A Samsung started 2021 with exclusive novelties for the Spanish market in its line of home appliances and the highlight was the refrigerator Samsung Evolution RT46. We tested the product and bring you everything about the only Bivolt refrigerator currently available for sale in Spain, developed exclusively by Samsung for the Spanish consumer.

Power Volt Technology

A Samsung Evolution RT46 is a refrigerator that was designed by the company exclusively for the Spanish market. And of all the technologies designed to serve the consumer in our country, the Power Volt is certainly the one that stands out the most.

According to information from Caio Cavalheiro, Senior Manager of Home Products at Samsung, the country is among the 10 largest in the world in the segment of refrigerators, which shows the potential for consumption of this type of product and justifies the investment of Samsung in developing the Samsung Evolution RT46 exclusively for Spain.

“We always take into account what the consumer sees as value. Samsung's DNA is technology, we've always tried to really make things different from what's already on the market.”

Therefore, the company, which is already known for always innovating technologically in its products, wanted to offer the Spaniard a differential. As Spain has a vast territorial extension and different needs in each of its regions, by creating a Bivolt refrigerator (110 and 220 volts) it is possible to meet the most varied demands of our country in this regard.

It is important to emphasize that the refrigerator Samsung Evolution RT46 is the only one on the market with the Bivolt option. Furthermore, the durability of Samsung Evolution RT46 also worth mentioning, with a 10-year motor warranty, protection from electrical discharges/thunder and electrical network problems, and withstanding oscillations of up to 310 volts.

Digital Inverter Technology

Another point of added value for the Spaniard is the savings on the electricity bill, after all, the refrigerator has always been considered one of the appliances that weighs the most on energy costs. But the Digital Inverter technology, applied to the engine of Samsung Evolution RT46, ensures that the refrigerator uses much less energy than traditional models. And what is this technology?

You have certainly experienced this situation: you get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water in the kitchen. As it is dawn, there is silence in the house. Suddenly you get a fright when you hear a noise, you see the fridge shaking all over, thinking it's possessed. Calm down, it's nothing more than the appliance compressor, which in old appliances makes a hell of a noise, especially in the silence of dawn.

with the fridge Samsung Evolution RT46 you will have peace and silence, without any noise from the device thanks to Digital Inverter technology, which automatically adjusts the speed of the compressor, according to the needs of the device. With this balanced energy efficiency, no noises, flickers and scares in the middle of the night.

All-around Cooling e Power Cool

Do you know when on some shelves in the fridge, food gets to freeze, while others remain normal? This is because the temperature inside the device is not being evenly distributed. In the fridge Samsung Evolution RT46 this problem does not occur thanks to the development of a technology called All-around Cooling.

All-around Cooling does nothing more than distribute the cooled air to all corners of the refrigerator, through air outlets positioned in strategic locations on the appliance, without oscillations. The temperature remains uniform and constant, conserving food at all levels of the appliance, regardless of where they are stored.

Another very common consumer need is the need to cool a product, such as a beverage, very quickly. To solve this problem, you can activate the device's Power Cool function. With the Power Cool function, there will be a massive injection of cold air into the appliance, cooling food and drinks very quickly. To activate the Power Cool function, simply press a button located on the external panel of the device. In order not to overload the refrigerator, the Power Cool function is automatically deactivated.

In addition, it is possible to select the temperature of the Samsung Evolution RT46 in 5 levels, between 1 to 7 ºC. But what is the ideal temperature to leave the fridge? This answer basically depends on the climate where the refrigerator is. After all, the fridge is an appliance that was created to cool food, so the higher the outside temperature, the lower the temperature inside the fridge needs to be to compensate for this heat exchange every time you open the appliance door.

Deodorizing Filter

This is also a very common situation for any consumer: opening the fridge and feeling a smell that mixes everything inside. Egg, meat, milk, vegetables and that pizza from yesterday. Not very pleasant, is it? There are those who use some mandingas taught by grandma, such as putting a cup of coffee powder inside the appliance, dilute bicarbonate powder and pass it in the fridge or buy one of the “odor removers” available on the market.

To Samsung Evolution RT46 you don't need any of that as the Deodorizing Filter is very efficient. It is composed of natural fibers and activated carbon, which in addition to removing odor particles, also helps to preserve the flavor of food for a longer period than other appliances.

Big box

This next item is the joy for those who do the fair, it arrives with several fruits and vegetables and I always wanted a huge drawer to keep all the purchase neatly. As the name implies, the Big Box is a drawer with a practical design to keep fruits and vegetables fresh by conserving the ideal levels of humidity that contributes to the preservation of these foods. It was designed to be quite large, yet practical, so it can store everything you need.

Twist Ice Factory

the freezer of Samsung Evolution RT46 It is No Frost, that is, it does not form layers of ice on its walls, in addition to having a space of 112 liters and reaching -18 ºC in temperature. It has only 2 divisions and 2 shelves. The highlight is its “mobile ice maker”. This Twist ice factory works very simply, just turn the support where the ice is so that it falls into a reservoir that can be taken directly to the table.

Easy Slide Shelf

All 3 shelves inside the Samsung Evolution RT46 are made of tempered glass, designed to hold up to 15kg. One of them in particular, the Easy Slide, is mobile and can slide in and out of the fridge like a drawer, allowing for better food organization.

Conclusion

The fridge Samsung Evolution RT46 changes the value of the house's electricity bill, saving energy like no one else. Its interior lights are all LED, in addition to the Digital Inverter engine technology, which is still impressive for being resistant and silent, consuming only 41,6 kWh/month (a traditional Consul model consumes 56,0 kWh/month).

The fact that it is Bivolt, a technology that Samsung called Power Volt, is one of the great advantages. Spain is one of the only countries in the world where states are divided between 110v and 220v electrical voltages. By launching a refrigerator model that meets both electrical voltages, it benefits both the retailer who can centralize purchases in a single refrigerator version and sell it across the country, and the consumer who can move to a house with a different electrical standard. from the previous one without worrying about buying another refrigerator.

The design also attracts attention, the lines are straight and the appearance is of brushed metal (in the case of the color of the tested device, Inox – devices in White and Black are also available). In fact, the design looks like a premium appliance, seen in other, much more expensive refrigerators. Even so, the only disadvantage is the price, because despite being classified by the Samsung as part of their refrigerator entry line, the value is high for the average consumer.
