When the Don refrigerator first appeared on the Russian market, it immediately became a sought-after and necessary product. The domestic manufacturer was able to create a high-quality and value-for-money product. Today, this brand is proof that Russian companies can produce decent equipment.
But which model should you choose? Before answering this question, we propose to understand the features of Don refrigeration equipment, to find out what parameters affect the choice of the unit. Overview best models, given in the article, will help you navigate the variety of offers and buy the right unit.
The company's marketers claim that their household appliances are manufactured using innovative technologies and latest developments. At the same time, it complies with environmental safety standards and is quite energy efficient. In particular, these words are confirmed in practice.
Household appliances of domestic production attracts affordable price, as well as the ability to easily find spare parts and components for repair if necessary
The list of unique features of Tula technology should include:
- Use in the production of Austrian compressors. Such components are not high-tech filling, but they can cope with their work for many years.
- Extensive color range. The surface of the devices is painted using high-quality compounds brought from abroad. A luxurious pattern can also be applied to the body.
- Quality accessories. In production, the company never uses low-grade Chinese raw materials. All fundamental components are ordered exclusively from market leaders. For example, these can be components, housing and electrics from manufacturers such as BAYER, ACC or BASF.
Due to the fact that DON is a full-cycle enterprise, the management has the opportunity to control each stage and track the quality of products.
Domestic refrigeration equipment has quite good starting characteristics. At the same time, it withstands strong voltage drops and shows a high coefficient of specific cold performance.
In order to finally decide whether it is worth ordering or better not to buy Tula DON refrigeration units, we will consider their advantages and disadvantages using the example of two-chamber models.
This approach will provide an opportunity to get the most complete picture of the equipment of this brand.
Among the many advantages, the following nuances deserve special attention:
- each of the considered models meets all modern requirements;
- the possibility of carrying out without the need to call the master;
- all main components, fasteners and the body are resistant to mechanical damage and are distinguished by their reliability;
- just a huge selection of colors;
- cost that will be acceptable for a buyer with any income level;
- mechanical control that can serve for decades;
- the ability to cool food at a decent level or use the deep freeze function.
There are no ideal household appliances - DON units also have their negative sides. First of all, some models are not as economical as stated by the manufacturer. In addition, the user is offered a rather limited number of functions.
Household appliances Don stands out among analogues for its spaciousness. Thanks to just a huge number of drawers and shelves, you can conveniently arrange a huge amount of products.
What to pay attention to when choosing?
An impressive range of refrigeration equipment will undoubtedly create a lot of problems for an unprepared buyer. After all, looking solely at the price and hoping for the purchase of first-class equipment is not a very reasonable and correct decision.
Before going to the hardware store, be sure to familiarize yourself with the list of technical parameters, the values of which should be guided when choosing a refrigerator.
General characteristics of the model
Below, four cooling units will be considered, the freezing compartment of which is located in the lower part of the case. To date, such a design solution is optimal and will not create problems during operation. Especially if the device will be used in an apartment or a private house.
The outer covering of the device is metal-plastic. In this case, the top layer is applied using the sublimation method.
This production technology allows you to operate the unit in absolutely any conditions. Its body is reliably protected from chips, scratches and other various mechanical damages.
The hostess does not have to defrost the refrigerator every few months. Water is collected in a special container and evaporates during compressor operation. This technique facilitates the operation of the unit
Device control method
Modern technology has two types of control - electronic and mechanical. In the case of units from the Don manufacturer, only the second option is used.
This choice was made due to the fact that domestic firms still have not learned how to make really reliable electronics that will faithfully serve for at least 5 years.
Mechanical control, in turn, makes it possible to produce truly indestructible refrigeration equipment. It is not subject to failures, and the service life is calculated in decades.
Refrigeration units of the Don brand are equipped with electromechanical options for control systems - simple, rarely refusing to work, and therefore rarely requiring repair or replacement
Energy efficiency of ТМ DON units
The amount of electricity required to operate refrigeration equipment depends entirely on the characteristics of the environment. If you constantly open the door or if it is summer outside, the energy consumption will be higher.
As for refrigerators of the Don trademark, class A is typical for them. But, as mentioned above, some models can be classified as category B in terms of level.
In terms of energy efficiency, Tula units are quite economical. For the price they will be a good choice for the home. At the same time, the amount in receipts for payment of electricity will not be excessive.
Type of cooling and performance
Models differ from each other in the way of cooling, which can be dynamic, without frost formation, and static.
Dynamic cooling. The first variety received a technical term no frost. In this case, the refrigeration units do not form condensate and snow build-up during their operation. Due to the use of a fan inside the chamber, the temperature is equal in all zones, so there is no condensate and the results of its freezing.
Equipment operating according to the “frost-free” scheme does not require mandatory defrosting. It can be carried out once a year purely for hygienic purposes. True, the energy consumption of such equipment is somewhat higher, since a fan is involved, but the shelf life of products is significantly increased.
Static cooling option used in absolutely all models of devices manufactured by DON. The peculiarity of such a system is that the temperature varies in different zones of the unit. After all, the movement of air is not stimulated by a fan.
Due to the difference in temperature, condensation forms on the walls of the device. From the walls, this moisture flows in drops from the evaporator to the condensate receiver along the back wall, where it evaporates. Therefore, the static method of freezing is also called drip.
In drip refrigeration units, an ice cap periodically grows in the freezer, which follows. However, due to the low cost of the device and economical energy consumption, Tula developers prefer the drip option so far.
The freezer of domestic refrigerators is well organized. Her inner space is divided convenient shelves and boxes. Therefore, the hostess will always be able to fold or, on the contrary, get the products she needs.
Despite the use of a relatively outdated cooling scheme, the Tula manufacturer has a lot of achievements.
For example, worldwide, as a rule, no more than 4 kg of food per day can be frozen. Devices of the Don brand manage to achieve a productivity of 7 kg, which is more than enough for domestic use.
Compressor brand and type of refrigerant
Compressors manufactured in Austria are responsible for the operation of the devices. Isobutane is used as a refrigerant. Such a combination allows you to achieve an impressive coefficient of specific cold performance. In addition, the service life of the equipment is significantly increased.
But the Austrian components are quite noisy. On average, their volume is about 45 dB. Accordingly, if this parameter is important for the buyer, then it is better to give preference to units from another company.
Secop brand compressors are used in domestic and industrial domestic refrigeration units, adapted to traditional power surges, work with refrigerants used in Russia (+)
List of additional features
As a rule, the functionality of refrigeration equipment from the Don company includes only a few basic and most necessary modes. Only some of the most expensive models can offer the user unique options or useful features.
Most often, Tula refrigerators are equipped with:
- antibacterial coating. Thanks to this, the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms will be suspended.
- The possibility of reversing the door. Such design feature allows you to install the unit in any convenient place in an apartment or private house. detailed instructions door overhang is presented in .
- temperature control. To create an optimal microclimate inside the device, a special lever is designed.
- Sturdy steel shelves. This greatly increases the life of the device. In addition, some models allow you to rearrange the shelves the way the owner wants.
Some useful accessories are built into all models. For example, many users speak positively about the oiler and the presence of a compartment for storing eggs.
Certain refrigerators of the Don brand are equipped with a special container where you can put products that have an unpleasant or pungent odor. Now you can not be afraid that the aroma will spread to other dishes
The success secret of DON refrigeration technology
In case the buyer limited budget, the choice must be approached even more responsibly in order to choose the most reliable, but at the same time inexpensive unit.
If you need refrigeration equipment with the best price-quality ratio, then DON appliances are the best choice.
The model range of the manufacturer is represented by products whose height varies from 0.9 to 2.2 m. In addition, the freezer compartment can be located both in the upper part and in the lower part. Thanks to these features, you can choose equipment for any size kitchen.
Refrigeration equipment with the Don logo is represented by a fairly extensive line, so it is not at all difficult to choose a device that is suitable for the price, design, functionality and size.

The DON R 297 refrigerator is manufactured by DON LLC in the village of Gritsovsky, Tula Region Russian Federation. Full cycle plant installs on manufactured models Austrian SECOP compressors, having excellent starting characteristics, resistance to voltage drops, high coefficient of specific cooling capacity.
Appearance
The two-meter handsome man is offered in 9 colors: white, metallic, ivory, mirror graphite, oak, beech, antique, jasmine, mahogany.
The design of the refrigerator is pleasant, without unnecessary elements, the handles are hidden. The doors can be moved to the other side, which increases the number of options for installing the appliance in different places in the kitchen.
Appliance functionality
Many housewives will be pleased with the big freezer 140 liters with 4 transparent trays, in which it is convenient to harvest meat, vegetables and fruits. Up to 12 kg of products can be completely frozen in it per day, and ice in a special tray freezes on the top shelf in 20-30 minutes.
The refrigerator compartment is also quite roomy (225 l). It has 4 shelves, and on the door there are the same number of balconies, on which 2 egg trays and a Shrovetide, which are included in the kit, are freely located.
We also note the presence of LED lighting in the cells, which is not only energy efficient, but also does not affect the temperature inside, as it is “cold”.
The refrigerator belongs to the A+ energy efficiency class, however, not the most economical, since its average consumption is 359 kW / year, but it is justified by the large volumes of chambers. But the noise during operation could be quieter, 45 dB is as much as 5 dB higher than the noise level of most similar models. However, both shortcomings are not so critical and are compensated by a democratic price.
Refrigerator DON R 297 - an inexpensive, economical, roomy family option.
