From the very first refrigerators, only one thing was required — to continuously give cold and keep food fresh for as long as possible. Decades have passed, the main functions of the refrigerator have remained unchanged, but dozens of new options have been added. Moreover, in modern refrigerators, not only high technical characteristics are appreciated, but also interesting design solutions. What can impress us today with new models of refrigerators?
Refrigerator as an interior accessory
“Now refrigerators of bright shades are in fashion, decorated with fancy ornaments and drawings,” says designer Natalia Levitskaya. — They are suitable for any interior. Retro-style models look impressive in combination with chrome details. And for those who like to change the color of household appliances like gloves, light panels have been developed that are attached to the door. The design of the refrigerator sometimes breaks all the stereotypes and turns an ordinary household appliance into an artistic masterpiece. A refrigerator in the form of an old telephone booth or a wooden barrel will enliven the atmosphere in a retro or country style. Models in the form of cars will fit perfectly into the futuristic style. If you do not want to focus on the refrigerator at all, you can style it for other furniture, for example, a wardrobe or a chest of drawers.”
Some manufacturers offer to decorate the refrigerator doors with drawings of customers ‘ choice, and on models with glass facades, you can draw with markers or special crayons. The Japanese went even further and released completely transparent refrigerators on the market.
By the way, even an ordinary refrigerator can easily be turned into a design masterpiece with your own hands. Use stickers, airbrushing, art painting or decorative film. Photos of refrigerator design can be found on the Internet to get inspired and make it even better!
Transformers refrigerators
The best refrigerators are those that meet the expectations of customers. For those who are not satisfied with the size of standard models, transformer refrigerators were created. They can be built into any free space in the kitchen, according to individual sizes-under the window sill, in a niche in the wall or under the table. The buyer also has the right to choose the “filling” — the volume and location of the freezer, the presence of holders, the number of shelves and drawers. This is possible thanks to the built-in modular systems that modify the filling of the refrigerator at the request of the client.
At the same time, manufacturers make the functionality of the refrigerator as diverse as possible by adding special holders and sliding trays. Why produce household appliances of large sizes, if you can increase their capacity?
Some modern refrigerators have egg stands to place them with the sharp end down. It is believed that this way they stay fresh longer. A convenient system for storing bottles in a horizontal position has also been developed, which allows you to save a lot of space.
Almost every well-known brand has transformer refrigerators.
Extended shelf life
Agree that the best refrigerator is the one in which the products do not spoil for a long time.
“Many refrigerators have a function of increasing the shelf life of products,” says Igor Laptev, sales manager of a household appliances store. — They regulate the temperature themselves depending on the number of products and their shelf life. Inside there are zones with different levels of cooling, the main thing is to place the products in the correct zone. Even in ordinary refrigerators there are special compartments, which are called freshness zones. They maintain an optimal level of humidity, thanks to which you can store fresh meat and vegetables for a week. Some refrigerators have different modes of operation of the freezer – for light freezing, for ice cream or for long-term storage.”
Useful options for the refrigerator
It’s hard to say which refrigerator is better. All brands have their advantages and disadvantages. But it is definitely worth paying attention to models with the No frost system, in the freezers of which a snow cap is not formed. This is very convenient for housewives who do not have to defrost and wash the refrigerator. The Super freeze option is a fast shock freezing for 2-3 hours, which allows you to preserve the taste, color and aroma of products, as well as their natural structure. This is especially true when it comes to stocks for the winter during the harvest period.
Another know-how is the walls and doors containing silver ions. Silver not only helps to preserve the freshness of products, but also destroys bacteria and prevents the appearance of an unpleasant smell. A similar option is available for the Hygiene Fresh filtration system, which removes dirt, fungus and bacteria from the refrigerator, and the Bio Shield antibacterial pad, which effectively fights mold and microbes in the refrigerator.
So that the products stay fresh longer
Do you know why Moist Balance CISPER containers with unique lids preserve the freshness of perishable products? The fact is that the lid has a cellular structure that helps to maintain the desired humidity in the container. Vacuum Fresh has similar functions — a system for creating a vacuum space that pumps air out of a box or compartment. When the process of oxidation of products slows down, they do not spoil for a long time. Some refrigerators have another unique box — Opti fresh zone, in which you can adjust the temperature for each type of food.
And another useful feature is TwinTech, dual-circuit cooling, which allows you to separately cool the freezer and refrigerator. This does not mix odors and extends the shelf life of products.
Refrigerators with intelligence
The most unusual refrigerators are “smart” household appliances stuffed with electronics. Some modern models are connected to a smartphone, which allows you to see the contents of the shelves from the other end of the city. This feature is useful for those who constantly forget what to buy. Through the application, you can adjust the temperature and receive a warning about an open door. And some refrigerators have built-in computer displays, and you can order food directly in the kitchen via the Internet.
Which refrigerator will remind you about the expiration date of products? Such models are found not only in science fiction films, but also in LG stores. Agree, it is very convenient!
Many refrigerator brands, such as WHIRLPOOL, supply their models with nanofields. If liquid is spilled on them, it will not spread all over the shelf, but will gather in one place. Fantastic!
It turns out that the most fashionable refrigerators are practical and functional household appliances, where everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Study the offers, make your choice, and let your technique serve you as long as possible!
The most unusual refrigerator
One of the most unusual refrigerators in the world is CoolTone. Thanks to the built-in CD player, MP3 player and radio, it can entertain you with music or radio shows while you cook or eat. Another futuristic household appliance is called “Biogel”. The products in it are stored in gel capsules, and it is cooled by luminescence without connecting to electricity.
