Why Invest in a Quiet Wine Fridge?
Here at Expert Wine Storage, we stock a wide range of quiet wine fridges for your home or commercial space.
We have a selection of superior products from brands such as Dunavox, Swisscave, Liebherr, and Avintage, in a range of shapes and sizes designed to fit perfectly into your kitchen cabinetry or living space.
1. Optimal Temperature With Whisper Quiet Sound
Quiet wine fridges are specifically designed to be almost silent. A cooler operating below 40 dB (decibel) is barely audible most of the time, while a unit working at 39 dB is very hushed, and 36 dB is practically silent.
Compared to a regular kitchen fridge, a quiet wine fridge needs to keep its contents at a precise, stable temperature between 5-20°C. In a single zone, one temperature is constant, while in a dual zone unit two independent temperatures are being maintained by the compressor.
The extra effort required to keep these zones climate controlled is why steps are taken by manufacturers to reduce noise.
2. Quiet Wine Fridges with Hushed Cooling System
Until March 2021, when EU regulations changed and banned this type of cooling system, wine fridges were available with almost mute thermoelectric-based cooling systems. Thermoelectric cooling has a low sound output as there are few moving parts to create any noise.
However, this type of cooling mechanism also introduced large swings in temperature within the wine fridge - these fluctuations in temperature are not seen with modern-day compressor-cooled fridges like the ones on offer at EWS.
3. Features of a Quiet Wine Fridge
Along with looking at the low decibel rating of the device, here are a few features to look for in a noise-sensitive model:
- Vibration-free compressor: Many compressor-based units are fitted with cutting-edge vibration dampening technology, like seen in the Dunavox wine fridge range here, that limits and stops vibrations at the source. The compressor is typically the main source of noise output.
- Shock absorbing shelves: Choose a high-end model with shelving housed on shock reducing fittings and smooth, sliding rails.
