If you decide to purchase a Pozis refrigerator, you will be interested in information about the brand, the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment, the main characteristics of the models and the pricing policy. Our review is completely dedicated to this and is designed to help you make a buying decision.
What Pozis makes
Pozis, despite the foreign name, is a domestic enterprise. On the stickers you can find the inscription: the country of origin is the Russian Federation, the Sergo Plant Production Association. Today it is the largest manufacturer of domestic refrigeration equipment. Moreover, there are not only household lines – high-quality wine and pharmaceutical cabinets leave the factory.
Fact! If you remember the Soviet single-chamber refrigerators SVIYAG, then you have already come across the products of the Sergo plant.
Since 2004, the production of Premier and Classic refrigerators has been launched, and in 2010 a new generation of premium class rolled off the assembly line – the Hannfrost line.
We will not delve into the study of laboratory equipment and wine cabinets – for this we have separate articles: “Review of pharmaceutical refrigerators for home and pharmacies” and “Overview of wine cabinets (wine coolers)“. Consider household single-chamber and two-chamber electrical appliances: features of their assembly, reliability and functionality.
About Pozis refrigerators
Single-chamber options are ideal for hotels, offices, country houses or small kitchens. And two-chamber traditionally have a large volume of both chambers and a separate door for each. Models with two compartments will be convenient for short-term and long-term storage of products in a large family. The case design is similar to many leading brands, so it will suit almost any interior.
Features
- Low noise, not exceeding 40 decibels.
- Climate class – N. Suitable for rooms with temperature marks not lower than 16 and not higher than 32 degrees.
On a note! Read more about these indexes on the page “Climatic classes of the refrigerator».
- Equipment developers have long abandoned outdated technologies. These include incandescent lamps – they were replaced with practical, economical and modern LED lighting.
- High energy efficiency of individual series – not lower than A.
- Soldering the components of the compressor system with a special substance with a high silver content. This contributes to high resistance to corrosion processes and eliminates freon leakage.
- All refrigerators use environmentally friendly gas – isobutane (R600A). It is efficient in operation, safe for living organisms and does not destroy the ozone layer of the planet. High-energy properties make it possible to reduce the volume of freon in the system compared to analogues.
- Hinging the door on either side allows the user to choose which way it will open. It all depends on the layout of the kitchen and the location of the electrical appliance.
- In two-chamber models, “Full No Frost” is provided – a system that protects the internal walls from frost and snow. This technology is not available in single-door versions, but they need to be defrosted no more than 1-2 times a year, so no hassle is expected.
- The stability of the operation will not be disturbed due to a power surge in the network, since the input circuit has galvanic protection.
- Do you think that antibacterial coating is an innovation that is used only in Bosch, Siemens or Algy appliances? And no: Pozis cameras also have coatings that prevent the spread of pathogenic microbes, fungus and mold spores, and unpleasant odors.
- In the Premier line, the energy efficiency reaches class A +, the warranty period lasts 5 years, the shelves are made of tempered glass, designed for 40 kg.
- The Classic series embodies the experience of more than half a century. The freezer is classically located: both in models with one compartment and with two.
Advantages and disadvantages
Summing up all of the above, we highlight the main advantages of Pozis refrigeration equipment:
- Large capacity.
- A good assembly is “for their own”.
- High-quality and uniform cooling.
- Silent work.
- Economic lighting.
- Careful packaging of each part and component.
- Non-yellowing and non-cracking plastic.
- “Vegetable” and “fruit” boxes are solid, so they last as long as possible.
- Legs adjustable. Wheels in some trim levels.
- Excellent freezing freezer.
It is worth talking about some of the shortcomings. Customers complain that plastic absorbs the smell of food, which makes it necessary to ventilate the cabinet. They also note that the new refrigerator smells like plastic for a long time. Also, based on the reviews, we can conclude:
- The button for turning on the light in the compartment is stuck.
- A small number of rails for shelves – a modest opportunity for height adjustment.
- Insufficiently rational distribution on the door – users note that additional shelves would not hurt.
- Condensation collects on the back wall, although it should not be there. Sometimes drops are found even on the side walls.
- The door hinge is not mounted and is visually noticeable, which somewhat distorts the interior of the kitchen.
- Freezer drawers do not have handles, which makes them inconvenient to remove.
- A lot of ice has accumulated in the freezer compartment, which requires frequent defrosting of this compartment.
These shortcomings of Pozis household equipment are most common. If you also get a model with flaws, the equipment can always be returned or exchanged.

I do not want to talk about the pros and cons of a particular model, because this is the most common refrigerator. But I’ll tell you how things were in general: a week after the purchase, it began to flow. I found ice at the bottom of the freezer (despite the No Frost) – it turned out that this ice was melting, hence the puddles. But that’s not all. The master said that the water drain pipe was packed in a film, which caused the drain to freeze and floods began. After removing the film, everything became good – it freezes, does not make noise, does not freeze over. But the impression is notably spoiled.
Dmitriy
Excellent price and quality from Soviet times – that’s what bribed me. The cells are spacious, the wardrobe is compact. The walls do not freeze, the freezer too. It leaked a little, but I figured it out myself and corrected the position of the drain tube. Breakdowns for six months of operation were not found, I hope that this will continue in the future.

I bought my mother, according to her requests. I asked for an inexpensive device with a large freezer for summer frosts – all sorts of fruits and berries. Outwardly liked, and inside everything is simple. Minus – noisy. But mom has a great sleep, so she doesn’t complain, but I, as a user, should note this. In general, the technique is ordinary – no frills, so there is nothing special to describe. You have to earn your price in full.
RS-411 Gf
A small one-door variant finished in black. Suitable for minimalists with a commitment to dark shades. Like the models, this one is equipped exclusively with electromechanics, and the energy consumption class is always A. The dimensions of the case are 54x55x85 cm. As you can see, this compact “assistant” will easily fit even in a small kitchen.
Inside there is a freezer compartment with manual defrosting. The refrigerator has a drip system.
On a note! Freezer minimum: -12 degrees.
The total volume of the cabinet is 120 liters, of which 14 are for the freezer.
The shelves are metal, the noise level is not higher than 40 dB, the climate class is N, the weight is only 43 kg.
The price is within 10 rubles.

Olga
There were questions about the instructions – I did not understand how the temperature is set. Only later did I find out that the adjustment was elementary – I was just afraid to cheat too much. It freezes a little, but at least it doesn’t flow (I’ve read other reviews) and it doesn’t rattle at night.
Typical faults
Despite the manufacturability described above, Pozis malfunctions are common. A high-strength cooling system is a luxury for a domestic manufacturer. If you improve the quality, it will “hit” the cost, and in the conditions of wild competition, the equipment is unlikely to be in demand among users. After all, the priority is often the price.
There are a number of typical breakdowns specific to Pozis equipment:
- Electrical wiring problems. They imply the lack of power supply of the starting protective relay (PZR). It can also be damage to the insulation or burning of the contacts.
- Breakdown of the thermostat.
- Fault in the operation of the PZR.
- Compressor motor failure.
The masters note that due to the long-term use of the electrical appliance, blockages of the capillary pipeline and the filter-drier are not excluded.
The main “symptoms” of problems:
- the freezer does not freeze;
- the main branch does not work;
- the compressor does not turn off;
- water accumulates under the boxes for vegetables and fruits;
- water flows from under the body, etc.
Fortunately, the simple device of the technique allows it to be successfully repaired. Some parts can be repaired, some of them need to be changed.
Fact! Masters note that since there is no electronic circuit, this excludes a dozen or two possible breakdowns.
So, Pozis refrigerators are not the highest quality appliances on the market, but they are quite cheap. At the same time, a simple device in the event of a breakdown provides a quick and relatively inexpensive repair. An option for those who want to save money and support a domestic manufacturer at the same time.
