14 best freezers

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

In most cases, a person does not need a separate freezer. Most often it is part of the refrigerator. But sometimes you cannot do without such a device. For example, a freezer can be used in a dormitory. And it certainly is needed by any restaurant and catering. But which freezer should you buy? The fact is that in stores you can easily stumble upon models that fail after a year and a half or two. Not to mention the fact that such devices may not produce the declared temperature. In a word, let's get acquainted with the best freezers sold in Russian retail chains – the models reviewed here are able to please with both high reliability and excellent characteristics.

Best inexpensive freezers

ATLANT M 7204-100

Rating: 4.7

If we talk exclusively about budget freezers, then products from Russia and Belarus prevail here. This is not surprising, because the ATLANT M 7204-100, which opens our rating, does not need to be delivered from abroad, and the work of people at the relevant plant is paid in rubles. In a word, you can buy this model for only 19 thousand rubles. For this money, you will get a very large device. It consists of one chamber, the volume of which is an impressive 243 liters. The walls may seem too large, but the low temperature does not leak out of the case at all. And this, in turn, has a positive effect on energy consumption (the device received class A + from specialists).

The savings made the manufacturer not think about the design of their creation. Most of all, the device looks like an ordinary refrigerator, the body of which is painted white. Basically, the product was created from plastic and metal. The usual isobutane is used here as a refrigerant. This means that if it leaks in the distant future, then the corresponding masters will refill the freezer without any problems.

Of course, there is no No Frost system here. Defrosting here is exclusively manual. And it will be required from time to time, otherwise the freezer will gradually literally overgrow with ice. Well, there is nothing to be done, this is a representative of the budget segment.

If the electricity is suddenly turned off, then nothing will happen to the food inside this freezer. If the door is not opened, the cold inside will remain for about 16 hours. By the way, the temperature inside the chamber drops to -18 ° C. Not a record, but many owners of ATLANT M 7204-100 are quite satisfied with this figure. As for the freezing capacity, it reaches 24 kg / day.

It's nice that this model received a superfreeze function, often budget freezers are deprived of such a useful feature. But there is no ice maker here. However, even very expensive models do not have it, so there is no need to worry.

This freezer allows you to rebalance the door if required. It should also be noted that the product belongs to climatic classes N, SN, ST and T. This means that it can be used anywhere in Russia – even in Krasnodar, even in Norilsk.

It remains to add that the device weighs 66 kg. And also the device makes almost no noise. Of course, 39 dB is audible when you are very close to the freezer. But if you go to another room, you can immediately forget about the existence of the freezer.

Advantages

• Long warranty period (3 years);
• Not very high noise level;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Decent freezer volume;
• There is a 'super freeze' mode;
• Not the highest power consumption;
• The simplest electromechanical control;
• High freezing power;
• Low cost;
• Long-term autonomous preservation of cold.

disadvantages

• Manual defrosting;
• Tight door opening.

Turquoise 14

Rating: 4.6

Another domestic representative of our rating. This model is much more compact. In fact, it can replace a bedside table. It is not surprising that the owners of the premises in the hostel make their choice in its favor. Also, such a freezer is found in summer cottages, where a full-fledged refrigerator is not required. Residents of country houses should also like the price, which does not exceed 12 thousand rubles.

Of course, such a freezer is not able to accommodate a huge amount of food. But a 110-liter volume is also enough to fill the insides with dumplings, dumplings, chicken legs and frozen berries. The operation of this device is provided by the R600a refrigerant, popularly called isobutane. Not the most, I must say, quiet – the noise level can reach quite decent 42 dB. But you can't call loud work either – you can still sleep near such a freezer.

You can also complain about the motor in terms of its energy consumption. The product has received the appropriate class A, which will not suit every customer. More specifically, an always-on freezer will consume 223 kWh each year. Of course, larger freezers can only dream of this parameter, so you should not worry too much.

Of course, manual defrosting of the chamber is used here. It is rarely required – the ice freezes very slowly. As for the autonomous preservation of cold, the use of not the best quality seals is evident. The temperature starts to rise already 10 hours after the power outage.

This device is capable of freezing with a capacity of 12 kg / day. It's nice that the freezer got a reversible door. And this model is also capable of boasting a minimum weight. Agree, you are unlikely to have any problems with lifting a 36-kilogram device to, say, the fifth floor.

Advantages

• Very low price;
• The door can be outweighed;
• The freezer turned out to be very light;
• Compact dimensions;
• Decent freezing power;
• Simple electromechanical control.

disadvantages

• The noise level is not very low;
• Volume – only 110 liters;
• Short-term autonomous preservation of cold;
• Manual defrosting.

Saratov 153 (MKSH-135)

Rating: 4.5

Our rating includes a variety of budget freezers. They all have completely different volumes. For example, Saratov 153 has a chamber with a volume of 135 liters. As they say, neither more nor less. I don't want to use such a device in a dorm, since it is intended for too many products. Well, for some restaurant its capabilities will definitely not be enough. Perhaps, this model can be recommended for installation in small catering outlets selling shawarma and hamburgers.

The purchase of such a freezer will cost 13-14 thousand rubles. For this money, you will be provided with the simplest outwardly model. The manufacturer clearly did not rack his brains over the design or the materials used. It's a pity. The fact is that he made a choice in favor of not the best sealant. The cold quickly goes outside the freezer. If the electricity is suddenly turned off, then quickly enough you will have to think about what to do with the thawed food. Also, because of all this, the motor has to work in an enhanced mode. It is not surprising that the freezer has received an energy class B. Each year, such a device winds 361 kWh on the counter.

But we're not trying to scare you. In fact, it is not without reason that Saratov 153 (MKSH-135) buys a large number of people. People love the ability to move the door so that it opens the other way. It is also impossible not to appreciate the electromechanical control, which even an elderly person can deal with. And also the device makes almost no noise. Accurate measurements were not carried out, but buyers note that theoretically a person can fall asleep even while in the same room as this freezer. The products are stored here in convenient boxes, nothing prevents them from getting out. There is also a 'super freeze' mode, which is not present in every device that has such a low cost.

Unfortunately, in the end we are forced to return to the disadvantages. This tricky model completes our selection of budget freezers. In no case should it be bought by residents of the southern regions. The fact is that the product complies with the climatic class N. This means that if the outside temperature rises to + 32 ° C, the compressor will start working in a constant mode, without taking breaks. And also there is no No Frost. But this is not a problem, since the ice freezes rather slowly, so manual defrosting is extremely rare.

Advantages

• Quiet work;
• Good freezing power;
• Convenient boxes;
• There is a mesh box for berries and other bulk products;
• Low cost;
• The volume can be called quite decent;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Simplest management;
• Weight does not exceed 40 kg.

disadvantages

• Belongs to climate class N;
• High power consumption;
• Short-term preservation of cold without electricity;
• Manual defrosting;
• The build quality will not suit everyone.

The best freezers in the middle price segment

Vestfrost VF 391 WGNF

Rating: 4.9

It is a rare case when the device receives extremely positive feedback. Many buyers do not understand at all what to find fault with here. Therefore, Vestfrost VF 391 WGNF could not fail to get into our rating.

This model has dimensions of 59.5x65x186 cm. Therefore, it can be compared with a traditional refrigerator. Therefore, do not be surprised that the volume of the camera available here is as much as 307 liters. This is enough for a huge amount of meat, berries and other products requiring freezing. I am glad that transparent boxes are used here. Due to this, finding the right product will not be difficult.

Despite its very large size, the device consumes only 328 kWh annually. As a result, the experts awarded the product with the A + energy class. But this is not the main advantage of this freezer! The device has received support for No Frost! This means that no ice is generated here at all. Defrosting is never required! This will be especially beneficial if the freezer is installed in a restaurant kitchen. Agree, in such conditions, it is unlikely that there will ever be time to defrost this device.

Many freezers maintain temperatures as low as -18 ° C. This model allows the temperature to be reduced to -24 ° C. As you know, this is required for some meat products – this temperature will provide a longer shelf life. Against this background, the freezing capacity is no longer at all surprising, which here reaches 21 kg / day. As for the autonomous preservation of the cold, it is 15 hours. It turns out that a sudden power outage is unlikely to make the kitchen worker worry.

The usual isobutane is used here as a refrigerant. I would like to say that refueling the device will not be difficult in the future. But the reliability of the assembly is such that it is unlikely that a refrigerant leak will ever happen. You can safely count on the very long service life of this freezer. It is not for nothing that it is estimated at 43 thousand rubles – not the smallest amount. However, and not fabulous – reading our rating, you will be convinced that there are more expensive freezers.

Surprisingly, the merits don't end there with all of the above. In particular, one cannot fail to note the 68 kilogram weight. Agree, such a large freezer could have been heavier. Also, the device is capable of boasting an antibacterial coating. And it also corresponds to two climatic classes at once – SN and T, which makes it more versatile. In short, you can only complain about the lack of an ice generator. But it doesn't exist in many of the more expensive freezers either.

Advantages

• There is a temperature indication;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes;
• Very large freezer volume;
• Not very heavy;
• The door can be outweighed;
• There is an antibacterial coating;
• Temperature can be lowered down to -24 ° C;
• Low power consumption;
• High freezing power;
• Long autonomous preservation of cold.

disadvantages

• Very high cost.

Liebherr G 4013

Rating: 4.8

The German company Liebherr produces a large number of rather expensive refrigeration equipment. There are also full-fledged freezers in its assortment, which are referred to in this rating. For example, the G 4013 model is a freezer. This appliance boasts an unusually large volume. To be precise, this parameter is equal to 413 liters. This parameter should be enough for any restaurant.

Of course, the Super Freeze mode is implemented here. But the temperature display can please even more. There is also a sound signal that sounds when the door is open. This means that it is unlikely that a kitchen worker can forget to close the door, which would leave most of the cold inside the chamber. There is also a light indication here – it signals that the temperature is exceeded.

As you know, many freezers and refrigerators are able to maintain a low temperature when the temperature is turned off for about 15-20 hours. Liebherr G 4013 easily breaks such records! The owner of this device can count on 45 hours! This parameter also contributes to low power consumption. How high can it be if the motor is idle most of the time? If you need an exact figure, then this is 290 kWh – this is exactly the amount of electricity consumed per year. Experts have endowed this model with the A ++ energy class.

The door closes here very tightly. However, the push handle makes opening much easier. The door, by the way, can be outweighed. This is required if you need to ensure that it opens in the other direction.

The freezer belongs to two climatic classes – SN and T. This allows us to hope that the device will show itself perfectly in most parts of the Russian Federation. Well, as for the freezing capacity, it is 26 kg / day. It is unlikely that any of the buyers will complain about this parameter.

This freezer turned out to be quite expensive. It seems that for this money the Germans will offer a device with No Frost support. Alas, this is not the case. The appliance involves manual defrosting of the freezer. Fortunately, if this model is used correctly, then if ice appears inside, then in a minimum amount.

Advantages

• High reliability;
• The huge volume;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes;
• Very long autonomous cold preservation;
• High freezing power;
• There is a temperature indication;
• Signals about an open door and an increase in temperature;
• Very low power consumption;
• Built-in push handle.

disadvantages

• Manual defrosting;
• High price;
• Large sizes.

Gorenje F 6181 AW

Rating: 4.7

This is a slightly less wide freezer. Its width is 60 cm, and its depth is 64 cm. This means that the device can be inserted into absolutely any doorway. Of course, with such parameters, a record volume will not await you, but 309 liters also allow you to place a huge number of products inside. Such a figure will not suit only the head of a large restaurant. But even the price tag of 30 thousand rubles suggests that this is more of a model for home use.

This freezer is single chamber. In this regard, it is not surprising that there is only one door. By default, it opens to the right. But if this does not suit you, then the door can be outweighed. The control here is electromechanical. This means that even an elderly person can lower or raise the temperature. By the way, if the temperature exceeds a certain level, the indicator light starts flashing. This lets you know if you forgot to close the door. Unfortunately, there is no sound indication here.

The built-in compressor here consumes 297 kWh per year. As a result, the appliance has achieved the A + energy class. But the main advantage of the freezer is a good seal. If you suddenly lost electricity, try not to open the door. In this case, it is possible to keep the cold independently for 28 hours.

It should be noted that this model has a relatively low price tag. That is why the No Frost system is not implemented here. However, the freezer would not have made it to our rating if it had to manually defrost it every six months. No, this action needs to be performed much less frequently.

This model belongs to climate classes T and SN. The compressor included in it runs without much noise. To be precise, the noise level does not exceed 42 dB. In a word, you can only hear the device if you are near it.

Perhaps this is a decent model, which is not in vain included in our collection. In the reviews, they only complain about the tight opening of the door. But this is precisely what testifies to a high-quality magnetic seal that does not release a single gram of cold air outside. Also, not everyone likes the murmur of liquid in the cooling pipes – it makes a louder noise than the compressor.

Advantages

• Low power consumption;
• Easy control;
• Long autonomous preservation of cold;
• There is an indication of an increase in temperature;
• The freezer volume reaches 261 liters;
• Large freezing capacity;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes;
• The price tag cannot be called very high.

disadvantages

• Tight door opening;
• The noise level will not suit everyone;
• Manual defrosting of the freezer.

The best freezers in the premium price segment

Liebherr SGNPes 4355

Rating: 4.9

Another German-made freezer in our ranking. He also has a wonderful appearance. Rounded edges, a comfortable handle, high-quality materials – what else could you dream of? Only about wide availability. Alas, this is not about Liebherr SGNPes 4355. It is delivered to Russia in a limited edition, which makes it difficult to find it in retail chains.

The dimensions of this appliance are 60×66.5×185 cm. Like most of the representatives of our selection, this freezer is single-chamber. The volume of this chamber is 268 liters. Significant value, contributing to the storage of a huge amount of food. Importantly, the freezer does not need to be defrosted. The fact is that the No Frost technology is supported here. This means that the frost that accumulates on the walls does not turn into ice – it flows down in a special way into a special container.

This freezer includes an energy efficient motor. Experts have assigned the appropriate class A ++ to the device. Such a freezer consumes only 168 kWh every year. Not bad for such volumes! The engine only runs here from time to time. The fact is that the injected low temperature persists for a long time. You can make an experiment – disconnect the device from the mains. In this case, the food can be kept in the freezer for 20 hours. Only after this period will the temperature reach too high a value. By the way, when the electricity is connected, the temperature rise is indicated by light and sound indications. The kitchen worker will immediately notice this, remembering the open door.

Of course, this model supports the Super Freeze mode. Also, a temperature display is implemented here, which many cheaper freezers cannot boast of. As for the freezing capacity, it reaches 18 kg / day. Impressive value for rapidly chilling large quantities of berries, ice cream and meat products.

Of course, such a device has a smart magnetic seal. The freezer is usually very difficult to open in this case. But there is a pusher handle to make the process easier. And also electronic control is built in here. It's nice that the German manufacturer has implemented child protection – with proper blocking, pressing the buttons will not lead to anything. But there is no ice maker here. This is strange, I would like to see it in a premium segment freezer.

It remains to add that the device corresponds to four climatic classes at once – SN, N, ST and T. It turns out that the freezer will function stably in any corner of our country.

Advantages

• Overhanging the door is possible;
• Four climatic classes;
• Implemented protection from children;
• Large freezer volume;
• There is an indication of an open door and an increase in temperature;
• There is a handle with a pusher;
• Long-term autonomous preservation of cold;
• High freezing power;
• There is a temperature indication;
• Very low power consumption.

disadvantages

• High price;
• Weight is 83.2 kg.

Miele FN 28263

Rating: 4.8

Do you want to spend the least money on freezer maintenance? However, you need a device with a very spacious chamber? In this case, we recommend considering the option of purchasing the Miele FN 28263. This model is painted in the usual white color. A freezer with a volume of about 270 liters is hidden behind its door. It contains seven plastic boxes, created from a transparent material.

A compressor is used here, which consumes no more than 168 kWh per year. This complies with the A +++ energy class. It is unlikely that freezer manufacturers will ever be able to offer an even more energy efficient solution. The above figure was achieved, among other things, through the use of a high-quality sealant. However, one cannot find fault with the quality of the compressor itself. He is able to please the buyer and quiet operation – measurements have shown that the noise level barely reaches 38 dB.

The device has a temperature display. He is also capable of boasting a Super Freeze mode. The maximum manufacturer declared the freezing capacity at the level of 18 kg / day. If we resume talking about the sealant, then it contributes to the autonomous preservation of cold for 20 hours. Can this duration be considered insufficient?

Many premium freezers support No Frost technology. The Miele FN 28263 is no exception to the rule. This model also does not have to be thawed throughout its operation. The manufacturer did not forget about the possibility of hanging the door. Also, it should be noted that the device corresponds to two climatic classes at once – SN and T. This means that the freezer will work stably even in a tropical climate zone.

Well, what can you find fault with? Couldn't such a device do without its drawbacks? Perhaps not everyone will be pleased with the 87-kilogram weight. There is also no ice maker here. However, who needs it? You can create ice cubes using special accessories available at many hardware stores.

Advantages

• Extremely low power consumption;
• There is support for No Frost;
• Very high freezing power;
• Long autonomous preservation of cold;
• There is a temperature indication;
• Large freezer volume;
• Extremely low noise level;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes;
• The door can be moved.

disadvantages

• High price;
• Great weight.

Smeg CVB20RR

Rating: 4.8

The Smeg brand produces a large number of household appliances with a classic appearance. In particular, in some Russian stores you can find Smeg CVB20RR – a freezer that supposedly came to us from the middle of the 20th century. It has rounded corners, and its body is painted red. The handle also looks amazing now. The only pity is that it does not have a pusher, and therefore the door opens rather tightly. The classical design plays a negative role for the device. The fact is that such a door cannot be outweighed. If opening to the right in your room is unacceptable, then it is better to consider some other freezer.

It is interesting that the control here is electronic. Did you think that natural retro will be waiting for you? No, only the design is classic here. The rest of the characteristics are quite modern. For example, the technology of the middle of the XX century could not exactly boast of the 'Superfreeze' mode. Here he is present. Also, the freezing power is encouraging, reaching 20 kg / day. But the main difference from the freezers of previous years can be considered close to ideal tightness. If you disconnect the device from the mains, then the food will begin to deteriorate only after 23 hours.

The device turned out to be relatively low. As a result, the volume of the freezer cannot be called prohibitive – it is 170 liters. This is enough for home use, but a restaurant may need a larger freezer.

This representative of our rating corresponds to two climatic classes – SN and T. Also, the device received an energy efficiency class A +. The manufacturer claims that his creation will consume approximately 223 kWh per year. In a word, a good result, although the device is far from records.

Unfortunately, the rest of the characteristics of this model are unlikely to please you. Moreover, the lack of support for No Frost will even upset. Agree, for this money I would like to get a device that does not need to be defrosted either in a year, or in two, or in five years. You can also find fault with the noise level, which reaches 42 dB here. Again, this is not a high value, but for that kind of money I would like to buy a completely silent freezer.

Advantages

• Belongs to two climatic classes;
• Very long autonomous cold preservation;
• High freezing power;
• Extremely low power consumption;
• The freezer is not very large;
• The exterior is stylized after the kitchen appliances of the past.

disadvantages

• The noise level is not particularly low;
• Very high cost;
• The door cannot be outweighed;
• The volume of the freezer will not suit everyone;
• Manual defrosting.

Liebherr GN 4113

Rating: 4.7

Our rating of premium freezers closes with one of the most capacious items. And one of the most expensive, as they ask for about 80 thousand rubles. If you open the door of this freezer, you can access as many as eight drawers! Of course, the device turned out to be high. To be precise, the height is 194.7 cm. Pay attention to the width – 69.7 cm hints that the freezer will not pass through every doorway.

This product is able to keep its interior in the cold for as much as 34 hours! It turns out that a power outage is not at all scary to this device. And it also suggests that the motor has to turn on quite rarely. In this regard, the manufacturer managed to reduce the annual energy consumption to 296 kWh. Thumbs up for such a monster! Experts have awarded the freezer with the A ++ energy class, and deservedly so.

Such a monster could not help but receive a serious seal and a heavy door. All this would force the user to make considerable efforts in order to access the content. Fortunately, the manufacturer has incorporated a push rod handle. I wish absolutely all freezers had it! By the way, if the door is open, then the electronics of the device starts to emit a sound signal. If the temperature inside the freezer has risen too much, then the sound signal is accompanied by a light signal.

As you already understood, there is a full temperature display here. It was introduced by electronic control. The device is also capable of boasting support for the Super Freeze mode. The maximum freezing capacity can reach an impressive 26 kg / day. If this is not a record, then it is a very close indicator. It will be observed in the vast majority of climatic zones. The manufacturer declared support for SN and T classes, so the freezer is obliged to cope with its task even somewhere in the Krasnodar Territory.

Perhaps we have talked about almost all the advantages of Liebherr GN 4113. There are still two important features that cannot be ignored. The first is the possibility of hanging the door. This is important, because not all rooms can conveniently open the door from left to right. Well, the second feature is No Frost support. Agree, the absence of the need to defrost the device from time to time should be noted.

Advantages

• Very low power consumption;
• There is a handle with a pusher;
• No need to defrost;
• Extremely long cold storage without electricity;
• There is an indication of an open door and an increase in temperature;
• Very high freezing power;
• Huge volume of the freezer;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes.

disadvantages

• High price;
• Very large size.

Best compact freezers

Liebherr GP 1476

Rating: 4.8

At the beginning of our rating, we have already discussed one compact freezer. But that was a very simple model that would be most suitable for a person who does not have a lot of money. But what if you have a decent budget? In this case, you can think about buying a Liebherr GP 1476. This model has dimensions of 60.2×62.8×85.1 cm. Inside it there are four boxes, the total volume of which is 103 liters. But 20 thousand rubles are asked, of course, not for them. This device is so expensive because of its powerful compressor. With its help, the manufacturer was able to implement the Super Freeze mode. Usually this feature is not found in such small freezers. Also, engineers have introduced a temperature indication here, which is also good news.

The door of this device is easily outweighed. When it is closed, the freezer is almost inaudible. Stable operation of the device is achieved both in the northern part of Russia and in the southern one. This is evidenced by the compliance with two climatic classes at once. In any case, you will receive a device with a freezing capacity of 11 kg / day. It should also be noted the high-quality seal. Cold air hardly penetrates outside. If the electricity suddenly goes out, the freezer will keep the cold all day long! Not every device of this size can last that long.

The usual isobutane is used here as a refrigerant. As well as, it must be said, in almost all freezers considered in this rating. It is interesting that electronic control is implemented here – the Germans did not save on it. They also tried to achieve maximum energy efficiency from their compressor. If the freezer runs continuously, it will consume only 138 kWh per year. This complies with the A ++ energy class.

It remains to add that the device responds adequately to an increase in temperature in its chamber – the user is notified of this by light and sound indication. In short, the Liebherr GP 1476 is the best compact freezer. Someone will not like only the dimensions of the device – the case turned out to be too wide. And, of course, the price – not everyone wants to spend that kind of money on a miniature freezer.

Advantages

• Noise level – no more than 39 dB;
• Low power consumption;
• Very long autonomous cold preservation;
• High freezing power;
• Warns about rising temperatures;
• Equipped with a cold accumulator;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes;
• Decent roominess;
• The door can be moved.

disadvantages

• Slightly wide;
• High price;
• Manual defrosting of the freezer.

Hansa FS150.3

Rating: 4.7

One of the simplest freezers in our ranking. If other devices at least remotely resemble a refrigerator, then this cannot be said about the Hansa FS150.3. It is a relatively small box with a top lid. This imposes some restrictions on its use. If you can put something on a regular freezer, then here it will interfere with opening the lid. But on the other hand, it is securely held in a closed position, cuddling under its own weight. Cold air leaks are almost completely eliminated. Not surprisingly, when the power goes out, the cold stays inside for as much as 30 hours.

It uses the familiar isobutane – the most popular refrigerant now. As for the compressor, it is controlled electromechanically. Unfortunately, this did not allow the manufacturer to implement temperature indication. It is sad. But you can not regret about the sound indication of the open door – it is simply impossible to accidentally leave it open.

The dimensions of the device are 76x56x84.5 cm. As you can see, the width is non-standard. Fortunately, the engineers bounced back at the depth, which turned out to be small. Therefore, the device will accurately pass through any doorway. The buyer should also be pleased with the weight, which is only 32 kg. This means that the freezer can be brought to any floor without any problems without using an elevator. Another undoubted advantage of this model is the antibacterial coating. It allows us to hope for an even longer shelf life of food.

This device will consume 183 kWh of electricity per year. A very small figure that earned the freezer the A + energy class. And she is also able to boast of a very quiet work. Measurements show that the maximum noise level reaches only 40 dB. The freezer will work approximately the same anywhere in Russia. This is evidenced by its belonging to the climatic classes N and ST.

Talking about the freezer, one cannot fail to mention its volume. Here this parameter is equal to 146 liters. This will be enough for many. It is possible that some people will not even half fill the freezer.

Unfortunately, the Hansa FS150.3 has more than just positive features. This model has an extremely low freezing capacity – the manufacturer claims 7.5 kg / day. It turns out that the product will not suit the owner of a restaurant or some other similar establishment. Another drawback arises from the size of the device – here it means exclusively manual defrosting. However, no more claims can be made about the freezer, so we can safely recommend Hansa FS150.3 for purchase!

ATLANT M 7401-100

Rating: 4.6

Another mini freezer in our ranking. This instance looks more like a refrigerator we are used to. The height of the device is only 85 cm, which makes it even possible to hide it, say, under a table. The door opens here traditionally – from left to right. If this option does not suit you, then the door can be outweighed. With this size, it can be done alone – the door does not seem heavy. And the freezer itself as a whole weighs relatively little – only 30 kg.

Of course, with the above parameters, it is impossible to hope for the huge capacity of the freezer. Unfortunately, this is almost the only representative of our rating, the volume of which will not be enough for some people. To be precise, this parameter is equal to only 85 liters. It's easy to see that many refrigerators have a much larger freezer! However, the above volume is enough if the freezer will be used, for example, in the country. The entire volume is divided into one large and three smaller boxes. All of them are made of transparent plastic, so finding the right products won't take long.

The manufacturer made every effort to ensure that the cost of his freezer was only 12 thousand rubles. In this regard, he introduced electromechanical control here. This does not bother at all, because you are unlikely to use it to change the temperature, will you raise it from -18 ° C to a higher value? The corresponding regulator can only be activated when manual defrosting is required. Fortunately, this is a very rare need, as the ice inside this freezer freezes rather slowly.

ATLANT M 7401-100 has a good seal. But not bad, not great. If you disconnect the device from electricity, then after 10 hours the temperature inside it will be too high. Or is the compressor not powerful enough? The fact is that it is capable of freezing no more than 4 kg of fresh food per day. Again, this is not the biggest problem if the freezer is bought for a country house, where you rarely visit. But this model is definitely not needed for any store or restaurant.

If we are talking about electricity, then one cannot fail to note the energy class A +. The device's passport says that the product consumes 177 kWh per year. Few, but some other representatives of our rating are able to boast of greater energy efficiency. But they are also more expensive.

Despite the low cost, the freezer was tested for compliance with two climate classes – N and ST. The noise level should also please. The manufacturer claims 42 dB, but in most cases the freezer is even quieter. This is confirmed by reviews in which no one complains about loud work.

Note that some instances have a problem with the door hinges on the opposite side. If you outweigh the door, then a small gap may form, from which cold air will flow away (you will immediately notice this, since the compressor will start working without interruption). It feels like you shouldn't have trusted the assembly to China … Yes, this ATLANT M 7401-100 was not produced in Belarus.

Advantages

• Simplest management;
• Not very high power consumption;
• Compact dimensions;
• Only 30 kg weight;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Quiet work;
• Low cost;
• Corresponds to two climatic classes.

disadvantages

• Small volume of the freezer;
• Short-term autonomous preservation of cold;
• Minimum freezing capacity;
• Manual defrosting.

NORD DF 159 WSP

Rating: 4.5

Another compact freezer rounds off our selection. Its height is already 90 cm – a little more than the generally accepted standard. The door opens in a traditional way and requires almost no effort. Behind it is a 115 liter freezer. The entire space is divided into three shelves, which house drawers made of transparent plastic. The door can be moved. However, in the case of a compact freezer, this is not very relevant. It seems that you will find a place for him where the door does not interfere at all.

This model has received a quiet compressor. Measurements have shown that the noise level does not even reach 38 dB. It uses isobutane as a refrigerant, nothing unusual awaits you here. With regard to energy consumption, it is 190 kWh per year of operation, which corresponds to class A +.

The simplest electromechanical control is used here. You will remember about it only at the moment when manual defrosting is required. But this process will only be needed after a very long service life. You can also note the presence of an antibacterial coating here.

Unfortunately, the rest of the specifications are not indicated by the manufacturer. Yes, the device weighs 35.5 kg. But this is not so important for us. We would like to know how long it stays cold if the electricity is turned off. And what climate classes does this refrigerator correspond to?

If you read the reviews, then only positive impressions are added. This is an excellent freezer that practically does not make noise, and even allows you to put something on yourself. In short, this is the best option for the home. It seems that you will not regret such a purchase. The only pity is that the production of this model has been discontinued, so it is quite difficult to find it in Russian retail chains.

Advantages

• Decent freezer volume;
• Easy to learn control;
• Extremely low power consumption;
• There is an antibacterial coating;
• The door can be outweighed;
• Very low noise level;
• Small size and weight;
• Affordable cost.

disadvantages

• Manual defrosting;
• There is no temperature indication;
• Does not signal an open door.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best freezers. In this article, we talked about both compact freezers and fairly large models. In a word, now you can easily find a suitable model for yourself. It remains only to decide how much you are willing to spend.
