Manual of product 3KFC869AI
Editorial note
The Balay 3KFC869AI refrigerator stands out with its modern and elegant design in anthracite color, easily fitting into various kitchen styles. Its net capacity of 260 L for the refrigerator and 103 L for the freezer provides sufficient storage space for daily needs, while the No Frost system prevents frost formation, simplifying maintenance and ensuring better food preservation. The intuitive touch controls and the integrated screen on the door make it easy to use, providing a pleasant user experience. However, the energy efficiency class C, while acceptable, may be deemed insufficient compared to models displaying classes A or B, which could lead to higher electricity bills. Additionally, the lack of a multi-airflow system and a failure alarm limits certain comfort features. The weight of 83.7 kg can make moving and installing the appliance difficult, although it indicates a robust construction. Finally, the absence of automatic defrosting in the freezer requires regular manual maintenance, which may be seen as a drawback by some users. Despite these few downsides, the Balay 3KFC869AI remains a solid choice, offering good value for money and a capacity suitable for families.Score details
