A freezer is often a necessary technique in the house. They usually buy it when it is necessary to store a large amount of meat products or preparations for the winter. Of course, when choosing such a relatively expensive unit, you should be more careful. First of all, when buying, you should look at the brand of the manufacturer of the freezer. There are many companies that produce high-quality household appliances of this type. And at the same time, one of the best, according to consumers, is "Indesit". This manufacturer produces several models of freezers with different technical characteristics. And one of the most popular among consumers is NF.
The company "Indesit", which produces these interesting models, has existed on the household appliances market since the 30s of the last century. It was originally called Merloni Elettrodomestici. 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 LPG cylinders. In 1975 the company was renamed Indesit. Today it is one of the largest manufacturers of household appliances in the world. On the Russian market, its products, including refrigerators, are in truly colossal demand.
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. Many apartment owners believe that it is simply impossible to find a freezer of the same quality at the same price today.
In this model, only one rather voluminous one is provided. Best of all, this unit is suitable for installation in a medium-sized kitchen.
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.
The budget freezer Indesit SFR 167 has a rather wide functionality. Compared to other inexpensive models, it has one important advantage. The fact is that the Indesit SFR 167 NF has a super freeze function. Lovers of healthy food consider it especially convenient. This function freezes food in the cooking compartment very quickly. And therefore, all vitamins and useful microelements, without exception, are preserved in them.
Provided in Indesit SFR 167 NF and the self-defrosting function No Frost. This means that you do not need to manually remove the ice from its chamber.
In operation, the budget Indesit SFR 167 NF freezer-cabinet, thus, is quite convenient. At least it has a super freeze function, No Frost and a power-on indicator. Other technical characteristics of this freezer can be found in the table.

The width and depth of modern household appliances start from 50 cm. The Indesit SFR 167 NF model has dimensions of 60: 66.5 cm. This means that a fairly large amount of food can be stored in its chamber. The total volume of this model is 271 liters. It is believed that such freezers are just ideal for the simultaneous storage of meat products weighing up to 80 kg. For all sorts of greens and vegetables with the same mass, of course, the volume is greater. But all the same, a lot of them can fit in such a chamber.
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 on the street, but also in the apartment. Of course, this has a pretty serious impact on the operation of the freezer. That is why, lately, manufacturers have begun to indicate on each model, including its climatic class. This parameter determines under what conditions 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 can therefore be installed in a corridor that is not equipped with a heating radiator, or even in a basement.
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 anyway faster.
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.
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 item of the family budget, it is better to think about purchasing a freezer of the highest energy efficiency class (A ++, A + or A with thick walls).
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.
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 earned 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 case 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.
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.
Almost all modern freezer models are complemented by such a convenient function as No Frost. In this regard, 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.
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.
The disadvantages of Indesit 167 NF freezers are considered by some consumers to be not very reliable motors and fans. 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.
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 today to be quite appropriate and justified.
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 | |

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:
To evaluate all the possibilities of using Indesit freezers, I have collected some useful information, which I invite you to familiarize yourself with.
The positive aspects are revealed as follows:
I will characterize the cons as follows:
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.
Firstly, 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 won't say anything about color, and it is clear that white 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 the choice of plastic-metal models, since such a solution is more practical and durable.
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.
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, as 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.
In truth, a freezer powered by a simple freon can last for more than a dozen years. So 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.
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.
When evaluating the technical specifications, you are sure to come across the functionality of the freezer. To make your choice easier, I will briefly describe the most common of them.
Concern Indesit offers the following opportunities:
Freezer at a glance Indesit SFR 167 NF inspires confidence. I see a traditional plastic case, a metal door, well-disguised handles. A miniature temperature regulator is placed on the top panel, which is why external ergonomics is 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 this 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:
Cons also have a place to be:
For a video review of this Indesit freezer, see the video below:
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 the 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. Moreover, 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 cons are:
Video review of the line of freezers of this type in the video below:
Quite a simple model from the Italian brand runs on R134a freon, which slightly hinders its performance. For example, superfreezing will take 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 other than a couple of ice cream buckets. Otherwise, you get a pretty decent amount of functionality.
In terms of practical benefits, they are:
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 cons are:
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 counterparts, and this is against the background of such an 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.
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 these 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. Moreover, for such zero functionality, the price is clearly overpriced so I recommend looking at 50cm freezers from competing brands.
Here you can choose from the four remaining models. If you want to save money, the first thing that catches 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.
