Elegant satin white finish and the same side panel treatment as on more expensive side-by-side models.

Exceptionally quiet and under 200 kWh annual consumption.

This is achieved with inverter compressor technology familiar from air-source heat pumps.

(On–off technology was banned in the EU a few years ago for being energy-inefficient in heat pumps.)

Inverter technology is coming strongly to refrigerators this year — such compressors are more durable, quieter, at least 20% more efficient and provide steadier cooling.

One of the biggest improvements to domestic refrigeration this millennium.

The appliance has a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Old Mikko has sold household appliances for 60 years and this kind of machine really excites him.
