  Among all the models participating in the rating, this refrigerator has the most affordable price. But at the same time, it also stands out with a striking design.

Choice factors

The purchase of a new refrigerator should be based on an analysis of its technical characteristics. I will give some useful recommendations in this regard.

Device type

Within the framework of this review, all possible options that you can meet today are concluded: the bottom, top and side location of the freezer compartment. The choice can be any, it all depends on what useful volume you need, be guided by this when buying. Other performance characteristics are not affected by the position of the compartment.

Do you need a refresh zone?

The freshness zone is presented in only one model, but I will explain what this compartment is and why it is needed. The zero zone helps to keep the original freshness of the products thanks to a separate cooling system in it. The temperature inside the zone is maintained at 0 ° C, and you can regulate the humidity yourself, creating, respectively, a dry or humid environment. The first option is optimal for storing fresh fish, meat, natural yoghurts, wet - for greens, salads, vegetables, fruits.

Should I pay attention to the material of the case?

The Germans everywhere offer a standard plastic-metal version. This is not only a standard, but also a completely reliable solution, since the manufacturer has not forgotten about such an important detail as the anti-corrosion protection of the case.

Please note that the SBNgw series is equipped with glass doors, which is very non-trivial in terms of design.

Energy consumption

For a long time I have not seen devices where the energy efficiency corresponds to the A +++ class. Such models consume the minimum possible amount of energy. This gives almost the same costs as a working iron. This I exaggerate of course, but nevertheless, the benefit is obvious. Here I can not disagree with the possibility of saving. There is no impressive difference between the A+ and A++ classes, but the reverent attitude towards tariff increases makes us turn to the more economical A++, which I advise you to do too. Well, if you decide to save on the purchase and A + will be a great choice!

Inverter or not?

In fact, the choice of one or another option depends on the price. Liebherr inverter compressors are expensive. However, it's worth it. The isobutane motor provides decent technical characteristics.But, I cannot but praise the less expensive option - such compressors, although not vaunted inverters, will successfully serve in everyday life, moreover, twice as long as those of the closest European analogues. If possible, take an inverter, if not - calmly not an inverter.

Functionality

Next, I will briefly describe the essence of the functions that the brand offers. This will help you understand what exactly is useful to you and make a choice.

It will be useful for you to know the following:

• autonomous preservation of cold - the mode is useful if the device is disconnected from the network for a long time. The Germans offer a fairly wide range of battery life. I have not seen higher indicators than they have, although the value of just such a period in practice is doubtful - we do not live in the taiga. Well, if in the taiga - 42 hours of battery life - this is an option for you;
• freezing power - productivity indicates how many kilograms of food you can send to the freezer per day. Accordingly, the higher the power, the greater the frost. When choosing, be guided by your life, do not overpay in vain for high opportunities if they are not in demand;
• indication - want to provide easy control over the operation of the refrigerator? - choose a device with a different purpose of indication. This will prove useful during operation;
• the cold accumulator is an excellent addition to the general configuration! This little thing can extend the autonomy, useful for cooling drinks and from bumps on the head;
• super freezing/super cooling is also a good option. Why not take a device that can work especially efficiently, if possible;
• vacation mode is an option for those who are often absent from home and are on long business trips and vacations.

Finally, I note that the choice should be evaluated comprehensively, based on useful volume, cost, and practicality. I will discuss the latter aspect below.

About Liebherr

The German brand was founded in 1949 and operates in two industries - mechanical engineering and the production of premium refrigerators. Production of refrigeration equipment started in 1954. In 1971, the brand was the world's first manufacturer of an electronically controlled refrigerator.

The company's factories are located in several European countries:

• Germany (Ochsenhausen) - household and commercial refrigerators, freezers, refrigerators for storing wine;
• Austria (Lienz) - compact, overall, built-in appliances with a side-by-side system;
• Bulgaria (Maritsa) — freezers and refrigerators of the Comfort class.

Several plants are located in Russia (Dzerzhinsk and Odintsovo district, Moscow region).

Interesting to know! At Liebherr's factories, up to 7,000 refrigerators and freezers roll off the production lines every day.

The manufacturer is certified according to the ISO 50001 standard, which means an impeccable reputation, the release of energy-efficient models, competitiveness, and product durability.

The main compartments of the refrigerator

Obviously, the internal space of the refrigerator is always of fundamental importance for the client. It has been established that the average volume in our time is assumed to be in the range from 250 to 350 liters (in practice, it is achieved with a refrigerator height of 178 cm).

What are the main functional compartments of refrigerators that are most in demand by users? There are only three of them: a freezer, a refrigerator compartment and a zero chamber. Moreover, it is possible to implement such a separation both in a 3-chamber and in a 2-chamber version.An example of a three-chamber device is the Liebherr 3956 refrigerator (height 2010 m) with a total volume of 325 l, which contains a refrigeration compartment (157 l), a zero chamber (79 l) and a freezer chamber (89 l). In the 0-chamber, as is known, the temperature is close to 0 °C.

Two-chamber units have only two compartments: freezing and refrigeration. However, inside the refrigerator, the designers successfully modeled the zero zone. This design is recognized by customers as successful, and it is bought more often, as evidenced by the reviews. The Liebherr refrigerator, as follows from the surveys, is chosen according to many criteria (we will touch on them in this article). However, the average buyer in 80% of cases starts with the criterion of the volume of the freezer. If the family practices freezing a sufficiently large amount of food, then it is advisable to have an increased volume - up to 150 liters. If family meals are based on the purchase of frozen semi-finished products, 70 liters will be enough. Let's analyze what interior spaces Liebherr offers to consumers in its refrigerators (see table 1).

Table 1. Total internal volume as well as volumes of functional compartments of Liebherr refrigerators (in liters)

As you can see, for a large family living in a spacious dwelling, the Liebherr SBS 7212 refrigerator is ideal. This is a large white refrigerator, with a slightly above average height (1852 mm), it has an impressive width of 1210 mm and a depth of 630 mm.Choosing another model, we find that it is also reasonable to purchase the unprincipled smaller brand SBSES 8283. The rest of the Liebherr refrigerators in the presented line will be smaller in volume. For most people who buy units of American design, at first it is unusual for the location of the freezer and refrigerator from left to right and, accordingly, the position of the doors one next to the other, which the Liebherr refrigerator presented above has. Side by side - this is the name of such a design.

Consider vegetarians. For them, the zero zone is valuable in the refrigerator. In it, with a high humidity regime (about 90%), greens are well preserved. However, their antipodes, zealous meat lovers, also find an “ally” in the zero zone: dry cold (at 50% humidity) keeps meat products fundamentally longer than classic units with high humidity. The CBN 3956 refrigerator is the most functional in this regard. This is a tall, spacious three-chamber technique, above the average human height - 201 cm. .

However, the Liebherr 4003 two-chamber refrigerator, as well as the CES 4023 model, also have a height of 201 cm. It is noteworthy that the last two have an increased cooling zone to approximately 280 liters. Liebherr marketers do not eat their bread in vain: according to statistics, such a volume is in demand by families consisting of 4 people. Moreover, it is even a little more: strictly speaking, the volume of the refrigerating chamber is 200-250 liters, i.e. models 4003 and 4023 are just right for them.Liebherr technologists have created conditions for longer storage in the above-mentioned devices thanks to a fan located in the refrigerator compartment.

Refrigerators listed at the bottom of the table: CBN 3956, CN 4013, CN 3033 - adapted to the average family, up to three people inclusive. And the most compact refrigerator Liebherr CUN 3033, in fact, is a bachelor's dream.
