If you decide to purchase a Pozis refrigerator, you will be interested in information about the brand, advantages and disadvantages of equipment, basic characteristics of models and pricing. Our review is entirely dedicated to this and aims to help you make a purchasing decision.
What makes Pozis
Pozis, despite its foreign name, is a domestic company. On the stickers you can see the inscription: country of origin - Russia, Production Association "Plant Sergo". Today it is the largest manufacturer of domestic refrigeration equipment. Moreover, there are not only household lines - quality wine and pharmaceutical cabinets are leaving the factory.
Fact! If you remember the Soviet single-chamber refrigerators "SVIYAGA", then you have already encountered the products of the Sergo plant.
Since 2004, the production of Premier and Classic refrigerators has been established, and in 2010 the new generation of the premium class - the Hannfrost line - rolled off the assembly line.
We will not delve into the study of laboratory equipment and cabinets for wine - for this we have separate articles: “Overview of pharmaceutical refrigerators for homes and pharmacies” and “Overview of wine cabinets (wine refrigerators)”. Consider household single-chamber and two-chamber electrical appliances: features of their assembly, reliability and functionality.
About Pozis Refrigerators
Single chamber options are ideal for hotels, offices, country houses or small kitchens. And two-chamber traditionally have a large volume of both cameras and a separate door for each. Models with two compartments will be convenient for short-term and long-term storage of products in a large family. The case design is similar to many leading brands, so it is suitable for almost any interior.
Features
- Low noise, not exceeding 40 decibels.
- Climatic class - N. Suitable for rooms with temperature marks not lower than 16 and not higher than 32 degrees.
On a note! Read more about these indices on the page "Climatic classes of the refrigerator."
- Equipment developers have long abandoned obsolete technology. These include incandescent lamps - they have been replaced by practical, economical and modern LED lighting.
- High energy efficiency of individual series - not lower than A.
- Soldering compressor system components with a special substance with a high silver content. This contributes to high resistance to corrosion processes and eliminates the leakage of freon.
- All refrigerators use environmentally friendly gas - isobutane (R600A). It is effective in work, safe for living organisms and does not destroy the ozone layer of the planet. High-energy properties make it possible to reduce the volume of freon in the system in comparison with analogues.
- A door hinge on either side allows the user to choose which way it will open. It all depends on the layout of the kitchen and the location of the appliance.
- In two-chamber models, “Full No Frost” is provided - a system that protects the inner walls from frost and snow. In single-door versions of this technology there is no, but they need to be thawed no more often than 1-2 times a year, so no hassle is expected.
- Stability will not be affected due to a power surge, since the input circuit has galvanic protection.
- Do you think that antibacterial coating is an innovation that is used only in the Bosch, Siemens or Algea technique? Here it is: in Pozis cameras there is also a spray that prevents the spread of pathogenic microbes, fungal and mold spores, unpleasant odors.
- In the Premier line, energy efficiency reaches Class A +, the warranty period lasts 5 years, the shelves are made of tempered glass, designed for 40 kg.
- The Classic Series is the experience of more than half a century. The freezer is classically located: both in models with one compartment, and with two.
Advantages and disadvantages
To summarize all of the above, we highlight the main advantages of the Pozis refrigeration equipment:
- Large capacity.
- A good build - "for their own."
- High-quality and uniform cooling.
- Silent work.
- Economical lighting.
- Careful packing of each detail and component.
- Plastic that does not turn yellow and does not crack over time.
- “Vegetable” and “fruit” boxes are solid, therefore they serve as long as possible.
- Adjustable legs. Wheels in some trim levels.
- Perfectly freezing freezer.
It is worth talking about some of the shortcomings. Buyers complain that the plastic absorbs the smell of food, which is why you have to ventilate the cabinet. It is also noted that the new refrigerator smells of plastic for a long time. Based on the reviews, we can also conclude:
- The power button in the compartment sticks.
- A small number of rails for shelves - modest possibilities for adjusting the height.
- The rational distribution on the door is not enough - users note that additional shelves would not hurt.
- Condensation collects on the back wall, although it should not be there. Sometimes drops are found even on the side walls.
- The door hinge is not mounted and visually noticeable, which somewhat distorts the interior of the kitchen.
- Freezers are deprived of handles, which makes them inconvenient to remove.
- A lot of ice freezes in the freezer compartment, which requires frequent thawing of this compartment.
These shortcomings of Pozis household equipment are most common. If you also get a model with flaws, the equipment can always be returned or exchanged.

I do not want to talk about the pros and cons of a particular model, because this is the most ordinary refrigerator. But I’ll tell you how things were in general: a week after the purchase began to flow. I found ice at the bottom of the freezer (despite the Nou Frost) - it turned out that this ice was melting, hence the puddles. But that is not all. The master said that the water drain pipe was packed in film, which caused the drain to freeze and floods began. After removing the film, everything became good - it freezes, does not make noise, does not freeze. But the impression is notably spoiled.

Great price and quality since Soviet times - that's what bribed me. The cameras are spacious, the cabinet is compact. The walls do not freeze, the freezer too. It leaked a little, but I figured it out myself and corrected the position of the drain pipe. Damage for six months of operation was not found, I hope that this will continue in the future.

Andrei
I bought my mother, at her request. I asked for an inexpensive device with a large freezer for summer frosts - all kinds of fruit and berries. Outwardly, I liked it, and everything is simple inside. Minus - noisy. But mom has a great dream, so she doesn’t complain, but as a user I have to note this. In general, the technique is ordinary - without frills, therefore, there is nothing special to describe. It should work out its price in full.
RS-411 Gf
A small one-door version, made in black. Suitable for minimalists with a commitment to dark shades. Like the models, this one is equipped exclusively with electromechanics, and the energy class is invariably A. The dimensions of the case are 54x55x85 cm. As you can see, this compact “assistant” can easily stand even in a small kitchen.
A freezer compartment with manual defrost is provided inside. A drip system is installed in the refrigerator.
On a note! Minimum freezer: -12 degrees.
The total volume of the cabinet is 120 liters, of which 14 are in the freezer.
Shelves are metal, the noise level is not higher than 40 dB, the climate class is N, and the weight is only 43 kg.
The price is within 10,000 rubles.

Olga
There were questions on the instructions - I did not understand how the temperature is set. Only then did she find out that the adjustment is elementary - she was just afraid to cheat too much. It freezes slightly, but at least it does not flow (I read other reviews) and does not rattle at night.
Typical malfunctions
Despite the manufacturability described above, Pozis malfunctions are commonplace. High-strength cooling system is a luxury for a domestic manufacturer. If you improve the quality, it will “hit” the cost, and in the conditions of wild competition, technology is unlikely to be in demand among users. Indeed, the price is often the priority.
There are a number of typical failures specific to Pozis equipment:
- Problems with wiring. They mean the lack of power to the starting protective relay (PZR). It can also be insulation damage or burning contacts.
- Damage to the thermostat.
- Failure of the PZR.
- Damage to the motor-compressor.
Masters note that due to the prolonged use of the appliance, clogging of the capillary pipe and filter drier is not ruled out.
The main "symptoms" of malfunctions:
- the freezer does not freeze;
- the main department does not work;
- the compressor does not turn off;
- water accumulates under the drawers for vegetables and fruits;
- water flows from under the housing, etc.
Fortunately, a simple device technology allows you to successfully repair it. Some parts are repairable, some of them need to be changed.
Fact! Masters note that since there is no electronic circuit, this eliminates a dozen or two possible breakdowns.
So, Pozis refrigerators are not the best quality equipment on the market, but rather cheap. In this case, a simple device in the event of a breakdown provides quick and relatively inexpensive repairs. An option for those who want to simultaneously save and support a domestic manufacturer.
