The Indesit company has been represented on the Russian market for a long time and has always had stable demand. Today, trends are leaning in the other direction, which prompted me to talk about Indesit refrigerators equipped with automatic defrosting. We will find out what is good about the brand and whether its equipment is worthy of your choice.
I always try to identify a few key features in each brand's home appliances. The manufacturer participating in our review is no exception.
Look at the results I got from my analysis:
- All models studied belong to the DF series. This is a new line of two-chamber refrigerators with full automatic defrosting. Now not only the freezer is free of frost, but also the refrigerator compartment. The brand’s engineers promise the fastest and most accurate temperature distribution, but we will check the veracity of this statement in practice;
- The second thing I would like to mention as a feature is the presence of a MultiTask zone. Simply put, this is a lower door pocket, additionally equipped with a plastic cover. Perhaps some will find this useful, but as for me, this feature can be classified as just another marketing tinsel;
- All refrigerators in this review feature sliding shelves and an increased door opening radius. I don’t see any particular benefit or innovation, but I have never seen these characteristics in Indesit technology before. That’s why I’m revealing this feature to you.
Advantages and Disadvantages
So that you can fully evaluate the feasibility of purchasing an Indesit refrigerator with the No Frost function, I will give a number of general advantages and disadvantages inherent in this household appliance.
The advantages can be grouped as follows:
- whatever one may say, all two-chamber refrigerators of the Indesit DF line are functional. The device will really be useful and make your life easier;
- The manufacturer has successfully thought out the appearance of the devices. I am sure they will fit well into almost any interior;
- if you do not take into account a number of features, you can count on decent internal ergonomics of the refrigerator and freezer compartments;
- The equipment is available at a very reasonable price. Indesit refrigerators can be called a good anti-crisis option.
Among the disadvantages, I will highlight the following characteristics:
- I’ll say right away that in most regions the company’s service is rather poorly developed. This can cause headaches once the warranty expires;
- I am not happy with the electronics that the manufacturer offers. If you make a careless choice, you will feel all the delights of the Lipetsk assembly.
Selection factors
Now we turn to the question of how to choose the best refrigerator for your own use. If you are looking for a device for use at home, follow the recommendations below.
Control type
It is impossible to find space technologies in any refrigeration equipment. Therefore, the issue of management primarily concerns the aspect of reliability and durability. Believe me with electronic units from Indesit - with extremely rare exceptions - you can get a lot of headaches.
I understand that if in return you received a lot of innovative and truly unique opportunities, then you could be patient. But that's not true. Because sincerely I recommend contacting a mechanic, and approach the choice of electronics extremely carefully. Her reputation is too bad. I will also check the reliability of the electrics of each refrigerator in practice.
Energy efficiency
Constantly rising electricity tariffs make even those who have never heard of what it is think about energy efficiency. If you want to ensure completely economical operation of a two-chamber refrigerator, feel free to choose A class. Rest assured your electricity bills won't skyrocket. A+ will be especially attractive to the economical ones, but that’s not about today’s review.
Is it worth paying for automatic defrosting?
Complete No Frost eliminates the formation of frost in the refrigerator. If you are not too concerned about the hygienic cleaning of the chambers, then you can not unplug the device at all, only occasionally wiping the shelves. An excellent option for busy people, including mothers of many children or those who need a refrigerator only nominally (as an option for bachelors).
I would like to add that household appliances with full automatic defrosting are more expensive than analogues with manual defrosting, but Indesits remain available with No Frost. My experience shows that Such models are noisier, but hold and gain temperature better.
What should autonomous cold storage be like?
Full automatic defrosting does not allow for too long autonomous preservation of cold. This is due to design features. In equipment with manual defrosting, the battery life can reach up to 1.5 days. However, review models are designed for 13 hours, and this is quite enough to solve almost any emergency situations.
Super cooling and super freezing
I think you would be happy if the refrigerator preserved the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients in your food. This is exactly what both of these functions work for. You get quality cooling and freezing that's worth paying for.
Freezing power
The higher the freezer capacity, the more food you can freeze at one time. I'll say right away In terms of freezing power, Indesit devices are rather weak. But this will not prevent you from using the freezer compartment for its intended purpose, it will just take the food a little longer to freeze.
Indication
The main purpose of any indication is optimal control over the operation of the equipment. So, you will see what temperature is used in the chambers or you will be notified that the door is open on the device. Useful options, especially for absent-minded and forgetful people.
Climate class
Some people buy a refrigerator for their country house, some for their apartment, some for their balcony or garage. So, If you want to install the unit in some unusual place, always take into account the climate class. All presented models will be successfully operated at t +16+38°C. Take this into account when choosing.
I will group the disadvantages as follows:
- again, I want to warn you that Indesit refrigerators with the “no ice” function are an order of magnitude louder than competing models in this price segment;
- I don’t know why, but there is an unpleasant chemical smell coming from the new refrigerator. The issue can be solved by simple cleaning, but this nuance alarmed me. It is quite possible that the manufacturer saved on materials and used cheaper plastic or seal for the refrigerator compartment.
About the capabilities of Indesit brand refrigerators in the video:
Indesit DF 5200 S
What is it like? two-chamber refrigerator Indesit DF 5200 S? Let's immediately turn to the internal ergonomics. The refrigerator compartment is well thought out. Part of the useful space of the top shelf is eaten up by the lamp. I'm not sure that anything more or less large will fit there. But otherwise I don’t see any complaints. I am sure that even the largest saucepan with rich borscht will fit on the middle shelf, which is what many housewives require. I liked that the manufacturer offers four solid shelves on the door, – here you can certainly put the tallest cans, bottles and a lot of small things.
Let's turn to the freezer compartment. You will receive three spacious drawers and an ice tray. Moreover, all this stuff can be super-frozen, the advantages of which I have repeatedly mentioned.
If we talk about technical characteristics, the refrigerator is not inferior to other models participating in the review. It involves full automatic defrosting, good performance, and additional features.
In practice, you will experience the following benefits:
- economical operation;
- optimal functionality for any family;
- complete No Frost;
- the compressor paired with a fan works indecently quietly;
- The model copes with its intended purpose at “5+”;
- Good ergonomics and usable volume for this class.
I will list the disadvantages as follows:
- The case, I’ll say right away, is easily soiled. The stain-resistant silver color makes every print instantly vibrant;
- protection in the form of a surge protector is required, otherwise the system will complain about errors during any power surge.
Indesit DF 5180 W
Another Italian with the DF mark has every chance of becoming an indispensable kitchen assistant for a large family. This idea was prompted by the parameters of the useful volumes of the device. In my opinion, here There is a good ratio between the capacity of the freezer and refrigerator compartments. There is enough space for those who are thrifty, who prefer to prepare meat and fish for future use, and for those who cannot live without refrigerated food.
An essential feature of the model is electronic control. I must say right away that the reliability and stability of its operation is in question. However, A fair amount of headache will be removed by simply installing a stabilizer. This thing will protect the electronic filling from power surges and at least partially affect the service life.
Please note The refrigerator is well equipped with additional options. In addition, looking at the cost, you cannot say that you are paying a lot of money for the device.
The practical advantages I see are as follows:
- I can say that the operation of the unit will be quite economical and will not cause significant costs;
- you get great functionality at a fair price. I note that the device copes with cooling and freezing “excellently”;
- electronic control will allow you to set the temperature with maximum accuracy. This will have a beneficial effect on the quality of food storage;
- high capacity of both cameras - I already talked about this;
- nice design.
In everyday life you will encounter a number of disadvantages:
- The main problem with models in this series is noise. This refrigerator is not the noisiest among those reviewed, but it is not the quietest among its competitors either;
- I'm not inclined to trust the electronic content of this refrigerator. I cannot say that the device will serve you in the long term without breakdowns.
Video review of the refrigerator in the video below:
Indesit DF 5200 W
The latest sample for today does not please us with anything unique, but it is incredibly attractive due to its stability. By purchasing a snow-white plastic and metal model, you will be able to appreciate all the advantages of energy-efficient technologies and the possibility of full automatic defrosting.
Inside I see content quite familiar to the DF series. You will receive four molded door balconies, two separate compartments for storing fruits and vegetables, four durable glass shelves, one of which can be called luxurious in capacity. It is completely necessary for the needs of any family.
The freezer compartment with a usable volume of 95 liters has three transparent plastic drawers. The engineers did a good job here too on the usable volume. The capacity of the boxes will allow you to store both something small and something large.
I will group the practical advantages as follows:
- the refrigerator is functional - among the models presented here, a larger number of options are implemented;
- I think you won’t have any problems placing any products, including in large dishes;
- full automatic defrosting - No Frost is No Frost;
- affordable price - compared to other Europeans, the refrigerator is really affordable.

Conclusions
As you can see, Indesit refrigerators have a number of characteristic advantages and disadvantages. Think, wise choice, connection through surge protectors and careful operation will save you from a lot of problems. I will provide my final expert recommendations below.
Choice for thrifty people
If you want to purchase a two-chamber refrigerator with minimal financial costs, pay attention to the sample - Indesit DF 4180 W. By saving, you get an excellent unit, plus you get rid of possible problems with the electronic unit, since mechanical control is implemented here. I don’t see any particular disadvantage in functionality and ergonomics However, I advise you to consider a number of other inexpensive devices, for example, mini-fridges with freezers. By the way, Indesit DF 5200 W,costs a little more, but allows you to benefit from additional features.
If you need maximum usable volume
In this context, two models will be interesting. First IndesitDF 5200S will allow you to get a fairly impressive usable volume of the refrigerator compartment, second – IndesitDF 5180W, respectively, freezer. Evaluate which products you prefer to prepare and make your choice. However, this is not the limit for this class. If you are interested, take a look at Samsung No Frost refrigerators, they also have very remarkable models in which you can’t hear any noise at all.
- December 15, 2015The pluses are spacious chambers, both a refrigerator and a freezer. The shelves are conveniently located.

Spacious, modern design
Flaws:
Too noisy
Period of use:

- October 21, 2015The excellent design is spoiled by the noise of the No Frost system, the fan of which is worthy of better use - to sound airplane turbines in movies. Indesit engineers should have thought before using such a solution; personally, I would have liked a button to turn off the internal ventilation, but there is none. Earplugs are not included.))
Advantages:
Appearance, dimensions, capacity, design and shelf placement system.
Flaws:
Very noisy.
Period of use:
less than a month

- May 13, 2016We spent a long time choosing a refrigerator, initially we ordered a refrigerator from another manufacturer, but there was a hitch with delivery and at our own risk we ordered this model because... I read reviews that the refrigerator is very noisy. We walked and listened for a long time, but the refrigerator works quietly and does not cause any discomfort.
Let's look at his work later.
Advantages:
Design, spaciousness, quality. Not noisy.
Period of use:
several months
10 2Novakovsky Ruslan
- May 15, 2016I returned from vacation, and the old Atlant refrigerator was dead; I didn’t even bother to repair it, because... I got it for a symbolic sum - I worked honestly for a year. So I started choosing a new refrigerator from my friends, it was either LG or Bosh - the price tag in light of recent events was simply outrageous!
I thought for a long time, I chose - I was thrown from end to end. I definitely decided that I would take with NoFrost and from 185 cm and wanted to order LG, but I found this model at an affordable price - saving 15 thousand.
The reviews were confusing - mostly about the wild noise from the refrigerator (I don’t have and never had any stereotypes about the company itself). I decided to take it, the price was too tempting.
The delivery guys said that after installing it in place, it would stand for 8 hours before turning it on (although the instructions say 3 hours), but I decided to follow the advice! I installed the refrigerator according to the level and the attached instructions - don’t be lazy, there are nuances there!
Overall a great refrigerator! There is noise only when the compressor is running and it does not exceed the manufacturer’s statements!
Advantages:
1. Great design
2. NoFrost two storage rooms
3. Good price (bought on May 2016 for 20 thousand)
4. High-quality assembly
5. Lack of an overhead handle (there was a case in my life when it broke off)
Flaws:
1. Not deep compared to the previous refrigerator (with a drip system), NoFrost takes up space.
2. The wheels and legs are made of very slippery plastic - this is good for moving it, but it is very tedious to level it
3. After unpacking, the inside smelled like plastic, washed it with water and soda and the issue was resolved, in general, the manufacturer himself writes in the instructions about the need to wash it with a soda solution - for disinfection
Period of use:
less than a month
30 9Vladimirova Marina

Period of use:
less than a month

8 21Bunkov Vasily
- November 1, 2015I like the previous version better, it’s at home in the city, but we bought the new one for a mansion outside the city, I’m tired of defrosting it every week. I would have taken the previous version, but it wasn’t there. There is no adjustment of the refrigerator compartment ventilation yet.
Advantages:
Black handles, dirt is not water on the handles
Flaws:
The freezer fan is absolutely noisy.
There was a lot of frozen ice inside, I defrosted it, took apart the plastic, there was a lot of ice in there, I checked the defrost heating elements, but they didn’t warm up, it was a factory failure. The doors do not close themselves like in the previous version. I forgot to slam it, press it, the food disappeared.
Period of use:
less than a month

expectations are justified
Period of use:

3 2Shirokov Mishanya
- July 9, 2016We were looking for a compact refrigerator, the kitchen is small so that it doesn’t take up a lot of space and the freezer has several compartments; in the summer I really want to freeze some berries. Perfect size and very reasonable price. What I really like is that there is no need to defrost, there is a No frost system. It also maintains the temperature for up to 13 hours, saving a small amount of electricity. The aesthetic appearance is very important to me, the design on the outside and the glass shelves are pleasing to the eye.

didn't find it
Period of use:
less than a month
5 4Maine Super
- July 19, 2016The budget for the purchase of the refrigerator was small, I was very pleased that they bought Indesit at an affordable price, since the name is well-known. I also really like that there is a separate freezing chamber, which is also spacious, so that you can put meat, fish and fruits and vegetables separately. I was pleased with the know frost system, because you don’t want to waste precious time on defrosting, but here it doesn’t freeze at all. I also like to make rearrangements all the time, so you can experiment with this refrigerator, since the doors can be hung from one side to the other. It makes a little noise, but I don’t have musical ears, I don’t even pay attention.
Advantages:
spacious freezer, no need to defrost, no frost system.
Flaws:
a little noisy.

- July 20, 2016We bought an Indesit refrigerator a year ago, I can say that during the work it brought only good emotions, I am glad that there is a separate spacious freezer, with several departments for different products, and there is no need to defrost it. The know frost system prevents blocks of ice from freezing, glass shelves are very convenient, and unlike plastic, they hold weight better. It's a little noisy, but that doesn't spoil it at all.
Advantages:
two separate chambers, refrigerating and freezing, know frost.
Flaws:
a little noisy.
Period of use:
more than a year

- September 15, 2016Very good and functional refrigerator. We saw how my sister’s works and decided to buy the same one. I liked it. Now I even easily store food for the winter in it.

- October 7, 2016To be honest, after reading the reviews, I didn’t know which refrigerator to buy. Everyone writes that it makes loud noise, crackles, etc. And something that doesn’t make noise costs a lot of money, which I didn’t have.

- October 20, 2016I only used it for a day and found so many shortcomings.
What will happen next in the work :)
My wife and I decided to transport it to the dacha, it was just what we needed.
I will definitely buy something not made in Russia for home! This was the first and last time.
___
added 10/16/16
pros:
- good lighting, the light bulb covers the entire upper chamber.
- good, VERY good! It freezes WELL, the upper chamber is 5-8 degrees when the regulator is set below average (eco).
At the same time, the heat output to the “outdoors” is very, very low, Bravo!!
.
As for noise, the previous Westfrost refrigerator with two compressors made less noise during normal operation, but it didn’t have “nofrost” either. In general, it’s difficult to say without measurements, only by ear it’s subjective, the noise is audible, it’s in a niche (the “face” is facing out) and you can still hear it when you walk down the corridor.
Advantages:
For me personally! This is a plus - the grille/evaporator is located on the back side. Again this is just for me.
Flaws:
After a good refrigerator I immediately noticed:
- disgusting assembly, it is DISGUSTING!
- the width is 60 cm in the stated dimensions, in fact it is all 61, plus, when opened, the door comes out beyond 60 cm (I think for many this is not important, but in my case it turned out to be a surprise :)
- flipped the door, hmm... the engineers of the Soviet period did not disappear anywhere.
- the rubber bands were not properly soldered, one rubber band ended up with a hole.
- the joints under the rubber zones between the surfaces are not always at the same level.
- adjusting the legs is not very convenient, it’s just disgusting, no key, no anything, you need to lift the refrigerator and rotate the leg with your fingers. It's difficult for one.
- the thermostat knob is a masterpiece, it’s screwed in (I can’t even say otherwise) with an offset, and it’s not clear whether it’s set to “eco” or whether it still needs to be tightened.
- the bottom of the refrigerator at the joints is all covered with insulating foam.
- on the back side, the pipes to the compressor stick out too much; if not carefully cleaned or in other cases, they can be damaged.
- price!!! 25tr (10/12/16) for such a refrigerator 10 maximum!!

12 16Korshun Marina
- October 25, 2016Normal refrigerator. I like. Before this, I also had Indesit, so it was much smaller in capacity, but it worked for sure for 10 years. I can hear it a little, but I’ve already gotten used to it in a month and don’t pay attention. For me, the main thing is that it freezes well, the food does not disappear and there is no smell.
Advantages:
Large inside, stylish, freeze dry.
Flaws:
not very economical in terms of energy consumption, but this does not affect the quality of work in any way
Period of use:

- October 27, 2016I initially chose the refrigerator based on price, appearance and the presence of No Frost defrosting. Indesit DF 4180 W was ideal for me. He is really beautiful, nothing more. It looks strict and stylish. It performs its functions perfectly.
Advantages:

When they saw the parameters of this model and its external data, they didn’t even bother looking further. He is very beautiful and unusual.

- November 14, 2016How can you highly appreciate a refrigerator that cannot freeze two chickens in a day?!! For those interested, I’ll add about the disadvantages of No Frost refrigerators - reduced internal volume, increased energy consumption, increased shrinkage of unsealed products! True, there is one plus (for some - a big one) - it does not require defrosting for years!!!
Advantages:
Type - Italian brand.
Flaws:
Freezing capacity - 2 kg. per day! (usually 4-5 kg!) Noise - 43 dB! (and this is almost 2 times louder than the usual 40 dB!)
Period of use:

- October 3, 2016I just bought it, connected it, my review is my first impressions, I will add more in the future. So far everything is fine, most of all I am afraid of the reliability of the Chinese compressor, time will tell. After a month of use, I make an addition: it freezes very well, the twist in the refrigerator compartment is enough for less than half, as one of the reviews said when the refrigerator is in a certain position, the plastic container for collecting water begins to rattle. And also a very short cord - about a meter and a half, but it was enough to fit just right.

- February 22, 2017I recently purchased a new Indesit refrigerator. I was hoping to buy something budget-friendly, but didn’t invest a bit. We had to expand the budget a little. It's not noisy, but you can hear it working. It doesn’t bother me, at least it doesn’t interfere with my sleep, and during the day I don’t pay attention to whether it makes noise or not. If it doesn’t catch your ear, it means it doesn’t make noise). The shelves are comfortable, everything is fine. I recommend it.

- March 2, 2017Broke on the 7th month. After the purchase, it sat for some time and at the time of the breakdown (the freezer broke), the warranty (1 year) was no longer valid.
They called 2 different masters. There is only one verdict - freon has leaked, the location of the leak is unknown. Either replace the aluminum tube with a copper one (about 10,000 rubles), or throw it in the trash.
They said it was most likely just bad luck.
Advantages:
Laconic. Normal shelves. Convenient freezer. We were happy with the purchase.

- March 11, 2017I just bought it, connected it, my review is my first impressions, I will add more in the future. So far everything is fine, most of all I am afraid of the reliability of the Chinese compressor, time will tell.
After a month of use, I make an addition: it freezes very well, the twist in the refrigerator compartment is enough for less than half, as one of the reviews said when the refrigerator is in a certain position, the plastic container for collecting water begins to rattle. It comes into contact with the colessor body, and when it vibrates, it makes quite a loud noise. I solved the problem by inserting a silicone gasket between the collection container and the compressor
And also a very short cord - about a meter and a half, which was enough, but just short.
Six months of use, it seems to work. I measured the power consumption and it turned out to be about a kilowatt per day, which is a lot; an old turquoise of the same size but without NoFrost cuts half as much. I recommend this refrigerator to those who don’t mind paying 400 kilowatts of electricity per year.
Advantages:
NoFrost function in both compartments
Beautiful external and internal appearance
One of the most affordable with similar functionality
Flaws:
Chinese compressor
A bit noisy - about 50-55 dB
Not very convenient to use: the freezer drawers extend no more than 15-20 centimeters, so to pull them out you have to open the doors more than 90 degrees

- June 21, 2017Great design! Laconic and stylish! Tall, takes up little space. Freezes perfectly at medium temperature (eco)! The volume of the refrigerator is ideal, the size of the freezer and refrigerator compartments is optimally selected. For a family of 3-4 people this is quite enough. SHELVES - they are made of thick glass, rearranged, pulled out (there is a limiter and they will not “crawl out” all the way and will not fall). Convenient bottle clip. Forms for ice, eggs.

The volume and capacity are sufficient, there are no protruding elements, which personally suits me very much, it has a quite presentable appearance and discreet style, without unnecessary bells and whistles (in the form of LCD displays), I don’t see...

3 0Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: Compact, not huge, nice color, no stupid rustic handles, but opens conveniently, light doors, very quiet, consumes little electricity and cools very well.
Disadvantages: No shortcomings identified.
Comment: Initially, there was a choice between Beko and Indesit, but it turned out from the craftsmen that Beko was going to the trash heap after a year, because it did not last beyond the warranty period, and could not be repaired due to the quirks of its Turkish engineers, that is, it settled on Indesit , with full no-frost, but this particular model, because it is the most compact 167 cm. It doesn’t make sense to buy more expensive, because the compressors are of the same brand. With great difficulty, it turned out that there could be no other colors, because the letter W at the end is white, that is, white. The question is, is it impossible to indicate this right away in order to avoid misconceptions and hassle? No, you can’t, it says “Basic” color, that is, you have to guess it yourself. Well, I had to take the white one, and by the way, it’s very successful, very beautiful, not hospital-grade, but milky white, you just don’t need anything else, but you can’t look at it on the website, it’s not allowed according to the regulations. I waited 4 hours, turned it on, I was surprised by the quiet operation, I expected it to get cold by the morning, but I was completely wrong in my expectations. This is just some kind of beast, exactly an hour later it was -15 in the freezer, about +3 at the top. That is, better than any expectations, that is, after about 1 hour 15 minutes it already began to turn off, at least, let’s load the products.. 3 hours after turning it on in the freezer -20, and at the top + 1 and at this point I turned it down turn it to minimum, because even the middle position of the ECO is a little cold for me. Holds the cold well, stays paused for a long time, I also liked it. In short, for the first day there were very positive impressions.

Svyatoslav Rudolfovich O.
Pros: NoFrost Convenient size. You can place something on the refrigerator. Large freezer for supplies Beautiful Price
Disadvantages: Noisy compressor There are some ergonomic flaws
Comment: I'll start with ergonomics. 1. The handle is low, so you have to bend over to grab it, which is very inconvenient, so I’m already used to opening it by the side edge of the door. 2. To remove boxes from the freezer, you have to open the door more than 90 degrees. This means that you can no longer place it sideways to the wall. I read that in NoFrost refrigerators the fan is constantly humming. So here it does not work all the time and is quite quiet. But the compressor is quite noisy.

Advantages: Initially I was attracted by the price of the refrigerator. Then they noted the high quality of the components and its performance.
Disadvantages: none as such
Comment: I have been using the refrigerator for more than a year and a half. I’ve already forgotten what defrosting is. No snow or condensation accumulation on the back wall. All products are preserved perfectly. The refrigerator is fresh, there is no unpleasant smell since the purchase itself. Works quietly. It freezes well.

Advantages: The best price-quality ratio for refrigerators of this size and group!
Disadvantages: no
Comment: An excellent refrigerator throughout, the shelves are easy to clean, the glass is well made, the noFrost system is beyond praise, it cools very well and evenly, the chamber freezes simply excellent, it freezes very quickly in the most economical eco-friendly mode with low power consumption. Everything is 5 after a year of use!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: No need to defrost. From the very beginning of its operation it does not produce noise. Convenient integrated door handles. The temperature is maintained very well
Comment: Fully worth the price. Although it is not particularly large in size, in principle, the volume is quite enough for an average family. The volume of the freezer is absolutely gigantic; we keep mushrooms and berries there throughout the winter.

Vladimir K.
Pros: Large, good quality, freezes well. As an indicator, the level is below the eco level, and the zucchini is so frozen that your hand is a little cold. You need to get used to placing products in certain areas. In general, simple, no frills, comfortable.
Disadvantages: 1. The compressor is quite noisy. I never paid such attention to old refrigerators, but I had to pay attention to this one on the first night. Another thing is that noise is a matter of habit and you get used to it in a month. 2. The handle in the door - on the one hand this is good, but it would be better on the side, the hand is always reaching there to open or close it. 3. There is no backlight in the freezer - well, this is kind of a wish, but still.
Comment:
Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: No frost Price/quality
Disadvantages: Not assembled perfectly. But I repeat, for that kind of money there is nothing close from other manufacturers.
Comment: The refrigerator is excellent for the money. Cost 15 thousand including promotional codes and cashback. For that kind of money I got nofrost in the freezer and refrigerator from a good company. The refrigerator itself is very simple. There is only one control knob, mechanical, there are no more buttons or knobs. There are no displays or sound signals. The doors are hung (I haven't tried it, but there are holes). The refrigerator door is 59cm wide. The refrigerator itself is 59.65 wide (the specifications say 60 wide). The refrigerator compartment is small but functional. For example, on the second shelf of the door, it is possible to place 12-15 liters of milk in a cardboard bag, because... milk on the shelf is placed end first, i.e. The shelf is wide. A large saucepan also fits. Before this, I had a larger refrigerator, but it fit smaller, and something large in height didn’t fit at all; I had to pull out the shelf. Noisiness – not very quiet, not very noisy. Average noise. There is only one compressor here. And you can hear it if you listen. You can't hear it outside the kitchen door. The noise is not strong, as many people write. It doesn’t irritate me, the refrigerator has been there for several days and I don’t notice it anymore. The freezer compartment is large, three drawers.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: the first refrigerator that I am not afraid to keep with the door open for a long time. It does not begin to defrost and does not lose the cold that it has developed. Same with the freezer. The food does not start to melt.
Disadvantages: handles should have been integrated on the sides rather than at the bottom of the refrigerator door
It is difficult to imagine a modern kitchen without a refrigerator. With its help, you can preserve food much longer, freeze it or cool it quickly. Numerous home appliance stores offer customers a huge variety of models from different brands. Buyers often choose the Italian company Indesit. In this article we will look at the Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator, customer reviews about it, its characteristics, cost, as well as appearance and interior design.
A little about the manufacturer
The Indesit company is an Italian brand that specializes in the production of high-quality household appliances for the kitchen. It occupies a leading position in European markets, including Russian. Net profit from product sales is approximately 90 million euros per year. Kitchen appliances of this brand, including the Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator, are produced in 14 factories located in Italy, Poland, Russia, Turkey and the UK. The 2 largest Russian factories are located in Lipetsk. Refrigerators from this company are sold under the Indesit and Hotpoint-Ariston brands. About 30% of buyers in Russia choose Indesit equipment. In the coming years, it is planned to open another plant in Lipetsk, which will produce cookstoves.
The company itself was opened in 1930 and was called Industrie Merloni. Its founder was Aristide Merloni, who sold gas cylinders, electric water heaters and scales. It acquired its name only in 1985. Over the years, the company has received many prestigious certificates confirming the quality of its products. The company annually puts up for sale new models of refrigerators, dishwashers, and cookers, equipped with the most modern functions.
Main Features
The two-chamber refrigerator Indesit DF 4180 W has been very popular among buyers in recent years. The freezer compartment is located at the bottom. It is considered a fairly roomy model, because its internal volume is 298 liters. Of this, 223 liters are in the upper refrigerator compartment, and the remaining 75 liters are in the freezer. You don't have to defrost the device, because it is equipped with an independent No Frost defrosting system. The refrigerator has one compressor (an outdated model), which is responsible for cooling both chambers. Energy consumption class - A. This allows you to significantly save electricity costs when operating the device. On average, a refrigerator consumes about 364 kWh per year.
Indesit DF 4180 W is a modern model loaded with high quality freon. Thanks to it, the noise level is reduced to 43 decibels. The refrigerator is capable of freezing up to 3 kg of food per day. It has a fast freezing mode, by turning it on you can lower the temperature in the freezer to -24 degrees in the shortest possible time. However, the refrigerator does not have a system to make ice. In the event of a sudden power outage, food will not spoil within 13 hours.
Appearance
The Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator, a review of which can be read in our article, is traditionally available in white. The built-in freezer handle is painted black, giving the model a stylish, modern look. The height of the device is 185 cm, width is 60 cm, and depth is 64 cm. This is a rather narrow model that is suitable for installation in small kitchens. The weight of the refrigerator is 66 kg. The device has 2 removable doors, which can be reversed if necessary. This function gives customers the opportunity to independently choose the direction in which the refrigerator will open. The logo of the Indesit company is traditionally depicted on the top door. The unit has adjustable feet at the bottom that can be used to level it on the floor to reduce noise levels.
This model, made in a classic style, is suitable for any kitchen. It is also worth knowing that new refrigerators are usually decorated with advertising stickers, which buyers can remove at any time.
Interior design
The interior design of the Indesit DF 4180 W is also made in a classic style. The upper chamber is made of white plastic. It has 3 shelves made of impact-resistant transparent glass. They slide out easily, allowing you to easily get the necessary food products. There are also several fasteners that allow you to change the height of the shelves. At the bottom of the refrigerator there are retractable containers for fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs. There is a shelf on the door for storing eggs and drinks. When you open the top door of the refrigerator, you can see the mode switch. With its help, you can adjust the temperature of the upper and lower chambers and enable quick freezing. This refrigerator is equipped with an energy saving feature. All device switches are mechanical, so accidentally switching on one mode or another is simply impossible.
The lower freezer is equipped with three pull-out drawers, which are equipped with convenient handles. The containers are made of durable plastic. The chamber also contains a mold for making ice.
No Frost System
The Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator has a modern No Frost defrosting system. The instructions for the device describe the principle of its operation. The technology prevents ice or frost from appearing on the walls of the refrigerator. Through a vent located on the back wall, freon enters the chamber, which maintains uniform cooling throughout the refrigerator. The temperature difference on the lower and upper shelves is only 2 degrees. In such conditions, products will be stored longer and retain their taste better. Ventilation allows the temperature to be restored more quickly after opening the refrigerator doors for a long time.
However, this substance dries out foods greatly, so they must be packaged before refrigeration. Don't think that you won't have to defrost your refrigerator. A device with No Frost technology must be disconnected from the power supply at least once a year. Another disadvantage of this system is the increased noise of the fans. Models with drip or manual defrosting technology tend to be much quieter. In addition, a refrigerator equipped with No Frost will cost a little more than other devices.
Warranty period
As a rule, the warranty period for the Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator is 1 year. During this time, you will be able to identify possible manufacturing defects. Some stores provide an additional warranty for a fee. If a manufacturing defect is detected, the buyer has the right to contact the Indesit service center and demand repair or replacement of the device. However, not all breakdowns can be fixed for free. For example, replacing a light bulb in a refrigerator is not covered under warranty. You should not count on free repairs if the buyer himself is to blame for the breakdown. The service life of this refrigerator model is 7 years, but buyers claim that it works much longer.
Operating rules
Correct installation of the refrigerator and its further operation is the key to the long life of the device. The instructions describe in detail the basic rules for using the Indesit DF 4180 W. The room in which you plan to install the refrigerator should not have high humidity, so the kitchen must be ventilated frequently. Do not place the device in bathrooms or basements. When installing, do not press the refrigerator close to the wall. The distance between them should be approximately 5-10 cm so that the air movement from behind is not blocked. It is not recommended to place the device near stoves and ovens, and you should also avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. You can turn on the refrigerator after installation only after 2-3 hours. Also, before using it, you need to wash its walls and shelves with a baking soda solution. Once turned on, you can put food in the refrigerator. Do not block the fan of the No Frost system, so as not to cause a decrease in the temperature in the chamber.
Strong-smelling foods should be stored in closed containers or tight bags to prevent unpleasant odors from forming in the chambers. The refrigerator can be washed with a baking soda solution or a neutral detergent. When cleaning, use a sponge or soft cloth. If you plan not to use the device for a long time, it is recommended to turn it off, defrost it, wash it thoroughly and dry it. Its doors should be left open to avoid the appearance of unpleasant odors and mold. The instructions also indicate that you should not store onions and garlic, bananas, potatoes, citrus fruits and root vegetables in the refrigerator. You should also not leave containers with liquid in it without a lid.
Refrigerator cost
A good refrigerator is not a cheap pleasure, so not all people can afford to buy it. The price for the Indesit DF 4180 W model is lower than for similar devices from other brands. The cost of such a refrigerator will also depend on the region. As a rule, devices are sold at a higher price in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Here they will cost approximately 22,000 rubles and more. In other regions, the price may drop to 19,000 rubles. In addition, many retail chains provide good discounts to customers during sales, so you can buy a refrigerator even cheaper. Its cost, on the contrary, will increase the inclusion of additional services (insurance, extended warranty). Also, some stores charge for delivery. It will cost about 1000-2000 rubles. In addition, the device will cost more if you buy it on credit. In this case, you will not only have to pay for the refrigerator itself, but also additional interest.
Who is this refrigerator model suitable for?
The Indesit DF 4180 W refrigerator, the price of which is considered budget-friendly, is perfect for small families consisting of 2-4 people. A spacious freezer allows you to store many products at the same time, but the refrigerator compartment does not have large dimensions. Due to the No Frost system fan, which cannot be closed, there is little room for food. The modern design of the refrigerator allows it to be installed in any kitchen. Classic white color goes well with any shade. The small size of the device makes it an excellent option for cramped kitchens. The refrigerator is considered a narrow model, so it will fit even into small doorways.

Indesit DF 4180 W: negative reviews
As mentioned above, the refrigerator receives a lot of positive reviews, but it is not without its drawbacks. Quite often, buyers come across defective models, which subsequently have to be either repaired or replaced. This greatly spoils the experience of purchasing a new thing. In their reviews, people also point out the following shortcomings in the operation of this device:
- Loud noise. Many users consider this to be the main drawback of the refrigerator. The rattling noise does not go away when adjusting the feet. Sometimes noise can be heard in neighboring rooms.
- The legs on which the refrigerator stands are made of slippery plastic. Because of this, it is difficult to install the device in one place, because they instantly move out. In addition, buyers note that the legs break quickly.
- After purchase, the smell of plastic remains in the refrigerator for some time., which does not disappear after washing.
- Dim lamp in the refrigerator compartment, which had to be replaced after purchase.
- The doors do not close tightly. If you do not press them, they will not close on their own, like other refrigerator models. Because of this, products may spoil.
Drawing conclusions
After reading reviews of the Indesit DF 4180 W, a review of its technical characteristics and external data, we can conclude that this refrigerator is an excellent choice for those people who want to save money on their purchase. Modern design, dry defrosting technology, convenient operation are combined with a low cost of the product. At the same time, it is not recommended to buy it for communal apartments or studios. Excessive noise can interfere with relaxation or sleep at home.
- April 15, 2016In general, the refrigerator is good, especially for the money, large freezer, design, but the operating noise cancels out all the advantages.
Advantages:
Excellent design, strict, laconic, nothing superfluous. Price.
Flaws:
The main disadvantage of the refrigerator is its noise. Very noisy, makes a lot of incomprehensible and most importantly unpleasant sounds. Don’t even think about putting it in a studio apartment, you just won’t fall asleep. Inconvenient feet for adjustment.
Period of use:
less than a month

8 19Kostyanik Vladimir
- August 7, 2016Advantages:
Big, good, freezes well. As an indicator, the level is below the eco level, and the zucchini is so frozen that your hand is a little cold. You need to get used to placing products in certain areas. In general, simple, no frills, comfortable.
Flaws:
1. The compressor is quite noisy. I’ve never paid such attention to old refrigerators, but I had to pay attention to this one on the very first night. Another thing is that noise is a matter of habit and you get used to it in a month.
2. The handle in the door - on the one hand this is good, but it would be better on the side, the hand is always reaching there to open or close it.
3. There is no backlight in the freezer - well, this is kind of a wish, but still.
Period of use:
several months
15 2Oskolkov Svyatoslav Rudolfovich
- March 24, 2017I'll start with ergonomics.
1. The handle is low, so you have to bend over to grab it, which is very inconvenient, so I’m already used to opening it by the side edge of the door.
2. To remove boxes from the freezer, you have to open the door more than 90 degrees. This means that you can no longer place it sideways to the wall.
I read that in NoFrost refrigerators the fan is constantly humming. So here it does not work all the time and is quite quiet. But the compressor is quite noisy.
Advantages:
NoFrost
Convenient size. You can place something on the refrigerator.
Large freezer for supplies

Flaws:
Noisy compressor

Advantages:
Full No Frost.
Flaws:
A relative disadvantage is the height of the refrigerator. The relativity is that I have not seen refrigerators with the Full No Frost function with a height below 167 cm, so, by and large, this is the most compact possible solution.

- January 19, 2018Initially, there was a choice between Beko and Indesit, but it turned out from the craftsmen that Beko was going to the trash heap after a year, because it did not last beyond the warranty period, and could not be repaired due to the quirks of its Turkish engineers, that is, it settled on Indesit, with full nofrost, but this particular model, because it is the most compact 167 cm.
It doesn’t make sense to buy more expensive, because the compressors are of the same brand.
With great difficulty, it turned out that there could be no other colors, because the letter W at the end is white, that is, white.
The question is, is it impossible to indicate this right away in order to avoid misconceptions and hassle? No, you can't, it says "Basic"...

- September 4, 2019The optimal size for a bachelor’s den or a family of 2-3 people (so as not to make supplies for six months in advance and not throw away half of them because you didn’t remember in time what you put there, but blocked it with something else). No frost - so as not to bother with defrosting. Nice appearance. Without unnecessary bells and whistles.
