All refrigerators are divided into 4 types: single-chamber, two-chamber, Side-by-Side and multi-chamber. Prices between the cheapest and the most expensive vary dozens of times. I propose to understand how they differ from each other and which refrigerator is better to choose for comfortable use? I present to your attention the rating of the best refrigerators years, based on expert reviews and owner reviews. For convenience, I divided it into 4 sections according to the type of refrigerator, and inside each group I grouped them according to the price increase, in order to understand what expensive is better than cheap and whether it is worth paying more.
TOP 8 single chamber
The most reliable and easy to use with a small freezer inside or without it. Europe has practically abandoned the production of such equipment in favor of large energy-efficient units. Therefore, almost all the models in this section of the rating come from the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. Their advantage is low price and relatively small dimensions. Common disadvantages - require manual defrosting and have a small volume.
Biryusa 108
Opens the rating of an inexpensive sample of domestic manufacturer. It has a freezer, but it is located inside, does not have its own external door and is not designed for deep freezing. Total capacity - 115 liters (88 liters - refrigeration and 27 liters - freezer). Inside - 2 glass shelves, a plastic container and 3 plastic shelves on the door. The control is mechanical. Energy class - A. In the refrigerator compartment, the defrost is drip, does not require the intervention of the owner. The freezer will have to be defrosted manually, and often. Price - .
Pros:
- price;
- compactness;
- simple operation;
- high energy efficiency;
- low noise level;
- there is a freezer;
- LED lightening;
- tempered glass shelves;
- drip system for defrosting the refrigerator compartment;
- Warranty - 3 years.
Minuses:
- not roomy enough;
- the freezer is small, located inside the refrigerator and is not designed for deep freezing;
- it must often be defrosted.
An excellent choice for a small office or cottage, suitable for hotels, dorm rooms or as a home refrigerator for 1-2 people. For three, it will not be enough. If you need a compact refrigerator for 2-3 people, I recommend the Biryusa 110 model.
Saratov 452 (KSh-120)
Compared with Biryusa 108 has an increased volume of the refrigerator (107 liters) and a reduced volume of the freezer (15 liters). Total capacity increased by 7 liters. In practice, this difference is almost not felt, and the freezer is so small that even a two-liter bottle can hardly fit there. Both have to be defrosted manually. Energy class - A. Price - .
Pros:
- compactness;
- simple operation;
- high energy efficiency;
- low noise level;
- there is a freezer;
- LED lightening;
- tempered glass shelves;
- manufacturer's warranty - 3 years.
Minuses:
- small volume;
- the freezer is small and inside the refrigerator, it is not designed for deep freezing;
- the temperature in it does not reach the promised -12 degrees even with the most powerful mode;
- manual defrost;
- short power cable;
- vegetables in the lower container spoil quickly;
- no egg storage tray included.
Not a bad refrigerator for an office, a summer residence or a single person, but the price is too high. Biryusa 108 is cheaper by 1300, while it is more convenient with a drip defrosting system.
Indesit TT 85
In terms of useful volume, it is comparable to the Saratov 452 (KSh-120) model, but 12 cm wider. This must be taken into account when planning the placement of equipment. Like Biryusa 108, it has a drip system for defrosting the refrigerating chamber and a manual one for freezing. Energy efficiency class, unlike previous models in the rating - B. In annual terms, it consumes up to 20% more electricity. One shelf in the refrigerator is in the form of a metal grill, which, in my opinion, is a minus both in terms of design and in terms of ergonomics. Price - .
Pros:
- low noise level;
- there is a freezer, it closes tightly, freezes well;
- drip defrost;
- LED lightening;
- simple controls.
Minuses:
- small volume;
- one metal shelf;
- freezer inside the refrigerator, with a small volume and not designed for deep freezing;
- low energy efficiency;
- manual defrosting of the freezer;
- short power cable;
- no egg storage tray included.
The refrigerator of a famous Italian brand, which, like the previous ones, is suitable for 1-2 people, office, hotel room or summer cottage. Confused by the price. With a similar functionality from Biryusa 108 it costs almost more expensive, however, it has a larger volume. If you need a bigger refrigerator, you can take Saratov 452 (KSh-120), although you will have to defrost it more often. If you're not looking for savings, the Indesit TT 85 is a good option.
Turquoise 110
The “Big Brother” Biryusa 108 deservedly got into the TOP of the best. Among the changes - an increased volume of the refrigerating chamber (153 liters) and 3 shelves. Dimensions - 480 × 610 × 1230 mm. Price - .
Pros:
- the price is low;
- there is a freezer;
- LED lightening;
- tempered glass shelves;
- simple control;

Minuses:
- freezer inside, it is small, not designed for deep freezing;
- the need for frequent defrosting.
Suitable for a family of 2-3 people who do not use freezing of food in reserve. One of the best value propositions on the market with such a volume.
ATLANT X 2401-100
Refrigerator of Belarusian production for 120 liters (105 + 15). Unlike all other small refrigerators in the ranking, it can lower the temperature in the freezer to -180, which is a favorable factor for long-term storage of products. Freezing capacity, according to the manufacturer - up to 2 kg / day. Defrosting system - drip for the refrigerating chamber and manual - for the freezer. Price - .
Pros:
- low noise level;
- high energy efficiency;

Minuses:
- small volume;
- a small freezer located inside the refrigerator;
- manual defrosting of the freezer.
Unlike all the small refrigerators presented in the ranking before, it can actually freeze food, and not only store frozen food. The capacity of the freezer will not allow you to freeze a large amount of food. If the freezing function is important to you, then an overpayment of several thousand is justified. If you do not plan to freeze food, then you can save money and buy Biryusa 108.
ATLANT МХ 5810-62
Refrigerator without freezer for 285 liters. Inside - 5 shelves and 2 drawers. Dimensions - 600 × 600 × 1500. Defrosting system - drip. Energy class - A. Price - .

A good unit for 3-4 people who mainly use the refrigerator, and the volume of the freezer does not really matter. If you don't need a freezer, pay attention to ATLANT MX 5810-62. For 2-3 people, you can take Biryusa 110.
Pozis Sviyaga 513-5 W
Completes the TOP single-chamber refrigerator without a freezer compartment for 250 liters. It is offered in 7 colors: 6 classic (shades from white to black) and original ruby - you can choose the execution for any interior. Defrosting system - drip: the refrigerator needs almost no maintenance. Energy class - A. Price - .

Option for those who don't need a freezer. A worthy competitor to ATLANT МХ 5810-62. It has a slightly smaller volume, but lacks the old-fashioned protruding handle, and is available in several colors. But the metal shelves inside do not fit into the modern concept of refrigeration technology development. Which of these refrigerators to choose is impossible to say objectively. The difference in price is minimal, here you should rely on taste, preferences in design and ergonomics.
TOP 5 double-chamber
Two-compartment refrigerators have 2 independent chambers that can be cooled with one compressor or two. There are more options for additional functionality compared to single-chamber ones, hence the big difference in price between simple budget and top-end models.
ATLANT XM 4208-000
The most budgetary model in the TOP among two-compartment refrigerators. Not a bad alternative to Biryusa 118 for those who appreciate every inch in the freezer. Its volume is 42 liters. Simultaneously with the increase in the chamber, the freezing capacity decreases (2 kg / day). Defrosting is manual. Refrigerating chamber 131 liters - this is 14 liters less than that of Biryusa 118. Defrosting - drip. Management is mechanical. Energy class - A. Price - .
Pros:
- price;
- compactness;
- high energy efficiency;
- low noise level;
- convenient location of the freezer (bottom);
- LED lightening;
- tempered glass shelves;
- the manufacturer gives a 3-year warranty.
Minuses:
- build quality;
- manual defrosting of the freezer;
- it is not very convenient to get the bottom drawer out of the refrigerator compartment.
ATLANT ХМ 4208-000 is suitable for a family of 2-3 people and a small kitchen. With its small dimensions, it has an impressive freezer. If a large refrigeration compartment is preferable, then pay attention to Biryusa 118. If you need a more spacious, compact refrigerator, you can take Beko RCNK 270K20 W, but you will have to overpay almost .
Indesit DF 5200 W
Refrigerator with No Frost volume 328 l (253 + 75). Inside the chamber there are 4 glass shelves that can be pulled out 7 cm for better visibility of the interior space and 2 drawers for vegetables. The freezer has 3 pull-out drawers as standard. Autonomous preservation of cold - up to 13 hours.Freezing capacity - up to 2 kg / day. Electronic control. The touch panel is located at the top of the refrigerator and has 3 buttons and indicators of the selected mode. You can select the operating mode for the refrigerator compartment, the temperature in the freezer will change according to the set mode for the refrigerator. Only 6 operating modes - from + 2 to +8 degrees and supercooling / superfreezing. As noted by some users, the temperature in the refrigerator does not always correspond to the mode and may differ by 4-6 degrees on the upper and lower shelves. Price - .
Pros:
- large volume;
- design and build quality;
- tempered glass shelves;
- open door sensor;
- temperature control;
- convenient location of the freezer (bottom);
- high energy efficiency;
- touch control;
- Active temperature indication;
- defrosting No Frost;
- perfectly preserves the freshness of products;
- keeps cold for a long time.
Minuses:
- Dimensions - 600 × 640 × 2000 mm, not suitable for any kitchen, it is difficult for children and short people to reach the top shelf;
- lighting - not LED;
- no door closer;
- the door open signal does not always work;
- there is no open door sensor in the freezer;
- the sound of an unlocked door is very quiet;
- noisy work;
- short cord;
- short instruction.
If you need a large refrigerator with No Frost, a moderate freezer volume in the mainstream segment, this is a good option. Its key drawback is noise during operation, so I would not recommend it for a studio apartment, although in defense of this model I will say that all refrigerators with No Frost periodically emit loud sounds - this is due to design features. Save almost and buying a Beko RCNK 270K20 W is advisable for 1–2 people, for three people its volume may not be enough.
LG GA-B419 SYGL
Inverter compressor: quieter, more energy efficient, longer life. The latter is still difficult to confirm, since the models are only a year old. But there were already users who had a factory defect associated with the compressor. The operating noise is really minimal, the compressor runs quietly. But the refrigerator cannot be called silent: fans and other No Frost components make a lot of noise and periodically knock. Energy efficiency at altitude - class A + (277 kWh / year). Volume - 302 l (223 + 79). Freezing capacity - 9.3 kg / day Electronic control, buttons, there is a LED display. It displays the temperature inside both chambers, but not real, but set by the user. Temperature range - from -15 to - 230 in the freezer and from 0 to +60 - in the refrigerator. The change interval is 1 degree. Additional functions are declared: door closing indicator, door hanging, quick freezing, system of uniform distribution of cold air over the shelves Multi Air Flow, protection from children. The latter turns out to be useless in practice, it means only blocking the control panel, but it is placed high for a small child. Price - .
Pros:
- design, the color is beautiful;
- inverter compressor;
- large volume;
- low noise level;
- shock freeze option;
- defrosting No Frost;
- air distribution system Multi Air Flow - the temperature is the same on all shelves;
- tempered glass shelves;
- LED lighting;
- open door sensor;
- temperature control of the refrigerator and freezer;
- LED display;
- perfectly preserves the freshness of products;
- keeps cold for a long time.
Minuses:
- protruding hatch on top of the cover. You won't be able to put anything on the refrigerator;
- condensation forms on the inner walls at the junction of the door;
- freezer capacity for a large family may not be enough;
- egg tray for 8 pieces.
LG GA-B419 SYGL differs from Indesit DF 5200 W in quieter operation, even distribution of cold air throughout the chamber and the ability to adjust the temperature regime in both chambers. Inverter compressor - in theory, should last longer. The manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty for it. But the capacity of the refrigerator compartment is noticeably less, and it costs 3 thousand more. The price difference is not that great, given the increased reliability of the LG GA-B419 SYGL.But if you have a large family, the volume of the refrigerator is important, it is better to take Indesit DF 5200 W. If you need a large refrigerator with No Frost, I recommend Hotpoint-Ariston HF 9201 W RO. You have to pay extra .
Samsung RB-30 J3000WW
Like the LG GA-B419 SYGL, it is equipped with an inverter compressor. With a comparable total volume, it has an increased freezer (98 liters versus 79) and, accordingly, a large freezing capacity (13 kg). The number of shelves in the refrigerator compartment is 3 + 1 extendable. There are 3 drawers in the freezer. Electronic control - 2 touch keys inside on the top of the refrigerator compartment + LED indicators of the operating mode. There are 6 operating modes for the freezer - from -15 to -230 and super freezing. There are also 6 modes for the refrigerator - from +1 to +70 and vacation. In the latter mode, the refrigerator maintains the temperature inside the chamber at 12 degrees. In my opinion, the option is doubtful: perishable products at this temperature during your absence risk a chasm, and saving energy, taking into account the fact that the refrigerator will not open, will be minimal. In general, when you go on vacation and activate this mode, do not forget to make sure that there are no perishable foods left in the refrigerator. All-around Cooling (uniform cooling of the entire chamber area) and SpaceMax systems have been implemented. The latter means that the refrigerator has thin walls, with equal dimensions with competitors, it has a larger usable volume. This can be seen in the example of LG GA-B419 SYGL. It is 13 cm higher, in volume inferior to 9 liters. Price - .
Pros:
- inverter compressor;
- low noise level;
- capacious freezer;
- shock freezing function;
- tempered glass shelves;
- extendable shelf;
- LED lighting;
- All-around Cooling system;
- defrosting No Frost;
- touch control;
- temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer;
- open door sensor;
- well keeps freshness of products;
- keeps cold for a long time.
Minuses:
- inconvenient location of the control panel. To change the operating mode, you need to open the refrigerator, if you hesitate - the open door alarm will work;
- shelves are not adjustable in height;
- in a fruit box near the walls it freezes even at +5 degrees;
- tray for 6 eggs.
Samsung RB-30 J3000WW - a good unit for a family of 3-4 people. Not much different from the LG GA-B419 SYGL, except for the size of the freezer and the power of freezing. Even the price of these refrigerators is the same. In this case, you have to choose according to brand preference. In my opinion, LG GA-B419 SYGL looks more stylish, and control from the outside is a good advantage. If your budget does not pull , pay attention to the Indesit DF 5200 W. It is also not bad, although it is noisy due to the installed linear compressor. If this is expensive for you, you will have to consider models without No Frost.
Liebherr Cef 4025
The most expensive model in the TOP of two-compartment refrigerators. A large silver refrigerator of the German manufacturer. The system for defrosting the freezer is SmartFrost, the refrigeration chamber is drip. There is a manual defrost, but thanks to the well-thought-out technology of uniform cooling and ideally smooth walls, this will not have to be done often. But unlike No Frost refrigerators, this one has the energy class A ++. The model incorporates advanced manufacturer developments. DuoCooling system - a dual-circuit cooling system regulates the temperature in the refrigeration and freezers with an accuracy of 1 degree independently of each other. SmartSteel does not leave any fingerprints and is easy to clean. PowerCooling system - quick cooling of products, maintaining a uniform temperature throughout the chamber. SuperFrost automatic mode - sharply lowers the temperature in the freezer to -320creating a “reserve of cold" for freezing, and after freezing it automatically returns the unit to its usual mode of operation. SuperCool automatic mode keeps the temperature in the refrigerator at + 20 for 12 hours. FrostSafe drawer containers have a closed design and a transparent front panel. This simplifies the search for products, keeps the cold longer.Indication FrostControl - the refrigerator will inform you of a critical temperature increase in the freezer during a power outage or when the door is not tightly closed. SmartDevice - can be controlled from a computer or mobile device, but the SmartDeviceBox module (purchased separately) is required. Volume - 357 L (269 + 88). Power freezing - up to 12 kg / day. Price - .
Pros:
- design;
- metal case;
- aluminum handle with integrated opening mechanism;
- build quality;
- SmartSteel coverage;
- inverter compressor;
- large volume;
- 2 working circuits;
- volumetric freezer;
- tempered glass shelves;
- shelf for bottles;
- SuperFrost, SuperCool functions;
- open door sensor;
- temperature adjustment of the refrigerator, freezers;
- keeps a cold for a long time;
- the ability to control from a smartphone or computer;
- low noise level;
- child protection;
- Warranty - 2 years.
Minuses:
- protruding handles: they look beautiful, but are not always convenient + according to user reviews, their design often fails;
- no ice maker;
- the control panel is located inconveniently - behind the door at the very top at a height of 2 m;
- manual defrosting of the freezer;
- drip defrosting of the refrigerator compartment;
- no freshness zone.
In terms of design and build quality, it can compete with the Hotpoint-Ariston HF 9201 W RO - a beautiful color and massive aluminum handles. The absence of No Frost in the refrigerator for frustrating. According to user reviews, the cooling system in it really allows you to minimize the formation of frost and ice in the freezer: on average, 1 defrost is enough per year. There are no additional elements of the system that may fail or create additional noise. This minus turns into even a plus and can cause a refusal to purchase this refrigerator only for the lazy. For them and for those whose budget does not allow spending on equipment I recommend Samsung RB-30 J3000WW or LG GA-B419 SYGL. They are slightly smaller in volume, but cheaper by 10 thousand. Samsung RB-30 J3000WW wins in freezer capacity. If you choose an innovative refrigerator from a design perspective, it is better to take Hotpoint-Ariston HF 9201 W RO.
TOP 4 Side-by-Side
Side-by-Side (side by side) is a type of two-compartment refrigerators in which the refrigerating and freezing compartments are located nearby. Their advantage is a large volume of the freezer, which is practically comparable to the volume of the refrigeration unit. Of the shortcomings, we can distinguish dimensions. When buying it, take care of the free space. To open the door normally, it should not stand against the wall: the minimum distance is 5–10 cm, and the optimal distance is 20 or more. This technique is suitable for large families where products are actively frozen. The choice of such compared to conventional two-chamber is small, so I decided to highlight 4 models.
Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22 B4CW
Volume - 620 liters (380 + 240). In the freezer - 4 shelves of glass, adjustable in height, 2 drawers and 5 shelves in the door. In the refrigerator - 4 glass shelves, 2 large drawers and 5 shelves in the door. There is a compartment for cooling cans of drinks. Two independent cooling circuits. Energy class - A +. Electronic control. Touch panel on the left door. Proprietary defrost system - Perfect No Frost. How it differs from simple No Frost, I could not figure it out. In turbo-cooling mode, the unit cools 1.3 times faster. The design is classic, the color is white. Dimensions - 980 × 780 × 1840 mm. Price - .
Pros:
- price. One of the most affordable Side-by-Side refrigerators;
- quality of materials and assembly;
- large volume;
- energy efficiency;
- 2 working circuits;
- ergonomics of the internal space. Convenient location of shelves, wide shelves in the door, compartment for cooling cans, LED illumination in both cameras;
- sound signal of an open door;
- No frost
- intelligent electronic control.
Minuses:
- reciprocating linear compressor;
- the actual height of the refrigerator is greater. The control board is located on the upper wall. This should be considered when designing a kitchen;
- protruding handles;
- noisy in comparison with the samples having the invertor compressor.
A good refrigerator of a reliable Korean brand without "bells and whistles".A successful purchase for a large family - a large volume and thoughtful ergonomics will allow you to place all your food reserves in it. There is an advantage in price: the closest competitor LG GC-B247 JVUV stands at expensive. Moreover, he already has an inverter compressor, a uniform distribution of cold air. Buying this model will also be justified.
LG GC-B247 JVUV
It differs from Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22 B4CW in capacity, the ratio of the volume of both cameras and additional functionality. Total volume - 613 liters, a refrigerator - 394 liters, a freezer - 219 liters. Defrost system No Frost. It has an inverter compressor, touch control. Among the features of the model, I will single out the antibacterial coating of the sealant, the system of uniform cooling of the entire chamber space, the cover of the Moist Balance Crisper vegetable box, which can maintain optimal humidity. You can control from a smartphone (Smart ThinQ), as well as quickly diagnose a problem. You need to call the hotline and press the button: the signal emitted by the refrigerator will enable the specialist to first determine the cause and give the user advice on possible troubleshooting. Energy class - A +. Dimensions are comparable to Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22 B4CW. The difference of a few centimeters is not felt in practice. Price - .
Pros:
- quality of materials and assembly;
- large volume;
- No frost
- inverter compressor with a guarantee of 10 years;
- energy efficiency;
- 2 working circuits;
- ergonomics of the internal space;
- sound signal of an open door;
- low noise level;
- intelligent electronic control.
Minuses:
- heavy;
- easily soiled;
- child protection is useless, only the sensor is blocked, to which the child will not get.
A good quiet refrigerator of a famous brand with an inverter compressor. It works quietly, keeps the cold for a long time. A considerable price - . For those who want to save, I can offer Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22 B4CW. It is more noisy, has a linear compressor. For the user, this does not mean anything: it also performs the cooling and freezing functions well, therefore, the savings of 20 thousand are justified in this case. Skeptics who insist on a smaller resource of linear compressors, I advise you to read the reviews of the real owners or remember the Soviet refrigerators, the resource of which has not been exhausted so far. It all depends on the quality of the motor and the proper operation of the equipment.
Samsung RS-552 NRUASL
It differs from the two previous models in the rating by a smaller volume with similar dimensions (refrigerator compartment - 341 l, freezer - 197 l, total volume - 538 l). But it wins by the number of shelves - 1 more in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, has a large box with 3 compartments. Defrosting system - No Frost. Energy class - A +. The design is an interesting, silver color. Price - .
Pros:
- quality of materials and assembly;
- large volume;
- inverter compressor;
- energy efficiency;
- 2 working circuits;
- beautiful display backlight;
- No frost
- multi-threaded system Multi Flow;
- sound signal of an open door;
- low noise level;

Minuses:
- easily soiled;
- the doors open heavily;
- inconvenient location of the touch panel. The buttons on the handle constantly touch when you open / close the refrigerator. It is decided by activation of the “child protection” mode;
- shelf height is not adjustable;
- To align the legs you need a special key.
Nice fridge. Is it worth that kind of money? I think no. LG GC-B247 JVUV is 10 thousand cheaper and in no way inferior, even has a larger volume. You can save even more if you take the Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22 B4CW. Its disadvantage is a linear compressor, and the price of below.
Liebherr SBS 7212
The largest refrigerator in the ranking. Volume - 640 L (390 + 260). In the refrigerator compartment - as many as 7 shelves and 2 drawers, in the freezer - 8 drawers. The engineers managed to achieve such successes by increasing the width of the unit: it is 121 cm, this must be taken into account when planning the kitchen. The height is rather modest - 185 cm (you can put a TV on top or equip shelves). The system for defrosting the freezer is No Frost, the refrigeration system is drip. Power freezing - up to 20 kg per day.Liebherr SBS 7212 is equipped with two compressors (the freezer and refrigerator are independent, and if one compressor fails, the second will continue to work). Both compressors are linear. Management - 2 touch panels behind the doors. Energy class - A +. Design is a classic; only branded pens from Liebherr give it out. White color. Price - .
Pros:
- quality of materials and assembly;
- large volume;
- good freezing power;
- cameras are delivered separately - freezer and refrigerator (convenient to bring, can be carried around the room, you can turn off one of the cameras, if necessary);
- energy efficiency;
- 2 compressors;
- low noise level;
- touch control;
- sound signal of an open door of a freezer;
- defrosting the freezer - No Frost;
- LED lighting.
Minuses:
- linear compressors;
- easily soiled;
- protruding pens. They are strong, but the mechanical elements wear out over time, you can break them, trying to open the freezer immediately after closing;
- no assembly instructions included;
- no freshness zone;
- no lighting freezer;
- there is no signal of an open door.
Price - : Considering that 2 compressors are installed, it is not so great. The disadvantages in comparison with competitors are the drip thawing of the refrigerating chamber, linear compressors, i.e. the temperature in the chamber will not be uniform and constant. But equipment with an inverter compressor would cost at least 50% more. Therefore, given the large volume, high quality Liebherr, I can recommend this refrigerator. If this unit is expensive for you, you can consider the budget Samsung RS-552 NRUASL or LG GC-B247 JVUV. Savings up to .
TOP 3 multi-chamber
Multi-chamber refrigerators are notable for their non-standard design and camera placement in relation to each other. Often they are equipped with separate functional cameras, an ice generator. Suitable for large families, shops, cafes, restaurants, because they allow you to organize a separate storage system for products in compliance with the rules of the commodity neighborhood. They have a large volume, thoughtful ergonomics. Of the shortcomings - only a high price. I have selected TOP-3 of the best multi-chamber refrigerators and I hasten to present them to you.
