Customers have such a huge assortment that it can sometimes be difficult to decide. We offer you to find out in detail about the "old-timer" of the household appliance industry - Whirlpool. We will tell you how good the Virpul refrigerator is, do a review of the models, as well as inform the prices and quote user reviews.
About Brand
The company hails from the United States. From the very beginning it produced household appliances, its first brainchild was a washing machine equipped with an electric shaft. In the 60s of the XX century, the first air conditioners and refrigerators rolled off the assembly line - and by the beginning of the new millennium, the manufacturer took pride of place among the four largest manufacturers of household appliances. Of course, as befits a large concern, there were some takeovers from other companies: Indesit, Maytag, Amana, Hotpoint, Bauknecht, etc.
Today, Virpul products can be found in most countries of the world, and factories have appeared not only in the States. So, in Slovakia, Virpul washing machines are assembled, and refrigeration equipment is being assembled in Poland and in Russia (in the city of Lipetsk).
Features
Whirlpool refrigerators - a combination of reliability with rich functionality and an impeccable style solution. A large assortment of appliances in each line - the opportunity to make a choice for any interior and kitchen size. You can find white, black, silver, bronze body and other colors.
Customers can purchase both a glossy and a matte model. In any case, even the most demanding person will be satisfied with the assortment.
The technical equipment of the instruments is also diverse. Innovative developments help preserve the freshness of products for a long time with minimal energy costs. Such technologies include:
- 6th Sense - “6th Sense”;
- Multi flow - multi-point type cooling system;
- Dual No Frost - “Know Frost” in both cameras;
- No Frost Fresh Control.
"Sixth Sense" suggests the presence of very sensitive sensors that pick up even slight temperature fluctuations. As the temperature rises, the sensors will signal this control system - and the cold air will go to the heat source to neutralize the warm air currents. This speeds up the cooling of freshly loaded products.
Dual no frost assumes two independent cooling circuits. One is for the freezer, the second is for fresh and perishable foods. This allows you to quickly restore the set temperature, eliminates the mixing of odors and prolongs the safety of food.
No Frost Fresh Control - This is a temperature and humidity control system. The system takes into account the degree of load of the department and the type of loaded products.
Many Virpul models are supplemented with filters that destroy pathogenic bacteria, fungal spores, and odors. This preserves the pleasant smell of products, their appearance and freshness, and most importantly - their taste.
Additional options include:
- Super Freeze mode;
- Vacation mode

- child protection function (accidental pressing);
- compartment with a temperature of 0 degrees or the "Freshness Zone".
You will learn more about the zero zone from the review “What is the freshness zone in the refrigerator”.
Another plus of absolutely all models is simple and easy-to-understand control. There are 4 main types of management:
- mechanical - time-tested classic;
- electromechanical - advanced mechanics;
- electronic - new opportunities in the management and control of equipment;
- touch - modern one-touch control.

Michael
Initially, the freezer even froze too much, everything stuck together from the cold. But then I figured out how to adjust the temperature, and everything returned to normal. Ice in molds freezes almost instantly, especially on Superfrost.
Alyona
At first I didn’t know that I needed to turn on “Increased load” before laying a large batch. And then he starts to work somehow strangely - gurgles, buzzes. The rest is always quiet. And another important point! On the case itself there was a sticker that type full No Frost (pity wasn’t preserved), and so they found a drain hole in the chamber and a tray under it, so the drip system was there. They called the store, looked at sites - everywhere they say that there can be no mistake. And in the end, she is. This does not affect the work, we like everything, but just the money was paid for one functional, and we got another.

Andrei
After the purchase, it became interesting to read reviews. Guys, I don’t know what you are trying to achieve, but we seem to be talking about different things. All the problems that you write about are either far-fetched or you are just out of luck - how else can this be explained ?! The technique is quiet - maybe you are just installing it incorrectly? You need a flat floor, the level is in the end. They hit the shelves - for what? Excellent: I put both full 3-liter jars and pots with soup. Yes, I agree that the freezer is small, but this is not a drawback - here you yourself have chosen, taken with a big one, and there would have been no problems. Yes, it sometimes freezes, you have to defrost it, but not every week, as they say. I am satisfied: quiet, the assembly is good.
Veronica
Of all the built-in models, this is the most capacious. It works quietly. Of the minuses, I note an incomprehensible and disgustingly composed instruction. The shelves are flimsy, I'm afraid to put something heavy on them. I have been using it for 2 weeks, until all I can say.

Katerina
Inexpensive option, differs well, very quiet operation. It freezes well, and most importantly - knows how to do it quickly. With the assembly of luck - Europe, Poland.

- Shelves are few, boxes are even smaller.
- There are not enough functions.
- Do not peep if you forget to close the door.

Corner Refrigerators Whirlpool
If you have never heard of corner fridges, we’ll talk a little about them. Virpul is one of the few manufacturers of such equipment. The design of the housing resembles a corner sliding wardrobe according to the principle: it is conveniently installed in the corner to save space. And the volume of such electrical appliances is impressive - about 1200 liters.
Like ordinary refrigerators, they can be electromechanical and electronic, with and without a display. As for the price, such models went on sale at a cost of 30,000 rubles to the jump in the dollar. Now it is quite difficult to find such a design in Russia, so it is hardly worth considering it as a purchase. Look at the refrigerator from the options described above if you decide to opt for the Virpul technique.
Conclusion
The Whirlpool brand inspires confidence - a long history, a huge assortment, positive user reviews and reasonable prices with good functionality. The choice is yours.
