New Whirlpool smart fridge freezer preserves food freshness for longer

Have you ever thought about how much food you waste per year? Many of us continue to harm the environment and burn holes in our pockets by throwing out food that can easily be preserved for much longer with the aid of more thought and a smarter, energy saving refrigerator.

The advent and continued advancement of environmentally friendly kitchen appliances has not only helped to prolong the life of food but also to significantly reduced food and energy bills.

With massive research and development facilities at its disposal, Whirlpool has been a global leader in enhancing the performance of these appliances and the company’s new refrigeration portfolio continues to push the barriers.

The generous, freestanding WBA 33992 NFC IX fridge freezer, styled in high quality stainless steel finish, incorporates Whirlpool’s very latest food preservation technology. The company’s advanced 6th Sense® technology creates the ideal environment for food, ensuring the optimal temperature in the fridge at all times by sensing its variance and restoring it to the correct level five times faster than a conventional model*.

This highly intelligent model, with an A++ energy rating is one of a series of Green Generation appliances, the evolution of combining outstanding performance, high product efficiency, and appliances that make a difference to the environment as well as reducing living expenses.

The WBA 33992 NFC IX features Whirlpool’s 6th Sense® Fresh Control, which preserves food freshness for up to four times longer*. Fresh Control maintains both the temperature and the humidity at a level of 70-85% throughout the entire fridge cavity to ensure long lasting freshness. In addition the special Activ 0º drawer keeps raw meat and fish at their very best and for longer using dual sensors to ensure a temperature of around 0ºC.

The hygiene of this fridge freezer is also exceptional. The entire fridge cavity is protected by Microban® anti-bacterial air filtration system to reduce unpleasant odours and the proliferation of bacteria.

Dalia Haddad, Product Marketing Manager for Whirlpool says: “We take food preservation seriously, and Whirlpool’s latest refrigeration has taken this to yet another level, keeping food fresher up to four times longer.

“Our advanced 6th Sense® technology is as much a help to the environment as it is to saving the consumer precious energy and money. We are very proud that our latest models have been certified by SLG Prüf und Zertifizierungs GmbH**. Proper food preservation and the reduction of food waste are hugely important topics in the current climate, and are rapidly climbing the list of purchasing priorities with a greater number of people.”
