Organization of space wisely: TOP-5 built-in refrigerators

The classic "German" with three chambers and a freshness zone is what you need if you are looking for a built-in unit with simple push-button controls from a trusted brand. The total volume of the device is 245 liters, of which 209 are in the refrigerator compartment, the remaining 36 are in the freezer. There is one thing that will be unusual for fans of traditional technology - a small freezer is located inside the main refrigerator compartment, and to get to it, you must first open the main door, and then the door of the freezer itself. Such a mini freezer allows you to freeze only 2 kg of food per day. But, if you have minimal freezing needs, this will be enough.

Compact dimensions allow you to save space as much as possible when installing - the dimensions of the case are only 53.8x53.3x178.3 cm (WxDxH). At the same time, the model perfectly saves electricity, because. belongs to the A+ energy efficiency class, consuming only 251 kWh/year.

The "bonus" associated with freezing is the quick freezing function, which shocks the temperature of the food and allows you to store them for months.

If necessary, the doors are re-hung to the other side - install the unit as you like. But, unfortunately, users often complain about the quick breakage of hinges, which cost about $50.
