Atlant refrigerators: reviews, pros and cons + review of the best models

Belarusian household appliances have been known for high quality since the days of the Soviet Union. Despite the fact that Russia also produced good equipment, buyers often preferred Belarusian appliances.

And today there are units on the market that were produced at plants that successfully survived the restructuring. A prominent representative of such products is the Atlant refrigerator, which has gained popularity due to its affordable price and fairly high quality.

Take a closer look at such a technique, but don’t know which model to choose? We will help you decide on a purchase. The article describes the design features of different refrigerators, their strengths and weaknesses are indicated, practical recommendations for choosing equipment are given.

A review of the seven most popular models with a display of their characteristics and user reviews will help make a purchasing decision.

Features of refrigeration units “Atlant”

Refrigeration units from Atlanta have always been famous for their high quality and functionality. They work well in all conditions, thanks to the presence of climate control.

Pros and cons of brand technology

Until now, the company has been able to maintain high quality and at the same time maintain fairly budget prices.

Atlant refrigerators are well known throughout the post-Soviet space. They are distinguished by affordable cost, reliability, durability and reasonable functionality.

The company produces a wide range of domestic cooling equipment, including not only refrigerators, but also freezers. These are reliable and very durable devices.

The manufacturer gives a three-year warranty on their products, which is much more than that of competitors. This is no coincidence, the company is confident in the high quality of its equipment, since it does a lot to make it that way.

The "heart" of any Atlant refrigeration unit is an isobutane asynchronous compressor. It is gratifying that it was assembled in Belarus under the license of one large holding company from Europe.

For two-chamber devices, a compressor with a special solenoid valve is available, which enables it to work immediately with two cooling circuits.

A refrigeration unit with two compressors is a practical and economical solution. Each of the working compartments receives “its” engine, which allows you to adjust the functioning of each camera individually

The engine life is quite impressive. On average, the first small repair of a new refrigerator will be required after about 7-10 years of operation.

Given that the Atlanta service network is very well developed, and the details are affordable and affordable, repair work Do not bust the owner of a broken appliance.

It is alarming that the electrics in the devices are mainly Chinese. True, it was not produced artificially, therefore, it serves regularly and for a long time.

The main advantages of refrigeration units from Atlanta include the following:

1. Devices do very well with their main function. They cool and freeze products with high quality. And they do it fast enough.
2. The brand produces models of various capacities. From miniature to very overall. You can choose a solution for any family.
3. Long service life due to adaptability to local operating conditions. The compressor features allow it to easily transfer short-term power outages and power surges.
4. High functionality at an affordable price. The manufacturer equips its equipment with a large number of various additional options, which makes its operation more comfortable.
5. Three-year warranty on all models and high-quality after-sales service in any corner of Russia.

Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting the imperfect build quality. In any model, you can find some minor flaws that in no way affect its performance, but upset the owner and cause some inconvenience.

There are also design flaws, so you should carefully study the instructions for using the unit. There, specific features of the operation of a particular model will be indicated.

Perhaps the plastic for making containers in Atlant refrigerators is not the best. Small assembly flaws are also possible, but this does not affect high performance

In addition, it is worth noting the low power of freezing. Even for freezer compartments, the volume of which exceeds 100 liters, it is only 7 kg. This, of course, is not enough. Actually, these are significant shortcomings and are exhausted.

Admittedly, Atlant manufactures reliable, functional and economical refrigerators at affordable prices. True, with some shortcomings, but it is quite possible to reconcile with them.

Constructional differences of units

The company produces a variety of refrigerators. It is important for the buyer to precisely determine his requirements, then he will easily select the model most suitable for his conditions.

Practicality refrigeration unit largely depends on its capacity and the number of working chambers. The choice here is very wide. The brand produces small and fairly voluminous models with one working chamber - a refrigerator.

Such devices are quite in demand. However, the bulk of the company's products are double-chamber units. One compartment is refrigerated, the second is freezer.

There are several models with the so-called "freshness zone". This is a camera in which a stable temperature is maintained in the region of zero. Fruits, herbs and vegetables are better stored here than anywhere else.

Refrigerators may vary in volume and equipment. The manufacturer offers several options for the number and placement of shelves.Complete its devices with egg trays, bottle holders, etc.

Most of Atlant's products, like any other brand, are double-chamber refrigerators. This is the most user-friendly and practical equipment.

The temperature in the refrigerator compartment can vary from 0 to + 8 ° С. The user sets the most suitable mode.

The freezer compartment is equipped with several drawers, usually from two to four. It all depends on the usable volume of the camera. The temperature in it most often stably stays at -18 ° C, which can be considered a very good indicator.

Suggested Ice Removal Options

The manufacturer uses two options: drip system or “anti-frost”.

Drip or weeping system. It assumes the presence of drainage, through which moisture accumulates inside the working compartment.

Its significant advantages:

• greater usable volume of the camera;
• lack of "airing" of unpacked products;
• cheapness.

Anti-frost system or NoFrost more complicated. It necessarily contains a fan, which is responsible for blowing the contents of the chamber with cold and dry air. As a result, excess moisture evaporates and frost does not form. This is very convenient, but the method also has significant disadvantages.

FirstlyUnpacked products dry quickly.

Secondly, the useful volume of the camera is significantly reduced due to the need to install additional equipment.

The Full No Frost marking on the front panel of the refrigeration unit indicates that both working chambers are equipped with the Anti-Frost system. It is very convenient, but you need to remember that products without packaging will very quickly ventilate and dry

Thirdly, the design is complicated, therefore, it becomes expensive and prone to breakage. The Anti-hoarfrost system can only be placed in the refrigerator compartment or in both working chambers at the same time.

In the latter case, the unit does not need defrosting at all and receives the name Full NoFrost. However, this does not save the owner from the need wash it regularly.

Number and type of working compressors

In the design of a single-chamber refrigeration unit, only one compressor is always used. In two-chamber models, options are possible. The experts recognize the installation of two low-power compressors as optimal.

This provides significant benefits:

1. First of all, the temperature control of the compartments becomes separate. Thus, it becomes possible to make individual adjustments and even shutdown.
2. Separate control allows you to enter additional functions for each of the cameras. For example, a very popular "super freeze" for the freezer.
3. Practice shows that the use of two compressors provides quite significant energy savings. Noise during operation is also significantly reduced.

The disadvantages of this solution include the high cost of the units and their greater susceptibility to breakdowns due to a more complex design.

Devices with one compressor are deprived of the above described advantages, but they have a lower cost, which often becomes a decisive factor of choice.

However, engineers offer another solution. These are devices with one compressor working with two separate cooling circuits. The unit has all the advantages of two-compressor devices and at the same time costs less. The company sells all three possible options in its products.

Belarusian specialists mastered the production of compressors with a solenoid valve. This allows you to produce single-compressor devices in their properties not inferior to two-compressor

In addition, linear or inverter compressors can be installed in Atlant refrigerators. In the first case, the node is not able to change power, therefore it is periodically turned off / on, which significantly reduces its service life.

As practice shows, inverter refrigerators serve much longer due to the fact that they work continuously, changing the power from minimum to necessary.

Additional features and functions

In addition to the main function, cooling and freezing, the equipment can perform some additional functions.

This is a standard set, but still consider it in more detail.

1. Vacation A special mode when the temperature inside the refrigerator compartment is maintained at about +15 ° C. It is included during the absence of the hosts. As expected, the mode allows you to prevent the appearance of a musty smell inside the device.
2. Supercooling. Short-term mode, which makes it possible to quickly and efficiently cool the refrigerated compartment filled with food.
3. Superfrost. A similar mode, but for the freezer compartment. It involves the so-called “shock” freezing of products placed there.
4. Temperature indication. Most models are equipped with a LCD display, which displays data on the temperature regime.
5. Open door alert. A convenient option that allows you to always control the tightness of the door. Especially relevant for families with toddlers and the elderly.
6. Child protection. It assumes the possibility of locking all operating buttons, which allows the device to work normally.

In addition, almost all models make it possible outweigh the doors, so the owner can easily rebuild the unit at his discretion. Atlant does not produce equipment equipped with ice generators and chilled water supply systems.

You can carry out the work of re-hanging the door of the refrigerator and freezer yourself. To do this, you have to study the manufacturer's recommendations given in the instructions for the refrigerator
