Narrow models of refrigerators

Placing home appliances in a small kitchen is quite a difficult operation, requiring a lot of effort and patience. Owners solve this problem in different ways, but one of the best options is to use compact equipment, including a narrow refrigerator.

To minimize the volume occupied by the refrigerator, the developers reduce one of the values ​​of its dimensions. In most cases, this is the width, since it is the one that plays the main role in placing the structure in the kitchen. The size of the narrow models differ only by a few centimeters, which is enough to save space.

Such a refrigerator is technically no different from the usual system, as it is equipped with all the necessary functionality. The narrow models are produced by several well-known manufacturers:

• Ardo;
• Liebherr;
• Samsung;
• LG;
• Beko;
• Bosch;
• "Saratov";
• Atlant.

Among all these brands should highlight the company's products. Samsung. It produces a wide range of narrow freezer refrigerators. Their width can vary from 45 to 55 cm. The units are equipped with modern functions that allow to preserve the freshness of products for a long time.

To understand how convenient narrow refrigerators are, you should compare them with stationary models:

1. Spaciousness. The volume of the chambers of a standard refrigerator is much larger than its narrow counterpart. This allows you to conveniently arrange all the products without worrying about the place. In turn, small devices are perfect for small families. They can be used as ordinary units, and as mini-bars.
2. Functional. Narrow models are manufactured using the same technology as all other modifications. There are both single-chamber and two-chamber systems, equipped with a drip system or "No Frost" defrost.
3. Design. Refrigerators are designed by modern designers who create convenient systems. The color of the units varies and here you can find both classic white and nice beige models.

The company manufactures products under several brands. Refrigerators differ in reliability and high-quality assembly. A prominent representative of the narrow models is Ardo CO 1410 SA. The device differs in such technical characteristics:

1. The width of the case is only 50 cm, whereas height and depth are 166 cm and 57.5 cm, respectively. This model is one of the smallest two-chamber systems.
2. The volume of the refrigerator compartment is 144 liters, and the freezer takes 97 liters. This is quite enough for a small family.Here you can store both fresh produce and stock up on a minimum amount of frozen fruit for the winter.
3. The unit is equipped with one compressor, chasing the environmentally friendly refrigerant R600A, which has virtually no effect on the ozone ball.
4. The refrigerator has electronic control. This allows you to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator within one degree. Defrosting of this compartment is carried out by drip. As for the freezer, it must be defrosted manually.
5. The kit includes two metal shelf-lattice, shelf for meat (plastic) and several drawers.

You should pay attention to another representative of the brand - Ardo CO 1804 SA. The refrigerator differs in even smaller dimensions. The total capacity of the chambers is 218 liters, among which 178 liters occupy the refrigerating compartment and only 40 - the freezer. The model is only suitable for one person. The unit is able to keep cold without electricity for 10 hours.

• Company Samsung is the leader in the production of this household appliances. Among its products there are both large multi-door systems and small units.I especially want to highlight such a modification as Samsung RL-17 MBSW. This device is characterized by such features:

1. The case width is only 45 cm. This model is one of the narrowest in this manufacturer. The unit also has a depth of only 54 cm. The height of the refrigerator reaches 154 cm.
2. The effective volume of the chambers is 155 liters, of which the refrigeration compartment takes 100 liters, and the freezer - 55 liters.
3. Functional standard. The refrigerator is equipped with an electromechanical control system, several shelves made of shock-resistant glass. It should be noted that the box for storing vegetables is only one, since it makes no sense to separate it because of its small size. This compartment is equipped with a special function that maintains optimum humidity.

• Narrow refrigerators are also found in such a popular manufacturer as Liebherr. Among all the diversity should be divided into several models:

1. Liebherr CUP 3023. The unit is a two-chamber system.The volume of the freezer reaches 62 liters, and the refrigerated compartment takes 200 liters. The dimensions of the structure are 56 * 55 * 177 cm (w * g * c), respectively. Defrosting of the compartments takes place with the help of a drip system (refrigerator), and the technology "No Frost". Freezing speed does not exceed 4 kg / day. Additional functionality is represented by the possibility of hanging the doors, an alarm for increasing the temperature (light or sound), the function of super-freezing, the indicator of the cooling level, etc.
2. Liebherr CUP 3011. The width of the refrigerator reaches only 55 cm, which makes it compact. The unit belongs to the A + energy class (299 kWh / year). The safe substance used is R600a. The total capacity of the refrigerator is 284 liters, among which the refrigerator compartment occupies 199 liters and the freezer 85 liters. The unit is able to freeze up to 7 kg of products per day. The disadvantage of the system is the need to manually defrost the freezer. The refrigerator compartment is cleaned by the drip system.
