It was created by the entrepreneur A. Merlone. The company's office was located in the 30s in the small Italian town of Fabriano. The first products manufactured by Indesit were scales. After the Second World War, the company began to produce high-quality electric water heaters and cylinders for liquefied gas. In 1975 the company was renamed Indesit. Today it is one of the largest manufacturers of household appliances in the world. On Russian market its products, including refrigerators, are in truly enormous demand.

General description of the model

This freezer is a freestanding cabinet, the body of which is covered with white high-quality plastic. The advantages of this model, consumers include, first of all, a large volume, the presence of an indication of inclusion and, of course, low cost.

Volume

The indicators of the width and depth of modern household appliances start from 50 cm.The model Indesit SFR 167 NF has dimensions of 60: 66.5 cm. This means that quite a few a large number of products. The total volume of this model is 271 liters. It is believed that such freezers are simply ideal for the simultaneous storage of meat products weighing up to 80 kg. For all sorts of greens and vegetables with the same mass, the volume, of course, is greater. But all the same, a lot of them can fit in such a chamber.

Climatic class

Freezers are one of the most popular types of household appliances. And therefore they are used everywhere - in areas with a wide variety of climatic conditions... With extreme heat or with a sharp cold snap, the air temperature can change not only outside, but also in the apartment. Of course, this has a pretty serious impact on the operation of the freezer. That is why in recent times manufacturers began to indicate on each model, including its climate class. This parameter determines the specific conditions under which the freezer can store food reliably.

Model Indesit SFR 167 NF belongs to subnormal climate class SN. This means that it can work effectively in the temperature range from +10 to +32 C. If necessary, this freezer, therefore, can be installed in a corridor that is not equipped with a heating radiator, or even in a basement.

Keeping cold

Electricity grids in Russia are quite stable. However, in our country, it does happen sometimes. This is especially true for areas outside of cities. In villages, townships and horticultural associations, the disappearance of voltage from the network is not at all uncommon. Of course, when the current is turned off, the freezer stops performing its functions. And this is fraught with spoilage of food. Therefore, when buying this technique, they usually pay attention to its characteristic as autonomous cold preservation.

Indesit SFR 167 NF is a freezer that can keep the operating temperature for 13 hours after the current is cut off. This is usually enough. In cities, according to standards, electricity is not allowed to be disconnected for more than 2 hours without reducing the payment for it. In villages and towns, this period can be up to 24 hours. But usually the problem is solved faster.

Freezing capacity

When buying a freezer, attention should also be paid to this parameter. The capacity of Indesit SFR 167 NF is 30 kilograms per day. That's quite a lot. Most modern models are designed to freeze no more than 20 kg of food per day.

Energy class

In this regard, the Indesit SFR 167 NF cabinet is inferior to some other models. He consumes too much energy. The D marking on this freezer means that it consumes about 536 kW of energy per hour per year. Thus, apartment owners who have bought this model should be prepared for the fact that they will pay quite a lot for electricity. For those who want to save money on this article family budget, it is still better to think about purchasing a freezer of the highest energy efficiency class (A ++, A + or A with thick walls).

Where to buy and at what price

You can buy the popular Indesit SFR 167 NF freezer today in almost any supermarket of household appliances. The easiest way, of course, is to place an order online. This model, as already mentioned, is not too expensive. Depending on the supplier, the average price for it is 22,500-23500 rubles.

Other modifications

Of course, the SFR 167 NF is not the only model from Indesit that is popular with consumers. The Indesit SFR 167 S freezer also deserves very good reviews. This cabinet has almost the same characteristics as the NF. It lacks the No Frost function. Therefore, this model works quieter. It costs, of course, a little cheaper - about 21,500 rubles. The body color of this model is silver.

The Indesit SFR 167 NF C freezer is also quite popular with the consumer. This unit also has good functionality. he has the same as that of NF - D. But he also keeps the cold without voltage in the network longer - 16 hours. Such models cost about 23,500-24,000 rubles.

Another popular unit from this company is the Indesit SFR 167 NF C S freezer. This is one of the most expensive models in the line, equipped with an external display and electronic temperature control. Its freezing capacity is slightly less than that of NF - 20 kg / day. This modification costs about 25,500 rubles.

Freezer Indesit SFR 167 002-Wt-SNG: description

This is the most inexpensive model in the line. Its chamber has a depth of 60 cm. Its freezing capacity is 30 kg / day. It also has a super freeze function. The energy consumption class of this model is B. It has no No Frost function, and it is inexpensive - about 19,500 rubles.

How No Frost works

Almost all modern models freezers are complemented by such a convenient function as No Frost. In this regard, the Indesit SFR 167 NF is no exception.

The main difference between No Frost defrost systems and drip systems is the presence of a cooler. In such cabinets, including Indesit 167 NF, frost does not form on the walls of the chamber at all. Despite the presence of an additional fan, this model, fortunately, is not particularly noisy. Which, of course, can also be attributed to its advantages. The only thing is that it is better to store food in this cabinet wrapped in foil. Otherwise, they will wind up.

Freezer Indesit SFR 167 NF: owner reviews

In most cases, the 167 NF hosts speak well of them. The presence of the No Frost function, according to many consumers, makes them very convenient to use. There is no need to remove ice manually from these freezers. In addition, the products in their cells do not freeze with each other.

Unfortunately, sometimes a defective freezer Indesit SFR 167 can be found on the market. Reviews of these models may not be very good due to ice freezing on the grate. But in our time, no one is immune from marriage, of course.

Consumers also praise the silent operation of this model and its ability to quickly freeze large quantities of food. The apartment owners also speak very well about the design of the Indesit SFR 167 NF freezer. Many believe that this model makes the interior of the kitchen or corridor more modern and solid.

Some consumers consider not very reliable motors and fans to the disadvantages of Indesit 167 NF freezers. They break in these models quite often. However, if this problem occurs, the freezer can be easily repaired. Spare parts for it are available in most modern service centers. In addition, the manufacturer gives this freezer a one-year warranty.

Benefits of using

A huge amount is sold in supermarkets today. However, unfortunately, it is impossible to be completely sure of their environmental friendliness. It is not known how these products were grown, processed and stored. That is why the purchase of a freezer is considered by many to be quite expedient and justified today.

Indesit 167 NF cabinets are most often purchased by people who are the owners of large summer cottages or household plots. After all, having such equipment at home, you can freeze a huge amount of berries, vegetables and fruits for the winter. It is very convenient to store in and carcasses of chickens or other poultry. Often, Indesit 167 NF freezers are also purchased by owners of suburban areas involved in breeding rabbits.

Truly popular brand of household appliances Indesit offers a huge range of household appliances. It invariably attracts attention with its budget price, but is it worth saving on such a purchase? Next, I will tell you whether freezers are worthy of choice or whether it is better to immediately run into the camp of competitors.

Model	Dimensions (w * d * h) cm	Energy consumption Class (kW * h / year)	Total volume (l)
Indesit SFR 167 NF	60*67*168	Class D / 536	220
Indesit SFR 167	60*67*167	Class B / 398	271

Indesit MFZ 16	60*67*167	Class B / 398	271

I analyzed the properties and characteristics of each survey sample and was able to identify a number of characteristic features.

Their essence can be reflected as follows:

• count on average build quality right away. All freezers are produced in Russia and the Lipetsk factory has already managed to spoil the brand's reputation. I will give specific characteristics in the practical description;
• as part of this review, the brand offers electromechanical control. If we talk about freezers, in my opinion, this is the best option;
• another feature is the used refrigerant R134a. This is not the most modern solution that can be found on the market, but it is quite natural for the presented value.

Advantages and disadvantages

To evaluate all the possibilities of using Indesit freezers, I collected a little useful information, which I invite you to familiarize yourself with.

The positive aspects are revealed as follows:

• affordable price - devices from this manufacturer can be a good anti-crisis option;
• despite the fabulous cost, you will receive excellent technical characteristics that will be useful in everyday life;
• I think you will not have any problems with the installation and integration of the device into the interior;
• a freezer cabinet is the option that is most convenient in a city apartment.

I will characterize the cons as follows:

• high energy consumption - there is no need to talk about economical operation;
• limited set of additional features;
• the declared noise level leaves no hope for quiet operation.

What to look for when choosing?

How to choose the right freezer? It is enough to navigate the characteristics of this type of household appliances. I, in turn, will give some additional recommendations.

What can general characteristics say?

At first, pay attention to the type of device. In this review, we are talking about freezers. What is the threat? I will say this: it is the most rational device for storing different types of freezing and it is he who is most often chosen for installation in a city apartment.

I will not say anything about the color, and it is so clear that White color optimal for refrigeration equipment... But I would like to draw your attention to the type of case, or rather to the material of its coating. As an expert, I can recommend the choice of plastic-metal models, since such a solution is more practical and durable.

Control type

Today we are looking at models with electromechanical control. Believe me, when it comes to Indesit freezers, this solution can be considered the most rational. Feel free to choose this option if you are satisfied with all the other technical characteristics.

Energy consumption

Here the brand was unexpectedly stingy with new technologies. Some models in terms of energy efficiency are no different from Soviet household appliances. Class D is a disaster for your wallet, because the freezer will work seven days a week, day and night. I recommend turning to more economical units, in particular to class A, A + energy consumption, in extreme cases, class B will do.

Does refrigerant matter?

In truth, a freezer powered by a simple freon can last for more than a dozen years. That's why I do not see any particular obstacles to the choice of chambers with R134a compressors. Of course, isobutane is more effective, but it is very rare to find it in models at such a low cost.

Defrost type

I am often asked if it is worth overpaying for automatic defrosting. In some cases, this is actually advisable. Buy cameras with the Know Frost function if you are not ready to spend your free time on banal defrosting. But, the manual version is cheaper and requires less energy, which can also become a determining factor in the choice.

Functions and additional features

When evaluating the technical characteristics, you are sure to come across the functionality of the freezer. To make your choice easier, I will briefly describe the most common ones.

Concern Indesit offers the following opportunities:

• super freeze Is a great option. Imagine a picture: you have loaded the freezer to the full and you want to quickly turn everything loaded into stone. By turning on superfreezing, you will successfully achieve your goal, while simultaneously preserving a lot of vitamins and nutrients;
• freezing capacity- for a free-standing freezer, the performance should be decent. The higher the power, the more food you can freeze per day. Be guided by this when choosing;
• autonomous cold storage- by looking at this indicator, you can understand how many hours the device will keep cold in the event of a power outage. I think that in everyday life, models with an autonomous mode of operation for 15-20 hours are quite appropriate. Experience shows that a longer blackout is rare;
• the possibility of hanging the door- very useful option, which will help to adapt the device to the conditions of the surrounding space;
• climate class- if you plan to install the freezer somewhere on the balcony or in the garage, always consider the climate class. By the way, the uninterrupted operation of the SN class device is ensured at t + 10-32 ° С, SN-ST - at t + 10-38 ° С.

Indesit SFR 167 NF

Freezer at a glance Indesit SFR 167 NF inspires confidence. I see a traditional plastic case metal door, well-disguised handles. A miniature temperature regulator is placed on the top panel, which is why external ergonomics are exhausted. But, let's see what is interesting about the device inside.

If you open the door, you can see six compartments made of dense opaque plastic. I must say right away that it does not look very aesthetically pleasing and not as convenient from a purely practical point of view as we would like. If you forget exactly where the berries are and where the mushrooms are, you will have to open all the boxes in a row to find what you need. Not the best solution ...

Among the additional options, the manufacturer offers only quick freezing. For this, a special compartment is provided, located at the very top of the chamber. Of course, this will help improve the quality of freezing, but no more.

In practice, you can count on the following range of benefits:

• automatic defrosting;
• super freezing;
• excellent performance and battery life;
• the device is spacious and will allow you to keep a lot of useful things for a long time;
• I checked that the temperature is fully consistent with the specified settings. The unit freezes well, you can easily send almost a six-month supply of food to deep freeze and successfully store all this stuff for the whole winter;
• fabulous price for such usable volume and function of Know Frost.

Cons also have a place to be:

• low energy efficiency - the declared class D will make itself felt when paying for electricity bills;
• the compressor rumbles, the noise will be especially clearly heard when all six compartments are fully loaded;
• the thermostat is capable of presenting a lot of surprises. Let's just say count on precarious work during the hot season;
• if you are used to keeping the work of equipment under control, you will not be satisfied with the absence of any indication.

For a video review of this Indesit freezer, see the video below:

Indesit SFR 167

Another snow white the unit is equipped with an electromechanical control, which does not provide high accuracy of settings, but it is very reliable in everyday life. I cannot talk about the most economical operation, however, The energy efficiency class will definitely not go broke. Otherwise, we see a standard for the brand external design and the simplest internal ergonomics. You will have six solid boxes made of opaque plastic at your disposal. I like the rather impressive usable volume and good performance of the device.

Note, freezer is able to keep cold for 30 hours, which will perfectly protect your products from spoilage in the event of a prolonged blackout. Besides, the manufacturer has implemented a super freeze function, which has a great effect on the quality of storage of everything tasty.

I will describe the practical advantages as follows:

• the compressor, although simple, but bravo drives the refrigerant. The device freezes wonderfully, turning everything loaded inside into stone in a matter of hours;
• count on excellent usable volume;
• I like the stated specifications and price;
• the freezer is easy to transport thanks to its special castors.

The cons are:

• manual defrosting will force the device to be disconnected from the mains at least twice a year. If you often open and close the door, it will freeze the ice decently;
• it is a pity that the device is not equipped with an opening mechanism like some Germans. It will not work calmly to open the camera; it will take quite a significant effort.

Video review of the line of freezers of this type in the video below:

Indesit SFR 100

Quite a simple model from the Italian brand runs on R134a freon, which slightly hinders its performance. For example, superfreezing takes longer to implement than competing freezers.

Outwardly - it is a small plastic box, devoid of any frills. The same trend can be traced from within. H Four boxes are made of opaque plastic, and the top box is very small. I don't know what can fit in it except for a couple of ice cream buckets. Otherwise, you get a pretty decent amount of functionality.

In terms of practical benefits, they are:

• compact dimensions - you can think about placing the camera even in a small apartment;
• you will get a device with decent autonomous cold storage, performance, super freezing;
• the device will cope with its direct purpose. The service life will be 5-7 years;
• affordable price.

• high power consumption;
• in my opinion, the internal ergonomics are not well thought out;
• in fact, the door cannot be outweighed.

Indesit TZAA 10

I like this small cabinet very much. I see a great white body. I must say right away that the coating is not prone to dents and scratches. You get reliable electromechanical control. Well, let it be that you cannot adjust the temperature with an accuracy of one degree, but with the mechanics you will not get a lot of headaches caused by the peculiarities of Russian networks.

It is gratifying that the manufacturer has finally decided to improve the energy efficiency of its appliances. This copy will be very economical in everyday life. The declared energy efficiency class A + leaves no doubt about it. You will be able to open and close the chamber at least 20 times a day, the efficiency will drop to A class, no more.

According to its technical characteristics, the model is simple. Count on low performance and manual defrosting. But, believe me, this is not a problem for such a modest size.

The practical benefits add up as follows:

• the device freezes 100%. Rest assured, all products loaded inside will be turned to stone on the same day;
• the compressor does not make serious noises and clicks;
• affordable price;
• isn't that the best way for small kitchens, closets, balconies, etc.?
• excellent internal ergonomics - you will receive four transparent plastic boxes, one of which is more spacious. This is very convenient for storing bulk frost.

The cons are:

• complete absence of additional options;
• some are not ready to face manual defrosting.

Indesit MFZ 16

This sample has a rather impressive useful volume. If you are looking for a freezer for storing large supplies of autumn harvest, you can pay attention to this model. However, immediately count on manual defrosting and periodic defrosting every six months.

In terms of technical characteristics, the device is not much inferior to competing analogues, and this is against the background of such affordable price.I see high performance and a fairly long battery life of the cold, which can undoubtedly be useful in everyday life. Plus to everything the manufacturer has equipped the device with a super freeze function.

After analyzing the full range of technical and practical properties, I can give final recommendations for choosing an Indesit freezer. I would like to note that all presented samples are simple workhorses, with general drawbacks typical for the technique of this brand. You should not count on high functionality, but the whole set of meat-fish-berries-mushrooms will freeze and be preserved for sure.

If you need a compact freezer

The only small freezer model – Indesit TZAA 10- can be quite a good choice. It is the quietest and most energy efficient device, which will successfully maintain a good supply of food. It is such models, based on my experience, that are successfully used in small kitchens, in closets, in summer cottages and in other non-standard conditions. However, the camera is not without its drawbacks. Besides, for such zero functionality, the price is clearly overpriced so I recommend looking at 50cm freezers from competing brands.

When a large usable volume is required

Here you can choose from the four remaining models. If you want to save money, the first thing that comes to your eye is the device. Indesit SFR 100... However, there are a number of such shortcomings as noise, poor ergonomics, and not all technical characteristics correspond to those stated. The savings are by no means reasonable. It is advisable to pay extra and choose one of the three remaining samples - Indesit MFZ 16, Indesit SFR 167 NF, Indesit SFR 167. Personally, I would recommend the first model for selection. It is optimally suited for selection in terms of price and quality characteristics. However, only Indesit SFR 167 NF ready to please with automatic defrosting. Choose what is more important to you.

Indesit SFR 167 NF is a freezer with a useful freezer volume of 220 liters. The model is a freestanding cabinet, the body of which is covered with white high-quality plastic. The overall dimensions are 60x67x167 cm. The device belongs to the D-class of energy saving.

Indesit SFR 167 NF Review

Freezer

The freezing zone with a volume of 220 liters provides cooling down to -18 degrees. The temperature inside the freezer compartment is adjusted according to the position of the thermostat knob. A function labeled "Quick Freeze" lowers the temperature for a short period of time for instant cooling, and a system labeled "No Frost" prevents ice and frost from forming, eliminating the need to manually defrost the freezer.

For convenience, the internal space is divided into 6 compartments and consists of 3 shelves with doors and 3 drawers. Pull-out plastic containers are a nice addition, allowing you to conveniently remove deep-frozen food. This separation avoids mixing of the odors of the frozen food. The capacity for freezing food is 10 kg / day.

Peculiarities

The freezer has high-quality thermal insulation, which ensures the proper level of tightness and guarantees that the temperature remains unchanged in the event of a power outage for 16 hours. The non-inverter compressor ensures the durability of the freezer and consumes 536 kWh / year. The equipment is resistant to power failures and voltage surges. The door of this freezer, like most other modern ones, can be hung on the other side if desired. Thanks to this design, it is very easy for this model to find a suitable installation location in any kitchen layout. There is a super freeze function.
