9 best inverter refrigerators

Kitchen Product Ratings

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.

Do you have a very large sum of money at your disposal? Isn't it time in this case to think about replacing the refrigerator? Why not take a more advanced model equipped with an inverter motor? Such a device will delight you with an ideal temperature setting in all its compartments, as well as a minimum noise level. Let's take a look at the best inverter refrigerators available in Russian retail.

Selection recommendations

First, let's define how exactly an inverter refrigerator differs from any other. To do this, let's remember what compressors are now used in refrigerators and freezers:

  1. Conventional – such an electric motor works with a rotating piston pump. Now such a compressor is practically forgotten; it was found in refrigerators of the 20th century.
  2. Linear – instead of an electric motor, an electromagnetic coil is used, in the core of which there is a pump piston. The absence of rotating parts reduces energy consumption, reduces noise and makes construction less expensive. But such a compressor does not imply special adjustments – it works exclusively at 100% power.
  3. Inverter – such a compressor has an electric motor with a pump, but it allows you to adjust the shaft speed. This significantly increases the life of the compressor, because it does not have to constantly operate at 100% capacity, and it also does not imply sudden on and off switching. The disadvantage of an inverter compressor is the shaft rotation control board, which costs a lot of money.
  4. Linear inverter – such a compressor is devoid of an electric motor. At the same time, it does not have those disadvantages that are inherent in a linear compressor. It is the quietest and most economical – nothing better has yet been invented.

As for the disadvantages of inverter and linear-inverter compressors, there are only two of them:

  1. Very high cost – in this regard, it is unlikely that you can find a refrigerator equipped with such a compressor for very little money;
  2. Sensitivity to voltage surges – if this problem occurs quite often in your home, then it is better to additionally acquire protective equipment. However, some refrigerators already have it, not being particularly afraid of sudden voltage drops – when it occurs, the device will simply go into standby mode.

As for the choice of an inverter refrigerator, it depends on your preference. If your family consists of four to five people, then you will need a Side-by-Side model. Also, be sure to focus on the volume of the freezer – it will seem more important to meat lovers than the refrigerator. You can also think about the level of energy consumption. However, it mostly depends on the volume of the refrigerator – it is logical that a particularly large device will require large energy consumption.

However, you can ignore the characteristics of inverter refrigerators. Instead, you just need to choose one of the models that are discussed in this review. But we recommend that you additionally read the reviews and reviews of the copy you like – it is possible that you will learn something new from them. The review is based on an analysis of the technical characteristics of refrigerators at https://rankquality.com/fridge-freezer/.

Vestfrost VF 910 X

Rating: 4.9

VESTFROST VF 910 X.jpg

Our selection opens with a huge and stylish Side-by-Side refrigerator. It will definitely become a decoration of the kitchen if it has a modern interior. However, it should be noted that it will require a considerable amount of space to install it. This is why the Vestfrost VF 910 X is mainly bought by those who live in separate houses. It is absolutely impossible to present this model in Khrushchev.

In total, the refrigerator includes three chambers. They are closed by four doors. On one of them you can see the LCD display, which is used for control. Two compressors allow you to adjust the temperature in every possible way in almost all compartments. All this makes us hope that fruits and vegetables will be stored here for a long time, keeping fresh.

We warn you right away that this model will definitely affect your electricity bills. Despite the energy class A +, the unit will consume 481 kWh every year. Well, what else did you expect from such a huge refrigerator? But on the other hand, you do not have to regularly defrost, because all branches present here have support for No Frost technology. It is also impossible not to note the very tight fit of the doors to the body. Although there is still no reason to hope for a record cold preservation during a power outage – it does not exceed 13 hours.

This refrigerator has a ton of different settings. In particular, the 'Vacation' mode is available here. Choosing it, you let the device understand that in the coming days its doors will not open, and therefore it can reduce its energy appetites. By the way, in the maximum operating mode, it is capable of freezing up to 18 kg per day. The temperature in the freezer will drop to a fantastic -24 ° C.

Of course, this model could not do without the already familiar functions. For example, it signals an open door with a sound. There is also an antibacterial coating here, which does not surprise anyone either. As for the shelves, they are made of glass. Coming back to the compressors present here, they are quite quiet. Measurements near the refrigerator show that the noise level does not exceed 45 dB. The weight of the device is also impressive. She is 147.5 kg! With the placement of such a monster in the kitchen, problems may arise – it will take not even two, but three people!

Advantages

  • The volume of the refrigerating chamber reaches 410 liters;
  • The freezer volume is 210 liters;
  • A large number of cameras and doors;
  • Low noise level;
  • There is an antibacterial coating;
  • Convenient electronic control;
  • Implemented support for No Frost technology;
  • There is a 'Vacation' mode;
  • Very high freezing power;
  • There is a temperature indication;
  • The body is made of stainless steel.

disadvantages

  • Very heavy weight;
  • High power consumption;
  • Scary high cost.

Liebherr CNef 4815

Rating: 4.8

LIEBHERR CNEF 4815.jpg

If above we considered a refrigerator for families consisting of a huge number of people, then the Liebherr CNef 4815 is a more standard option. There is one refrigerating and one freezing chamber here, as well as a single compressor. As you already understood, the latter is made using inverter technology. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the refrigerator consumes only 174 kWh per year, which corresponds to the A ++ energy class. But this is the maximum parameter! Inverter technology allows the compressor to be reduced in power if the need arises, thereby reducing energy consumption.

What else can this handsome silvery man boast about? First, a foldable shelf. Now almost every refrigerator, the cost of which is above average, has it. In total, there are five shelves in the refrigerator compartment. The device also received a box for storing fruits. The freezer compartment has three drawers. In a word, in this regard, everything is familiar.

If we talk about the volume, then it is 361 liters. At the same time, 260 liters of this total volume fall on the refrigerating chamber. This is definitely enough to store a large amount of food and a couple of pots of soup. It is curious that the refrigerator is supplemented with sound and light indication. They signal not only about an open door and an increased temperature, but also about a power outage. By the way, in this case, the device is able to keep the cold inside for 24 hours. Great result!

As usual, the inverter compressor runs without much noise. The refrigerator emits only 38 dB, which makes it one of the quietest in our rating. There is nothing superfluous on its doors. However, this does not mean that temperature control will be unavailable – a modern display should be sought inside the device. The door can be opened without any difficulty, since it uses a handle with a pusher.

It remains to add that this model supports the No Frost technology, but only partially. Defrosting of the refrigerating chamber is carried out by a drip system. However, this is unlikely to scare anyone. Although we will not argue with the fact that for 65 thousand rubles I would like to get a little more.

Finally, we note that the weight of the refrigerator is 80.7 kg. Not a record, but this 201-centimeter device cannot be called easy either.

Advantages

  • Very low noise level;
  • There is a folding shelf;
  • Low power consumption;
  • A pusher handle is used;
  • Long-term autonomous preservation of cold;
  • High freezing power;
  • Light and sound indication has been implemented;
  • Large volume of refrigerating and freezing chambers;
  • Reliable glass shelves;
  • Detailed control implemented.

disadvantages

  • No Frost technology is implemented only in the freezer;
  • High price.

Siemens KG39NAI31R

Rating: 4.7

SIEMENS KG39NAI31R.jpg

Another very large refrigerator, which is still far from the records. Its height is 203 cm. It consists of refrigerating and freezing chambers. The volume of the first is 279 liters, which will be enough for the vast majority of buyers. But this cannot be said about the freezer, since its volume does not exceed 87 liters. However, this parameter will seem sufficient to many.

The body of this model is made of silver painted metal. An LCD display can be seen on the top door. It displays the temperature that is currently observed in all departments. The inverter compressor allows you to easily change the temperature by lowering or increasing it. The refrigerator complies with the A ++ energy class. At maximum operating mode, it will consume approximately 248 kWh per year. If you switch the device to the 'Vacation' mode, then the power consumption will noticeably decrease – the refrigerator will know that its doors will not open for several days. By the way, if you completely disconnect the device from the mains, the cold inside will persist for 16 hours.

It should be noted that the compressor used here is quite powerful. This is evidenced by the possibility of freezing up to 15 kg per day. Achievement of this parameter is possible by activating the 'Super freeze' mode. If suddenly an elevated temperature begins to be observed inside one of the chambers, the refrigerator will notify about this with light and sound indications. It should be noted that Siemens KG39NAI31R does not require defrosting – both of its cameras support No Frost technology.

Otherwise, this is a typical inverter refrigerator. The noise level emitted by it barely reaches 39 dB. The weight of the appliance is 85 kg – such tall refrigerators are almost never lighter. As expected, the possibility of hanging the doors is available here. Nothing bad can be said about the shelves made of glass. By the way, there is a freshness zone designed for long-term storage of vegetables and fruits.

Advantages

  • Very low noise level;
  • Good roominess;
  • Not very high power consumption;
  • No Frost technology is supported;
  • Convenient temperature control;
  • There is a 'Vacation' mode;
  • Sound and light indication has been implemented;
  • High freezing capacity.

disadvantages

  • High price;
  • Buttons are not always responsive.

Samsung RB-37 J5200WW

Rating: 4.7

SAMSUNG RB-37 J5200WW.jpg

Most refrigerators on sale now have a white finish. A model called Samsung RB-37 J5200WW can also boast of it. This device will find its place in ordinary kitchens, the interior of which is not replete with any unusual elements.

The height of this refrigerator is 201 cm. This parameter allows you to understand that the South Korean creation is very roomy. Indeed, the volume of the refrigerator compartment reaches an impressive 269 liters. It seems that this will not be enough only for families in which a large number of children live – they are recommended to buy some larger monster. Nothing bad can be said about the freezer – its volume is 98 liters.

You may notice that this is far from the most expensive refrigerator in our selection. In this regard, it is easy to guess that the device has received certain simplifications. For example, the manufacturer did not seek the lowest power consumption – he was satisfied with the A + class. More precisely, the refrigerator will consume 314 kWh every year.

Most of all, this model will appeal to lovers of fruits and vegetables. The fact is that there are two spacious drawers for their storage! As for the freezer, it includes three transparent drawers. It's nice that neither of the compartments needs defrosting – both cameras support No Frost technology. Also, the device is able to boast of a long preservation of cold during a power outage – the creators announced 18 hours.

The inverter compressor allows you to regulate the temperature inside this refrigerator in every possible way. The current parameters are shown on the display located on the upper door. Also, this model allows you to use the 'Vacation' mode, which significantly reduces power consumption. Perhaps, here you can find fault only with the power of freezing. However, even 12 kg / day is a completely satisfactory parameter for most buyers. It should be noted that the inverter compressor also affected the noise level. It does not exceed 38 dB.

Advantages

  • Convenient management;
  • Good roominess;
  • Very low noise level;
  • There is a 'Vacation' mode;
  • Long-term autonomous preservation of cold;
  • No Frost technology is supported.

disadvantages

  • Some examples are too noisy;
  • Shelves feel flimsy;
  • Lighting is located only at the top;
  • Few means of indicating problems.

Whirlpool WTNF 923 W

Rating: 4.7

WHIRLPOOL WTNF 923 W.jpg

Another refrigerator, the body of which is painted white. There is also a simple LCD display on the top door. Unlike the instance discussed above, the Whirlpool WTNF 923 W provides two zones of freshness: dry and wet. This means that the refrigerator won't dry the fruit if you don't need it.

Another difference from the South Korean model is the reduced power consumption – this device complies with the A ++ class. In just a year, the refrigerator will consume 244 kWh. And then only if you activate the maximum settings when the temperature in the freezer goes down to -24 ° C. It is curious that, at the same time, the freezing capacity of this model still cannot be called high – it does not exceed 9 kg / day.

This two-meter specimen is capable of boasting support for No Frost technology. This applies to both refrigerating and freezing chambers. If the electricity suddenly goes out, the cold inside should remain for about 13 hours. This model also has a sound indication – it signals a long door opening.

The total volume of this refrigerator is 366 liters. At the same time, 21 liters were allocated to the freshness zone. As for the volume of the refrigerating chamber, it reaches 247 liters. It seems that this may even be enough for a family of three. If we talk about the freezer, then its volume is 75 liters; there are three shelves for storing food.

Otherwise, this is a familiar inverter refrigerator, which is far from all kinds of records. It is moderately noisy – measurements near it almost never show a parameter higher than 40 dB. Also, this model cannot be called particularly heavy – its weight is 69 kg. The possibility of re-hanging the doors has not been forgotten here either. Also, the American manufacturer is generous with antibacterial coating.

Advantages

  • The freshness zone can be dry and wet;
  • No Frost technology is supported;
  • Long enough autonomous cold preservation;
  • There is an antibacterial coating;
  • Large capacity;
  • Not very high noise level.

disadvantages

  • Some instances have build problems;
  • Some of the specimens turned out to be too noisy.

Liebherr CN 4015

Rating: 4.6

LIEBHERR CN 4015.jpg

This refrigerator looks rustic. But this is only at first glance. In fact, it is technically superior to many competitors. To understand this, it is enough to open the top door. Behind it is a spacious refrigerating chamber with two transparent drawers in which fruit is supposed to be stored. The boxes located in the freezer are exactly the same transparent.

If you are interested in exact figures, then the volume of the refrigerator compartment is 269 liters. The freezer is not particularly small – its volume reaches 87 liters. In total, the device consumes 229 kWh of electricity per year. This corresponds to the A ++ class. At the same time, you can slightly reduce energy consumption by increasing the temperature in one or another compartment – this allows you to do the inverter compressor installed here.

The refrigerator has a large number of shelves, one of which is foldable. The doors here open without any difficulty, since they received a handle with a pusher. And this model also has support for No Frost technology! But only in the freezer. As for the refrigeration, it uses a drip defrosting system.

In short, this is a good refrigerator. It even allows you to find out exactly what temperature is currently observed in a particular compartment – you should watch it on the internal display. And the device is also capable of boasting a warranty period extended to two years. The possibility of hanging the doors has not been forgotten here either. As for the noise level, it usually does not exceed 39 dB. Perhaps, you can only find fault with the lack of a full-fledged zone of freshness. However, why is it needed if there is no No Frost technology that dries the air?

Advantages

  • The shelves are made of high-strength glass;
  • Excellent capacity for both chambers;
  • Not very high noise level;
  • The freezer supports No Frost technology;
  • A pusher handle is used;
  • There is a foldable shelf;
  • Convenient electronic control;
  • Not very high power consumption.

disadvantages

  • The refrigerator compartment does not support No Frost;
  • High price;
  • Not the best ergonomics of the door shelves.

LG GA-B419 SYGL

Rating: 4.5

LG GA-B419 SYGL.jpg

Basically, our rating consists of refrigerators, the body of which is painted in white or silver. LG GA-B419 SYGL is an exception to the rule. This model is beige, which sets it apart from its competitors. As for the insides, they are painted in the usual white color. Here you can find four shelves and one fruit drawer. If we talk about the freezer, then it consists of four transparent boxes. Too much for a 79-liter volume. There is a risk that something may not fit here. For example, a turkey carcass will first have to be cut into several parts.

The volume of the refrigerator compartment here is 223 liters. Again, not a record. It is easy to guess that this model is not the highest. Indeed, the height of the refrigerator is 190.7 cm. This means that even many children can reach the top shelf.

As befits models with an inverter compressor, electronic control is used here. If you use the appropriate mode, the refrigerator will be able to freeze up to 9.3 kg of food per day. At the same time, defrosting of this model is not required at all – both of its cameras support the No Frost technology. If the door remains open long enough, an alarm will sound. By the way, the doors can be re-hung here. This means that there will be no problems, no matter where you put this refrigerator – opening it will definitely be convenient. Also, nothing bad can be said about the operation of its compressor – the noise level will not exceed 39 dB.

Weight LG GA-B419 SYGL is 66 kg. Not bad. Especially with shelves made of durable glass.

South Koreans sell their creation for 30 thousand rubles, and sometimes even cheaper. In this regard, one should not expect advanced technologies from this model. For example, it lacks a foldable shelf that could make storing some products more convenient. There is also no antibacterial coating claimed here. However, the lack of a freshness zone is the most saddening thing. With the support of No Frost, it would not hurt. The egg grate also causes strange feelings – it is designed for only eight pieces. Well, some specimens suffer from increased noise levels – here you have to count on luck.

Advantages

  • Attractive design;
  • Low cost;
  • No Frost technology is supported;
  • There is a sound indication of an open door;
  • Good capacity of the refrigerating chamber;
  • The shelves are made of impact resistant glass;
  • Low noise level;
  • Easy customization.

disadvantages

  • There is no freshness zone;
  • Some specimens are noisier than others;
  • The egg rack is designed for 8 pieces;
  • I would have liked a more spacious fruit box.

Liebherr C 4025

Rating: 4.5

LIEBHERR C 4025.jpg

Another refrigerator from the famous German manufacturer. The height of this handsome man is 201.1 cm. This allows us to hope for excellent spaciousness. Indeed, the volume of the refrigerator compartment reaches an impressive 269 liters. As for the freezer, its volume is still far from the record. But 88 liters is also an impressive figure. It seems that many customers have never completely filled all three drawers in the freezer.

Returning to the refrigerator compartment, one cannot fail to note the temperature indication located in it. There are 5 shelves in total, all of them are made of impact-resistant glass. There is also a folding shelf here. It can be removed in the event that you suddenly need to place something especially large.

This must be one of the most energy efficient models in our ranking. It consumes only 219 kWh per year. This complies with the A ++ energy class. Therefore, buying a Liebherr C 4025 is a good way to save money. And this despite the fact that this refrigerator itself is relatively inexpensive.

Since there is an inverter compressor installed, the device is electronically controlled. Also, this model is capable of boasting a good seal fit. So good that during a power outage, the cold inside remains for more than a day! Also, nothing bad can be said about the freezing capacity, which is 12 kg / day (if you select the appropriate mode). As for the noise level, in most cases it does not exceed 38 dB.

This model also has disadvantages. Mostly people complain about the lack of support for the No Frost technology. The refrigerator compartment is a drip defrost system. The freezer requires manual defrosting. The frequency of this action depends on the climate zone in which you live.

An interesting feature of the Liebherr C 4025 is the ability to switch off the refrigerator compartment separately. But only her. Alas, the magnetic valve does not allow you to separately turn off the freezer – you will have to disconnect the entire device from the outlet.

Advantages

  • Very low power consumption;
  • Easy electronic control;
  • There is a folding shelf;
  • Very large capacity;
  • High quality glass shelves are used;
  • Long autonomous preservation of cold;
  • The refrigerator is not very noisy;
  • Long warranty period (2 years).

disadvantages

  • No Frost support;
  • Some examples have minor build problems.

Samsung RB-30 J3000WW

Rating: 4.4

SAMSUNG RB-30 J3000WW.jpg

One of the simplest refrigerators in our selection. Perhaps most of all, it differs from very cheap models only in an inverter compressor. However, he also has other positive features. First, both of its cameras support No Frost technology. Secondly, the cold won't go anywhere, even if there is no electricity for 18 hours. And the freezing power here is quite decent – when the Super Freeze mode is turned on, it is 13 kg / day.

This model complies with energy efficiency class A +. In just a year, the refrigerator will consume 272 kWh, which cannot be called an outrageous result, although, of course, it is not minimal. The volume of the refrigerating chamber here is 213 liters. You can immediately guess that the height of the device is far from the record one. Indeed, it is 178 cm. But such a refrigerator will not cause problems with its delivery to the kitchen – in particular, it should easily fit in a passenger elevator. In total, there are 4 shelves and 1 drawer in the refrigerator compartment. Alas, there is no folding shelf here. But with such a volume, it is not required.

As for the freezer, it is 98 liters. There is definitely a place in it even for a mountain of meat. Its entire space is divided into 3 boxes, which seems to be the most logical solution.

The doors of this refrigerator can be easily outweighed. The shelves are made of impact-resistant glass, which is good news. Well, one cannot fail to note the noise level not exceeding 40 dB. It remains to add that the weight of Samsung RB-30 J3000WW is 66.5 kg.

Well, what are the disadvantages of this model? Perhaps you can find fault with the lack of indication. Also, some copies received an overly loud compressor – here you are really lucky. Alas, there are a lot of such copies, so we recommend paying attention to this refrigerator only if you cannot afford to spend money on any of the other models reviewed in our review.

Advantages

  • Low cost;
  • Easy electronic control;
  • Excellent freezer capacity;
  • Implemented support for No Frost;
  • Very long autonomous cold preservation;
  • Decent freezing power;
  • Not very heavy.

disadvantages

  • Many specimens are very noisy;
  • Very small egg holder;
  • There is no way to rearrange the shelves.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best refrigerators with an inverter motor. Unfortunately, such devices are very expensive. But on the other hand, they are able to boast not only a long service life, but also quiet operation. And it is in such refrigerators that the longest preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables is observed.
