Top 15 refrigerators
No matter how eventful and unpredictable, 2018 was, but some things always remain the same. For example, the huge demand for large kitchen appliances and, in particular, good, high-quality and reliable refrigerators, without which the life of a modern person is simply unthinkable. They are bought for a new home or kitchen, to the country, as a supplement to existing ones, in return for outdated or broken models. In the last "tragic" case, when the decision to buy has to be taken urgently, however, as well as with plenty of time to think, from the abundance of options provided by domestic retailers, the head can go all around - which refrigerator is better to buy, on which instance?
No matter how trite, you have to choose the best. That's just, as they say, to each his own and that one is good, the other, if not death, but quite probable disorder and sadness. As a simple way out of this situation, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our rating of the best refrigerators as of the end of 2018 - the beginning of 2019 with the division into several relevant categories.
By what principles was the rating of the best refrigerators formed?
All those who have ever encountered the problem of choosing a product, most often looking for answers in the most accessible and completely rational way - study reviews on various resources in order to use someone else's experience and avoid unnecessary mistakes. The method is working, but not 100%. After all, on the Internet, some companies have launched a real information war and not everyone should be blindly trusted.
We may not have such “long hands” as the mafia, but we managed to use several reliable sources. The experts, who left feedback and shared their opinions, were made by representatives of trade organizations keeping sales and reclamation statistics, conducting customer surveys in order to form a commodity matrix with minimal losses from returns, service specialists for whom some typical flaws of certain models or manufacturers are not secret Overall, the real owners of popular refrigerators and even a couple of regional representatives of leading brands. By the way, customer reviews about refrigerators have also been studied.

Popular beige refrigerator from the Korean brand with an inverter linear compressor. Hence the high energy efficiency of class A ++ and the low declared noise level up to 39 dB. Nevertheless, the price is not at all shocking and fully corresponds to the Russian assembly. Although it may be the case in the absence of various "unnecessary", which the manufacturer calls the premium design (lights pens or strange drawings on the doors). The cooling system is Total No Frost, which means there is no need to defrost both chambers. For the refrigeration compartment is characterized by a uniform multi-threaded air distribution Multi Air-Flow. There is also a retractable vegetable compartment with a cellular Moist Balance Crisper lid to optimize moisture. Only you need to understand that it is possible to call this a zone of freshness only with a very big stretch. The internal space in the freezer is quite well organized: 4 transparent drawers, of which 1 is small for semi-finished products. Main advantages:

A good 1.9 m tall refrigerator with a good engine. And the price is not predatory, and the last time either the manufacturer, or the shops are greedy. Not noiseless, as advertised, but not loud. Why Wi-Fi is not clear, but a foldable shelf is needed. |

Excellent offer from the Korean brand for those who want to get a good efficient and reliable refrigerator at a reasonable price. The model is available for a wide range of consumers and surprisingly combines manufacturability and ease of operation, compact dimensions and decent capacity. With functionality, too, order. Like all "Koreans", the Samsung RB-30 J3000WW uses No Frost technology, thanks to which you can forget about manual defrosting forever, and products retain their useful properties and appearance much better. The heart of the refrigerator is a highly efficient inverter compressor, providing uniform and fast cooling, quiet (40 dBa), economical operation. With a height of 178 and a classic case width of 60 (59.5) cm, the usable volume is not much 311 liters, of which 98 are in the freezer and 213 in the refrigeration (very good). The model has an analogue of silver color, although a bit more expensive. Production - Poland. Main advantages:

It is unlikely that the famous German brand needs a special presentation, but its popular, inexpensive model deserves detailed consideration and will certainly appeal to people who are not alien to the sense of style. The design in AvocadoGreen color is impressive (alternative options are FireRED, WaterBlue). In addition, the Liebherr CUag 3311 refrigerator may be the best solution to a problem of a non-standard niche. The usual width of the refrigerator 60 cm for small rooms is not always optimal, but it happens, and often, that the "valiant" furniture makers were mistaken for several centimeters when installing a new kitchen unit and the "classic" simply does not fit. Here is the solution: the dimensions of the CUag 3311 (HxWxD) in cm - 181.2x55x62.9. With regard to performance, with a useful volume, everything is not bad - 210/84 l (cold / mor.), The interior lighting is bright and economical LED, the storage time during a power outage is up to 27 hours. The defrosting of the refrigeration compartment is automatic (drip), the freezer is manual. Main advantages:

The refrigerator is a real handsome man, there is nothing like other firms. It works almost silently. It seems like you need to defrost, but for several months there is no visible need. The shelves are comfortable and beautiful, for bulk products you can remove the extra. |

Our rating of the best refrigerators in the low-cost category continues the excellent domestic refrigerator from the legendary “Sergo Plant” from Tatarstan, now part of the Rostec concern. Interestingly, the manufacturer usually puts on its devices the compressors of the best brands, which clearly contributes to quiet operation, efficiency and high reliability. Although it makes sense to check in case of purchase. Design Pozis RK-149, maybe not the most elegant, but quite decent. Moreover, the company offers as many as 7 color options. The freezer compartment is downstairs. Defrost necessary. The refrigerating case works in the automatic mode on "drop" technology. Glass shelves withstanding loads up to 40 kg. Refrigerator height - 196 cm. Circulation system - single-circuit. The direction of opening the doors, if desired, can be changed. Conclusion - a great option for a quality refrigerator for relatively modest money. Main advantages:

This model somehow does not turn the language called budget. A more deserved definition - a classic in a pleasant modern design for relatively little money. Atlant XM 4024-000 is not a "no frost fridge for the lazy" system, but contrary to popular belief, this is not a particular problem. Indeed, compared with the notorious “automata” of the same dimensions, it has a number of obvious advantages:
Of course, it is necessary to defrost the freezer compartment, but once in 3-4 months or even less. But many housewives wash the refrigerator more often, disconnecting it from the network, regardless of design. Main advantages:

Real German fridge in great performance. The design is stylish and solid, the color is silver with a protective coating of SmartSteel. The fact that the touch control display is not located outside, but hidden under the door, does not spoil the impression, but only makes the “picture” more solid and concise.Convenient aluminum pusher handles provide effortless opening. The freezer chamber is rather big - 101 l, is located below, the principle of action is No Frost. Inside 2 glass shelves and 3 containers. The space can be modeled under the dimensional products (VarioSpace). The cooling compartment is 275 liters, of which 94 are reserved for BioFresh fresh areas: “wet” for vegetables / fruits, “dry” for meat / fish. Defrosting automatic "drip" type. Uniform temperature distribution is provided by a circulation fan. Main advantages:

Beautiful and technologically advanced SpaceMax refrigerator from one of the Korean giants. Not to say that it is really affordable, but if viewed from the position of an optimal balance between performance, functionality and quality, the price tag does not seem to be overly ambitious. Spaciousness for a model with the Total No Frost system is pretty decent - 367 l. Freezer in a volume of 98 liters, the location - the bottom, equipment - 3 transparent boxes. Does not need manual maintenance (unless only to wash). Fast freeze mode available. Refrigerated large cabinet - 269 liters. From the usual inside: LED-lights, a box for fruits and vegetables. More advanced items: a retractable Fresh Zone container for meat and fish, a collapsible glass shelf, a metal wine plate, Metal Cooling plate on the back wall that serves to keep the cold even with frequent door opening (and looks good in a decorative plan).

A good two-chamber refrigerator with a lower location of the freezer, made in an easily recognizable design for the Korean brand, and even with a hint of premium. Although it is a matter of taste. In any case, the color of the metal looks pretty organic. Much more important is the "internal content". The model is equipped with a highly efficient linear inverter compressor, among the main advantages of which is maximum efficiency and low noise level. Total No Frost, spacious freezer and refrigeration compartments (105 and 226 l), 2 FreshConverter fresh zones with adjustable temperatures of -2 ° C / 0 ° C / + 3 ° C, Fresh Balancer with variable humidity and Most Balance Crisper cover - the right attributes for a high-end refrigerator. The external LED display is responsible for the settings. Available temperature adjustment, express freeze, lock. There is a system of intellectual self-diagnosis. Main advantages:

The product of the German "engineering thought" in the Russian version. The refrigerator is good for everyone, the price tag would be more democratic, since the equipment is obviously cheaper than the one with which the German company pleases consumers from the European Union. Oh, those double standards! Oh good. The quality of materials and assembly in general at a very decent level. Plastic and casting - great. Solid design, door trim - "stainless" with EasyClean coating. Circulation circuits - 2, for management is responsible external electronic display. The refrigeration compartment is impressive - 279 liters. Cooling system - automatic multi-flow Multi-Airflow. The lower container is a VitaFresh freshness zone with a customizable moisture level for better preservation of fruits and vegetables. Freezer - No Frost, maintenance is not required. Inside 3 transparent boxes with a total volume of 87 l. Main advantages:

Against the background of the Korean giants, the company Daewoo somehow remained in the shadow and even forgotten for a while, but in vain. Its NEO-V two-chamber refrigerator is quite capable of competing with expensive “glass” models from LG or Bosch of Russian origin, both in terms of external data and in functionality. And especially for the price. More and assembly "native" South Korean. The luxurious design of black mirrored doors (stainless steel and white under glass are also available in color options), the zero clearance when opening them, the electronic control that is carried out outside is perceived very positively. And there are also such nice bonuses as Perfect No Frost technology, eliminating the need for defrosting, Multi Air Flow for uniform and rapid cooling, anti-bacterial Neutra fresh air cleaning and deodorization system, special box with optimum humidity for vegetables and fruits and special LED lighting for a longer preservation of freshness.

Big nice fridge from one of the most famous Japanese brands. The model of beige color with energy class A ++ is equipped with a high-performance compressor JTECH INVERTER with 36 levels of work intensity. The noise level is declared only 27 dB, but you need to understand that this parameter is for the motor itself, and not for the device as a whole. Freezer compartment - No Frost. Located on top, the volume is serious - 148 liters. The refrigerator is incredibly solid - 430 l. For a large family just right.The cooling system is a hybrid one, which allows to evenly distribute the temperature throughout the entire interior space and at the same time maintain the humidity that is optimal for maintaining freshness, and avoid the effect of airing. The PlasmaCluster air purification system at the expense of producing negatively and positively charged ions inhibits the growth and development of bacteria, mold spores, which contributes to a longer preservation of products.

The most convenient format for our family refrigerator. In the kitchen aperture, it is true, was almost very tight. Exterior performance at a high level, the capacity is excellent, not much noise. |
Large fridge with classic top freezer. This format has been experiencing something like a “second birth” lately and is becoming increasingly popular again. And since such a configuration is mainly inherent in the products of Japanese brands, it is not surprising that one of the best is a model from Mitsubishi Electric. And let the MR-FR51H-SB-R be produced not in the Land of the Rising Sun, but in Thailand, but the price tag is not exorbitant. Design - black metallic, full usable volume - 405 l (101/304). Freezer No Frost with partition and swivel ice tray. In the refrigerator there are 4 glass shelves, 2 of which are height adjustable. There is a freshness zone for fruits and vegetables. The cooling system is uniform - Multi Air-Flow. With a height of 180.2 and a width of 68.6 cm, the depth of the refrigerator is 70.9 cm. And this should be taken into account when planning, because it can simply protrude from the standard niche. Not the fact that this is a problem, but better if it goes without surprises.

This refrigerator from the well-known brand from Denmark of the Glass Door series not only has a stylish premium design, but also, without a doubt, will please its future owners with excellent characteristics and absolute reliability. Made in Turkey, and if this fact confuses someone, it is in vain - the build quality at a very high level. The freezer is located below and contains 2 large drawers. No frost is required. Since the refrigerator is typically European, the volume of the chamber is medium - 104 liters, and the lion's share of the useful space is allocated for the refrigerating compartment (351 l). In the latter, a multi-flow cooling system Multiflow Cooling is implemented, there is an anti-bacterial coating, a carbon filter, and an LED backlight. In the lower part there are zero Fresh Zone on the telescopic rails and 2 vegetable boxes. Control - electronic with an external display.

Further in the ranking is an incredibly stylish, functional and convenient refrigerator. Dear, but this is a real premium class, and even "native" Japanese production. The style of the facade is brown glass, there are also analogues of white and black. In terms of dimensions, the model is large, but not bulky (HxWxD) - 182x75x74 cm. The total volume is decent - 657 l, useful - 473. However, the format “5 cameras, 6 doors” is designed not so much for those who like to trite the lockers “in reserve”, as on true gourmets. The largest capacity (298 liters) has a refrigerator with hinged doors French Door. Internal content: wide shelves, door pockets, height adjustable, point cooling compartment. Below is a high-tech vacuum compartment (40 l) for fish, meat, dairy products. Next, a freezer (106 l) with several levels. Finally, the unique Vege Aero-care camera with a platinum catalyst that perfectly preserves the freshness of fruits and vegetables. And there is also a section with an automatic ice generator.

Multi-compartment refrigerators - the classic "trick" of the leading Japanese brands. And may some companies from other Asian regions imitate them, habitually pretending that they have invented everything themselves, the original equipment is still preferable. A real example is a relatively compact, but with excellent functionality model from Mitsubishi Electric. And the price tag for this manufacturer is quite democratic. The No Frost refrigerator is made in a modern and at the same time strict design. Structurally consists of three compartments:

Our ranking of the best refrigerators of 2018, of course, includes not all popular models. It does not represent the most budgetary varieties, but the goal of the review is to choose the best, and not what is cheaper. There are no super-expensive refrigerators from specialized prestigious brands that are sold quite rarely, and their functionality is not necessarily better than those listed above.
We tried to select the truly relevant options of various formats and price categories for your court, but you still have to draw final conclusions and decide on your own based on your own needs and stylistic preferences.
