Sub-Zero Fridge Uses NASA Air-Purification Technology to Keep Foods Fresh

Sean Fallon — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:20:00 EDT

Generally speaking, refrigerators are not all that exciting unless you're packing in a draught beer system or it is camouflaged for secret office drink parties. However, Sub-Zero models are usually loaded with all kinds of useful features, and their newest model is no exception. It features a NASA designed filtration system that replenishes the air every 20 minutes while eliminating bacteria, odors, and microscopic contaminants. That means food will stay fresher for a longer period of time (and your fridge won't smell like an open sewer). The Built-In Fridge series is slated for a fall release in an array of styles, but no pricing details have been announced.

Sharp's new air purifiers prove that humble household electrical gadgets can actually look quite stylish. These have triple filtration technology, including true HEPA filters to trap the majority of airborne nasties in your home, and their filters only need changing every five years. They can also push a room's relative humidity to 50%, and have a "library quiet" mode. That sounds like a nice function: my purifier makes a heck of a racket on a quiet night. The C100 can clean up 254 square feet rooms, while the C150 can cope with 247 square feet. Available now for $399.99 and $499.99 [7Gadgets]

Is your air too dirty to merely filter? Then check out the Antibac2k. This little rotating sphere one-ups all of the gigantic air filtration systems in the US by proactively sending out an air filtration mist that rids your room of bacteria and dust. Think of it as Purel for the air. And if that's not enough, the thing looks like a space age spinning disco ball full of LED goodness. [Product Page via Tokyo Mango]
