Specifications

Next, we will consider each Pozis Sviyaga freezer from the technical side. I have summarized all the characteristics in a table where you can clearly trace the differences and similarities of each model.

Next, we will evaluate the practicality of each sample of domestic aggregate building.

What are they

Most modern refrigerators are equipped with reciprocating compressors that are powered by vertical shaft electric motors. Most often, the compressor, along with the electric motor, is suspended on springs inside a sealed casing - this type of design is called internal suspension. This ensures a low noise level during compressor operation, since most of the vibrations are damped by the springs and "remain" inside the casing.

Piston compressors of previous years were powered by an electric motor with a horizontal shaft and had an external suspension - at the base of the refrigerator cabinet, on the frame, springs were installed, on which, in fact, the casing with the compressor and electric motor packed into it was attached. In this case, all vibrations of the compressor are not damped by the springs and are transmitted to the casing, then to the frame and cabinet, which makes the operation of the refrigerator unnecessarily noisy.

Biryusa and Atlant, Pozis - brand features, strengths and weaknesses of technology

The updated models of the Biryusa brand are on a par with representatives of major world brands. They incorporate Low Frost and No Frost technologies. They are spacious, energy efficient and have electronic control. Of the minuses, it can be noted that there is a loud indication signal when opening the doors, condensation on the back wall and handles made of fragile plastic.

The Atlant company produces a large range of refrigeration equipment, which is durable and reliable. Each unit has an asynchronous isobutane compressor. Despite the fact that the equipment is equipped with Chinese-made electrics, it works properly for a long time. Among the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting minor design flaws that do not affect operation. Another technique has a small freezing capacity - a maximum of 7 kg.

The Pozis brand uses the latest materials and technologies in production. For example, economical LED lighting. Or an antibacterial coating that prevents the spread of unpleasant odors, mold and germs. Regardless of the model, all units have a low noise level, energy efficiency class "A", modern cooling systems. They can be operated at an air temperature of +16°С…+32°С.According to users, the main drawback of the units of this brand is the formation of condensate.

Features and Benefits

Freezers, two-chamber and single-chamber refrigerators "Sviyaga" have become classics of refrigeration equipment. Their production is located in Russia, by the Pozis company, which significantly affects the pricing policy of this type of electrical engineering.

The very first refrigeration unit "Sviyaga" was single-chamber and had a minimum volume, which was barely enough for a modest supply of provisions for a small family. With the development of the Pozis refrigeration industry, the question arose of improving the model being produced. Thus, two-door copies with a spacious freezer saw the light. Since that time, housewives did not have to worry about where the meat or vegetables would lie in winter.

Over time, the interior space of refrigerators has also changed. Metal lattice shelves have been replaced by heavy-duty glass surfaces that can easily withstand weights up to 30 kg. In addition, they prevent accidentally spilled liquids from entering the lower tiers.

The transition of Sviyaga refrigerators to a modern refrigerant made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of annual electricity consumption. Modern models are distinguished by a high energy efficiency class, recognized as a standard in all European countries.

POZIS Sviyaga-513-5

Another compact helper in the kitchen. Unlike its previous “brother”, it does not have a freezer. But due to its absence, the useful volume of the refrigeration compartment has increased.Therefore, you can easily place food in it even for the whole family. Inside the chamber there are metal shelves and plastic boxes for perishable products, and on the door there is a standard container for eggs and balconies for small things and bottles. In operation it is simple and unpretentious. It is enough just to occasionally drain the water that accumulates in the pan, and periodically wash the refrigerator. This product from Pozis also has a wide range of colors that will allow you to personalize the appliances for your kitchen.

Advantages:

• small sizes;
• high energy efficiency;
• wide color range;
• large capacity refrigerator compartment.

Flaws:

• lack of a freezer;

POZIS Sviyaga-410-1

Another compact refrigerator from a Russian manufacturer. The capacity of this model is an order of magnitude higher than that of the first contender for leadership. Despite the fact that the freezer is located in the upper part of the structure, it practically does not “eat up” the usable volume of the refrigerator. At the very bottom of the equipment there are white plastic containers for fruits and vegetables, and on the door there is again an egg container and a plastic balcony for drinks. Such a refrigerator is perfect not only for city apartments, but also for hotel rooms. Moreover, the manufacturers do not deviate from their standards and this model was also made in seven colors.

Advantages:

• small sizes;
• high energy efficiency;
• the ability to choose the color of the refrigerator for the design of the room;
• a small freezer.

Flaws:

• slight extraneous noise during compressor operation;
• ice accumulation.

Dimensions and layout

Refrigerator dimensions

The width and depth of a standard refrigerator is 60 cm, and the height can be different. For single-chamber ones - from 85 to 185 cm, except for narrow models, and for two- and three-chamber ones - up to 2 m and above. There are also compact options for small kitchens with a width of 45 cm and models with an increased chamber volume 70 cm wide.Tip: if you are equipping the kitchen from scratch, first draw on paper or in a computer program a plan of what will stand and where, in accordance with the size of the room and the dimensions of household appliances. Evaluate how convenient it will be.And only after that proceed to the choice of a refrigerator and other equipment.

Embedded Models

If the refrigerator does not fit into the design of your kitchen, pay attention to built-in models. They do not have decorative walls, but there are fasteners for hanging kitchen facades.

Just take into account one nuance. In comparison with the classic versions, built-in refrigerators have a smaller volume of chambers with the same dimensions.

Number and location of cameras

Now they produce refrigerators with a different number of chambers:

• single chamber These are units with only a refrigerator or only a freezer. Refrigerators without a freezer are not widely used, but they can be found on sale. Single-chamber freezers are bought in addition to an existing refrigerator in order to store large volumes of frozen food: meat, frozen berries and vegetables from their summer cottage, etc.;
• two-chamber: here the freezer and refrigerator are usually separated. It is convenient and economical. In models where the freezer is located at the bottom, it is usually larger. There are refrigerators with an internal freezer (like Soviet ones), in which the freezer and refrigerator are located behind one common door. Such models are gradually leaving the market;

• multi-chamber with three, four, five chambers, in which a freshness zone, a vegetable box or a “zero chamber” are placed. There are few such refrigerators on the market and they have a rather high price;
• FrenchDoor - a special kind of refrigerators, in which the refrigerator compartment has two hinged doors, and the freezer with one door is usually located below. The width of such models is 70-80 cm, and the volume of the chamber is about 530 liters. This is an intermediate option for those who find standard refrigerators small, but too large and expensive. side by side.
• side by side suitable for a large family and a spacious kitchen. It has a large refrigerator and freezer located next to each other. The doors open in different directions, like a closet. Often models have additional useful options: an ice generator, a dust repellent system, etc.

Side-by-side refrigerator

Special refrigerators

Separately, you can talk about wine refrigerators and humidors for storing cigars. To maintain quality, they maintain the optimum temperature and humidity for these products. In humidors, the shelves are made of wood to avoid the appearance of an unusual smell for cigars. Wine cabinets can have several zones with different temperatures for storing white and red wines. The shelves here are often tilted so that the cork from the inside always comes into contact with the wine and does not dry out.

freshness zone

"Fresh zone" is a container with a temperature 2-3 degrees lower than in the refrigerator, that is, close to zero. It is designed to store meat, poultry, fish for up to 5 days without freezing.LG refrigerator with high humidity and freshness zoneIn this refrigerator, the high humidity zone is located under the freshness zone.Zero zone found in top models of refrigerators from different manufacturers. This is a container with its own evaporator and control module. It has at least three modes of operation:

• easy freezing (quick cooling of drinks) - temperature -3 ° C, automatically turns off after 40 minutes;
• zero degrees is used to store chilled meat, fish, poultry for up to 10 days without freezing;
• zone of high humidity — temperature +3°С for storage of fresh vegetables and fruits. The zone can be used for soft freezing of processed cheeses and fish before further cutting.

Criterias of choice

These criteria include:

• Energy consumption. All appliances are divided into several classes according to the level of energy consumption and are designated by letters from A to G. Freezers with A markings will be the most profitable option. Sometimes you can even find the A + marking, which indicates increased energy efficiency of the freezer.
• Volume. The larger the volume, the larger the dimensions of the freezer. It is necessary to clearly articulate why the freezer is being bought. If you need a freezer for domestic use, in most cases you can get by with small models from 150 to 250 liters. For shops or cafes, completely different volumes will be required.
• Freeze class. It is indicated by special stars on the packaging and determines how quickly the product can be cooled. A good freezer for the home is usually marked with 3-4 stars.
• Power. This indicator determines how many products the device can freeze per day. A small family will have enough power of about 7 kg / day.
• Defrosting. Budget models will need to be defrosted manually as soon as the amount of snow and ice exceeds the norm. The best freezer, on the contrary, will be equipped with a system that will automatically remove all the accumulated moisture. For such units, defrosting is not required.

Below is a rating of freezers.It was compiled based on feedback from real customers and is divided into several sections, depending on the features of the models.

conclusions

So we have come to the final part of our review, where you can finally decide on the choice of the Sviyaga freezer. I want to say that all products of the brand proved to be worthy. I did not find a single critical flaw, and in terms of a number of technical characteristics, freezers are not inferior to competing counterparts in their price segment.

Pozis Sviyaga 106-2

Choose this model if you need a more solid useful volume, and you do not plan to install the device in the living room. The camera will serve perfectly in everyday life and will not cause problems during operation.

However, if you don't want to deal with manual defrosting, check out the 150cm freezers.

Pozis Sviyaga 109-2

A small unit wins due to its mobility. If you do not need too much usable volume, feel free to choose it both in an apartment and in a country house. Mechanical control will withstand all the delights of operation at the cottage or in the garden. By the way, there are no less attractive samples in the lines of low freezers.
