When making a choice in favor of purchasing ultra-modern home refrigeration equipment intended for integration into a kitchen set, the consumer prefers to solve two age-old problems at once. Based on the rating of built-in refrigerators for quality and reliability, the consumer gives preference to the harmony of the equipment with the interior and wants to minimize the noise effects from operating components, including the compressor and other elements.

What indicators indicate a high rating for built-in refrigerators?

There are a number of criteria that are used to form a unified rating of built-in refrigerators in terms of quality and reliability. Both domestic and foreign models of equipment are taken for analysis.

1. Energy consumption class, type and number of compressors. The two indicators are interconnected and directly depend on design decisions. The most economical energy efficiency class is recognized to be marked from A+ to A+++. There are refrigerators on sale with both one and two compressors. In the latter case, the service life will be 1.5-2.0 times longer.
2. Noise level and type of defrosting. Effective control of home appliances will depend on the noise level. The optimal option is considered to be up to 42 dB (A).A number of models have universal casing that reduces noise levels by up to 10 dB. The drip defrosting option is the most popular among consumers. But there are models where buyers also choose the borderline defrosting option with an automatic drip system.
3. Electronics and electromechanics. The best option would be electronic control, where equipment settings can be made from a smartphone. For those who prefer a classic tuning scheme, the choice remains with electromechanical control.
4. Fresh zone and freezer. Modern models have the Full No Frost option, which is designed to create the required zones of freshness and freezing inside the chamber.

Optional solutions for refrigerators

The quality and rating of refrigeration equipment will also depend on additional optional solutions. The presence of the following options increases the rating of built-in household appliances:

• autonomous defrosting technology;
• forced airflow;
• antibacterial and antifungal treatment;
• duration of storage of products;
• remote control, etc.

The presence of most additional options increases the rating of built-in refrigerators.

Which models have a high popularity rating?

The list of popularity of built-in refrigeration equipment includes both European and Asian manufacturers. In many market services you can see customer reviews and recommendations.

Popular brands are recognized today.

2. Bosch. German quality is known to many buyers, and the presence of an Austrian Secop compressor only increases confidence in these household appliances.
3. Beko.The Turkish manufacturer produces economy-class equipment, which consists entirely of reliable components produced exclusively in the territory of the Republic of Turkey.
4. Weissgauff. The Chinese manufacturer has proven to the world that it can easily compete with European models. As an effective solution, it was decided to install modern models of Jiaxipera compressors, which have ultra-modern control characteristics.

Each manufacturer is proud of its brand, but to get into the rating, it is necessary to prove in practice how household appliances work and how popular the equipment is with consumers.
