Subcold Maxi250LED Upright Fridge (Stainless Steel, 237L)

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit through a standard doorway?

The fridge measures 140.5cm high, 54.2cm wide and 60.3cm deep. At 54.2cm width, it easily fits through standard UK doorways which are typically 76cm wide. The height of 140.5cm means it will fit under most kitchen worktops with standard ceiling heights. Adjustable feet help accommodate uneven floors and provide additional height adjustment if needed.

How many bottles and cans can it actually hold?

The 237-litre capacity accommodates approximately 300 standard cans or 150 wine bottles, depending on configuration. With five adjustable shelves, you can customise the layout for different bottle sizes. For mixed storage, expect around 200 cans plus 50-60 wine bottles. The flexible shelving system allows you to prioritise either cans or bottles based on your needs.

What temperature range is best for different types of drinks?

The 4°C to 18°C range covers all beverage types perfectly. Set 4-6°C for lagers and soft drinks, 8-12°C for white wines and champagne and 12-18°C for red wines. The precise temperature control maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet, thanks to the internal ventilated fan system that prevents hot spots.

How energy efficient is this fridge and what are the running costs?

With Energy Class C rating and 449 kWh annual consumption, running costs are approximately £135 per year based on current UK electricity prices. The R600a refrigerant is environmentally friendly and highly efficient. The double-glazed door and automatic defrost system contribute to energy savings by maintaining optimal insulation and preventing ice build-up.

Is the fridge noisy and can I use it in living areas?

The compressor cooling system operates quietly, making it suitable for living areas, home bars, or bedrooms. The R600a refrigerant system produces minimal noise compared to older refrigerant types. Most users report the operational sound is barely noticeable, similar to a standard domestic refrigerator.

How secure is the locking system and what type of key is provided?

The built-in lock uses a standard key system with two keys provided. The lock mechanism is integrated into the door handle area and provides secure access control. This feature is particularly valuable in shared accommodation, offices, or homes where you want to restrict access to premium beverages or alcohol.

Do I need any special installation or can I plug it in straight away?

The fridge is ready to use immediately after unpacking. Simply position it, adjust the feet for stability and plug into a standard UK socket using the Type G plug. Allow 2-4 hours for the refrigerant to settle before switching on. No special installation or plumbing is required as it's a freestanding unit with automatic defrost.
