What Does The NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer Have To Offer?
First and foremost, the key feature that stands out is its ability to change from all fridge, to all freezer, or a combination of both - aptly named the Dometic Fridge Freezer! Removing the freezer section from the top of your fridge, allows the entire unit to freeze down to -7 degrees. Perfect to store your catch until you get home from your next fishing adventure! Or if a freezer isn't a priority for you, remove the freezer compartment to increase your fridge space.
The NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer features a new and improved Huayi compressor, which has improved the energy efficiency across all models by up to 9%. This is an important factor in keeping power usage to a minimum, which can make all the difference during an off grid adventure. Even the design of the NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer has seen changes, including a new frameless door with a dark grey front panel and a convenient full-width door handle. Alongside a refreshed interior design, these changes make the NRX a modern and sleek fridge. Be the envy of your mates when you pop open your canopy!
Dometic has thought outside the box when designing the NRX fridge. This Dometic Fridge Freezer now comes with an open door alarm. Not only will this help save power if the kids leave the door open, but you’ll get ample warning to lock it when leaving the campsite. Don’t arrive at your next destination with the milk all over the floor again! They have also redesigned the latch with a sliding open direction indicator, making it quick and easy to lock the Dometic Fridge Freezer before travelling.

How Does It Compare To The CRX Range?
If you have an existing CRX fridge fitted snugly in your caravan then never fear, the NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer range have minimal dimensional changes to the CRX. The changeover has never been so easy. The NRX range also comes in slightly lighter than its predecessor. Being 1-3 kg lighter, this Dometic Fridge Freezer range is a great option for your canopy or camper when keeping weight to a minimum.
Due to the powerful high-end compressor we mentioned before, the NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer range now gives you a choice of three operating modes: Eco for maximum energy efficiency, Performance mode for a quick cool-down, Quiet for a peaceful night’s sleep. Swap between the three modes easily on the illuminated touch control panel, that’s neatly integrated inside the cabinet.
With these functions you can improve the efficiency of your fridge if you are running low on power when off-grid, or finally get a peaceful night sleep after having a noisy, old compressor. Simply change to the Silent mode and the compressor and fan will run with lower speed and the cut in/cut out temperature will be extended to limit the compressors stop/start.
We all know how important it is to keep the champagne safe when heading to your holiday destination. The NRX Dometic Fridge Freezer range of fridges come equipped with an improved bottle holder in the bottom shelf of the fridge door. It suits a variety of bottle widths and helps keep all bottles sturdy while travelling. There are 2 wire shelves to support more food and keep the twin crispers free from damage due to weight.
