Top 10 Side-by-Side Refrigerators

Manufacturers take into account the needs of consumers, so they are constantly developing new models of household appliances. The appearance of huge refrigerators with hinged doors in stores has become a real boon for buyers. Now you can not use a separate refrigerator and freezer to stock up for a larger supply of provisions. In Russian, Side-by-Side means "side by side." That is, the refrigerator and freezer are located vertically, next to each other.

The main reason why users think about purchasing a refrigerator of this type is an impressive size, reaching 800 liters. This is three times the volume of an average standard model refrigerator. Most Side-by-Side refrigerators have approximately the same set of options, but they differ not only in manufacturer and quality, but also in such parameters as energy efficiency and volume of work. To make it easier for you to make a choice, we have compiled a ranking of the best models.

Top 10 best side-by-side refrigerators

10 Hisense RC-67WS4SAS

Closes top Hisense RC-67WS4SAS. The model of a Chinese brand that has recently appeared in our country has already managed to earn a lot of positive feedback. Users like the appearance of the refrigerator, its internal structure, the presence of the ice maker.

In the reviews, they note low electricity consumption of about 411 kWh / year, good freezer operation, and the possibility of setting the intelligent cooling mode. It works no more than 43 dB, it is equipped with a convenient display. The only small minus - some are not satisfied with the work of the ice generator. Its assembly is of sufficient quality - a great option for those who are looking for a refrigerator with good characteristics, but do not want to overpay for the brand.

 

9 Candy CXSN 171 IXH

The main advantage of Candy CXSN 171 IXH is a very low price for a Side-by-Side refrigerator. At the same time, it is as roomy as similar models - its total volume is 503 liters, equipped with the Nou Frost option, it looks stylish and attractive. On the door there is a large and contrasting screen of settings, inside the cameras there is good lighting. Cooling is fast, with its direct purpose copes with "excellent". The compressor runs quietly, the maximum volume of the characteristics does not exceed 43 dB. There are no scratches and greasy fingerprints on the coating.

But there are also disadvantages - the organization of the internal space is not sufficiently thought out, there is no drawer in the middle zone, only one drawer is provided for vegetables and fruits. Many people write that the side walls are quite hot.

8 BEKO GN 163120 W

Inexpensive option from a fairly well-known brand. Of the features - capacity (total volume of 543 liters), wide pockets on the doors, in which even two-liter bottles fit without problems, very pleasant lighting in both compartments. Shelves can be rearranged to the desired level, changing the organization of the internal space at its discretion.

There are no excesses, in functionality it is slightly inferior to more expensive refrigerators.But the main criteria are met - high-quality assembly, rapid cooling and freezing. An additional advantage is the low cost. Of the shortcomings, many indicate poor door opening, but this problem is usually eliminated by adjustment.

7 Hitachi R-S702PU2GS

Functional model with a full range of useful options. Quickly cools and freezes foods. According to some users, products remain fresh even longer than their shelf life. In terms of capacity (605 liters), it is not inferior to most of the models reviewed, there are shelves in all doors, which saves internal space. Defrosting is fully automatic, there is an ice generator, a temperature indicator.

But the main advantage of the model, because of which we included it in the rating, is the minimum energy consumption for such a large-sized equipment (class A ++). The disadvantages include an unreasonably high cost. With similar specifications, options and quality, you can find a refrigerator two times cheaper.

6 Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22B4CW

Daewoo Electronics FRN-X22B4CW is popular with users because of its stylish design, beautiful chrome handles. It got to the rating due to quiet operation not exceeding 43 dB (in fact it seems even quieter), a large freezer with a volume of 240 liters, and a well-designed organization of the refrigeration compartment. Build quality is not bad, splitting plastic parts and other problems in the first years of use usually does not arise. Large volume (620 liters), suitable for large families and thrifty people.

Specifications are good, power consumption is moderate class A +, there are all necessary options. Some consider the presence of an average box, where it is convenient to put small products - cheese, sausage, to be a plus. Among the drawbacks can only be called an increase in the noise level when the system is turned on with No Frost - the sound is produced by working fans.

5 Samsung RSA1SHVB1

Very solid refrigerator - quality assembly, pleasant-looking and touch materials. The presence of only one compressor in the device is more considered as a positive characteristic - energy consumption for a large refrigerator is not very high, only 550 kWh / year (class A). The freezer is large, spacious, with a volume of 180 liters. Dimensions small for a side-by-side refrigerator (91.2x73.4x178.9 cm)therefore, it takes up slightly less space than most popular models.

According to the observations of users, the refrigerator very quickly gains the set temperature and keeps it at a stable level. Many people like the presence of the option "Vacation", which allows you to turn off the refrigerator during the absence, to reduce power consumption. Among the shortcomings - a very sensitive display. This is inconvenient in small kitchens, where you can inadvertently touch the display with your hand, which leads to reconfiguration of the operation mode or even shutdown.

4 Whirlpool WSC 5541 A + NX

We included this model in the top of the best refrigerators for two reasons. The first is a multi-stream cooling system, which ensures a rapid decrease in temperature and long-term preservation of products. The second is the technology to prevent the formation of frost on the walls. Also, Whirlpool refrigerators use a proprietary cold control system - the “sixth sense”. Thanks to her, the temperature is always maintained at the same level.

In reviews, users note the presence of a convenient LCD display, a cold water supply system with a built-in filter, thoughtful organization of the internal space, capacity - the useful volume of the refrigerator is 520 liters. Pleases excellent build quality and reliability. Of the minuses - the noise level reaches 45 dB, which is slightly higher with similar models, and when the ice maker is working, the refrigerator starts to make noise even more.

3 LG GC-B247 JVUV

A good fridge from a well-known and popular manufacturer. Specifically, this model is quite in demand because of the combination of good performance and low cost. Some consider it the best option in this price category. The model is one-compressor, automatic defrosting is provided according to the No Frost system, there is a large zone of freshness, the option of protection against children.

The volume of the refrigerator compartment is 394 liters (including the freshness zone), the freezer is 219 liters. The internal space is thought out, all products can be sorted, there is enough space for everything. The refrigerator is assembled on the basis of an inverter compressor, the noise level during operation does not exceed 41 dB. Despite this, in reviews, customers sometimes write about hands-free operation. This is due to the presence of fans - all models with Nou Frost have such a small drawback.

2 Vestfrost VF 395-1 SBW

Continuing our top Vestfrost VF 395-1 SBW - a powerful two-compressor model with electronic control. The functionality does not differ from most models of this category of refrigerators - automatic defrosting of both chambers, superfrost, supercooling. But all these already become standard functions are implemented extremely well, and the build quality is at a height. The refrigerator’s dimensions are quite large (120x63x186.8 cm), so the option should be considered for spacious kitchens. The total volume of the refrigerator is 618 liters. The electronic display shows temperature readings and set modes.

In positive reviews, users note the excellent performance of the refrigerator, its convenience, energy efficiency, despite its large size. Among the shortcomings, a slightly louder operation is distinguished when the super-freezing option is turned on and the high cost, which, however, is fully justified by the class and characteristics of the refrigerator.

1 Liebherr SBS 7212

The first place of the top is Liebherr SBS 7212. High-quality German refrigerator, consisting of two modules - refrigeration and freezing. They can be installed together or separately. The refrigerator is solidly made, high-quality materials are used for production. When a power outage long keeps the cold offline - up to 43 hours.

Among the benefits, users highlight the thoughtful organization of the internal space, which provides maximum capacity, convenient drawers in the freezer. There are almost no fingerprints on the surface. There are negative reviews, in which users point to the heavy opening of the door. But this is not a disadvantage, but a feature of the model, which you just need to get used to. Immediately after the refrigerator is closed, the doors stick in to minimize the loss of cold — in 30 seconds they will open with ease.
