Toshiba refrigerators: review of the best models, user reviews and photos

In Russia, Toshiba refrigerators have been known for a long time. The technique of this brand has its admirers and connoisseurs. With each passing year, there are more and more of them. The famous corporation from Japan asks for its products rather high price, but at the same time offers the goods of the highest quality, manufactured using the most advanced technologies.

It is worth remembering that the history of the brand began with the production of refrigerators and equipment for them. Toshiba Corporation in 2011 offered the Russian buyer ten models of refrigerators (stand-alone). All of them are combined, eight of them are widely used in Asia, the Top Mount form factors, having a freezer compartment at the top, and two multi-door models (as they are called in the company). It was rather risky, because in Russia the models with the top freezer are not too popular.

Hybrid Plasma System

One of the key developments of the company specialists consider Hybrid Plasma - the system for the destruction of ionization and bacteria. It is designed to preserve clean air in the refrigerator, decomposition of ethylene, which greatly accelerates spoilage of fruits and vegetables.

Obvious traces of this effect of gas on products were observed practically by all mistresses. Vegetables frown, turn black, the rind crackles. Hybrid Plasma cleaves ethylene into water and carbon dioxide. Ions (negatively charged), which are generated by the system, completely destroy bacteria.

The Cool Air Wrap system in parallel creates a stream of purified air that clears the fridge of odors. All this allows the products to be kept fresh much longer than in conventional units.

LED Lighting

Refrigerators "Toshiba" for a long time already do not have incandescent lamps which many firms continue to apply for illumination. As it turned out, they consume not so little, as it seems, energy and allocate unnecessary for the technology of heat. Engineers and designers "Toshiba" in their mechanisms replaced them with LED-lighting. It does not produce heat and consumes tens of times less energy than traditional light bulbs.

In addition, the specialists of the corporation found another original solution. They found it possible to combine LED innovation with the UV Fresh Guard, a system located in the freshness zone. Its LEDs with ultraviolet radiation destroy up to ninety-five percent of bacteria in fish and meat products, allowing them to retain their useful properties much longer than in conventional refrigerators.

All Toshiba refrigerators have a No Frost system that cools without frost and does not require defrosting. Even the most powerful and large Toshiba refrigerators have a low noise level (42 dB). This is a very good indicator. It is a little alarming that the Toshiba refrigerators are only for the climatic class N, which assumes the operation of this technique at a temperature not exceeding + 32 ° С. It looks anachronistic, considering that many manufacturers produce their products of two, and often four classes.

If it is important for one of our readers, we inform that in our country Top Mounts are being sold, which are assembled in Thailand, and the multi-door refrigerators Toshiba are brought to us from China.

The company divides its refrigerators into three categories - medium, large and "glass". Let's get acquainted with some models in more detail.

Fridge Toshiba GR-R47TR

The Japanese corporation attributes this model to the average in terms of volume. Nevertheless, this "middle peasant" has a volume of 446 liters. Refrigerators belonging to this category have an unusual depth for us (72 cm), and GR-R59TR has a width of 66 cm (height 175 cm). These refrigerators are distinguished by a memorable design. It can be called strict, executed in a classical style. A special design detail - massive in appearance, typical for Toshiba devices, as if soldered along the entire length to the door of the handle. They are a small defect of the refrigerator - they can not be weighed on the other side. These models are made in three colors - golden, golden champagne and silver.

Multi-door refrigerators

Consider two models that are completely different from the previous ones. We have already said that in corporations they are called multi-door. This word can combine the model data. Since the refrigerator Toshiba GR-L42FR belongs to the form factor French Door, but the membership of the GR-L40R is hard to formulate. It almost completely replicates the original futuristic design of the fellow, but at the same time it is six centimeters deeper, and the main compartment is closed with an ordinary door, and not with two swing doors.

Both refrigerators are non-standard and interesting with their original layout. The dimensions of these machines are quite impressive, which is typical for all Toshiba equipment. The total volume of 300 liters. Fridge Toshiba GR-L40R has five doors and drawers, and GR-L42R has six. Color solutions are much smaller - golden steel.

Refrigerator Toshiba 5-chamber (like its 6-chambered colleague) has two very roomy refrigerators. The first (volume 224 liters) at the top, small (77 liters) is intended for vegetables, is between the two compartments - the bottom 81 liters and the top 17 liters (for fish and meat). Next to it is another compartment - for ice (14 liters). It is filled with an automatic ice maker.

Refrigerator Toshiba GR-D62FR

This model at first sight fascinates with its design. 483 liters of the working volume of the refrigerator are divided into six zones, each of which is equipped with its own door. This creates optimal conditions for storing different products and provides a high level of energy saving. All six cameras operate from one generator in No Frost mode.

From all of the above, we can conclude that the refrigerators "Toshiba" - the technique is unusual and original. It is designed for those who love everything technically perfect.

Customer Reviews

According to people who already have Toshiba refrigerators, these are very convenient and reliable units. Quite spacious shelves on the doors easily accommodate two-liter bottles of water, due to this inside the refrigerator shelves are shortened. Many are satisfied with the huge capacity and the availability of various offices that allow the proper storage of products.

Buyers note the excellent work of freezers and a long warranty period.
