Zanussi ZBB 47460 DA - does size matter?
As it turned out, large dimensions and high quality are mutually exclusive values for this model. It would seem that such a reputable brand is famous for its modern, stylish and reliable technology. But it seems that the ZBB 47460 DA was created so that users would quickly run to the store for a new model.
Zanussi ZBB 47460 DA is quite expensive. This device is of the side-by-side type and has a really spacious chamber. The functionality is also impressive - A +, Know Frost system, turbo freezing and super cooling modes. ( See also: Rating of the best refrigerators with the No Frost system according to customer reviews )
The Zanussi ZBB 47460 DA was ranked among the worst for a number of reasons. The main weak point of the refrigerator is the door hinges. There are 8 of them, quite a high cost of replacing them, about 1,500 - 3,000 rubles apiece, and they break often, once every 4-6 months. Also, the owners of this refrigerator complain of a loose fit of the doors and, as a result, water leakage onto the floor. It is also inconvenient that you have to open both doors at once with both hands - sometimes it is physically impossible!
Another major drawback is the shelves. Non-adjustable in height - in the refrigerator, and made of grates - in the freezer.

Bosch KIS38A51 - what about the vaunted German quality?
This is the question unhappy owners ask themselves. Many were not averse to paying a higher price in order to have a minimum of operational problems. However, in reality, the hinges have to be changed regularly. The reason is the heavy painted facade of the model, which makes the doors heavier.

The advantages of KIS38A51 include the energy efficiency class - A +, high freezing power, temperature indication, drip defrosting of the refrigerator. But in fact, you have to regularly clean the drain holes or fish the vegetable box out of a puddle. Regular, time consuming and very expensive door hinge replacement. Deformation of the seal. Poor isolation of chambers.For these reasons, the Bosch KIS38A51 refrigerator was included in our ranking of the worst. If you want this whole set of problems for yourself - then put Bosch KIS38A51 in the kitchen.

NORD 275-010 - cheap and very cheerful
This is a budget model of a two-compartment refrigerator. Average capacity - 210 l, low freezing capacity - 4 kg / day, A-class energy efficiency.
However, this refrigerator got into our ranking of the worst for a reason. Buyers complain about the unreliable compressor, which over time begins to freeze constantly and smears a huge fur coat on the freezer. Energy consumption increases and over time the compressor breaks down. ( See also: How to choose a voltage stabilizer for a refrigerator )
The shelves of the device are also poorly made - bad plastic instantly deforms, bends and even breaks. The insides of the refrigerator also crack in speed after starting to work. In the most unsuccessful instances, water constantly flows down the back wall of the refrigerating chamber, and there is also the problem of insufficient injection of freon into the device.
Of course, this refrigerator is not very expensive, but for that kind of money you can find a stronger and more reliable model. In a word - a miser pays twice, and if you wanted to save money and bought a cheap NORD 275-010 - get ready to contact the service centers and look for a good refrigeration master.
Liebherr CBNesf 3913: high price - no guarantee of quality
Unfortunately, this truth is confirmed by the owners of the Liebherr CBNesf 3913 refrigerator. Buying this roomy and stylish looking appliance will cost you a pretty penny. In return, you get a roomy and powerful appliance with a wide range of functionality, dry and wet zones of freshness, indication of operation, long-term preservation of cold and convenient defrosting of the freezer.
But also, one not at all beautiful day, the refrigerator will simply fail. Often, this happens almost immediately after the end of the warranty service. Alternatively, there will be clogging of the compression pipes, refrigerant leakage, depressurization and a huge bunch of smaller problems - cracked casing, broken shelves and fixtures, high noise level during operation. It is not always possible to carry out repairs, but a lot of headaches are provided to you. The worst of the expensive refrigerators is definitely the Liebherr CBNesf 3913.

GORENJE NRK 61 JSY2B - cat in a poke
Another famous brand, GORENJE, will continue our rating of the worst refrigerators. In general, the equipment of this manufacturer has always had an optimal price-quality ratio. As a rule, refrigerators with this logo are quite functional, productive and last a very long time. But the NRK 61 JSY2B model, despite all its advantages (300 l, A +, freshness zone, autonomous cold support, super freezing), turned out to be a frank failure.
First of all, the owners of this refrigerator complain about loud strange sounds that the device makes during operation. Also, over time, the seal on the doors breaks down and the tightness of the door closing has to be constantly monitored. It was lucky if the refrigerator lasted longer than the warranty period, since all other breakdowns cannot be repaired. Usually, the compressor of the device fails, microchips on the control board burn out, or refrigerant pipes begin to leak. Many users pay attention to the extremely negligent attitude towards assembling the refrigerator. Considering the cost of the model, the manufacturer could pay more attention to the quality and reliability of its product. ( See also: How to replace the seal on the refrigerator yourself )
Perhaps these 5 models have caused the largest number of complaints from users. Of course, sometimes on the Internet you can read positive reviews about these refrigerators, but it's like a lottery - you guess with the purchase of a good appliance or not. Do you really want to participate in it?
In order not to get trapped in choosing a refrigerator for home, pay special attention to the technical characteristics, device, model assembly. Take an interest in the possibility and terms of service provision, consult directly with the people who are engaged in the repair of such equipment. We wish you only good shopping and may your chosen appliance not be included in the rating of the worst refrigerators of 2019, but will serve you and your family for a very long time and effectively.
