Choosing a refrigerator for your kitchen is not an easy task. Therefore, it is better to make sure in this matter in advance - read customer reviews about Stinol refrigerators, talk about them with friends.
As for the Stinol company, this brand is considered reliable and relatively inexpensive. But, unfortunately, it did not last long. For reasons of profitability of the enterprise, the plant was sold to the Indesit concern. The new owner improved the production line and installed new equipment in the workshops. Thus, it was possible to preserve the best traditions of the former brand of refrigerators "Stinol", reviews of which were always positive.
Production ethics of the Lipetsk plant
Buyers believe that the equipment produced by world-renowned brands in Russia is not of very high quality. But this is an unfounded assertion. Equipment produced by a domestic manufacturer is not inferior to similar products manufactured in other countries.
Indesit Corporation (founded in Italy) afterpurchase of production facilities "Stinol" completely transformed production. In particular, assembly lines were automated. Today, the work of the plant began to be carried out with the support of professional logisticians. The production process of assembly and packaging of refrigerators is now controlled by engineers from Italy. Personnel training centers for advanced training have been opened. The management of the enterprise ordered to import important parts of refrigeration equipment from abroad.
On the territory of the plant, conditions have been created for in-depth testing of equipment. Special equipment in the workshops allows you to choose the right microclimate for testing. In general, the above activities make it possible to produce high-quality household appliances, but at a low cost due to the territorial location.
Enterprise structure
In the Russian Federation, Indesit International is engaged in the production of refrigeration units. The same organization analyzes the sales market and develops a sales strategy. Sales of products are carried out by DP "Indesit RUS". Also, this enterprise finds specialized trading platforms to perform its main functions. An additional, but important activity is the trade in a brand that consumers liked based on reviews (refrigerators "Stinol"). A rather tangible sale of the company's goods occurs through online stores selling household appliances.

Product benefits
Among the advantages of these refrigerators, users note the cost. Even modern, two-chamber models can be purchased for very modest money.
Stinol refrigerators of newer models received positive feedback for high-quality fittings and versatility of internal design. In particular: strong and durable removable shelves, large drawers for vegetables, the ability to change door hinges from right-handed to left-handed and vice versa.
Disadvantages of refrigerators
Negative reviews of Stinol refrigerators were received mainly due to assembly defects and poor quality sealing material. In addition, buyers note the frequent failure of sensors and malfunctions in units with installed electronic control. From frequent surges, due to the provision of low-quality electricity, the internal board burns out. The manufacturer has to return the overall device to the repair site under warranty and fix the breakdownelectronics.
The tubes of the heat exchangers are the weak point. Poor soldering leads to frequent refrigerant leakage. Fixing this problem takes a little time, but the replacement of freon and the service of a specialist with the appropriate skills is expensive.
The worst thing that can happen, according to buyers in reviews, with the Stinol-185 refrigerator is the failure of the compressor, the so-called heart of the unit. But this happens with Italian technology is extremely rare. To prevent damage to expensive parts, experts recommend installing additional household voltage stabilizers.
