When it comes to refrigerators, the gentleman from Sub-Zero & Wolf claims that their product is the best in the world. Although his bias is evident, he provides convincing evidence to support his claim. As the doors open, a bright ice-white glow envelops the surroundings. The pristine shelves are filled with fresh produce and emit a distinct smell, or rather the lack thereof. This is all thanks to the NASA-grade air-purification system that removes ethylene gases, mold, and moisture every 20 minutes. With this system, fruits and vegetables can stay fresher for longer periods of time. Lemons can last up to six months, strawberries for four weeks, and even cut avocados will stay green. The Sub-Zero & Wolf French Door Refrigerator + Freezer, priced at £23,868, comes equipped with these air-purification capabilities.
Air-purification is a standard feature in Sub-Zero & Wolf fridges, a company that has been producing high-quality refrigerators since the late 1950s. Founder Westye Bakke, an engineer from Wisconsin, built the first refrigerator in his garage to keep his diabetic son’s insulin cool. The latest model stands tall at over 7 feet, measuring 48 inches across and offering a total capacity of 607 liters in the fridge and 213 liters in the freezer. Both compartments are frost-free and have separate compressors to prevent cross-contamination. The design is exquisite, with no exterior rivets, screws, or joins. Lighting under each shelf ensures that all items are easily visible, minimizing the chances of forgotten items. The refrigerator also features an automatic “night mode” that reduces lighting during nighttime and a spill-proof nano-coated glass surface. It even produces ice cubes that fit perfectly in an American whiskey tumbler, and a “party mode” that increases ice production by 40%. Beyond its impressive features and design, it efficiently maintains a temperature of 3ºC within a minute of closing the doors, resulting in less food decay and waste. The refrigerator also offers ample space on its door for attaching magnets.
In addition to refrigerators, there are other innovative gadgets worth exploring. Take the Torras Coolify2S fan, priced at $229, for example. This gadget is perfect for those who struggle with heat during the summer months. Worn around the neck, it operates in “fan mode” with three selectable speeds, providing a cool breeze up the sides of the face. In “cooling mode,” the neckband also cools down, providing an additional chill. For colder months, it can be set to “heat mode” for added warmth. After charging it and wearing it on a warm day while working outdoors, its effectiveness is undeniable. Travellers on the London Underground, especially, will find great relief with this gadget.
For those in need of a portable refrigerator, the EcoFlow Glacier Portable Refrigerator is an excellent choice. Priced at £1,268, this fridge-freezer weighs 23kg and features a touch panel and an accompanying app for temperature control. It can reach the desired temperature quickly and evenly. The Glacier also offers the ability to have separate temperature zones on each side and even integrates an ice maker, a first for a portable fridge of its kind. With a single charge, it can run for up to 40 hours, and it can be powered via various sources such as mains, a car charger, or even solar panels.
Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the Kaelo Plus countertop wine cooler, priced at £996. Developed by Kevin Jabou, a designer who dreamed of surpassing traditional ice buckets and plastic wine coolers, this device is a game-changer. Simply dropping it into a surface with power underneath, such as a kitchen island, allows for easy setup. By touching the rim, users can select the desired mode (white or red), and the Kaelo will maintain the existing temperature of the open bottle of wine within 1ºC. It even has a boost mode for an extra chill if desired. While the prospect of routing a hole in a countertop may not appeal to everyone, the Kaelo handles all installation requirements.
If you’re looking to dive into the world of cold water therapy, the Brass Monkey Barrel & Chiller is an ideal starting point. Priced at £5,750, this barrel and chiller system offers a temperature as low as 3ºC, adjustable to suit your preferences. Each refurbished barrel, previously used to age whisky, is sealed with resin and connected to a nearby chiller that ensures the water is cool and clean. It’s the perfect introduction to the world of cold water therapy.
By exploring these unique and innovative gadgets, you can enhance your daily life with smart technology designed to make tasks easier and more enjoyable.
