Why we bought it: very good consumption, excellent price / performance ratio and pleasing rounded shapes in the interior. This pleased my wife (clean). I keep sharp edges also more fragile, especially if the plastic is a little older. The adjustable 3 glass shelves above the vegetable compartment cover and the two adjustable Türeinhänger between bottle compartment bottom and hinged lid compartment above promised flexibility. By dispensing with a freezer should despite stronger insulation rather a little more space for cooling are available as in our bisherigem,> 20years old Philips Whirlpool KS. This has (also through the freezer) a significantly higher power consumption. In addition, outdated wire mesh shelves in the refrigerator and indeed different Türeinhänger, but only limited variations. That this is not a disadvantage, I want to show.
Before I wanted to install the new cooler of course I made a "practical test" with different content - mainly commercial bottles and tetra packs. Despite various providers here have some maximum "standard dimensions" emerged in the level:
- 34cm: 1.5l PET bottles and large 1l glass bottles
- 32cm: 0,75l wine bottles
- 29cm: 1L PET
- 28cm: 0.5l Beer Bottles
- 23cm: 1L tetra pack milk, juice
- 22cm: 0.5l PET, ketchup
- 18cm: Glass bottles for barbecue sauces, etc.
- 13cm: 0.5l yogurt cups
- 12cm: 850ml canned
- 6cm egg (no pedantry - I'll be back daruf!)
A margarine cube has an edge length of approximately 8cm, a butter tub is about 7.5cm high and an ordinary butter piece measures 11cmx8,5cm, 4.5cm - plus butter dish. The biggest bottle diameter was approximately 9.5 cm with us. The jars and cans (from 850ml) that exceed the, are usually relatively low and are not necessarily stored in the refrigerator door.
Logically, you start with the largest bottle. So below 1.5l PET. Why the solid bottle compartment (at the expense of the vegetable compartment) is about 11cm deep and therefore for large bottles a "clamping comb" needed excited first astonishment. That the first Türeinhänger does not fit into the bottom detent, is understandable. But in the second latching missing about 1-2cm in height?!? Well, I suppose the third (of four) clicks. About the bottle now about 5cm square. But now you can no longer use the second Türeinhänger! Even the first Türeinhänger has upwards only about 21.5cm to firm, sloping, shaped floor at the top of the door. No chance for 1l Tetra, not even for 0.5 l PET or ketchup in Türeinhänger! So this is so not usable !!!
So I renounce 1.5l PET in the refrigerator door and the only point 1l PET bottle in the bottom, fixed Faschenfach. In order to place the first Türeinhänger bottom, missing about 1-2cm !!! So second locking lug upwards. Now are also wine and beer bottles at the bottom. In Türeinhänger above the bottle rack now find 1-Tetra, 0.5l PET beer bottles and even space. This, however, come up against already at the top floor and therefore need to be at the forefront in the trade - not very reassuring. Thanks to the low side walls of Türeinhänger is the fast door opening Absturzgefahr! Oh yes - the second Türeinhänger is again no longer available!
Third variant in which I hold plaziere the second bottom on the top locking lug. This is, interestingly enough, the variant which is shown in most presentations. However, since the first infected Türeinhänger on the lowest notch, and then fit in the 11cm deep bottle pocket just so (1-2mm! Air upwards) the 6.8 cm thick 0.5-liter bottles of beer. The then also need to "clamp comb" against Herauspurzeln ...
Of course, they do not fit anymore, if they are to be about half empty cooled with cling closure - that makes no one.
At this point it was clear that I do not keep the refrigerator. Because if you want to use every two Einhänger, there really is no meaningful setting for me. That the cheap 6-egg laying (in the old Philips fit 2x8Eier top!) Well in all subjects around tumbles, no longer surprised. Oh yes, the eggs: If you should actually try to want to place two Türeinhänger directly above one another - not even eggs you get through the narrow slit. If you want to lay their eggs on the other hand stowed above the "butter compartment", one wonders why this subject is about 9.5 cm high, but a butter tub just barely fits in depth because of the rounded, hinged lid anyway. The upper fixed tray has a front incidentally (on images not visible) slope inward so that many container wobble. At the corners, there are, however no border, so that small glass, tubes etc. can herauspurzeln. Spawning takes place in any case not really matching halt in "butter compartment".
The glass shelves in the refrigerator compartment results in similar circumstances! The three floors can be used only useful if you use the bottom, the middle and the top of the five mounts. Otherwise, a specialist has about 6cm height - the content is no longer available - or is dispensed with a ground ... To match: If one all three floors as described below / middle / above, the spaces have headroom 12,5mm ! Then so large yogurt containers only fit the top !!!
If the reader thinks I'm Entwicklungsingeneur - no. I have listed these measures as a suggestion for the buyer tests in the development of refrigerators, they should indeed be considered in my opinion? Already about 1cm shorter distance of the level of catches, glass tops and more for a setting would allow a much more flexible schedule (without higher production costs). Who has different requirements when refrigerator contents, possibly be happy with the 88cm high Zanussi - I do not.
