When choosing a refrigerator for a small kitchen, pay attention to single-chamber models. They assume the absence of a freezer as such or replace it with a special box with a negative temperature.
Such mini refrigerators without a freezer are convenient because many of them are built-in, that is, when the door is closed, they do not differ from the usual kitchen cabinet due to their hinged facades. This technique can be used both in the office kitchen and in a conventional apartment.
The technical characteristics of such a device are similar to those of a standard two-compartment refrigerator. Performance and durability directly depend on the quality of the chosen model of the refrigerator and the quality of its parts.
The most popular in the modern market for small refrigerators without a freezer are such models as Liebherr, Bosh, Electrolux and Gorenje. Budget, but not less qualitative are Profycool, Vestfrost, Atlant and others: they are cheaper due to less popular branding.
So, single-chamber refrigerators without a freezer have one and only advantage - compactness. Their height does not exceed 85 cm (although there are full-size single-chamber models - read about them below), and the volume ranges from 80 to 250 liters. As for large single-chamber refrigerators without a freezer, they are usually purchased in order to be combined with a separate freezer in the future. Thus, you can assemble your own side-by-side refrigerator, which will meet all the required parameters. To acquire two separate cameras makes sense if, firstly, you have a large family and you need a correspondingly large volume of the refrigerating chamber, and secondly, you plan to freeze a lot of vegetables and fruits for future use.
