When you are faced with choosing a refrigerator Atlant, one of the key parameters is its total volume in liters. This figure determines how many products you can store, how convenient it will be to place large packages, and even how often you will have to defrost the chambers. But how to understand the labeling of models, where data on displacement is hidden, and what volumes are considered optimal for a family of 3-4 people?
In this article we will not just list the numbers - we will explain how correctly interpret the volume of the refrigeratorwhy usable volume may differ from what is stated, and which Atlanta are suitable for a small kitchen, and which for a country house. You will also find current tables with the displacement of popular models from 2023–2026 and tips on how to avoid mistakes when purchasing.
Spoiler: if in The model name Atlanta has the letters M or XM, these are single-chamber versions with a volume of up to 350 liters, and MX or MN - two-chamber versions, where the displacement can reach 400+. But first things first.
How to find out the volume of an Atlant refrigerator by model: decoding the labeling
The manufacturer Atlant uses a standard notation system where key characteristics are encrypted - including volume. Let's take for example the model Atlant XM 4625-101:
- 🔢
HM- type of refrigerator: two-chamber with a bottom freezer (X- refrigerator,M- freezer). - 📏
4625— here the first two digits (46) indicate total volume in cubic decimeters (liters). That is, 460 l. - 🔧
101— modification (color, equipment, design). It does not affect the volume.
However, there are nuances: for some series (for example, Atlant New Wave), the first digit may indicate height in decimeters, and not the volume. To avoid mistakes, check the data in official catalog or on the sticker inside the refrigerator (usually on the side wall).
If the markings have been erased or you are buying used equipment, you can calculate the volume yourself. To do this:
- Measure the internal dimensions of the refrigerator and freezer chambers (depth × width × height) in meters.
- Multiply the values for each chamber separately - get the volume in m³.
- Multiply by 1000 to convert to liters.
- Add the volumes of both chambers.
⚠️ Attention: The declared volume in the technical data sheet may include the space of shelves and drawers, which occupy up to 10–15% of the total displacement. For example, a 350 liter refrigerator in practice holds 300–320 liters of food.
Comparison of volumes: single-chamber vs two-chamber Atlant refrigerators
The main difference is not only in the number of chambers, but also in the distribution of usable space. Single-chamber models (M series, XM) are more compact and cheaper, but their freezer compartment is small (usually 30–60 liters). Double-chamber (MX series, MN, NO FROST) offer more storage options, but take up more space.
| Refrigerator type | General volume (l) | Volume of the refrigerator compartment (l) | Volume of the freezer compartment (l) | Model example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single chamber | 120–350 | 100–300 | 20–60 | Atlant MXM 1705-01 |
| Two-chamber (freezer at the bottom) | 250–400 | 180–300 | 70–120 | Atlant XM 4626-100 |
| Two-chamber (freezer at the top) | 220–350 | 150–250 | 50–100 | Atlant MX 2831-06 |
| No Frost | 300–450 | 200–350 | 80–120 | Atlant XM 6025-031 |
For a family of 2-3 people, a two-chamber Atlant on 300–350 lis optimal. If you often freeze food (berries, meat, semi-finished products), pay attention to models with a freezer from 100 l (for example, Atlant XM 6026-031 380 liters of total volume).
Popular Atlant models and their volumes (2026 table)
Below is a current list of models indicating the exact displacement. The data is taken from official sources, but for some modifications the volume may differ slightly (by ±5 l) due to changes in the design of the shelves.
| Model | Total volume (l) | Refrigerator compartment (l) | Freezer compartment (l) | Type of defrosting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atlant MXM 1705-01 | 170 | 150 | 20 | Manual |
| Atlant XM 4024-022 | 340 | 240 | 100 | Drip |
| Atlant XM 4626-100 | 360 | 260 | 100 | Drip |
| Atlant XM 6025-031 | 380 | 280 | 100 | No Frost |
| Atlant MX 2831-06 | 280 | 200 | 80 | Manual |
Models with a system No Frost (for example, XM 6025-031) usually have a slightly smaller usable volume due to fans and evaporators, but do not require defrosting. If maximum space is critical for you, pay attention to Atlant XM 4626-100 —with a volume of 360 liters, it offers one of the most spacious freezer compartments (100 liters) in its class.
⚠️ Attention: In 2026 Atlant began to gradually replace old series (for example MHM 1705) with updated models with improved thermal insulation. Check the current displacement with the seller or on the manufacturer's website.
What volume of the Atlant refrigerator should I choose for different numbers of people?
Standard recommendation - 50–70 liters per person. But this is an average value. Let's take a closer look:
- 👫 1-2 people: 150–250 liters. Suitable for single-chamber models (Atlant MXM 1705-01) or compact two-chamber (Atlant MX 2831-06).
- 👨👩👧 3–4 people: 300–380 l. Optimal - Atlant XM 4626-100 or XM 6025-031.
- 👨👩👧👦 5+ people: 400 l or more. two freezer drawers.
- 🏡 Country house/dacha: 200–300 liters. What is important here is not so much capacity as energy efficiency (class
A+or higher).
If you often receive guests or store supplies, take a refrigerator with a reserve of +20–30% of the calculated volume. For example, for a family of 4 people, instead of 300 liters, it is better to choose a model with 350–380 liters.

Common mistakes when choosing a refrigerator by volume
Many buyers focus only on the total capacity, forgetting about the nuances. Here are the most common mistakes:
- Ignoring volume distribution. For example, in the model Atlant MX 2831-06 the freezer compartment takes up only 80 liters - this is not enough if you are freezing meat or berries.
- Disregarding dimensions. A 350 liter refrigerator can be high and narrow (for example Atlant XM 4024-022 height 2 m) or low and wide. Check if it will fit through the doorway!
- Purchase for growth. A refrigerator that is too large (400+ liters for 2 people) leads to excessive energy consumption and ineffective cooling.
- Neglecting the defrosting system. Models with No Frost take up part of the volume with ventilation, but save time on maintenance.
Another pitfall — useful volume. For some Atlantov shelves take up to 15% of the space. For example, a 360 liter refrigerator can actually accommodate 310–320 liters of food. Check this in the specifications or with a consultant.
Why is there less space in the Atlant refrigerator than written?
Manufacturers indicate gross volume (including shelves, drawers and walls). Real net volume for products is 10–20% less. In addition, part of the space in the freezer is occupied by ice trays and ventilation grilles (in No Frost models).
How to increase the useful volume of the Atlant refrigerator?
If your refrigerator already purchased, but you are sorely short of space, use these tips:
- 📦 Use organizers. Transparent containers for vegetables, hanging baskets for bottles and stacks for eggs will help to use vertical space.
- ❄️ Optimize your freezer. Pack food in vacuum bags - they take up 30% less space than standard containers.
- 🔄 Rearrange the shelves. In most models Atlant the shelves are height adjustable. For example, in XM 4626-100 you can remove one shelf and replace it with a high tray for bottles.
- 🧊 Reduce the amount of ice. Ice trays occupy up to 10 liters in the freezer. If you do not use them regularly, remove them.
If even after optimization there is not enough space, consider purchasing desktop freezer (from 50 l). It will cost less than replacing the refrigerator, and will solve the problem with freezing.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the volume of Atlant refrigerators
What is the minimum volume of an Atlant refrigerator suitable for one person?
A model is enough for one person on 120–180 l, for example, Atlant MHM 1705-01 (170 l). If you rarely cook at home, you can limit yourself to 120 liters, but keep in mind that large products (for example, a large turkey or watermelon) will not fit in such a refrigerator.
How much liters in the Atlant refrigerator with the No Frost system?
Models Atlant s No Frost usually have a volume of 300 liters. For example:
- XM 6025-031 — 380 l (280 l refrigerator, 100 l freezer).
- XM 6324-030 — 350 l (250 l + 100 l).
But remember that part of the volume is occupied by the system ventilation, so the useful space is 5–10% less.
What volume of the freezer is needed to freeze berries for the winter?
