Subcold Fridges

Understanding Thermoelectric Technology

Subcold fridges utilise thermoelectric technology, known for its quiet operation. Unlike traditional compressor fridges, they use electricity to create a temperature difference, resulting in a cooler internal environment. This translates to a quieter user experience, perfect for bedrooms, offices, or even hotel rooms.

However, it’s important to understand that thermoelectric technology has limitations compared to compressor fridges. Due to their smaller size and operating principle, Subcold fridges may not achieve the same level of coldness. This makes them less suitable for storing all food items, especially those requiring very cold temperatures.

Subcold Fridges vs Traditional Fridges

Here’s a breakdown of key differences between Subcold fridges and traditional compressor fridges:

Feature Subcold Fridge Traditional Fridge
Technology Thermoelectric Compressor
Noise Level Quieter operation Louder operation due to the compressor
Efficiency Generally energy-efficient Can be more energy-efficient depending on model and size
Cooling Capacity Lower cooling capacity, ideal for drinks and snacks Higher cooling capacity, suitable for wider food storage

Choosing the Right Fridge: For those prioritising quiet operation and storing beverages or snacks, Subcold fridges are a great option. However, if you need a fridge for everyday food storage, a traditional compressor fridge might be more suitable.
