Liebherr is known for product excellence and innovation in freestanding, fully integrated, built-in and wine storage refrigeration units.Liebherr takes the lead in both environmentally conscious manufacturing practices and energy efficient products.Key product features and why they are important:Better Food PreservationHighlighted by dual refrigeration and Liebherr's patented BioFresh® system, Liebherr products create the ideal climate for perfect preservation and long-term freshness. BioFresh® is unparalleled in the industry – high humidity compartments actually create an environment where vitamins in fresh fruit and vegetables can continue to grow. Groceries last longer and are more nutritious.Better Use of SpaceInnovative FrostSafe freezer drawers keep cold air from escaping when the door is open. These individual transparent drawers make all items easy to see and access – even at the very back of a bottom mount refrigerator. Liebherr's removable and flexible drawer system, called VarioSpace, allows expansion for oversized items such as a turkey or large container. Better Energy Efficiency and Noise ControlThe refrigerator is the only appliance in the home that runs 24/7. For this reason, high efficiency is essential for energy savings and the environment. Liebherr's variable temperature compressors are always on at the perfect speed – there are no “on” and “off” surges that eat up power. Competitive products place their compressors on top at the front of the unit and essentially, act like a speaker to the kitchen. Liebherr compressor systems are at the bottom and the back, and are therefore SuperQuiet - virtually silent to the human ear.Beautiful, Contemporary DesignWith strong European influences, the sleek look of Liebherr products hold strong appeal to every kitchen décor. Liebherr offers the professional styling of stainless steel finishes or the choice to use with an overlay or framed to match cabinetry. This flexibility and the attention to detail is coveted by the design trade.The list of green achievements by Liebherr, is a long one, and ActiveGreen best summarize Liebherr's proactive stance.
