Disadvantages of No Frost refrigerators compared to conventional

• Less usable volume. The size of the chambers is reduced due to an additionally mounted ventilation system,
• Higher noise level. It cannot be said that significantly, but the noise of fans slightly increases this indicator (usually by 1-3 dB),
• More power consumption. In addition to the need to ensure the operation of the fans, small TENs are installed inside the case of No Frost refrigerators. These heaters provide “invisible” thawing of the icy evaporator behind the wall,
• Strange sounds inside the refrigerator. This is usually honestly warned by manufacturers in the instructions. This “Barabashka effect" is connected precisely with the process of automatic thawing. Sounds can be caused by dripping condensation or falling pieces of ice.

Benefits of having a No Frost system in the refrigerator

• Manual defrosting is not required, less care is required,
• There is no moisture on the inside of the refrigerator,
• Cold air is evenly distributed over all shelves and products cool faster
• Products do not freeze among themselves,
• In the freezer, products crystallize less and retain their properties better after defrosting.

Actually, the positive properties of the No Frost system far outweigh the possible disadvantages, which often simply become invisible or insignificant. But it is better to know about them in order to avoid surprises.

Which refrigerator with the No Frost system is better to buy?

The above categories are conditional, the place in the rating is determined on the basis of the popularity of a product according to the specified characteristics. But for each individual consumer, key selection parameters may vary.

Someone chooses first by price. And in our rating there is a section with inexpensive high-quality No Frost refrigerators from well-established manufacturers. It is worth noting that, in addition to the options presented in it, there are even more affordable refrigerators with the No Frost system. For example, from Indesit, Beko, Candy or domestic brands. Among them, one can really meet quite worthy specimens. The only pity is that the execution of these is usually also typically budget. The buyer sometimes, without realizing it, becomes a member of a peculiar lottery, when due to a desire to save money he may encounter problems caused by the mediocre build quality, cheap materials and components.

For someone, the more serious or even the maximum is important. functionalitystylish design, capacity and he is ready to pay for it. And in this case, you can safely recommend the above models of our rating, but it is not necessary to focus on them only. After all, there are still analogues in a different color, design or with slight changes in the configuration.

In general, a universal solution for each individual does not exist. Choose the refrigerator that is right for you - for the price, functionality, design - and use it for pleasure.

Briefly about No Frost Technology

“No Frost” system (from English- “without ice”, “without frost”) provides the production of cold without the formation of condensate products on the walls of the chamber, which could then become solid (to put it more simply, the system prevents the formation and accumulation of ice). This contributes to:

1. Multi-level ventilation of the chambers, which constantly drives air throughout the entire working volume. The best Nou Frost refrigerators are equipped with special vents even in the door, which additionally prevents the air from stagnating,
2. Separation of the evaporator from the cooling cells. Lack of contact with the chamber wall, by definition, does not allow moisture in the air to condense inside the working volume.

The only place where ice accumulates is the supply pipes of the cooling system, but they are still automatically released from it by turning on the heater. The resulting liquid flows into the drain pan allocated for it, and the cooling process itself starts from the very beginning, thus forming a closed cycle.

These refrigerators differ from each other in several respects: the type of construction (there are combined and full-fledged No Frost models), the method of air supply (for example, there are Super X-Flow, Dynamic Air Cooling, etc. systems, but the principle they have similar actions) and the maximum low temperature of the freezer.

However, the first criterion for the allocation of such devices on the market is dominant, so, they distinguish:

1. Combined (or “Frost Free”), which in their design combine the classic drip method of cooling the chambers and No Frost. Such devices have several advantages - for example, the products in the main chambers are not dehydrated, and the noise remains at the same low level.
2. Full versions of Nou Frost, Full No Frost. In this case, both the freezer and the main cells are cooled according to a single principle.

Comparing devices of one price segment, one cannot fail to notice that models that do not require defrosting are significantly smaller than drip devices, but at the same time budget No Frost refrigerators produce more noise due to a non-inverter compressor and spend more electricity. The compiled top fridge Nou Frost takes these features into account, therefore it does not include too noisy or too “greedy” versions.

Isobutane, which is an odorless, colorless gas, is used as a refrigerant in all of the devices described below: it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Its use additionally helps to reduce the noise level of the unit, since it is not necessary to create a lot of inlet pressure to pump it.

Currently, only tempered glass is the main material for shelves; it is almost impossible to find models without using it. The side faces have plastic linings that soften contact with the side surfaces of the refrigerators, and at the same time provide a quick reorganization of the working space of the chambers.

Best Budget No Frost Refrigerators

Such devices differ in size and, obviously, a lower class of energy consumption. Despite the general compactness, manufacturers often save on the installation of high-quality compressors (it’s clear that top models will cost a lot to the buyer), as well as the type of insulation materials, using, for example, hazardous substances for fire.

The devices of the budget segment are usually deprived of various additional functions (the possibility of ice generation, “holiday” mode, etc.).

All presented models have common advantages and disadvantages for the Nou Frost refrigerator. The advantages include:

• Unlike drip-type aggregates, where the temperature difference can reach 4-6 degrees, in the new models the air circulation system ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber.
• The no Frost system works both in the refrigerator and the freezer.
• This type of refrigerator does not require regular defrosting, so you can forget about the weekends spent on servicing the refrigerator.

• in comparison with units of a drop type, more massive dimensions. This is due to the features of the ventilation system.
• Air circulation requires efficient fan operation. And if the new models are almost silent, then after several years of operation, the unit can become noticeably louder. This is due both to the development of a natural resource and to the ingress of dust into the system.
• Increased power consumption. The presence of a compressor, fans, electronics provides increased energy consumption. Before buying, pay attention to the energy efficiency class. A frost class A + refrigerators are more expensive, but such an “investment” will pay off by reducing energy consumption,
• Cost. The use of innovative technologies always affects the final retail price. Moreover, such a refrigerator is much easier to operate than a drip type unit.

Drip refrigerators are a thing of the past. They can still be found on the market. But their only plus, in comparison with the two-chamber “Know Frost”, is the cost. A refrigerator is a household appliance that is bought for more than one year, therefore it is not customary to save on such things.
