Review of Indesit SFR 167

Freezer

The freezer is designed to store food for a large family. The chamber volume is 245 liters. To maintain full functionality, the equipment must be defrosted periodically. This procedure is carried out manually. The internal structure is divided into 4 shelves, closed with a hinged lid, and 3 drawers. The freezer capacity for freezing food is 12 kg/day. The freezer is able to autonomously maintain a low temperature for 13 hours.

Peculiarities

The temperature inside the freezing section is automatically adjusted in accordance with the position set by the thermostat knob. The Quick Freeze function reduces the temperature for a short period of time. For ease of use, the device is equipped with a reversible door. The non-inverter compressor ensures longevity of the freezer and consumes 398 kWh/year. The freezer is characterized by a super-freezing function, which ensures long-term storage of food while maintaining a temperature of -18 degrees.

A 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 to the competitors’ camp.

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

Their essence can be reflected as follows:

• Immediately expect average build quality. All freezers are produced in Russia and the Lipetsk factory has already managed to spoil the brand’s reputation. I will provide specific characteristics in the practical description;
• for the purpose 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 R134a refrigerant used. This is not the most modern solution that can be found on the market, but it is quite logical for the presented price.

Advantages and disadvantages

To evaluate all the possibilities of using Indesit freezers, I have collected some useful information, which I suggest you 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 installing and integrating the device into the interior;
• A freezer-cabinet is the option that is most convenient in a city apartment.

I will describe the disadvantages 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 appliance. In turn, I will give several additional recommendations.

What can the general characteristics tell us?

Firstly, pay attention to the type of device. In this review we are talking about freezers. What does this mean? I'll say this: This is the most rational device for storing various types of frozen food. and it is the one most often chosen for installation in a city apartment.

I won’t say anything about color, and it’s clear that white color is 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 choosing plastic-metal models, since this 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 other technical characteristics.

Energy consumption

Here the brand turned out to be unexpectedly stingy with new technologies. Some models are no different from Soviet household appliances in terms of energy efficiency. Class D is a disaster for your wallet, because the freezer will work seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I recommend turning to more economical units, in particular class A, A+ energy consumption, in extreme cases, class B will do.

Does refrigerant matter?

In truth, a freezer running on simple freon can last for decades. That's why I don’t see any particular obstacles to choosing chambers with R134a compressors. Of course, isobutane is more efficient, but it is very rarely found in models with such a low cost.

Defrost type

I am often asked whether it is worth paying extra for automatic defrosting. In some cases this is actually advisable. Buy cameras with the No Frost function if you are not ready to waste your free time on banal defrosting. However, the manual version is cheaper and requires less energy consumption, which can also become a determining factor in choice.

Functions and additional features

When evaluating the technical characteristics, you will definitely 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:

• superfreeze– a great option. Imagine the picture: you have loaded the freezer to capacity and want to quickly turn everything loaded into stone. By turning on super freezing, you will successfully achieve your goal, while simultaneously preserving a lot of vitamins and nutrients;
• freezing power– for a freestanding 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 models with autonomous operation for 15-20 hours are quite appropriate in everyday life. Experience shows that longer blackouts rarely happen;
• possibility of reversing the door– a very useful option that will help adapt the device to the conditions of the surrounding space;
• climate class– if you plan to install a freezer somewhere on a balcony or in a garage, always take into account the climate class. By the way, uninterrupted operation of an SN class device is ensured at t +10-32°C, SN-ST - at t +10-38°C.

Indesit SFR 167 NF

Freezer at a glance Indesit SFR 167 NF inspires confidence. I see a traditional plastic body, a metal door, and well-disguised handles. There is a miniature temperature controller on the top panel, which is where the external ergonomics end. But let's see what's interesting about the device inside.

If you open the door you can see six compartments made of dense opaque plastic. I’ll say right away that it doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing and is 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 features, the manufacturer offers only quick freezing. For this purpose, there is a special compartment located at the very top of the chamber. Of course, this will help improve the quality of freezing, but nothing 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 store a lot of useful things for a long time;
• I checked that the temperature fully corresponds to the specified settings. The unit freezes well, you can easily put almost a six-month supply of food into deep freezing and successfully preserve all this stuff for the whole winter;
• a fabulous price for such a useful volume and No Frost function.

There are also disadvantages:

• low energy efficiency - the declared class D will make itself felt when paying electricity bills;
• the compressor rumbles, the noise will be especially noticeable when all six compartments are fully loaded;
• The thermostat can present a lot of surprises. Let's just say, expect unstable performance during the hot season;
• If you are used to keeping the operation of your 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 one the unit is equipped with electromechanical control, which does not provide high accuracy of settings, but is very reliable in everyday life. I cannot speak about the most economical operation, however, The energy efficiency class will definitely not ruin you. Otherwise, we see standard external design for the brand and simple internal ergonomics. You will have six one-piece boxes made of opaque plastic at your disposal. I like the rather impressive usable volume and good performance of the device.

Note, The freezer can keep cold for 30 hours, which will perfectly protect your products from spoilage in case of a long blackout. Besides, The manufacturer has introduced a super freezing function, which has a great effect on the quality of storage of everything tasty.

I will characterize the practical advantages as follows:

• The compressor, although simple, does a good job of moving 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 technical characteristics and price;
• The freezer is easy to transport thanks to special wheels.

The disadvantages are:

• manual defrosting will force you to disconnect the device from the network at least twice a year. If you open and close the door frequently, a fair amount of ice will freeze;
• It’s a pity that the device is not equipped with an opening mechanic, like some Germans. It will not be possible to open the camera calmly; it will require quite a significant effort.

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

Indesit SFR 100

A rather simple model from an Italian brand runs on R134a freon, which hurts its performance a little. For example, it will take longer to implement super freezing than in freezers from competitors.

Externally – This is a small plastic box, devoid of any frills. The same trend can be seen from within. H The four boxes are made of opaque plastic, and the top drawer is very small. I don't know what can fit in it except a couple of buckets of ice cream. Otherwise, you get pretty decent volume and functionality.

If we talk about practical advantages, they are as follows:

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

• high energy consumption;
• in my opinion, the internal ergonomics are not fully thought out;
• in fact, the door cannot be reversed.

Indesit TZAA 10

I really like this small cabinet. I see an excellent white body. I’ll say right away that the coating is not prone to forming dents and scratches. You will receive reliable electromechanical control. Well, even if you can’t adjust the temperature with an accuracy of one degree, but with mechanics you won’t get a lot of headaches caused by the peculiarities of Russian networks.

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

In terms of its technical characteristics, the model is simple. Expect low output and manual defrosting. But, believe me, this is not a problem for such modest dimensions.

The practical advantages are 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 or clicks;
• affordable price;
• Isn't this the best option for small kitchens, pantries, balconies, etc.?
• excellent internal ergonomics - you will receive four transparent plastic boxes, one of which has increased capacity. This is very convenient for storing bulk frozen items.

The disadvantages are:

• complete lack of additional options;
• someone is not ready to face manual defrosting.

Indesit MFZ 16

This sample has a rather impressive usable volume. If you are looking for a freezer for storing large stocks of autumn harvest, you can pay attention to this model. However, immediately Expect manual defrosting and occasional defrosting every six months.

In terms of technical characteristics, the device is not much inferior to competing analogues, and this is against the backdrop of such an affordable price. I see high performance and quite long autonomous cold retention, which can undoubtedly be useful in everyday life. Plus, The manufacturer has equipped the device with a super freezing function.

Having analyzed the entire 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 disadvantages characteristic of this brand’s equipment. You shouldn’t count on high functionality, but the entire set of meat, fish, berries and mushrooms will be frozen and preserved for sure.

If you need a compact freezer

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

When large usable volume is required

Here you can choose from the four remaining models. If you want to save money, the device will be the first to catch your eye. Indesit SFR 100. However, there are a number of shortcomings here, such as noise, poor ergonomics, and not all technical characteristics correspond to the declared ones. The savings cannot be called 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 to choose. It is optimal for choosing based on price and quality characteristics. However, only Indesit SFR 167 NF ready to please with automatic defrosting. Choose what is more important to you.

1. such a large volume of the Know Frost freezer for a fairly normal price, there are no similar ones or for an incredible price. 2. there are shelves and drawers. 3. The suction density of the door is both good and not very good: in terms of opening. 4. In terms of noise, I personally couldn’t hear it at all, although many write that it is noisy.

It froze well. It worked quite quietly. Large volume. Low price for know frost. (controversial merit...)

Not economical
A bit noisy

a week later the fan began to rattle and the ice began to freeze. I called the repairman under warranty 5-6 times. They changed all the relays they could. It started working quietly but the ice froze. Now, after working for 1 year and 6 months, it began to growl again. I won’t call the repairmen anymore

The door is difficult to open. When opened abruptly, the entire freezer shakes and moves from its place.

I didn’t notice, it’s hard to open the door, but this is normal, it’s the same on other freezers - it’s been tested.

It is noisy, not very reliable, and there is no indication of the temperature inside.

Probably not everyone’s workmanship is excellent. After working for six months, it broke down in the very heat, completely filled with meat. in general, all the products smelled like burnt wires and tasted bitter and inedible. They didn't do the repairs and returned the money.

In hot weather, chunks of ice froze on the copper pipe at the back of the freezer. Then the ice melted and there were always puddles of water on the floor. There was much less water in the pan.
But this is not the most important drawback. But the important thing is that after four years of operation it burned out safely, and in the most literal sense of the word - the plastic inside the freezer melted and everything was covered in soot. A lot of food was missing. It's good that there was no fire. No protection inside the freezer worked.

1. The biggest drawback is the fastening of the top shelf covers. They don’t hold, they constantly fly out, it’s almost impossible to keep them closed.
2. In the first hours after switching on, it behaves inexplicably. Turns off for a long time even though the temperature has not yet reached

I would like an even lower temperature and better thermal insulation. No indication of operation, especially a thermometer.

High electricity consumption energy class D; sometimes noisy; cheap plastic drawers and compartment lids;
the door is very difficult to open, apparently due to the vacuum effect inside the chamber; Unstable operation of the thermostat in hot weather.

Review of Indesit SFR 167 NF

Freezer

The 220 liter freezer area provides cooling down to -18 degrees. The temperature inside the freezer compartment is adjusted according to the position of the thermostat knob. The “Quick Freeze” function lowers the temperature for a short period of time for instant cooling, and the “No Frost” system, preventing the appearance of ice and frost, will save you from having to manually defrost the freezer.

For convenience, the interior space is divided into 6 compartments and consists of 3 shelves with doors and 3 drawers. A nice addition are retractable plastic containers that allow you to conveniently remove deep-frozen food. This separation allows you to avoid mixing the odors of the frozen products. 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 will remain constant in the event of a power outage for 16 hours. The non-inverter compressor ensures longevity 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 to find a suitable installation location for this model in a kitchen of any layout. There is a super freeze function.
