The compressor minibar: the choice for maximum cooling power
01

Resistance to extreme climates

Resorts in tropical locations, beach bungalows without 24/7 air conditioning, or attic rooms reaching 35°C in summer: in these scenarios thermoelectric or absorption technologies struggle.

The compressor guarantees internal temperatures of 4°C regardless of the external climate.

02

Rapid temperature recovery

In environments with high beverage turnover, where the guest frequently opens the door and staff insert warm bottles to be cooled quickly, the mechanical thrust of the compressor is unmatched.

Frequently asked questions

Is the compressor minibar very noisy?

Hotel models use small-displacement insulated compressors (around 38 dB), similar to the background noise of a computer, but they are not as silent as absorption.

Does it consume more energy?

On the contrary! Reaching the temperature quickly, the compressor turns off. It is often in class D or E, proving highly efficient.
