17 best freezers for the home

*A review of the best according to the editors of expertology.ru. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Do you live in a private house with a spacious kitchen? Do you harvest a huge amount of meat, fish and berries every summer? In this case, you can not do without a separate freezer. And in order not to miscalculate the choice, you should familiarize yourself with our selection of the best models.

How to choose a freezer

To decide on a specific freezer, it is necessary to evaluate the space allocated for its installation. The fact is that all existing models are conditionally divided into two types:

1. Compact freezers — have a very small height, and therefore the device can even fit under the table. Such freezers are often found in hotel rooms, as well as in communal apartments.

2. Conventional freezers are comparable in size to traditional refrigerators.

It should also be noted the existence of built-in freezers that can be hidden in the kitchen. But such models are produced in limited quantities, so they are relatively rare in stores.

You should also consider whether your freezer will support No Frost technology. Such a device will not require regular defrosting throughout its service life, as the fans located inside will fight against the appearance of frost and ice. But such a freezer will be more expensive than a fellow with manual defrosting. Which, by the way, still will not actively collect ice in itself, especially if it has a good build quality. Modern freezers are not Soviet-made appliances that had to be defrosted every two months or even more often.

Next, consider the volume. It is logical that compact models are less capacious, while standard ones can be arbitrarily large. A freezer with a volume of 90-110 liters is enough for a student, while a family of three or four people is better off with a freezer with a volume of about 150-200 liters. Provided you do not have a refrigerator with a built-in freezer. Also on sale you can find especially large freezers with a volume of up to 350 liters. These are used, for example, in restaurants and other places of public catering.

Different freezers can differ from each other in their class.In the technical passport, it is marked with one or another number of asterisks. We recommend looking towards a freezer with a rating of at least *** — such an appliance will provide a temperature of -18 ° C, at which most products are stored for about half a year. There are also freezers of class ****, the temperature inside which can drop to an even lower value, as a result of which the shelf life of food grows up to a year.

We advise you to pay attention to freezing power. This characteristic determines how many products you can place in the freezer at a time, bringing them, for example, from the store. If you are engaged in hunting or breeding rabbits, then it is recommended to look towards a model that has a freezing capacity of 15-17 kg / day. For the rest of the people, much less is enough.

When choosing a freezer, you should focus on all sorts of additional features:

1. Control type — can be electronic or mechanical. It depends on how accurately you can set the temperature. Practice also shows that mechanical control is less reliable.

2. Quick freeze function — contributes to a better preservation of products if they are placed in the chamber not frozen.

3. Connecting to a smart home or smartphone — allows you to control the freezer remotely. Perhaps the least important feature.

4. Child lock — useful if you have or are planning a child who loves to press all kinds of buttons. Relevant for electronic control type, when the buttons and display are in plain sight.

5. Automatic transition to economy mode at partial load — a rare but very useful feature that allows you to save electricity.

The technical characteristics of any freezer contains a large number of other parameters. One of the most important of these is the energy class. Ideally, it should correspond to at least A+. Also, many manufacturers indicate the exact number of kWh consumed per year of use of the freezer in average operation, which allows you to understand how much money it will take to maintain it.

As for the climate class, when buying a device in the official distribution network, you can ignore it, since it will exactly correspond to our climate zone. In other cases, make sure that the data sheet contains the letters ST. You should not rack your brains over the noise level either — often the numbers indicated by the manufacturer turn out to be far from the truth. Instead, it is better to read customer reviews and detailed reviews in which this point is discussed separately.

By the way, when compiling our rating, we focused on the opinions of real buyers. If people write that the device has significant drawbacks, then it has practically no chance of getting into our selection. We also got acquainted with reviews from specialized publications, which usually contain specific tests and the numbers obtained during them.

The best manufacturers of freezers

1. Samsung — This South Korean company has been specializing in the creation of refrigerators for many years. But there are also freezers in its range, often with a number of unique technologies — for example, the function of connecting to a smart home.

2. Liebherr is a well-known German manufacturer of mining dump trucks and other material handling equipment. Also engaged in the creation of refrigeration equipment, including freezers.

3. Indesit is an Italian manufacturer of household appliances. Existed since 1975, but was bought by Whirpool Corporation in 2014. However, freezers continued to be sold under the Italian brand.

4. Electrolux is a Swedish giant, mainly specializing in the creation of large household appliances. Often, a manufactured product receives a number of modern technologies, which is why it has a very high price tag.

5. haier is a Chinese company founded in 1984. Now he produces high-quality products at relatively low prices. Freezers of this company can be found in many countries, including Russia.

6. Midea is a Chinese manufacturer of household appliances founded in 1968. Some products come off the assembly lines of factories owned by Samsung and other world-famous companies. That is why the design of Midea freezers may seem too familiar.

9. Biryusa — a trademark owned by the Krasnoyarsk refrigerator factory. The company was founded in 1963. It is mainly engaged in the creation of inexpensive refrigeration equipment. One should not expect any unusual technologies from Biryusa freezers. Some of them have support for the No Frost system — and thanks for that.

10. BEKO is a brand owned by a Turkish manufacturer of household appliances. Exists since 1967. Basically, under it, a relatively inexpensive product is distributed. That is why you should not expect unusual opportunities from Beko freezers.

11. Dexp — under this brand, relatively inexpensive freezers are sold, made specifically for the DNS trading network.

Rating of the best freezers

The best compact freezers

Liebherr FrostProtect Gsl 1223

Rating: 4.9

Usually a compact freezer is bought due to a lack of funds. If you do not have such a problem, we recommend that you pay attention to Liebherr FrostProtect Gsl 1223. This is one of the most beautiful and elegant freezers among those with a height of no more than 85 cm. It has a silver body and a comfortable handle. The internal volume is 98 liters, which will definitely be enough for one person. The freezing power turned out to be quite decent — it reaches 11 kg / day. This means that you can completely fill the chamber from scratch at once — the products will be frozen as quickly as possible. The long-term preservation of cold when the power is turned off is also pleasing — only after a day or so will the temperature inside rise to an unacceptable limit.

The high cost of this model is due not only to the attractive design. This is one of the few freezers that can work in unheated rooms. The ambient temperature can drop to -15°C, nothing will happen to the device from this. This allows you to place it, for example, on a balcony or in a basement. This model also has other features, briefly described by Elena in her review on Yandex.Market: “The freezer fits perfectly into the existing interior. Noiseless, comfortable height. We moved the door, we are completely satisfied with the purchase.” Indeed, the device makes itself felt only at the first start, and on the second day of operation it becomes almost completely silent. It remains to be added that the freezer is also good in terms of energy consumption — it consumes no more than 190 kWh per year.

Liebherr GN 1066

Rating: 4.9

This compact refrigerator has a fairly high cost. But it is justified, since the device has received a number of modern technologies. For example, this is a rare model with a height of 85 cm, which supports the No Frost system. This means that inside it there was a place for fans who seek to remove frost as quickly as possible so that it does not turn into ice. As a result, you can count on the fact that the Liebherr GN 1066 will not require defrosting during its entire operation!

Despite the presence of fans, this model boasts low power consumption. This is evidenced by the corresponding class A+. If you need it, the device will offer the superfreeze function. When activated, energy consumption increases, but the freezing power will reach an incredible 14 kg / day! You can place a bucket of fresh berries inside — the sweetness will be frozen almost instantly!

Other pleasant features of the Liebherr GN 1066 include long-term cold retention during a power outage. Especially if you use the cold accumulator supplied in the kit. The maximum freezer can maintain a low temperature without power for 30 hours. This is an excellent result, unattainable for most other freezers in existence today!

Other characteristics are unlikely to surprise you. The temperature indication in a device with such a price tag seems to be a common thing. Yes, and 91-liter volume is quite normal. There are also glass shelves that can withstand almost any weight. And the noise level, even when the fans are activated, does not exceed 42 dB. The possibility of hanging the door is not forgotten here either.

Finally, let’s highlight Vladislav’s review, left by him on Yandex.Market: “I liked the electronic control with adjustment from -14 to -28 degrees. A backlit display is used, which turns off when the required temperature is reached and turns on when the door is opened. By the way, there is protection from children, so a child who loves to press all kinds of buttons will definitely not be able to affect the operation of the freezer.

Haier HF-82WAA

Rating: 4.8

This 84cm freezer offers the user three transparent drawers. Their total volume is 82 liters. This is enough even for a family of two, not to mention a single student. But we must admit that this is far from the cheapest freezer, so not everyone can afford it. But on the other hand, it does not require special care for itself — it is likely that you will never defrost it.

The device belongs to the energy efficiency class A+. To be more precise, it consumes approximately 175 kWh per year. In most regions of Russia, this means that a year of using a freezer will cost about 800 rubles.

There is a small display on the control panel of the device. With it, you can find out exactly what temperature is currently observed inside the freezer. After the first turn on, it quickly gets to -18 ° C, which in its reviewHaier HF-82WAA a certain resident of Naro-Fominsk writes on Otzovik. It will not be possible to accidentally change the operating mode, since the buttons are blocked after only three seconds. This is good news for parents with children. And the absence of noise cannot but rejoice. Measurements in the immediate vicinity of the freezer show no more than 36 dB. The noise level can only increase if you throw a large number of products at once. It is permissible to do this, since the freezing power here reaches 9 kg / day.

Midea MCF-3084W

Rating: 4.7

This model is more correctly called a chest freezer. This is due to the fact that an upward opening cover is used here. This has a definite advantage, described in the review of one of the customers of the DNS: “I was looking for a freezer that is small, but roomy. The choice was stopped on the chest. Due to the lack of shelves with small dimensions, the usable volume is very large. The review also mentions quiet operation. Indeed, measurements in the immediate vicinity of the device reach 40 dB, and even then — only in rare moments.

The internal volume of this freezer is 99 liters. This is a record for a model whose height does not exceed 85 cm. Also, the buyer should be pleased with the warranty period, extended to two years. Not all products of even a German manufacturer can boast of this!

As expected, electronic control is used here. A small display is able to display the temperature to which the air in the chamber is cooled. The device will not be able to warn of its increase by sound. But this is not necessary, because leaving the chest freezer lid open is almost impossible.

This model belongs to the A+ energy efficiency class. It is practically impossible to greatly exceed the planned 168 kWh per year. Even if you regularly use the superfreeze mode. The fact is that the freezing capacity here is only 4.5 kg / day. If you do not plan to bring a bunch of berries from the dacha, then this parameter should suit you. Admittedly, this is not the best option for storing berries — you can accidentally crush them with other products.

The Best No Frost Freezers

Liebherr GN 3023

Rating: 4.9

This freezer has a familiar metal body, painted white. The door here is complemented by a convenient handle, and eight compartments are hidden inside. The useful volume of the freezer reaches 257 liters. This is enough for a huge amount of meat, fish, berries and other products. We also note the fact that the shelves are made of tempered glass — they will retain their perfect appearance for many years.

The height of the Liebherr GN 3023 is 184 cm. It is powered by an energy-efficient compressor that is practically silent — the corresponding measurements show only 41 dB. For a year, the device consumes approximately 312 kWh. With such dimensions and capacity, this figure corresponds to the class A +. The presence of the No Frost system is also pleasing, thanks to which you will not need to think about regular defrosting.

The door of this freezer opens incredibly easily, despite the pressure difference between the outside and inside. This is due to the presence of a pusher here. If the temperature inside has risen, the device will start emitting a sound signal, as well as blinking its lighting. In the event of a power outage, you can count on the fact that the low temperature inside will remain for at least 20 hours.

Almost any freezer created by the German company Liebherr has electronic control and temperature indication. This model is no exception to the rule. However, you can still find fault with the implementation of the latter — not specific numbers are indicated here, but pictograms in the form of squares. And the device is also able to boast a very high freezing power, reaching 20 kg / day.

Samsung RZ-32 M7110SA

Rating: 4.8

Would you like to make the freezer a decoration of your kitchen? In this case, we recommend buying Samsung RZ-32 M7110SA. The case of this model has a silver color, and the handle has an elegant shape. At the top of the door there was a place for a fairly large display, thanks to which the freezer is controlled. In particular, it can be used to activate super-freezing when you have placed a huge number of products inside at a time. The display also shows the exact temperature inside the chamber.

The device received a pusher, thanks to which the door opens without any problems. If it is left open for a long time, the freezer starts beeping. With the door closed, this model is ready to survive even a long blackout — the cold will remain for at least 12 hours.

Freezer Samsung RZ-32 M7110SA supports No Frost technology. Therefore, you can not be afraid of the appearance of frost or, especially, ice inside. At the same time, the fans operate very quietly, the noise level does not reach 41 dB. However, a different result was not expected, because an inverter motor is used here. By the way, it is energy efficient.

The useful volume of a 185-cm device is 315 liters. In total, 7 drawers and shelves are hidden behind the door. Interestingly, this is one of the few freezers in which there are shelves even on the door, as is implemented in the refrigerators we are used to. Another undoubted advantage of this model is the freezing power, reaching 21 kg / day. If we talk about the shortcomings, then the most important of them was described by Maxim Vasiliev, who left the following review on Yandex.Market: “The backlight is located only in the upper part of the freezer. In the darkness below the middle, it is difficult to see anything. But let’s face it, people rarely use the freezer without turning on the lights in the kitchen.

Beko RFNK 290E23 W

Rating: 4.7

This is a relatively small freezer, the height of which does not exceed 171 cm. At the same time, its usable volume reaches a very impressive 290 liters. Behind her door are three glass shelves and four plastic drawers. I am glad that the door opens without any effort, for which the pusher available here should be thanked.

This model corresponds to the A+ energy efficiency class. To be more precise, the device consumes 310 kWh per year. Or a little more if you regularly activate the superfreeze mode. Freezing capacity reaches 16 kg/day. This parameter will suit even a gardener who harvests a large number of berries every summer.

If the temperature inside the freezer has risen to an unacceptable value, a warning light will sound. By the way, there is a display on the door of the device that allows you to find out the current temperature, as well as change it if necessary. If there is a power outage, the cold inside is kept for 18 hours.

Now many freezers are able to please with the support of No Frost technology. Beko RFNK 290E23 W does not require defrosting either. This freezer has a relatively low price tag, which is why one would expect cheap components here. But no, the manufacturer has become generous with almost silent fans and a solid compressor. As a result, the corresponding measurements show no more than 40 dB. This figure allows you to place a freezer even in a studio apartment.

Finally, we note the review of Elena, who bought this model in the Sidex online store: “The appearance is super, much nicer than other products from this company.” Indeed, Beko products usually do not please with design, while here such problems are not observed.

Liebherr GN 2323

Rating: 4.7

The creators of this freezer tried to achieve two goals. First, they wanted to provide the customer with a relatively low freezer. They succeeded, the height of the device does not exceed 144.7 cm. Secondly, the Germans planned a decent volume. As a result, it amounted to 226 liters — you must admit, a very good figure.

Products are stored here in six transparent boxes. You can load a huge amount of berries, meat and fish at a time. The maximum freezing capacity reaches 16 kg/day. It’s nice that at the same time the device turned out to be economical, because for the year it consumes electricity in relatively small volumes. This is also evidenced by the A + energy class received by the freezer from specialized experts.

Liebherr GN 2323 is easy to use, including due to the presence of a pusher handle. This model does not require regular manual defrosting, as evidenced by No Frost support. You can never disconnect the device from electricity. And if this happens through no fault of yours, the freezer is ready to keep the inside cold for about 14 hours.

Like many other models of this manufacturer, it has a temperature rise alarm or a door open for a long time — this is done by flashing lights and sound signals. The good news is that the user can easily find out exactly what temperature is currently observed inside the freezer.

Of the shortcomings, only high cost can be distinguished. But products under the Liebherr brand have never pleased with an affordable price tag.

Indesit DFZ 4150.1 S

Rating: 4.6

This silver freezer is a perfect addition to any kitchen. It is curious that it does not have anything superfluous — on its door there was a place only for the manufacturer’s logo and a relatively small handle. The height of the appliance itself is 150 cm. With this parameter, one should not expect a record capacity from the freezer. The manufacturer declared a 204-liter volume, and this figure is close to the truth.

This model does not require regular defrosting, as evidenced by the mention in the technical data sheet of the No Frost system. At the same time, the temperature inside the Indesit DFZ 4150.1 S can be lowered to -24°C. A couple of decades ago, it was even impossible to imagine that this could avoid the appearance of ice!

The freezing capacity here does not exceed 10 kg/day. Some may not be satisfied with this figure. But you will be pleased with the placement of products. The fact is that the upper shelves here are open — you can get meat or ice cream from them without any difficulty. Drawers are located at the bottom of the freezer. If the electricity is cut off, the low temperature inside this chamber will remain for about 15 hours.

Of course, the door of this freezer can be outweighed. This can be said about almost all freezers included in our rating, unless otherwise indicated. As for the noise level, it reaches 44 dB. Not the lowest setting, but it does not make this model loud.

The main disadvantage of the Indesit DFZ 4150.1 S is its high power consumption. For the year, the freezer is ready to use 399 kWh. This corresponds to energy class B. But do not forget that electricity consumption can be reduced by raising the temperature inside to the standard -18°C. Another serious minus was noted by a Yandex.Market visitor who left the following review: “When opening, you need to hold the freezer body. It rolls on the floor as the door is difficult to open. This is due to the manufacturer’s savings, which in this case did not become generous with a handle with a pusher. The problem, however, is easily solved by placing silicone coasters or some other non-slip material under the freezer.

Gorenje FN 6191CX

Rating: 4.5

Usually Gorenje products are quite inexpensive. But there are also exceptions to the rule. For example, about 35 thousand rubles are asked for this freezer. If you look at the technical specifications, the price begins to seem adequate. The fact is that this is one of the most capacious models. With a height of 185 cm, it has a usable volume of 243 liters. The dimensions of the Gorenje FN 6191 CX correspond to the dimensions of an average refrigerator, so they will look perfect paired with each other. Especially if the refrigerator has a silver body color.

The freezer has a number of undeniable advantages. For example, Anna said on Otzovik: “It does not dry food, like many other freezers. Ice does not form. Very handy drawers with handles on the sides. It was difficult for the buyer to remember the shortcomings. She managed to find fault only with the plastic from which the boxes are made — it turned out to be quite fragile, which is why you have to use the freezer carefully.

The device really does an excellent job with its main task, including due to the No Frost system implemented here. The freezer is not afraid of the abundance of products that you can load at one time — it has a super freeze mode. When this function is activated, the freezing capacity temporarily increases to an impressive 18 kg/day. And someone else will appreciate the ability to keep the cold inside during a power outage for 15 hours.

For a year, the device consumes 302 kWh. A great number. However, let’s remember the size and capacity of the freezer. So it turns out that this model has the right to comply with the A + energy class. By the way, the temperature inside it can be lowered to -24 ° C, which does not allow every freezer to do.

ATLANT M 7606-100N

Rating: 4.5

This is a familiar external freezer, the body of which is painted white. The difference from competitors lies only in a serious height, reaching 186.8 cm. As a result, the useful volume of the freezer was an impressive 245 liters. The approximate current temperature is indicated here on the control panel, supplemented by the corresponding light indicators. Here the user can activate the superfreeze mode. This function temporarily increases the freezing capacity to 13 kg/day.

The Minsk Refrigerator Plant is constantly being improved. Therefore, it is not surprising that the ATLANT M 7606-100 N freezer received support for No Frost technology. The device can be connected to the power supply throughout the entire period of operation, frost will not appear inside it. Belarusians can also be praised for using a high-quality compressor. The emitted noise level does not rise to a value higher than 43 dB.

Of course, not everyone will need such a roomy freezer. By the way, he will be in the apartments of people living with two or even more dogs. For example, the one who wrote detailed review of ATLANT M 7606-100 N on iRecommend. She stores chicken backbones, ox roots, pork legs and other offal in the freezer. Ordinary people will store berries, mushrooms, fish and even potatoes in the freezer.

The device corresponds to class A+. As expected, it allows you to outweigh his door without any problems. There are seven transparent boxes for food storage. There is also a small compartment at the top of the door. The warranty period for this freezer is three years.

Biryusa 646SN

Rating: 4.4

This freezer turned out to be relatively low. With a height of 145 cm, you can even find a place for it under some cabinet hanging on the wall. Of course, you should not count on a record capacity. The total volume of the freezer is 230 liters, and the useful one is even less. But for a family of three or four people, this will be enough, even if she is used to buying food for many months in advance.

This model is designed to reach -18°C. Unfortunately, it won’t work any harder. If, for some reason, it began to rise, the device notifies the person by blinking the backlight.

A very large amount of food can be loaded into this freezer at a time. This is evidenced by the presence of an appropriate mode, upon activation of which the freezing power increases to 12 kg / day. As for extreme situations, when electricity is lost in the house, the freezer is ready to keep a low temperature for 14 hours. And it is impossible not to note the presence of support for the No Frost system. This means that regular defrosting of this model is definitely not needed.

Some domestic freezers upset with their noisy behavior in the kitchen. Fortunately, Biryusa 646SN is an exception to the rule. How did the Russian manufacturer achieve this? The explanation is in Igor’s review, left on Yandex.Market a few months after the purchase: “Modern design, rounded shapes, high-quality plastic boxes inside. The compressor of the well-known Chinese company Jaxipera — these are even on modern Boschs.

Why does this freezer not open our rating? There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the device complies with energy class B, consuming 354 kWh per year. Secondly, there is not a very high quality control at the ATLANT plant. Because of this, reviews of dissatisfied customers who have had a breakdown regularly pop up on the network. Fortunately, fixing such a freezer is quite simple, there are no unusual parts here. Saves and a three-year warranty period.

The best freezers with a manual defrost system

Liebherr GP 2733

Rating: 4.9

The products of the German company Liebherr are expensive. The GP 2733 freezer is no exception to the rule. Even though there is no support for No Frost technology here. But the manufacturer asks for big money for a reason. This freezer is a rare bird with an A++ energy rating. For a year, it consumes approximately 188 kWh. And this is with a height of 164 cm and a usable volume of 224 liters!

This model differs from many competitors in the ability to reduce the temperature to -24°C. With this parameter, you can expect that the products will be stored longer than the allotted time — up to one year or even a year and a half! It should also be noted that the freezing capacity here reaches an incredible 22 kg / day. The tight fit of the door should also please. The Germans managed to achieve such an effect that when the electricity is turned off, the cold inside will remain for about 28 hours.

Liebherr GP 2733 has some incredible numbers. Buyers have no complaints about the design of the device. The shelves here are made of tempered glass, ready to withstand any load. The control panel can be locked, which is especially useful in families with children. The temperature display allows you to make precise settings. Well, the handle with a pusher makes opening the freezer as easy as possible. Recall that with such a significant difference in temperature outside and inside the appliance, the door seems to stick to the rest of the freezer, and the pusher solves this problem.

Aleksey, who left a review on Yandex.Market, spoke even better about this model: “A good freezer, there is enough space for everything. It works very quietly, there are no extraneous noises, as in nofrost. For a year and a half, they thawed it once.

ATLANT M 7204-100

Rating: 4.8

The height of this freezer is 176.5 cm. Therefore, this model can even be brought into the kitchen of an apartment located in an old house, where there is a very narrow corridor along the way. At the same time, the freezer turned out to be very roomy. Behind her door are 7 shelves. One of them is the largest — even a huge turkey will fit here. All others are the same size.

This model does not imply any abstruse management. Here it is made in electromechanical form. However, this fact can be added to the list of disadvantages, because the device will not provide you with a temperature indication. But he had an excellent compressor at his disposal. With it, the freezing capacity reaches 24 kg / day. You can safely place a couple of buckets of berries inside — they will be frozen as quickly as possible. By the way, the temperature in the freezer can be lowered to -18 ° C. Alas, it is impossible to achieve a lower value, but many of our readers do not need this.

In the vastness of the global web, you can find a huge number of reviews left by buyers of the ATLANT M 7204-100. It indicates a high demand for this model. A typical review looks like this: “There are really more places than in No Frost. And it is necessary to unload and wash both that and that once a year. We tend to disagree with Vladimir — if the freezer with No Frost is used carefully, then it is unlikely that it will require any care for its insides. As for ATLANT M 7204-100, it really needs to be defrosted once a year, thereby getting rid of frost.

NORDFROST DF 168 WAP

Rating: 4.7

This 170 cm freezer has a familiar design. It uses a metal case painted white. Many buyers take this model precisely because it does not stand out in the kitchen or in the corridor, does not attract attention. And they are not even embarrassed by the fact that every six months or a year the device must be disconnected from electricity, relieving its insides of accumulated ice.

Like many other freezers without No Frost, this one involves the simplest control by turning the appropriate knob. In fact, you will quickly forget about it, since it is enough to achieve a temperature of -18 ° C inside the freezer. I am glad that this model corresponds to the A + energy class. This is very unusual for a device with such a simple design. And the compressor used here turned out to be not particularly noisy. Most copies produce about 40 dB. Not ideal for a studio apartment, but in a separate kitchen, the device will definitely not bother you in any way.

If you read reviews on NORDFROST DF 168 WAP, then only positive impressions remain. People like the two-year warranty period. They appreciated the three drawers made of transparent plastic and four spacious shelves. The total volume of the freezer, by the way, is 256 liters! Not bad for a device whose height does not exceed 170 cm.

Indesit DSZ 4150.1

Rating: 4.7

Against the background of some other freezers, this one seems like a crumb. Its height is exactly 1.5 meters. It is not surprising that Mikhail left the following review in the Citilink online store: “I was attracted primarily by its dimensions and price. One of the best options was, given the normal manufacturer. He turned his attention to the handle. Despite the fact that it is rendered, it is made soundly. Indeed, this structural element turned out to be very reliable — it is unlikely that it will break in the future.

The total volume of this freezer is 214 liters. A decent figure that will suit almost any family consisting of three or four people. I am glad that the cold inside remains even during a power outage — the problems will begin only after 17 hours. As for the compressor used here, it turned out to be very quiet. But it is not capable of providing high freezing power — you can count on a maximum of 10 kg / day.

It uses a simple electromechanical control. You can be sure that you will set the operating mode immediately after buying a freezer, after which you will forget about the corresponding regulator.

This model belongs to the energy class A. Perhaps, this fact can be called the main drawback of the Indesit DSZ 4150.1. For a year, the device consumes 376 kWh. However, we will not scare you — in terms of money, the difference is one or two hundred rubles a year. Another disadvantage is the need for manual defrosting. However, it occurs no more than once every six months. Therefore, it is quite possible to put up with her. Some more buyers complain about the lack of backlight. And this is also such a shortcoming, which you quickly forget about. Have you often taken frozen berries or, moreover, meat products without turning on the light in the room?

This freezer cannot be called silent. Therefore, we do not recommend putting it in a studio apartment. If you have a separate kitchen, then the device will definitely not annoy you.

Biryusa 114

Rating: 4.6

In your kitchen, only a small piece of space is dedicated to installing a freezer? In this case, you can think about buying Biryusa 114. The width of this model is only 48 cm. The height is also small, 122.5 cm. And only the depth is equal to the usual 60 cm. The design is also nothing unusual — the metal body of the freezer is painted white. Management is carried out by turning the regulator located at the top of the device. Here are the LEDs. One of them signals the running of the «Super Freeze» mode — a rare guest in freezers that lack No Frost support. When this function is activated, the freezing capacity is increased to 12 kg/day. Great result for such a small freezer!

This model complies with energy class A. But do not be alarmed by the lack of a plus in this designation. For a year, the freezer consumes approximately 222 kWh, and in monetary terms — this is less than a thousand rubles. Nothing bad can be said about the autonomous preservation of cold, when the device is left without being connected to the mains — the low temperature is maintained for 12 hours.

The total volume of this freezer is 130 liters. The real one is a little less, because part of the volume is taken away by the plastic from which the boxes are made, as well as the metal shelves on which they stand. It’s nice that this model is almost silent. The warranty period of three years should also please the buyer. And if something happens to the device in the future, spare parts for it can be found without much difficulty.

The best built-in freezers

Some might call this freezer tiny. It is not surprising, because its height is only 122.5 cm. The width and depth are also slightly reduced so that the device can be built in without any problems. It should be recognized that because of this, the total volume was only 150 liters. If you like to buy meat and fish a year in advance, then the capacity of this model will definitely not suit you. Especially if your refrigerator does not have a built-in freezer.

This is one of the most expensive freezers among those with small sizes. In this regard, it is not surprising that she turned out to be very beautiful. Behind her door are five drawers made of the best plastic and with a metal edging. Their promotion is carried out without any problems. At the top of the device is an electronic control panel, which at the same time will tell you what air temperature is currently observed inside. And you will never see a single extra piece of ice in the freezer! Thanks to the No Frost system implemented here.

The freezer uses an expensive compressor, made according to the most modern technologies. It does not make unnecessary noise — the existence of the device can be remembered only if you listen hard. Also, the compressor does not waste electricity, as evidenced by the corresponding class A ++. At the same time, he is ready to satisfy the needs of even those people who want to load a huge amount of food into the freezer at a time. The maximum freezing power can reach 20 kg / day — for this it is enough to activate the «Super Freeze» mode. With such dimensions of the freezer, the figure seems somehow incredible.

If you try to look for flaws, then you can easily break your head. These include a warranty period, for an inexplicable reason, which is only one year. And Anna, who left a review on Yandex.Market, described another problem: “The boxes are rattling, there are no skids. Fall out when fully opened. There is no door closer.» Indeed, there are still some shortcomings. It’s amazing to see them in such an expensive freezer.

Liebherr SUIG 1514

Rating: 4.8

This must be the most compact representative of our selection. This freezer is comparable in size to a bedside table. Its height does not exceed 82 cm! At the same time, it cannot be said that there is no place for food inside it, because the usable volume is 95 liters. But it must be admitted that the device is far from the records. Even freezers built into refrigerators are a little more spacious.

Like other Liebherr products, this model boasts many modern technologies. For example, an almost perfect compressor is used here, providing a freezing capacity of up to 12 kg/day. Also, the freezer received a bright backlight, which is never superfluous. There is also a temperature display. It allows you to make sure that the device is working properly.

Perhaps most pleased with the high energy efficiency of the freezer. For a year, it consumes no more than 134 kWh. As a result, the experts awarded the device an A++ energy class.

Other technical characteristics of the Liebherr SUIG 1514 also cannot but rejoice. For example, a freezer is not afraid of a power outage. In this case, it will keep inside the cold throughout the day!

This model is not in great demand because of its cost. But those few buyers who dared to spend their money write only positive reviews. For example, Ksyusha wrote the following in the official Liebherr online store: “It was perfect for my purposes. I don’t make a lot of stocks, so everything is fine in terms of capacity, and also in terms of work.” By the way, hardly anyone can complain, for example, about the noise level. The fact is that measurements in the immediate vicinity of the compressor show no more than 36 dB.
