In conclusion, our absorption ECOBAR minibars have a great cooling capacity, helping to keep drinks at an optimal temperature of between 4º and 8ºC, even in places with hot climates, especially in summer, which usually coincides with the high season. Thermoelectric or thermo-absorption minibars have the disadvantage of only being able to create a differential with the ambient temperature of 15º or at most 20ºC and also require much more ventilation if they are installed inside a cabinet. For this reason, these models sometimes use a fan to dissipate excess heat and improve their performance, but in these cases the equipment will make noise.
Our absorption ECOBAR minibars are completely silent, with zero decibels, making sure the guest is undisturbed.
They also offer the longest proven lifespan compared to other types of minibars on the market. This makes them the safest investment. Thermoelectric and thermo-absorption minibars are relatively new to the market, so their long-term durability is yet to be proven.
At Elsafe España, our priority is to offer the best service to hotels since 1981. For this reason, we continue to rely on absorption technology in our silent minibars to ensure the peace of mind of our customers.
