A refrigerator is an indispensable item in everyday life. Without it, storing perishable food is almost impossible. You can buy a good refrigerator even on a limited budget. For a very affordable price, you can find a refrigerator of a well-known trusted brand.

Budget models usually have a smaller volume and are not equipped with many additional options. The automatic defrosting function of Know Frost is extremely rare in them, but there are still exceptions. To make it easier for you to choose and buy a good refrigerator, check out the small rating that we have compiled based on user reviews.

Rating of the cheapest refrigerators

5 ATLANT XM 4208-000

One of the most popular budget models. The electromechanical refrigerator is equipped with a drip evaporator in the refrigerator compartment. This option is not available for the freezer. Electricity consumption is small - class A. The noise level is very low for a cheap model - no more than 43 dB. The total volume of the refrigerator is 173 liters. Pay attention to the climatic class N - it can be operated in rooms from +16 to 32˚С.

4 Turquoise 6

This is a full-size refrigerator with a small freezer. In terms of total volume, the Biryusa 6 model surpasses all the participants in the rating. It is 280 liters, 252 of which are in the refrigerator compartment. There is really a lot of space inside - there are four shelves for storing food, two pull-out containers for vegetables and fruits, and there are also four small drawers on the door.

The shelves are made of tempered glass, which is scratch-resistant and can withstand a lot of weight. Many people appreciated the special restraints on the edges, which do not allow flooding the lower tiers, if any liquid suddenly spills. Unlike cheaper models, there is a light indication that will inform you that the refrigerator door is not closed tightly. Like most units in the selection, defrosting will have to be done manually, and buyers complain that this has to be done quite often.

3 BBK RF-098

Unlike most models in the rating, the BBK RF-098 refrigerator is two-chamber, which gives certain advantages. A separate freezer door allows you to maintain an optimal temperature inside, which is much more energy efficient. Also, according to user reviews, this design is simply more convenient and functional. At the same time, the capacity of the device is decent: for the refrigerating chamber - 65 liters, for the freezer - 33 liters.

2 ATLANT X 1401-100

ATLANT X 1401-100 is the most compact refrigerator in the rating. The device measures 48 × 44.5 × 85 cm, so it can be placed under a worktop or used as an additional shelf in a small kitchen. A big plus of this model is drip defrosting. This technology is often used in budget devices. Of course, this is not the Know Frost system, but in general it is close to it.

The Atlant model is the best option if you want to buy an additional inexpensive refrigerator for your home. The device is very energy efficient and will not become a source of new costs - the consumption level is no more than 112 kWh / year. In addition, the device is quite spacious, and for convenience there are three drawers for groceries. The unit could be called ideal, if not for one significant drawback - there is only a refrigeration compartment. If you also need an extra freezer, then this option will not work for you.

1 NORDFROST NR 403 AW

This is the most budget-friendly refrigerator in the ranking. The price is due to the lack of additional features, and not the poor quality of materials. According to customer reviews, the device is soundly assembled, and parts of the structure are made of durable metal and plastic, which makes the model very reliable and durable.

Of the advantages, they usually distinguish spaciousness - the total volume is 111 liters, quiet operation - the noise level here is only 38 dB, as well as high energy efficiency - the consumption does not exceed 119 kWh / year. Users note that such a unit can be bought for a summer residence or used at home as an additional place for storing and freezing food. The functionality of the device is very limited - there is no backlight, a container for vegetables and fruits, a display with a temperature indication. The Nordfrost refrigerator is a good solution if you need a cheap but quiet and energy efficient appliance without any extra tricky things.
