The best single-chamber refrigerators Biryusa

Let's start our review with single-chamber refrigerators of this brand and immediately make a clarification. A single-compartment refrigerator does not necessarily imply no freezer, as a significant percentage of potential consumers mistakenly believe. The freezer may well be, only it is placed directly in the refrigerator compartment and does not have a separate external door, only an internal one. The main advantage of such refrigerators is their mostly compact size. All of them are significantly lower than the height of an adult and allow you to place anything else on top that is not prohibited by operating conditions.

Our experts offer for consideration three notable models of single-door refrigerators of this brand. Their common characteristics are as follows:

1. the body is made of metal and plastic with a predominantly white or silver metallic coating;
2. extremely laconic classic design;
3. top location of the freezer;
4. electromechanical controls;
5. the carrier of the cooling function is isobutane (R600a);
6. one compressor, one insulated chamber, one outer door;
7. defrosting the freezer – manually, the refrigerating chamber – drip;
8. no ice maker provided;
9. the ability to re-hang the door leaf to the opposite side.

Turquoise 237

Rating: 4.8

The first number in the group of single-chamber refrigerators Biryusa is a model with a simple serial number 237. Recommended for operation in more northern latitudes (climatic class 'N').

The dimensions of the unit without packaging are 1450x600x625 mm, in the package (this may be important during transportation) – 1520x660x690 mm. Weighs 55 kg. The shelves are made of tempered glass, other accessories are plastic.

The nominal power consumption of the power grid is 70 W. When the ambient temperature is no more than 25 degrees above zero, the daily energy consumption is about 0.79 kWh. The noise level does not exceed 41 dB, with 'A' correction (correction for the peculiarities of human hearing) – no more than 39 dB.

The total volume of the internal space (gross) is 275 liters, of which 35 liters are in the freezer compartment, and 240 liters in the refrigerator compartment, respectively. Meets energy efficiency standard 'A' with an annual energy consumption of about 285 kWh.

The intensity of freezing in the freezer compartment is at least 2.5 kg in 24 hours. In this case, the minimum temperature that the compartment develops is -18 ° C. The design, thermal insulation and a number of accessories allow the freezer to keep cold for a long time when the power is cut off – it takes at least 13 hours to increase the temperature from the minimum -18 ° C to the 'unwanted' -9 ° C. In the fresh food compartments of the refrigerator compartment, the temperature ranges from 0 to 8 ° C.

The manufacturer's warranty for this model is three years.
