11 best built-in refrigerators

With the advent of embedded technology, the reorganization of the kitchen has become a simple task even for a non-professional. Now, in order for the refrigerator to perfectly fit into the interior, you do not need to waste precious time choosing colors and styles - just select the unit with the necessary technical parameters and hide it behind a beautiful furniture facade. 

However, embedded devices are structurally different from detached, and in order not to have to subsequently leave negative reviews about, in general, a good idea, it is better to deal with the subtleties of choice in advance and determine the brands of positively reputable manufacturers. 

First, we recommend paying attention to the built-in refrigerators with the defrosting system “Know frost"In both chambers. Such devices, when cleared by themselves, do not require periodic defrosting, and this allows in the future to avoid problems with the accidental ingress of moisture on wooden surfaces. 

Secondly, it is extremely important to select in advance the optimal place for the installation, correctly measure the future niche and in accordance with them decide on the dimensions of the device itself. At the same stage it is necessary to correlate the useful volume of the chambers (if there are several of them) with the quantity of food stocks needed to meet family needs. 

Here are some more important questions that should be answered in order to successfully select the unit: 

• which type of built-in refrigerators is more appropriate for the intended purpose - monofunctional (single-chamber), classic two-chamber (with a lower or upper location of the freezer) or side-by-sidewhen the freezer and refrigerator are placed side by side and built into one cabinet;
• what principle of fastening the front panels on the refrigerator door seems to be the most convenient and rational - sliding (the facade is hung on the hinges and turns into an additional door) or hard (the facade does not have separate hinges and is mounted directly on the device door);
• Do you need additional options such as "Protection against children", "Vacation", "Open door indication", "Anti-bacterial coating", etc.

If you summarize, you get a quite clear description of the desired refrigerator, with which you can already make a responsible purchase. It remains only to highlight the favorites among manufacturers, and this is guaranteed to help the rating of the 11 best built-in refrigerators, compiled on the analysis of reviews and technical characteristics.

3 Maunfeld MBF 177NFW

The Italian brand Maunfeld is not as popular in the Russian market as, for example, Bosch or Indesit, and it is possible, therefore, that it tries to stand out due to high-quality products and favorable offers to customers.

In the freezer installed system "Knowfrost", While the refrigeration compartment is defrosted by droplet principle. The internal microclimate is monitored by temperature sensors, and in standalone mode, the refrigerator is able to keep cold for 13 hours.

Best built-in side-by-side refrigerators
