Asko refrigerators are worthy competitors of the famous brands Bosch, Siemens or Samsung. The Asko company produces Premium class equipment using durable and high-quality materials. If you decide to spend money on buying such a refrigerator, our review will be useful to you: we will consider the advantages and characteristics of popular models, prices and user opinions.
Benefits of Asko refrigerators
Asko offers the buyer not only ordinary, but also combined refrigerators, you can find exquisite wine cabinets. The main colors are traditional – white and steel. Economical and bright LED-backlighting is provided inside.
In combined models, in addition to the usual compartments – refrigeration and freezing – a drawer-type compartment is provided. It significantly expands the volume of the cabinet and increases the user’s capabilities.
In the wine cooler, the facade is complemented by a durable glass insert. This makes the cabinet not only attractive, but also allows you to choose a drink without opening the door once again.
Removable dividers in containers and adjustable shelves make using the equipment simple and enjoyable. Clear glass shelves improve visibility inside the compartments. The doors, as befits, are equipped with additional “pockets” and compartments.
defrosting
Asko refrigerators received the No Frost system, thanks to which automatic defrosting of both chambers became possible. Cold air, circulating through the compartments with the help of a fan, prevents the appearance of frost on the walls.
Management
Electronic control is provided in all the latest models of technology. There are thermostats in each compartment – refrigerator and freezer. This makes it possible to fine-tune the different chill and freeze zones for each individual compartment. The display is used to control temperatures and modes, in case of malfunctions, it displays error codes.
Security
Engineers paid a lot of attention to the safety system of equipment. It includes:
- Door open indicator. Forgot to close the door? After 2 minutes, the equipment itself will remind you of this by giving two types of signal: sound and indicator flashing.
- Child lock (protection against accidental pressing). This option does not allow you to change hardware settings.
- Freon brand R600a. Isobutane is natural gas, and this is its main advantage. It does not destroy the planet’s ozone layer and is not the cause of the greenhouse effect. In addition, if you need to refill, any master will have such a brand of freon.
Functional
Asko combined type equipment is additionally equipped with a number of useful options and functions. Among them:
- Additional refrigerator. You didn’t get it, you’re right. Asco is the only company in the world that produces freezers that can be transformed into refrigerators. Reconfiguration will take up to 2 hours. But on the other hand, this will make it possible to cool a large batch of products.
- Ice maker. This device is located at the top of the freezer and with each cycle creates 7 ice cubes. The number of cycles corresponds to the volume of the special container for ice.
- A drawer with the ability to adjust the drawer type. Such a compartment can be transformed depending on the wishes of the user: it can be cooled, frozen or stored wine.
- Multiflow. The system provides air supply to each shelf for uniform cooling of all products. Preserve the benefits, appearance and taste of food.
- Freshbox – the so-called “freshness zones” for storing delicate and demanding products. In these boxes, a special temperature is maintained at which it is realistic to preserve all the vitamins in vegetables and fruits. And in the Coldbox zone, it is worth storing fish and meat, as these “delicate” products do not tolerate frost.
Important! Read more about fresh boxes in the review “What is the freshness zone in the refrigerator.”
- Super cool – this is how the manufacturers called the super-freeze function. If you have not come across this option, we remind you that it can be used to freeze products with high quality while maintaining their benefits and attractive appearance. The time spent on such freezing is minimal. The weight of the product remains unchanged.
Also, in all new Asco devices, an improved thermal insulation system has been introduced, the door tightness has been increased, and motor-compressors with variable speed have been installed. All of the above has a beneficial effect on the energy efficiency of electrical appliances.

Karina, Moscow
Phenomenal quality. It copes with all functions perfectly: products are stored for a very long time, even greens do not deteriorate. No need to defrost! Didn’t find any shortcomings. Capacity — what you need. The main plus is that it is built-in, very advantageously hidden in the kitchen. The freezer freezes at 100. I actively use the area for vegetables and fruits. Completely satisfied with the purchase, it is worth the money.
Margarita, Orel city
Inside, everything is finished with very high-quality plastic – you can immediately see that it is not China. Works quietly, holds a lot of products. We have been using it for a month, probably, so there were no errors or breakdowns. Fits perfectly in the kitchen. All shelves are comfortable, as they did for me. Freezing is excellent – I already froze a whole shelf of berries for the winter, so they weren’t even covered with frost, as if from a bush!
RFN2274I
No less interesting, but more affordable built-in model. The freezer is traditionally located at the bottom.

Love, Nadym
I give it a solid five. We got good functionality at a reasonable price. This model was expected under the order, and my husband and I did not regret it. Pleased with a large volume with small dimensions. No cons found. The freshness zone also pleased, as did the low energy consumption. I advise.
Olga, St. Petersburg
There are enough shelves, everything fits into the freezer. Works like a clock. Maybe I’m nitpicking, but the main disadvantage is that this model comes only in a white body color. Noisy for me. For a long time I could not get used to the lower freezer. I advise you to be careful with the paint – it is easily damaged (accidentally hit the door with a knife). In general, a good technique from a reliable brand.
R21183I
Another built-in refrigerator, but without a freezer.
- Management – electronics.
- The number of compressors is equal to the number of chambers – one.
- The case is made in dimensions 54×54,5×177,5 cm.
- The volume of the compartment is 327 liters.
The chamber is provided with a drip defrosting system. The model has a fairly low noise level – only 38 dB. The cost is from 59 rubles.

Vadim, Tver
It makes a lot of noise. Condensation constantly freezes from the side of the rear wall near the fan. Nothing special. I took it for a summer residence, so I’m not very upset. The fan starts every time you open and close the door, and runs for a long time and is loud. I trusted reviews at one time, although I looked at Bosch.
Denis, Simferopol
Spacious and compact – just right for a small kitchen. The only downside is the cost. It works quietly, I didn’t notice any noise behind it (I installed it myself, according to the level). I have not met a better model so that there is no freezer.
F2282I

- The dimensions of the cabinet are 59,6×54,5×82 cm.
- The freezer is defrosted manually.

Alice, Mr. Teberda
The freezer is very spacious even though it is small. Very easy to get under the table. Manual defrosting is embarrassing, with such and such technical progress … It makes noise, but not much.
Galina, Cheboksary
The quality is excellent, and the price is fully justified. The work is quiet, the door can be re-hung. I love to freeze everything that grows in the country, so naturally there was not enough regular freezer in the refrigerator. We chose a small built-in wardrobe and found this miracle. For a small kitchen – a godsend. It freezes quickly and can be adjusted.
Let’s summarize. Asco refrigerators are premium-class appliances for wealthy users who are demanding both in appearance and functionality of the devices, and in the reputation of the company. The choice of Asko products in Russia is small, but among the built-in models of refrigerators and freezers there is something to choose for a room of any size.
