Whirlpool, the world’s leading manufacturer of major home appliances, offers a number of statement side-by-side refrigerators that help food stay fresher for longer whilst looking like the ultimate design icon with its flush exterior and stunning colour options.

The Whirlpool Nova American-style fridge freezer is a winning combination of seamless good looks, internal flexibility and food preservation technologies. The refrigerator features minimal design, mirrored glass and an integrated handle, which makes the design of this side-by-side unique to Whirlpool and it perfectly matches the company’s built-in appliance collection. Whirlpool’s Nova WSG5588A+M fridge freezer helps keep food fresher for longer whilst the anti-bacterial filter with Microban® technology prevents the formation of bacteria within the fridge.

Whirlpool’s intelligent 6th Sense® technology uses electronic sensors to detect any temperature rise and will adapt immediately to restore the correct temperature up to five times faster than standard fridges*; this is particularly important after door opening and means that food will stay fresher longer – reducing food waste and saving the consumer money.

The statement Whirlpool Nova side-by-side offers an extra degree of food safety thanks to an anti-bacterial air filtration system with Microban® technology. The air filtration system is designed to reduce bacteria build-up and unpleasant odours within the refrigerator.

Dalia Haddad, Product Marketing Manager for Whirlpool says: “The Whirlpool Nova side-by-side fridge freezer has renowned 6th Sense® technology, which restores the appliance to the ideal temperature, and very quickly after door opening, to ensure food stays fresher for longer.

“The addition of an anti-bacterial filtration system with Microban® technology reduces bacteria build-up and odours, and so the refrigerator offers extra peace of mind.”
