top 10 cheapest refrigerators

A simple electromechanical model with a volume of 263 liters. The functionality is minimal, but due to the lack of complex electronics, the refrigerator is more reliable than its modern, more expensive counterparts. The main compartment is defrosted by a drip system, the freezer compartment is manually defrosted. The freezer is quite roomy - 72 liters, located below, which for many is an important criterion when choosing. The freezing power is not very high - about 2 kg of chilled products can be loaded into the freezer per day.

Many users believe that for such a cost it is difficult to find a more reliable option. The refrigerator is quiet, compact, looks modern, fits well into a small kitchen. Its main disadvantage is energy class B (401.50 kWh/year).

It is 280 liters, 252 of which are in the refrigerator compartment. There is really a lot of space inside - there are four shelves for food storage, two pull-out containers for vegetables and fruits, and there are also four small drawers on the door.

The shelves are made of tempered glass, which is scratch resistant and can withstand considerable weight. Many appreciated the special limiters on the edges, which do not allow flooding the lower tiers if some kind of liquid suddenly spills.

The refrigerator cools food quickly and can even freeze food in the freezer compartment on top, although the manufacturer says it's not designed for that. The lack of a full-fledged freezer, of course, is a big minus, so the option is not suitable for everyone. Also in the reviews they note that when the compressor is turned on and off, the device makes rather loud sounds, so putting the unit in the bedroom is not a good idea.

ATLANT X 1401-100 is the most compact refrigerator in the ranking. The dimensions of the device are 48x44.5x85 cm, so it can be placed under the countertop or used as an additional shelf in a small kitchen. A big plus of this model is drip defrosting.

The case is made of reliable metal, which can withstand sudden changes in temperature and high humidity. Containers and shelves are made of solid plastic, designed for heavy loads. Refrigerator "DON R 405" wins in many respects. With small dimensions, it is one of the most capacious on the market. Also a big plus is a full-size freezer, which is rare for such miniature units.

The reviews note that the device is no different from full-fledged models. It works for a long time and without breakdowns, nothing flows, does not become loose and does not peel off.

Despite the fact that the model belongs to the category of cheap, it is equipped with a modern motor that consumes little electricity. However, it was not without drawbacks. Many buyers complain that there are often problems with the freezer. The door freezes heavily around the perimeter and cannot be opened without defrosting the device. By the way, this will have to be done manually, since the technology of Know Frost is, unfortunately, not provided here. Also, reviews often write that the device is quite noisy, so putting it in the bedroom is not an option.
