousand is very low;
- protection against ice formation;
- silent operation;
- no vibration;
- spacious chambers;
- possibility to choose the color of the case: white, chromed metal, beige, graphite.
Flaws:
- not found.
Biryusa 129 S
You can purchase this unit for only 19 thousand rubles. The capacity of the freezer and refrigerator compartment is even higher than that of the previous representative - 135 liters and 245 liters, respectively. The product also withstands 17 hours of cooling in offline mode. The only thing that the owner should take into account if he installs equipment in the country or in another place with constant fluctuations in electricity is sensitive wiring. To prevent it from burning out and causing equipment breakdowns, it is advisable to purchase a home stabilizer.
The refrigerator boasts impressive performance. The freezer compartment can freeze up to 12 kg of food in 24 hours. At the same time, annual energy consumption remains within the acceptable range, and the unit itself corresponds to class A in terms of nutrition. The dimensions are quite acceptable even for those with low ceilings - 60x62.5x207 cm.
Advantages:
- price 19 thousand rubles;
- several design variations to choose from;
- capacity;
- low energy consumption;
- both doors can be reversed;
- high performance;

Biryusa M149
If desired, this model can be purchased at a price of 15 thousand rubles. Such an affordable price is offered by individual stores on promotion. The usual price for the product is 16.5-18 thousand rubles. This is very little money for a unit with dimensions of 2070x600x625 mm and a total capacity of 380 liters. 135 liters are allocated for the freezer, and 245 for the refrigerator compartment. This is fully consistent with modern standards. Even a large family will have enough space to accommodate all perishable and frozen foods.
Electricity consumption is quite low, power is 100 W, so the unit is suitable even for old houses with worn-out wiring. The body can be of various colors, the most popular model is metallic. It is important to note that the weight of the product is 81 kg, so it is impossible to do without loaders and special equipment for transportation. If the unit is not transported correctly, refrigerant may be lost.

Advantages:
- low price;
- easy to find spare parts or additional accessories for improvement;
- roomy model;
- keeps cold up to 17 hours;
- minimum temperature -18 and 0 degrees in different compartments;

Biryusa 127
A product with a weight of 68 kg and dimensions of 1900x600x625 mm will appeal to those with low ceilings. Even if part of the upper space is occupied by a hood pipe or other obstacle, the unit will easily fit in the space allocated to it. Of course, as the dimensions decrease, the capacity of the device suffers. The freezer compartment has been reduced to 100 liters compared to the standard 130. One shelf has been removed. However, the refrigerator compartment remains just as convenient: 245 liters can easily accommodate various products.
By reducing the dimensions, it was possible to achieve a more affordable price. Without any promotions, this model can be purchased for 15 thousand rubles. It is ideal for a medium-sized family.

Cons of refrigerators
Of course, in the reviews of Biryusa refrigerators there are also negative comments. Buyers do not notice very critical disadvantages, but they may cause discomfort for some.
If the door is not closed within 10-20 seconds, an unpleasant sound is triggered. The doors have inconvenient shelves. The handles are made of too fragile plastic. Some buyers report that they accidentally deformed them. Drops of water flow down the back wall of the device.
These shortcomings are insignificant, and given that refrigerators are inexpensive, many buyers turn a blind eye to them.
