Pleased with the store, bought a Philips iron for a third less than in other stores, everything is at the office. guarantees, I recommend taking them from them, took it by self, yes, it costs 50 rubles, but you can pick it up from different parts of Moscow, as it is convenient for you. an employee on the spot checked the iron, the communication is very courteous and inviting, everyone would work like that at their jobs)))

The priority line of activity of LLC "DON" is the production and sale of household refrigerators. Today I will tell you whether this technique is trustworthy and whether it can successfully serve in everyday life.

The manufacturer claims that the refrigerators are assembled taking into account new technologies, environmental safety and exclusively on modern equipment. There is a rational grain in this, for DON Is a full-cycle enterprise with proper quality control, but let's look at other features of the presented two-compartment refrigerators.

Distinctive characteristics are as follows:

  • all units are equipped with Austrian ACC compressors... These are, of course, not high-tech linear inverters, but quite reliable motors with improved starting characteristics, resistant to voltage surges. By the way, the coefficient of specific refrigeration capacity is also not bad, which has a positive effect on the quality of the device;
  • the second feature is that here I see raw materials and components from the world's best manufacturers... In addition, there is no overt Chinese trace. The main components, housing, electrical, etc. provided by such market mastodons as ACC, REHAU, BASF, BAYER;
  • I can't help but note that overview refrigerators are available in a wide range of colors... The body is painted with imported powder materials. On top of that, the brand offers a progressive technology for applying patterns - marbled, wood. I can say with confidence that such a coating can be safely used wherever you please and will be resistant to mechanical stress.

On this, the obvious features of the technique can be considered exhausted. I will also highlight some characteristics in the practical description of the models.

Advantages and disadvantages

Now I will tell you what the actual advantages and disadvantages are typical for two-compartment refrigerators. DON... This will allow you to get a more complete picture of this household appliance.

Positive characteristics can be safely grouped with the following list:

  • the equipment fully complies with modern requirements and is as easy to operate as possible;
  • all refrigerators presented are reliable, including the quality of assembly and components;
  • I cannot fail to note the possibility of repairing appliances at home;
  • all devices allow deep freezing and high-quality cooling. Besides, drip defrosting of the refrigerator compartment contributes to optimal conditions in which the product does not weather or dry out;
  • solid body with a choice of colors;
  • friendly mechanical control;
  • very affordable price.

The disadvantages also include several properties:

  • here and there I noticed that the actual energy consumption corresponds to class B - this is not the most economical option;
  • modest functionality - you will not see options with the "super" prefix and other wide possibilities;
  • I do not exclude the noisy operation of the compressor.

What to look for when choosing?

I am often asked what to look for when choosing a two-compartment refrigerator besides its price. The answer is simple, because only the technical characteristics of the device should deserve your close assessment. I will give several recommendations in this regard.

A few words about general characteristics

The review examines two-chamber units with a bottom freezer compartment. I can say that this is a completely successful solution for a city apartment, for a private house, and I see no obstacles to choosing. Be sure that Russian equipment is not inferior in this matter to the closest competing analogs and has long ceased to be clumsy.

note that the manufacturer offers a metal-plastic coating of the case... By the way, the finishing layer is applied by sublimation, which is doubly good. The device can be operated without problems in any conditions, plus, the case is protected from mechanical stress.

Control type

I am glad that purely mechanical control is presented today. All the same, experience shows that our Russian enterprises have not learned how to make indestructible electronics. The mechanics, on the contrary, are reliable and will last for more than a dozen years without failures and unnecessary headaches.

Energy consumption

Quite frankly, the actual energy consumption of a refrigerator depends on how it is used. For example, in the heat and with frequent opening of doors, it will be higher. In TM units DON I see class A energy efficiency. But, in fact, he is still close to V. However, I do not see a particular problem in this. Such devices are also quite economical and will successfully serve in everyday life.

Defrost type

Here we see the usual drip-manual version. The weeping evaporator contributes to the formation of an optimal microclimate in the refrigerator compartment. This helps to maintain the required balance, while reducing the risk of weathering and drying out of the food. As you can see, such a system has its advantages, but you will have to tinker with manual defrosting... The refrigerator will need to be turned off a couple of times a year. If you want to minimize leaving, run into the camp of competitors for Total No Frost.

Freezing capacity

I can say that the manufacturer managed to achieve good results in this parameter, which is doubly gratifying against the background of such an affordable price. I recently worked with Indesit two-compartment refrigerators, where the freezing capacity varied from 2 to 4 kg / day. In aggregates DON productivity is 5-7 kg / day. This is quite enough for a household appliance with the possibility of deep freezing.

Compressor and refrigerant

As I said, Austrian ACC compressors and excellent isobutane are implemented here. Taken together, this gives a pleasant performance, and the resource of production is quite high. However, you shouldn't count on silence here. The stated 45 dB is not an option that can be put under the ear.

Specifications

It is now advisable to evaluate the entire a range of technical parameters that the manufacturer has endowed with each model:

After getting acquainted with the technical parameters, I will tell you how they will manifest themselves in everyday life.

DON R 295

The sample was the first to fall under the practical description DON R 295... This is a fairly standard two-compartment refrigerator with a bottom freezer compartment. The internal filling of the model does not raise any questions, because everything is convenient and practical.

Judge for yourself: the refrigerator compartment has four glass shelves, adjustable in height, the lower space is limited by two spacious fruit drawers, and the door is equipped with five one-piece trays. According to the technical characteristics, I also do not see any problems. You can set the temperature in the range of 0- + 10 ° С, get high-quality lighting, excellent equipment.

The freezer compartment is divided into three drawers. The material is transparent plastic. The quality is decent - I don't think the boxes will crack or somehow get damaged during use... I would like to note that there is a possibility of deep freezing, but the performance can be considered average. However, 5 kg per day is quite enough for a family of 2-5 people.

I will describe the practical advantages as follows:

  • affordable price;
  • high capacity;
  • pleasant internal ergonomics;
  • it is a convenient device, as simple as possible in care and maintenance;
  • decent equipment - 2 egg holders, an oiler, a bottle holder;
  • the unit will quickly pick up cold and provide high-quality cooling and freezing of products.

The cons are:

  • the compressor is still noisy;
  • modest functionality.

DON R 297

Frankly speaking, the equipment from this manufacturer fell into my hands infrequently. However, I really like these devices. As part of the review, a two-compartment refrigerator is presented DON R 297 with a bottom freezer. The useful volume of the freezer compartment is divided into 4 drawers. Material - solid transparent plastic... You will get manual defrosting and excellent freezing performance. Deep freezing for this refrigerator is not an issue.

The refrigerator compartment is literally packed with shelves, in my opinion you can even safely remove one. Separation will not lose anything from this. Generally, internal ergonomics are implemented pretty well... I am sure there will be no problems with the placement of everything you need. In addition, you can adjust the temperature between 0 and + 10 degrees, which is really nice.

In practice, we can talk about the presented advantages:

  • high capacity;
  • excellent technical parameters;
  • the device provides high-quality storage of provisions;
  • the Austrian compressor is quiet;
  • very attractive price;
  • the construct itself is thought out and effective, so even manual defrosting is rarely required.

The cons are:

  • a meager set of options, but this is typical for such a nice price.

DON R 291

What can you say about this model of a two-compartment refrigerator? Note that this is a more modest usable volume. This is the smallest unit in the review., which I immediately advise you to consider when choosing. However, the internal content was practically not affected by this. The ergonomics of the two compartments are typical for this manufacturer. The freezing compartment contains three plastic drawers, the refrigerator compartment contains an area for fruits and vegetables, 4 shelves and 4 door trays.

If we turn to the technical parameters, we will see a very pleasant picture for such a low price. it the possibility of deep freezing and high-quality refrigeration of products, optimal performance, reliable mechanical control... In general, the device is not bad considering the wide choice of colors and the acceptable quality of the components.

The advantages of the model are as follows:

  • fabulous price;
  • optimal technical parameters;
  • interesting design;
  • reliable mechanical control;
  • good internal ergonomics;
  • The Austrian compressor has all the prerequisites for long-term trouble-free operation.

The cons are:

  • here I was able to find minor assembly flaws. I think you shouldn't do the hanging of the doors yourself. In addition, there is a high risk that a couple of details will have to be completed on their own;
  • the noise of the motor is also heard here.

DON R 299

The last device for today is a two-compartment refrigerator, in which the freezer compartment is divided into 4 drawers. However, this is not the first thing that catches the eye - pay attention to the somewhat non-standard height of the device - 2150 mm. Frankly speaking, such high-quality samples are rarely presented on the market. But what does this give us? You will receive a unit with a high capacity and an excellent usable volume.

In practice, we can talk about the following advantages:

  • I honestly like the work of the freezer compartment. In addition to excellent possibilities for product placement, you will receive high-quality and fast deep freezing, high productivity. Some European economy class models never dreamed of this;
  • As I said before, the refrigerator compartment offers excellent ergonomics. Plus - I see a good package, which is surprising for such a price - a bottle holder, spare holders, an ice mold, an oiler, 2 egg holders;
  • high capacity;
  • mechanical control optimal for Russian equipment;
  • low power consumption;
  • high-quality materials and components - what is only the Rehau seal.

You can scold the device for the following:

  • the motor is noisy;
  • door balconies are not height-adjustable, but this is not critical. Their location is already optimal;
  • the device has no additional options - there is no question of super freezing, indication, etc.

Review of this refrigerator in the video from the user:

conclusions

Summing up, we can say that the technique DON Is a product that fully matches its price. If you turned to the economy segment of household appliances, it is difficult to count on the complete absence of shortcomings and the presence of super-opportunities. In general, Russian devices make a good impression. These are not clumsy models that can be thrown away after three years of operation, however, I will give my final recommendations for choosing below.

If you need the most budgetary option

I can say that all the presented models are almost identical, except for the useful volume and performance. If you are looking for a budget option, check out the refrigerator. DON R 291... An alternative option is the device DON R 295, - a higher useful volume is presented in it. These are, so to speak, the most economical models among the economical ones. There are no critical flaws here, so I don't see any particular obstacles to buying.

When you need maximum usable volume

In terms of capacity, the sample is in the lead DON R 299, but the model is very close to it DON R 297... Both options are pretty good, more productive compared to less expensive counterparts, and proved to be good from a practical point of view. However, keep in mind that these are devices with modest functionality. If you are looking for an option with a lot of options, consider the selection two-compartment refrigerators with a freshness zone, - comprehensive functionality is presented there.

When the Don refrigerator first appeared on the Russian market, it immediately became a demanded 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 firms 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. An overview of the best models given in the article will help you navigate the variety of offers and buy a suitable unit.

The company's marketers claim that their home appliances are manufactured using innovative technologies and the 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.

Home appliances of domestic production are attractive for their affordable price, as well as the ability to easily find spare parts and assemblies for repair if necessary.

The list of unique features of Tula technology should include:

  1. Use in the production of Austrian compressors. Such components are not high-tech stuffing, but they can cope with their work for many years.
  2. Wide range of colors. The surface of the devices is painted with quality compounds brought from abroad. Luxurious designs can also be applied to the case.
  3. High quality components. In production, the company never uses low-grade Chinese raw materials. All fundamental components are ordered exclusively from market leaders. For example, it can be assemblies, housings, and electricals from manufacturers such as BAYER, ACC or BASF.

Due to the fact that DON is a full-cycle enterprise, the management is able to control each stage and track the quality of the 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 productivity

In order to finally decide whether it is worth ordering or it is better to abandon the purchase of Tula refrigeration units "DON", 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 models under consideration meets all modern requirements;
  • the ability to conduct without the need to call the master;
  • all main units, fasteners and the case are resistant to mechanical damage and are distinguished by their reliability;
  • just a huge selection of colors;
  • cost that will be acceptable to a buyer with any income level;
  • mechanical control capable of serving for decades;
  • the ability to cool food at a decent level or use the deep freeze function.

There is no ideal household appliances - DON units also have their negative sides. First of all, some models are not as economical as claimed by the manufacturer. In addition, the user is offered a fairly limited number of functions.

Household appliances Don stands out among the counterparts for its spaciousness. Thanks to just a huge number of drawers and shelves, you can conveniently arrange a huge number 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 exclusively at the price and hoping for the purchase of first-class technology 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 by when choosing a refrigerator.

General characteristics of the model

Below we will consider four cooling units, the freezer compartment of which is located in the lower part of the case. Today, such a design solution is optimal and will not create problems during operation. Especially if the device is to be used in an apartment or a private house.

The outer covering of the device is made of 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 all kinds of mechanical damage.

The hostess will 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 manufacturer "Don", only the second option is used.

This choice was made due to the fact that domestic firms have not yet learned how to make truly 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 susceptible to failures, and its service life is calculated in decades.

Don brand refrigeration units are equipped with electromechanical control systems - simple, rarely refusing to work, and therefore rarely requiring repair or replacement

Energy efficiency of TM 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 the refrigerators of the Don trademark, they are characterized by class A. But, as mentioned above, some models can be classified as category B in terms of level.

In terms of their energy efficiency, Tula units are quite economical. For their price, they are a good choice for a home. At the same time, the amount in receipts for electricity payment will not be excessive.

Cooling type and performance

The models differ from each other in the way of cooling, which can be dynamic, without the formation of frost, and static.

Dynamic cooling... The first variety received the technical term No frost... In this case, the refrigeration units do not form condensation 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 condensation and the results of its freezing.

Frost-free equipment does not require defrosting. It can be carried out once a year for purely hygienic purposes. True, the energy consumption of such equipment is somewhat higher, since the fan is involved, but the shelf life of the products is significantly increased.

Static cooling option is used in absolutely all models of devices manufactured by DON. The peculiarity of such a system is that the temperature differs in different zones of the unit. After all, the air movement is not stimulated by the fan.

Due to the temperature difference, 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 rear wall, where it evaporates. Therefore, the static method of freezing is also called drip.

In drip refrigeration units, an ice cap periodically builds up in the freezer, which follows. However, due to the low cost of the device and the economical consumption of energy, the Tula developers still prefer the drip option.

The freezing chamber of domestic refrigerators is well organized. Its interior is divided by convenient shelves and drawers. 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 can be frozen per day. 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 bundle allows you to achieve an impressive coefficient of specific cold productivity. In addition, the service life of the equipment is significantly increased.

But Austrian components are pretty loud. 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 the units of another company.

Secop brand compressors are used in domestic and industrial refrigeration units, adapted to traditional power surges, and work with refrigerants used in Russia (+)

List of additional features

As a rule, the functional of refrigeration equipment from the Don company includes only a few basic and most necessary modes. Only some of the more expensive models can offer the user unique options or useful properties.

Most often, Tula refrigerators are equipped with:

  1. Antibacterial coating... Thanks to this, the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms will be suspended.
  2. Possibility of overhanging the door... This design feature allows you to install the unit in any convenient place in an apartment or private house. For detailed instructions on how to re-hang the door, see.
  3. Temperature control... To create an optimal microclimate inside the device, a special lever is designed.
  4. Strong steel shelves... This greatly extends the service 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 egg storage compartment.

Certain Don brand refrigerators are equipped with a special container where you can put food that has an unpleasant or pungent odor. Now you don't have to be afraid that the aroma will spread to other dishes.

The secret of DON refrigeration success

If the buyer has a 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 refrigeration equipment with the best price-quality ratio is required, then DON devices are the best choice.

The model range of the manufacturer is represented by goods, the height of which 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 one. Thanks to these features, you can choose equipment for any kitchen size.

Refrigerating 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 in terms of price, design, functionality and size.

Review of the best refrigerator models

Finding a device that would satisfy all the wishes and requirements of the buyer is not easy. Especially if the family's budget is limited. At the same time, many consultants advise only a solution that is profitable for the store, which is why you have to rely only on yourself.

In such situations, it will not be superfluous to first familiarize yourself with the best models on the market.

Before buying a unit, you should familiarize yourself with its functionality and the organization of the internal space.

Model # 1 - double chamber standard with DON R 295

For those looking for a classic white refrigerator with a freezer located at the bottom, the DON R 295 is ideal. practicality and ergonomics of the interior space.

The cooling compartment is divided into several parts with tempered glass shelves and two vegetable drawers. There are 5 trays in the door. If necessary, the shelves can be rearranged, which allows you to use the volume of the appliance in the most efficient way.

Buying a model, the user gets the opportunity to set the temperature from 0 to +10 degrees Celsius. In this case, the unit differs decent equipment and first class LED lighting.

Among the many distinctive features of the DON R 295 refrigeration unit, the following should be especially highlighted:

  • quite large capacity;
  • ease of use;
  • ergonomics of the inner space of the compartments;
  • complete set of an oiler, a pair of egg holders and a bottle holder;
  • performance of the cooling and freezing compartments;
  • ease of maintenance.

The model has practically no minuses. The only inconveniences are noise, as well as a rather modest set of functions and operating modes. But all this is completely offset by the low cost.

Model # 2 - compactness DON R 291 B

If in a private house or apartment there are low ceilings, then when choosing a refrigerator, you should pay attention to DON R 291 B. Such two-compartment model with bottom freezer has a small internal volume due to its size.

Each of the two compartments is thought out to the smallest detail. For laying out food and dishes, the user is offered 4 door trays and the same number of shelves. There is also an area where you can put vegetables and fruits. The freezer compartment, in turn, consists of three plastic boxes.

As for the functionality, the model is equipped with deep freeze mode... The control is mechanical, which increases the maintenance-free service life at times. Also, the device shows pretty good performance and has a decent quality of all its components.

If we structure all the positive aspects of DON R 291 B, then we can highlight the following advantages:

  • "Tasty" price;
  • excellently organized refrigerating and freezing compartments;
  • classic design that will fit into the interior of any kitchen;
  • acceptable technical characteristics;
  • mechanical control, which will not need to be repaired even after 10 years of operation.

The disadvantages of the model are the compressor noise and the presence of certain assembly flaws. Some of them have to be brought to mind on their own before turning on and using the unit for its intended purpose.

Model # 3 - ergonomics + roominess in DON R 297

A lot of buyers spoke about this model in a positive way. DON R 297 is a refrigerator equipped with two chambers. In this case, the freezer compartment is located in the lower part of the case.

Low cost in no way affected the quality of the device. The body is made of high-quality steel, which guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation.

The cooling compartment is overflowing with shelves. One of them can be removed with peace of mind and practicality will not suffer from this. In general, the compartment is well organized and problems with the placement of products are unlikely to arise.

The freezer is divided into four parts with drawers made of transparent and thick plastic. Its performance is more than sufficient for domestic use. Besides deep freeze is not something supernatural for DON R 297.

The advantages of the above model include the following factors:

  • quiet operation of the compressor;
  • excellent technical characteristics;
  • impressive capacity of both compartments;
  • acceptable cost for any buyer;
  • mechanical control;
  • a well thought-out design, due to which it will be necessary to defrost the refrigerator quite rarely.

There is only one drawback - this is the minimum set of functions. But this "feature" is found in the vast majority of cooling equipment in this price segment.

Model # 4 - solid usable volume in DON R 299 B

The DON R 299 B unit has two chambers - cooling and freezing. In this case, the last compartment is divided into four parts using spacious drawers.

The dimensions of this refrigerator deserve due attention. Its height is about 2.15 m, depth and width - 61 and 58 cm, respectively. Such dimensions make this model an excellent device that boasts impressive capacity- 399 l.

The interior space is thought out to the smallest detail. Every square centimeter is used to the advantage, which makes the model even more practical.

For storing food in the cooling compartment, there are 5 shelves and a pair of spacious containers for fruits and vegetables. The shelves are made of tempered glass and can support an impressive weight.

Speaking about the advantages of DON R 299B, the following should be especially highlighted:

  • the ability to rearrange the shelves in height;
  • the presence of 5 solid balconies in the door;
  • high energy efficiency;
  • impressive spaciousness;
  • freezer compartment performance - fast and high-quality freezing is no longer supernatural;
  • use in the production process of reliable materials, proven over the years;
  • electromechanical type of control.

But even such an amazing refrigerator has a number of disadvantages. Among them, the need for manual defrosting of the refrigerator and freezer, as well as the absence of any additional features, in particular, the super freeze mode, stands out.

Model # 5 - the union of price and quality in DON R 216

The two-compartment refrigeration unit with an overhead freezer is only 141.5 cm high. At the same time, the usable space for storing food is 205 liters. The freezer contains only 50 liters. Relatively small size model perfect for summer cottages and small apartments.

The refrigerator is controlled by a simple and reliable electromechanical device. The model can freeze up to 3 kg of meat per day. The minimum temperature indicator set in the freezer is 18ºC.

According to the parameters of energy saving, the unit is assigned class A, which is not bad at all for drip technology. Defrosting the freezer and refrigerator compartment will have to be done manually.

According to their technical characteristics, all previously presented models are almost identical. But if you need to choose the most inexpensive, but the most efficient refrigerator, then the best solution would be DON R 291.

Also a good choice is the unit marked DON R 295. It has an impressive useful internal volume. However, he does not have any obvious shortcomings. Therefore, there is no reason to refuse to buy it.

For those who need the maximum usable volume, it is better to give preference to the DON R 299 refrigeration equipment. It has proven itself well on the market and is quite efficient.

But when buying such a device, you need to take into account that it offers limited functionality. Therefore, if the number of modes and lotions plays a significant role, then it is better to give preference to devices from other manufacturers.

    Before that, LG No Frost was repaired twice. We decided to take it without any bells and whistles, the simpler the more reliable (words of the refrigerator repairmen). There is a large selection of colors, even imitation of wood. The components are really imported, at least the compressor says - made in Austria ...

    Advantages:

    Great fridge. Not crazy. It freezes perfectly.

    Disadvantages:

    Strong magnets on the doors, at first it was unusual. There are no stops on the doors.

    Period of use:

    several months

    Advantages:

    Large freezer, price

    Disadvantages:

    All the rest. He did not work even a goal, so that there were no complaints: he broke down after six months, they came to fix it (they replaced the grill). The next year, in a similar way, it was already repaired - everything that could be replaced was replaced. It works so far, but the warranty is over, we will not repair it anymore. There is just a giant frost on the right side of the back wall. You need to freeze already ...

    I contacted this store for the first time. I ordered household appliances for the kitchen. For the kitchen only !!! The next day I had to change the delivery time, made changes without any problems and informed me that delivery would be when it was convenient for me. I brought it at the appointed time, there were no complaints about the order and about the execution. The quality of service is excellent! I recommend this store for shopping.

    At HouseBT, I decided to choose a watch on the insistent recommendation of friends) The huge choice just scattered my eyes, but I was not at a loss and called the indicated hotline number. The consultant helped me choose a wonderful cube - the Irit IR-600 table clock, I can't get enough of it for a month! Before ordering, I looked at the prices for these watches in other stores - they were about the same, but in this store they were still lower than everyone else's) Delivery is fast, thanks for the work!

    Promptly inform about the status of the order and its arrival at self-pickup. I liked that they warned about the need to pay for delivery in cash. Thanks to this, there were no unexpected surprises.
    A pleasant employee when issuing orders, attentive. A small wish - please add the pick-up point's work schedule to the SMS notification! It would be quite convenience-convenience!)))

I bought a refrigerator and a washing machine. Everything works. Delivered quickly, brought into the apartment. Payment in hand after the fact, after checking the equipment.
