I vote for a refrigerator with a drip defrost system
By purchasing large-sized household appliances, we count on a long service life. Therefore, I approached the choice of the refrigerator seriously. I analyzed the work of the old refrigerator, asked my acquaintances and friends, asked the all-knowing Internet. Based on the results of the investigation, I chose the ATLANT XM 4012-022 refrigerator.
The world rests on the shoulders of Atlanta
Belarusian technology is associated with the USSR Gostovka products. Reliable for centuries. Atlas has been confirming this truth for 3 years. During the work, there were no complaints. He's just doing his job quietly.
The freezer with a volume of 100 liters is located at the bottom and it is convenient for me. Two drawers and one shelf fully cover the needs of our family. Only the shelf lid could not withstand the load and broke.
The refrigerator compartment provides 200 liters of usable volume. Two drawers for vegetables and fruits, 4 glass shelves with adjustable height and a bunch of small shelves for all occasions on the door.
Drip system or no frost
The old fridge had the vaunted know frost system and I didn't like it. The system itself took up a lot of space. And after a while, something began to freeze there, the fan clinging to the ice, a hum appeared. I had to disassemble and defrost. They called the master. He examined and issued such an invoice that we decided to buy a new refrigerator.
We chose Atlant with a drip system. There, in principle, there is nothing to break. And three years of operation are proof of this. There is one drawback. In summer, in the heat, when the temperature regulator (by the way, a simple mechanical one) is set to maximum, a decent layer of ice freezes on the back wall. Then it somehow abruptly melts and, not having time, evaporates, flows out into a beautiful puddle in front of the refrigerator. Unpleasant, but tolerant.
But it works very quietly, almost inaudible. And the need to defrost the freezer compartment every six months, I do not consider a disadvantage. It's not hard, and sometimes it is useful to do revision.
My choice is Atlant with a drip system, what did you choose?
