Common parameters

Each of these models is not too different from the other in terms of basic technical characteristics:

freestanding units with bottom freezers;

Noise level

This parameter for both models is also absolutely identical and, according to manufacturers, does not exceed 39 dB... True, for this, the refrigeration unit must be placed on an absolutely flat surface and adjusted strictly according to the level.

Freezer

At first glance, the freezers in both refrigerators do not differ significantly. Both are located at the bottom of the unit and have three drawers. Looking at the instructions, you will see that Atlant XM 4092 022 can freeze 4.5 kg of food per day. At the same time, Indesit BIA 16 is capable of handling only four kilograms. The difference seems to be small, but it is.

only 3 door shelves «Indesita"Cannot compete with 6 at Atlant in any way;
