It is very dif­fi­cult to imag­ine mod­ern life with­out a refrig­er­a­tor. This is per­haps the only house­hold appli­ance that has been work­ing for years with­out inter­rup­tion. Only in recent years, routers have been added to refrig­er­a­tors, but they are not yet so com­mon. The func­tions of the refrig­er­a­tor are extreme­ly impor­tant, it stores food, drinks, and often med­i­cines nec­es­sary for the nor­mal func­tion­ing of the whole fam­i­ly. And not only for the cur­rent day, but also long-term stocks in the freez­er.

Not sur­pris­ing­ly, these house­hold appli­ances occu­py a large place in the assort­ment of hun­dreds of man­u­fac­tur­ers around the world. Their tech­ni­cal capa­bil­i­ties are very diverse, we will help you under­stand the fea­tures of the best mod­els of 2022.

There are many things to con­sid­er when choos­ing a refrig­er­a­tor. The stores offer the widest range of these house­hold appli­ances and there are no obsta­cles in choos­ing a mod­el based on your own needs.

Ranking of the top 19 best refrigerators in 2022 according to KP

1. Bosch VarioStyle KGN39IJ22R

The Var­ioStyle KGN39IJ22R mod­el always quick­ly and even­ly cools food due to the mul­ti-flow dis­tri­b­u­tion of cold air. The built-in NoFrost tech­nol­o­gy elim­i­nates the for­ma­tion of frost, so you can for­get about many hours of defrost­ing the refrig­er­a­tor. For stor­ing veg­eta­bles and fruits, there are two Vita Fresh com­part­ments with the abil­i­ty to adjust the humid­i­ty lev­el in them. The ener­gy class cor­re­sponds to A +, the refrig­er­a­tor con­sumes only 369 kWh per year.

The use­ful vol­ume of the refrig­er­at­ing cham­ber is 280 liters, but the freez­er is half as much (108 liters). The noise lev­el of this mod­el is quite low (38 dB), because an invert­er com­pres­sor is installed. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that this is one of the most reli­able motors and pro­vides a 10-year war­ran­ty on it.

The refrig­er­a­tor gives an alarm when the door is not closed and is equipped with a “Vaca­tion” option: to keep the cold dur­ing the depar­ture of the own­ers (less elec­tric­i­ty is used). So, in the refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment there will be a con­stant tem­per­a­ture of + 14 °, and in the freez­er ‑18 °.

Also, the Ger­man com­pa­ny Bosch was one of the first to mar­ket mod­els with inter­change­able front pan­els, so cus­tomers have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to choose one of 20 col­ors. Your refrig­er­a­tor will be the most suit­able for the design of the kitchen, but you will have to pur­chase the base and col­or pan­el sep­a­rate­ly. Accord­ing to cus­tomer reviews, the side shelves on the device door are made of flim­sy plas­tic, as well as weak light­ing inside the device.

2.Mitsubishi Electric MR-CXR46EN-PS

The Japan­ese brand Mit­subishi pre­sent­ed to cus­tomers a mul­ti-cham­ber refrig­er­a­tor MR-CXR46EN-PS, which con­sumes 264 kWh / year. Giv­en that the aver­age fig­ures are in the range from 210 to 470 kWh, then this mod­el is eco­nom­i­cal (ener­gy effi­cien­cy class A +).

The device has a built-in adap­tive intel­li­gent Neu­ro Fuzzy tech­nol­o­gy, which selects the opti­mal set­tings in accor­dance with the user’s life algo­rithm. Thanks to this, the device sig­nif­i­cant­ly saves elec­tric­i­ty. The refrig­er­a­tor works quite qui­et­ly, the noise lev­el does not exceed 37 dB.

Man­u­fac­tur­ers took care of the safe­ty of fruits and veg­eta­bles and added a Vit­a­min Fac­to­ry com­part­ment. It is equipped with an orange phy­to-back­light that emits the light famil­iar to fruit plants. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that such illu­mi­na­tion stim­u­lates the process of pho­to­syn­the­sis and the pro­duc­tion of vit­a­min C. And due to the use of Minus lon tech­nol­o­gy, which does not allow microor­gan­isms to mul­ti­ply, the shelf life of prod­ucts increas­es.

The freez­er has a capac­i­ty of 55 liters and is equipped with an auto­mat­ic ice mak­er. There is a sound indi­ca­tor of the open door and the No Frost sys­tem, which allows you not to man­u­al­ly defrost the refrig­er­a­tor. LED light­ing of the unit, accord­ing to the man­u­fac­tur­er^one, is con­sid­ered one of the most durable, and the device is also resis­tant to tem­per­a­ture changes. Buy­ers note two sig­nif­i­cant dis­ad­van­tages: unre­li­able freez­er guides and the impos­si­bil­i­ty of hang­ing the door (one left-sided mod­i­fi­ca­tion).

3. LG GA-B419 SWJL

LG GA-B419 SWJL has a non-lin­ear com­pres­sor (with­out an elec­tric motor), but relat­ed to “smart invert­er”. This type of com­pres­sor is silent, durable and eco­nom­i­cal.². Accord­ing to the ener­gy effi­cien­cy class, the refrig­er­a­tor cor­re­sponds to A +, and the noise lev­el of the device does not exceed 39 dB.

The refrig­er­at­ing cham­ber with a vol­ume of 230 liters has a mod­ern sys­tem of uni­form cool­ing Mul­ti Air-Flow. Mul­ti­di­rec­tion­al air flows cool the prod­ucts bet­ter, there­by pre­serv­ing their fresh­ness. The back­light of the mod­el is LED, the bulbs are locat­ed on the back wall. Unlike incan­des­cent bulbs, LED bulbs do not get hot and con­sume less ener­gy.

You can place prod­ucts on 4 glass shelves in the refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment and 6 addi­tion­al ones on the door. In addi­tion, there is a com­part­ment for veg­eta­bles and fruits and 4 draw­ers in the freez­er, the total vol­ume of which is 79 liters. Thanks to the Express Freeze func­tion, the food in the freez­er freezes even­ly. The doors of the refrig­er­a­tor LG GA-B419 SWJL have two fea­tures: a lock against acci­den­tal open­ing and the abil­i­ty to out­weigh the front door. Users note that the usable vol­ume in the freez­er is less than stat­ed by the man­u­fac­tur­er.

4. Beko RCNK 270K20W

The two-cham­ber unit has a No Frost sys­tem that inde­pen­dent­ly and imper­cep­ti­bly elim­i­nates frost. The design also includes the Dual Cool­ing sys­tem, which elim­i­nates the mix­ing of aro­mas in the refrig­er­a­tor and freez­er com­part­ments and ensures opti­mal oper­a­tion of each com­part­ment.

An inter­est­ing fea­ture is the “Vaca­tion” mode. The refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment is turned off, and the freez­er con­tin­ues to work, pre­serv­ing food. Oper­at­ing modes are switched from the dig­i­tal dis­play. When the doors are opened, the light and sound alarm are switched on.

The refrig­er­a­tor con­sumes 267 kW per year and accord­ing to this para­me­ter belongs to the ener­gy class A +. The refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment has 3 height-adjustable glass shelves plus one deep draw­er for veg­eta­bles. The freez­er is locat­ed at the bot­tom, it has 3 draw­ers.

5. Gorenje NRK 6191 ES4

This refrig­er­a­tor won the love of cus­tomers with its lacon­ic design and dimen­sions of 185x60 cm, uni­ver­sal for most kitchens. The unit is equipped with a smart sys­tem that auto­mat­i­cal­ly main­tains and adjusts the tem­per­a­ture even when the refrig­er­a­tor door is opened fre­quent­ly. There is a quick freeze func­tion and an ener­gy-sav­ing mode for the hol­i­days. This mod­el con­sumes 306 kWh per year (ener­gy effi­cien­cy class A+).

Man­u­al defrost­ing is no longer required, because the refrig­er­a­tor has an auto­mat­ic one: NoFrost Plus tech­nol­o­gy is used in the freez­er com­part­ment, which does not allow frost to form. In addi­tion, there is the option of express freez­ing prod­ucts. The 3D mul­ti­flow ven­ti­la­tion sys­tem Mul­ti­Flow 360° + Ion­Air ion­iza­tion has been added to the refrig­er­a­tion com­part­ment. It is 14 vents that allow you to main­tain the same tem­per­a­ture in dif­fer­ent parts of the refrig­er­a­tor, and the ion­iz­er dis­in­fects the down­ward air flow. The device will keep cold up to 17 hours if, for exam­ple, a pow­er fail­ure occurs. The com­pres­sor works qui­et­ly, the noise lev­el does not exceed 38 dB.

The device has an elec­tron­ic con­trol pan­el on the ceil­ing sur­face of the refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment, which is very easy to set up. For prod­ucts, 4 shelves and a Crisp­Zone draw­er for fruits and veg­eta­bles are pro­vid­ed. Due to the design and smooth inner coat­ing, the refrig­er­a­tor shelves are easy to clean. There are two body col­ors to choose from: tra­di­tion­al white and metal­lic sil­ver. Accord­ing to cus­tomer reviews, the walls of the unit heat up from the out­side, and the device itself is incon­ve­nient to move around the kitchen dur­ing instal­la­tion due to the lack of wheels.

The mod­ern and spa­cious refrig­er­a­tor (247 l) Hot­point-Aris­ton HF 9201 X RO has a pow­er­ful ven­ti­la­tion sys­tem with a built-in air ozona­tor. Thanks to this, air flows are dis­trib­uted even­ly through­out the refrig­er­a­tor, and the growth and devel­op­ment of bac­te­ria is exclud­ed. The device has a “fresh­ness zone” with min­i­mum humid­i­ty and tem­per­a­ture (close to 0°) for the stor­age of per­ish­able prod­ucts. The freez­er is equipped with an anti-icing sys­tem. The noise lev­el is slight­ly high­er than that of ana­logues, but does not exceed the per­mis­si­ble 40 dB. The touch screen makes con­trol­ling the cool­ing modes extreme­ly easy.

In the event of a pow­er fail­ure, the refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment keeps cold for 13 hours. The device con­sumes 323 kWh, ener­gy effi­cien­cy class — A +. The Hol­i­day func­tion will help save ener­gy when the refrig­er­a­tor is par­tial­ly loaded and the door is rarely opened. The pack­age includes a brack­et for bot­tles (above the door) and a stand for eggs. Accord­ing to cus­tomer reviews, extra­ne­ous noise is often heard dur­ing the oper­a­tion of the device (crack­ling), and also a freez­er with­out light­ing freezes food for a long time (9 kg per day).

Leaders of the Past

1. Weissgauff WFD 486 NFX

Pre­mi­um unit with two refrig­er­a­tors and one freez­er. At the same time, the dimen­sions of the refrig­er­a­tor are small and fit per­fect­ly into any kitchen. The invert­er com­pres­sor con­sumes 323 kW per year, which cor­re­sponds to the A+ ener­gy class. The noise lev­el, how­ev­er, does not exceed 43 dB. The oper­a­tion of the refrig­er­a­tor is con­trolled by means of a touch dig­i­tal dis­play.

Two refrig­er­at­ing cham­bers with a total vol­ume of 268 liters are equipped with glass shelves with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of rearrange­ment. Plus there are sev­er­al con­tain­ers for fruits and veg­eta­bles. There is a fresh­ness zone for stor­ing defrost­ed prod­ucts.

The freez­er with a capac­i­ty of 133 liters is locat­ed at the bot­tom and has a super-freeze mode. 6 con­tain­ers with indi­vid­ual tem­per­a­ture set­ting pro­vide the best food stor­age con­di­tions. The min­i­mum pos­si­ble tem­per­a­ture in the freez­er is ‑22 °C.

Defrost­ing type Full No Frost works in all cham­bers of the refrig­er­a­tor, so that frost does not form any­where. The facade is made in the mod­ern Cross­Door style with imi­ta­tion of stain­less steel.

Pros and cons

2.Hisense RC-67WS4SAW

The orig­i­nal design with a pre­dom­i­nance of black is good for a mod­ern kitchen with orig­i­nal fur­nish­ings. The elec­tron­i­cal­ly con­trolled invert­er com­pres­sor pro­vides high-qual­i­ty ven­ti­la­tion while main­tain­ing the opti­mum tem­per­a­ture. And it con­sumes no more than 405 kW per year, refer­ring to the ener­gy con­sump­tion class A +.

The 339 l refrig­er­a­tor com­part­ment is equipped with four glass shelves and two plas­tic draw­ers. There is light­ing and an audi­ble alarm for the open door. Defrost­ing takes place using No Frost tech­nol­o­gy.

The 177L freez­er also has mul­ti­ple shelves and draw­ers.

Pros and cons

How to choose a refrigerator

It would seem: a refrig­er­a­tor is a refrig­er­a­tor, and what to choose? How­ev­er, they have a num­ber of vari­eties and func­tions that are very impor­tant for some users and use­less for oth­ers. Answers ques­tions from read­ers Pavel KomarovHead of the House­hold Appli­ances and Elec­tron­ics cat­e­go­ry at Avi­to.

First of all, you should pay atten­tion to the fol­low­ing aspects:

Dimensions

Before going to the store, you need to mea­sure the avail­able space with a tape mea­sure, make sure there is enough space to open the doors of the refrig­er­a­tor and check for sock­ets next to it.

Refrigerator type

Mod­ern refrig­er­a­tors are sin­gle, dou­ble and mul­ti-cham­ber. For a small space, sin­gle-cham­ber devices con­sist­ing only of a refrig­er­at­ing cham­ber are suit­able. How­ev­er, the best option is two-cham­ber refrig­er­a­tors.

Such mod­els include refrig­er­at­ing and freez­ing com­part­ments inde­pen­dent of each oth­er. It is impor­tant to note that the pow­er of the freez­er is indi­cat­ed by snowflakes — the more there are, the longer the shelf life of food.

Refrigerator volume

To cal­cu­late the min­i­mum vol­ume of a refrig­er­a­tor for a fam­i­ly, you can use the fol­low­ing for­mu­la: 120 liters for 1 per­son + 60 liters for each fam­i­ly mem­ber. It is also impor­tant to con­sid­er eat­ing habits — if you plan to cook a lot, it is bet­ter to take a larg­er refrig­er­a­tor.
