Expert Review and Insights
The Infrico VBR9SS really nails the sweet spot between robust construction and visual appeal. It’s clear this isn't just a box to keep things cold; it's a merchandising tool. The build quality is typically solid for Infrico, and the inclusion of a night blind as standard is a massive plus for any business conscious of its energy consumption. It’s a smart, reliable choice for high-traffic areas.

- Pros: The AISI 304 steel and LED lighting create a premium, inviting display.
- Cons: As an open-front unit, it's naturally less energy-efficient than a closed-door model.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Flour Pot Bakery in Brighton needed to replace their ageing open-front chiller, which was struggling to maintain temperature during the summer rush and looked dated. They chose the Infrico VBR9SS for its modern look and reputation for reliability.
"The new Infrico unit has completely lifted the look of our front-of-house. Everything is beautifully lit, perfectly chilled, and customers are definitely drawn to it. The night blind is brilliant for saving a bit on the electricity bill, too."
Samuel Jones – Head Baker
Within the first month, they saw a noticeable uptick in drink and sandwich sales, reporting a 20% increase in their 'Meal Deal' offer uptake.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is positioned on a firm, level surface to avoid vibrations and ensure proper drainage.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation to the condenser.
- Plug directly into a suitable 13 amp mains socket – avoid using extension leads.
- Allow the unit to run for a few hours to reach its operating temperature before loading it with products.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Use the pull-down night blind every evening to conserve energy and reduce strain on the compressor.
- Periodically check and clear any debris from the condenser coils to maintain peak cooling efficiency.
- Regularly check the digital temperature display to ensure it's operating within the correct +4°C to +8°C range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of products is this merchandiser best for?
A: Its +4°C to +8°C temperature range is perfect for pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, yoghurts, bottled drinks, and other chilled grab-and-go items.
Q: What does the 'multiplexible' feature mean?
A: It means you can join two or more of these units together side-by-side to create a longer, seamless refrigerated display run.
Q: How does the night blind work?
A: It's a simple, retractable blind that you pull down over the open front at the end of the day to trap cold air inside, saving significant energy overnight.
Q: Does this unit require professional installation?
A: No, it's a 'plug and play' unit. As it runs on a standard 13 amp plug, you just need to position it correctly and plug it into a suitable socket.
