Igloo ICF fridge freezers: the tech behind the chill
The iceless fridge freezers in Igloo’s ICF range are true summer essentials if you value cracking open a cold one when the mercury is high

OVER THE RECENT long weekend, I, like many others, decided to take a trip to the beach with a few cold drinks in tow. This was a particularly hot day, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees, so believe me, refreshment was needed. But by the time I’d driven 20 minutes to the beach, and jumped into the ocean for a swim, I discovered the ice I was using to cool my beverages had already started melting. And just like that, my drinks were too warm to enjoy. I needed a more efficient solution.
This is a scenario I’m sure many of you reading this will be familiar with. We live in a hot country and keeping drinks cool in summer is no easy task, especially when you’re relying on ice. Ice is heavy, it takes up a ridiculous amount of space, creates quite the mess once it inevitably melts, leaves food soggy, and unless you’ve got a top-of-the-line fridge freezer, it won’t actually stay frozen for very long.
That’s why your best bet is investing in something that ditches ice altogether, like an iceless fridge freezer.

Now that you’re convinced that an iceless fridge freezer is more of a need than a want, you should know where to get one. Well, it doesn’t get much colder, tougher, more convenient or stylistically cooler than an Igloo, and in our opinion, the brand’s ICF range is the future of cooling.
In technical terms, the ICF range are iceless, electric compressor fridge freezers. They’re designed to keep cool even in the hottest climates – like our own here in Australia – with a sturdy, durable design. Whether you’re battling extreme heat or fluctuating temperatures, the ICF range can handle it.
One of the biggest benefits the ICF range holds is that you can adjust the temperature of the fridge freezers. With temperature control ranging all the way from -18°C to 20°C, you can choose precise cooling to suit whatever the day calls for. Just plug it in, set the temperature you want and a light will tell you when the fridge freezer is ready to be filled with your drinks and snacks. You sure can’t do that with ice. What’s more, with the dual zone ICF 80DZ, you can set different temperatures in each of the two compartments for when you want drinks to be ice-cold but your food just chilled.
Of course, we also can’t overlook how much space going iceless saves. Ice can take up well over half of a fridge freezer’s space, leaving little room for anything else. With no ice needed, there’s more space for what you actually want: drinks and food. Plus, let’s not forget that in the absence of ice the fridge freezer becomes much lighter and easier to move around.
If we’ve convinced you of the necessity of getting your own fridge freezer, the ICF range is available exclusively at Anaconda stores and online. The range comes in four sizes: 18 litres, 40 litres, 60 litres and the dual-zone 80 litres. so there’s an option for every lifestyle and every occasion. There’s no tech-savviness needed either. Just plug it in, set it to your desired temperature and you’re ready to go.
With just one month of summer left, our advice is to buy now, splurge on express shipping and enjoy a few cold ones.
