It is unlikely that today you can meet a person who does not have a refrigerator at home. The modern market offers potential buyers a huge selection of such products. Devices differ significantly from each other in terms of functional content, overall dimensions and other factors. Not the last role in this case is played by the cost of the device. European and Asian brands, as a rule, are quite expensive, unfortunately, not every person has the means to purchase such equipment. There is a way out of this situation — the Belarusian brand Atlant, widely known in many countries.
Refrigerators created by this company are distinguished by a long service life and acceptable quality. It is for people who prefer this brand that we decided to rank the best Atlant refrigerators. But before proceeding to a direct analysis of the qualities of each review model, let’s see what exactly you should pay attention to when purchasing similar household appliances.
How to choose the right refrigerator?
This company has a lot of product varieties — single-chamber, two-chamber, free-standing and built-in, freezers and so on. The most common today are two-chamber refrigerators, which are a classic hybrid of a freezer and the refrigerator itself. Each chamber is equipped with its own door, and it can be located both at the top and at the bottom of the unit.
Be sure to measure the place where you plan to install the structure before buying. It is desirable that the unit does not interfere with the passage, the door does not hit the wall or other objects when opened, there must be a socket nearby. They also take into account such a factor as useful volume — here it will be necessary to build on the number of family members. If no more than two people live in an apartment, then a 200-300 liter refrigerator will be enough for them. When there are no more than 4 people in the family, then the volume should be larger — about 350-500 liters. If even more people live, then units with a useful volume of 440 liters and above are preferred.
Most modern devices are equipped with inverter compressors. They are constantly on and maintain the temperature set by the user, however, they work with different power. They are almost silent, have a serious working resource, but are afraid of power surges, so refrigerators with such a motor are best connected to the network through a stabilizer.
Almost all Atlant refrigerators are equipped with an automatic defrosting system. The devices are manufactured using the most modern technologies, therefore they consume a small amount of energy. In addition, often the units are equipped with additional functions. In particular, a special freshness zone can be provided for storing fruits and vegetables there. If a large number of products are placed in the refrigerator at the same time, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to do without the super-freeze mode, which provides almost instantaneous cooling of the products, while the temperature already lying inside will remain at the same level.
When choosing models for our rating, we relied, first of all, on the analyzed factors. However, some other points were taken into account: the ratio of price and quality of the product, as well as user reviews. For each review refrigerator, we tried to collect the maximum amount of data so that our readers can immediately determine the optimal model.
10 best models of refrigerators brand «Atlant»

A fairly roomy model, characterized by a laconic and very calm design, which allows the unit to organically fit into any interior of the room. The device is highly reliable, the control system is mechanical, there is really nothing to break in this refrigerator. Initially, it was developed with the expectation of long-term operation. The freezer will have to be defrosted manually, and an elementary drip system is installed in the refrigerator compartment: condensate remains on the evaporator, then turns into ice, and gradually melts. The resulting water flows by gravity into a special reservoir, where it evaporates into the environment. In terms of electricity consumption, these products correspond to class A, so you can not be afraid that the operation of the unit will be expensive.
Inside the freezer there are three rather roomy drawers made of reliable plastic. The shelves in the refrigerator are made of tempered glass of increased strength. The overall dimensions of the product are 195x60x63 cm — not very much, so such a device can be easily placed even in a cramped kitchen. A standard incandescent lamp is used as a lighting device.

7. ATLANT XM 4008-022
One of the key advantages of this unit is the resistance of the compressor and control system to sudden and significant voltage drops in the mains. In the manufacture of the refrigerator, a compressor of our own production was used, which is one of the most reliable today. Isobutane is used as a refrigerant. Much less energy is spent on cooling such a gas compared to classical freon, in turn, this has a positive effect on the amount of energy consumed. In addition, the gas does not interact with materials, does not corrode them over time. The refrigerator is relatively quiet. In the production of the inner chamber, ABS plastic is used instead of polystyrene. It does not emit any foreign smell, which often remains in new refrigerators for some time.
The evaporator is not located in the chamber itself, but is displayed on the back wall, filled with special foam. Due to such a constructive solution, it was possible not only to increase the useful volume, to make the appearance of the chambers more attractive, but also to simplify the maintenance of the device, to prevent damage to the evaporator itself. This device uses a cooling system based on the natural movement of air masses. This technology creates zones with different temperatures, which are optimally suited for specific products. With overall dimensions of 142x60x63 cm, the refrigerator has a useful volume of 244 liters, of which 168 liters fall on the refrigerator.
Advantages:
- The optimum ratio of price and quality;
- The freezer has a pretty good capacity;
- Small overall dimensions;
- Works almost silently;
- Consumes a minimum of energy.
Disadvantages:
- Weak boxes in the freezer;
- It is problematic to adjust the temperature;
- The cell is designed for 8 eggs.
