The New In-counter Cooling Cylinder

U-Chill In-counter Cooling Cylinder

The kitchen has always been the heart of the home and with homeowners requesting even more flexible use of spaces, the open floor plan and use of the kitchen for working and entertaining isn’t going to decrease any time soon. With the demand for flexible space I’m also seeing a rise in the request for smart storage solutions.

A new, innovative cooling system designed to maintain a near-constant temperature of chilled beverages while you enjoy them is sure to have multi-generation appeal. The U-Chill from U-line is an in-counter system perfect for champagne, craft beer, wine, bottle water or beverage carafes of your choice.

No Drips, No Maintenance

Using patented Kryolux™  technology, a curtain of cool air surrounds the bottle keeping it within 2-4 degrees of it’s opening temperature. The bottle stays dry so there are no annoying drips from the bottle or from condensation that often forms on the outside of ice bins.

Endless Possibilities

What do you do when you take your bottle of prosecco or craft beer out of the refrigerator to serve it? Typically it sits out at room temperature, warming up quickly, or it’s placed into an ice bucket, cooling it down too much, resulting in flavor compromise. If you’ve carefully stored your beverage at the optimum temperature, shouldn’t you enjoy it that way too?

As long as your bottle is under 3-7/8” in diameter, it will fit in the U-Chill unit.
