Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ A strong fit for integrated kitchens where a drawer-format cooling appliance is preferred.
- ✓ Useful for households wanting a dedicated space for wine, delicate foods or short-term chilled storage.
- ✓ Suitable for buyers who value configurable storage more than the best available energy rating.
- ✓ The 104-litre capacity may work well as supplementary cooling or for compact, specialist storage needs.
Flexible storage modes
The CoolDrawer’s defining feature is its ability to change between several storage modes. Fridge mode is intended for everyday foods such as fruit, vegetables, dairy products and drinks, while Pantry mode is aimed at foods needing a cool, dark environment.
Freezer mode provides general frozen storage and adds bottle chill, fast freeze and deep freeze functions. Wine mode supports different temperatures for longer-term storage and for white or red wine, while Chill mode is set just above freezing for highly perishable meats, poultry and seafood.
Integration and everyday operation
This is a built-in appliance with a custom finish, allowing it to be matched with kitchen cabinetry; the supplied information states that a furniture door panel is required. That makes installation planning particularly important.
Touch controls and LED lighting are practical additions for a drawer appliance, making it easier to select a mode and see the contents. ActiveSmart temperature management is intended to help maintain the selected storage conditions, although the available information does not provide independent performance testing.
Capacity and efficiency
The 104-litre capacity gives the drawer a useful specialist role, whether used for extra chilled food, frozen items or wine. It is better suited to supplementary or targeted storage than to replacing a large main refrigerator.
The stated E energy rating is a clear consideration. Buyers should weigh the appliance’s unusual flexibility and integrated format against the possibility that a more conventional cooling appliance may offer stronger efficiency or greater capacity.
