Hanging refrigerator (17 photos)
Suspended refrigerator
Small housing makes people resort to such tricks as folding transforming tables, corner kitchens, built-in dining areas, which help to save space. However, it also happens that the space in the room is so small that even the installation of such an important kitchen equipment as a refrigerator becomes critical. In this case, you can use a convenient hanging refrigerator that is attached to the wall and does not occupy a precious living space, which is already in short supply.
Features
It should be understood that the volume of such a refrigerator can not be large, since it is still quite heavy construction. The capacity of the wall-mounted refrigerator does not exceed twenty-five liters.
However, mounted refrigerators are used not only to save space in the kitchen, but also to store medicines in medical institutions. This technique can (and even need) be used for the proper storage of cosmetics. After all, the provision of the desired temperature regime is one of the main conditions for maintaining its quality.
Models
The very first wall fridge was invented in Riga. This happened in the sixties of the last century. Such a device had two hinged doors and in its appearance resembled a cabinet rather than a refrigerator. In Russia, such models appeared only in 2003. Their manufacturer is Dainet from South Korea.
These are very compact models, the depth of which is only sixteen centimeters, which, of course, limits their use. However, this feature allows not only to hang them on the wall. These devices are even embedded in it. The volume of such units does not exceed twenty one liters. At home it can also be used as a bar for storing drinks or cosmetics. An excellent solution would be to install such a device in an office, where a roomy refrigerator is not really needed, and a small, very compact one will not be superfluous at all.
Dainet refrigerators are equipped with the Fresh Zone function. They provide antibacterial protection. Thanks to these features, it is possible to preserve the freshness of perishable foods and avoid the appearance of “fragrances”. Auto-defrosting will allow you to avoid problems with defrosting the refrigerator. Condensate on the back wall of the device flows through the channel into the pan, and the moisture heated by the compressor evaporates.
The hinged device can be embedded in the kitchen set or installed directly above the dining table. It should be noted that the mounted refrigerators are not bought very often, so their release is limited.
Among the domestic wall-mounted refrigerators such models as Sarma and League can be distinguished. The walls of these refrigerators are made of high impact polystyrene. The door of the refrigerator compartment opens upwards and is held in any position. Previously, these types of refrigerators have been combined with a kitchen table. However, as you have probably already guessed, to find such a miracle of technology now is not very simple.
The conclusion is that full-fledged wall-mounted refrigerators, designed for the kitchen, are quite difficult to find at this time. However, for small kitchens there is still a solution. To do this, you must purchase a small refrigerator that will be suitable for storing food. It is better to give preference to devices with the lowest weight, since the refrigerator itself is heavy, and if you fill it with products, the weight will increase quite strongly.
Build a shelf of sturdy material, the benefit of the stores now just plenty, so choose the one that you like and fit into the interior. Then attach the shelf to the wall. It is clear that the fasteners must be very durable and withstand the weight of the filled refrigerator. The place for this option is better to choose in the corner, as there it simply will not interfere.
Residents of regions with a cold climate resort to the following option. They construct a cabinet in the wall bordering the street. Previously, similar variants of such natural refrigerators were found in ordinary Khrushchev houses. They were located usually under the window. So the device working from natural cold turns out.
Reviews
Consumers who purchased Dainet wall-mounted refrigerators are generally satisfied with their quality. Judging by the reviews, we can note: users like that the manufacturer has provided not only quality, but also worked on the design. Indeed, among the models of Dainet refrigerators, one can also find cutting-edge options that will perfectly fit into any interior, as well as retro models that are perfect for those who used the classic style in creating the interior.
Some users note that they received such a miracle of technology as a gift and are very pleased with the originality of the idea. Although these refrigerators are designed for storing cosmetic or medicinal products, some consumers claim that they store small portions of food in them, which they do well. However, it is worth noting that experts do not recommend storing food products and cosmetics in one place, since the latter still contain various chemicals.
Consumers like the noiseless operation of these devices. Among the drawbacks, users usually note the insufficient capacity of such devices, but it is understandable, because they were originally created by the manufacturer as small-sized.
