Refrigerator, freezer test

57 combined refrigerators and 10 freezers were tested by the Conscious Consumers' Association, together with international consumer protection organizations. So, with the products tested earlier, a total of 167 product data sheets (20 brands) help customers buy refrigerators.

In the laboratory, it was studied how quickly the products were cooled or cooled. freeze the food; how well the internal temperature is maintained when the kitchen is overheated; in the event of power outages, how long does the food remain frozen? how loud and what the power consumption of the devices is.

In the most common 150-250 liter size category, 15 combined coolers performed well since they received at least 75% of all criteria. Among the best are Bosch, Gorenje, LG, Liebherr, Miele and Whirpool. It makes it difficult for buyers to decide that multiple brands are having poorer products, so it's hard to decide on a brand basis. It is an interesting achievement that the 150-200 thousand HUF devices also bring the quality that their half-million counterparts.

The advantage of the list-leading devices is that they are cooled relatively quickly, freeze and keep the internal temperature stable, even when the kitchen is overheated. Also, they say that they are all in A ++ or A +++, so they consume less electricity. For decision-making considerations, it is worth focusing on the energy class, as between a class of energy (eg A +++ and A ++), with the same parameter, there may be an average difference of between 20-25%.

For freezers, it is important that food frozen for a longer period does not melt in the event of power outages. It's good news that the cooler coolers tested in the test keep the optimum internal temperature for even the weakest products for at least 10 hours in the event of power outages, and the best for up to 16 to 20 hours.

At the end of the list, the combination refrigerators at the end of the list are clearly the cheaper 80-100 thousand HUF devices, which are relatively cooler, freeze food and energy savers.

The majority of the freezer cabinets and freezer cabinets (not refrigerated) in the test were 200-300 liters, each of which was relatively good on the test, were not abnormally weak. Among the top-of-the-line products there are 170 and nearly 400,000 HUF devices, so it is not worth merely choosing the price.

Freezers and freezers in the test are more insulated than the freezer part of the combined refrigerators. Most appliances hold up to an optimal internal temperature for up to 20-24 hours even when power is cut off.
