Dometic Coolmatic CRX: The Evolution of Efficiency
The Dometic Coolmatic CRX range is designed to cater to the needs of caravan and motorhome owners, operating seamlessly on both 12/24-volts DC and 100-240 volts AC. This series takes over from the well-known Waeco Coolmatic fridge freezer, with notable improvements.
Improved Efficiency and Energy Usage
One of the standout features of the CRX series is its enhanced energy efficiency. Despite maintaining the same dimensions as previous models, the CRX is designed to use power more efficiently, translating to longer operation without straining your power sources.
Precision Temperature Control
Dometic has fine-tuned the temperature control functionality in the CRX range. This means you have greater control over the internal climate, ensuring your perishables stay at their optimum temperatures, regardless of the external conditions.
Reduced Noise Levels
No one wants a noisy fridge in their recreational space. The CRX series addresses this concern by significantly reducing operational noise levels. This enhancement adds to the overall comfort of your RV experience.
Dometic NRX: The Next Frontier in Refrigeration
As the Dometic NRX fridge freezer range has now been released, we can confidently affirm that it has surpassed the high standards set by the CRX series. Building on Dometic's renowned commitment to innovation, the NRX range showcases notable advancements in energy efficiency, temperature control, and noise reduction.
The 5 refrigerator models ranging from 44L to 126L boast an elegant frameless door with a dark grey front panel, complemented by a convenient full-width handle, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic. The interior is versatile, featuring a removable freezer compartment that allows users to maximize the cabinet's capacity for refrigeration purposes.
3 in 1 cooling solution: these refrigerators can function as a fridge, freezer, or both simultaneously. The energy-efficient high-end compressor comes with three operating modes—ECO, Performance, and Quiet—providing flexibility based on specific needs.
Adaptability: The NRX refrigerators come with a reversible door hinge for simple left or right customization. The dual-function locks not only secure your items but also act as vents for the fridge. The modular installation frame, available in standard or flush-mount options, makes it easy to adapt and integrate the NRX refrigerators into different settings.
