In the field of commercial refrigeration equipment, there are various factors that affect the price of ultra-thin vertical beverage refrigerators, including but not limited to manufacturing costs, material prices, tariffs, and transportation costs. According to the latest market analysis in 2025, the market price of a single cabinet is between $130 – $300. They are mostly used in places such as convenience stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. For merchants, a suitable price is very important.
Sharing of 6 price – determining factors for vertical cabinets, analyzed from actual sales data:
I. Product types and price stratification
We roughly divide them into basic refrigeration type, refrigeration – freezing dual – use type, and vertical cabinets with special functions such as intelligent temperature control and energy – saving frequency conversion. The basic refrigeration type has a relatively affordable price and meets the basic beverage refrigeration needs. For example, some basic models of certain brands on the Amazon platform, with a volume of about 100L – 200L, are mostly priced in the range of $300 – $600. In scenarios like small convenience stores or home use, this basic type is cost – effective and has a low daily beverage refrigeration demand.
Of course, due to the richer functions of the refrigeration – freezing dual – use type, the cost increases accordingly, and the price generally ranges from $120 – $250. For example, the prices of some models of the brand nenwell are within this range.
The price of refrigerators with special functions is even higher. The application of technologies such as intelligent temperature control and energy – saving frequency conversion enables precise temperature control and excellent energy consumption performance, and the price may exceed $800.
II. Brand influence and price differences
Analysis of the selling price of brand ultra – thin vertical beverage refrigerators: On the one hand, there is brand premium. Well – known brands have a 20% higher price due to their reputation advantages. Their quality and after – sales service systems are perfect, and the equipment cost is often relatively high. First – tier brands represented by Haier and Aucma generally have higher prices than second – and third – tier brands.
A brand with appeal makes a big difference in competition. Under the same price and the same specifications, the competition between a branded and a non – branded product is completely different. For example, the brand cooluma has a low reputation, resulting in a 60% decline in sales in 2025, while first – tier brands like Midea have positive growth every year.
Although they are the same refrigeration equipment, more market brand reputation is needed, which requires a long – term accumulation of experience.
III. Influence of size and volume on price
Size and volume are important factors affecting the price of vertical cabinets. Generally speaking, the larger the volume, the higher the price. In the market, the volume of common ultra – thin vertical beverage refrigerators ranges from dozens of liters to several hundred liters. Taking the market data statistically analyzed by nenwell as an example, small ultra – thin refrigerators with a volume of about 50L are mostly priced between $110 – $200;
Medium – sized refrigerators with a volume of 100 – 150L are priced at approximately $200 – $300; while large refrigerators with a volume of over 200L usually cost more than $600, and some can even reach over $800.
In terms of size, in addition to considering volume, the particularity of the appearance design also affects the price. For example, some ultra – narrow designed refrigerators, although not large in volume, but because they meet the needs of special spaces, such as being placed in narrow aisles or corners, their price may be $20 – $30 higher than that of regular – sized refrigerators of the same volume.
IV. Functional characteristics determine price level
Functional characteristics are also one of the core factors of the refrigerator price. In addition to the basic refrigeration function, different functional configurations can cause a large price difference. Refrigerators with the air – cooled frost – free function are more expensive than direct – cooled ones. The air – cooled technology can effectively avoid the frosting problem, keep the inside of the refrigerator clean, and the temperature is more uniform and the refrigeration speed is faster. For example, a beverage refrigerator (NW – SC105B) of the brand nenwell that adopts the air – cooled frost – free technology is $40 – $60 more expensive than the direct – cooled product of the same specification.
The intelligent temperature control function also costs $40 – $60 more. It has intelligent sensors and a control system that can precisely adjust the temperature. In addition, functions such as LED lighting, adjustable shelves, and anti – fog glass doors will increase the product price.
V. Market supply and demand and price fluctuations
The market supply – demand relationship has a significant impact on the price of vertical beverage refrigerators. During the peak sales season, such as summer, the demand for beverages surges, and the purchase demand of merchants for refrigerators also rises accordingly. At this time, when supply is in short supply, the price may increase. According to the price monitoring data of the platform, during the peak sales season in summer, the prices of some popular models of refrigerators increased by 5% – 10% compared with the off – season. On the contrary, during the off – season, the market demand is relatively weak. In order to promote sales, manufacturers and distributors may launch various promotional activities, and the price will drop to a certain extent.
In addition, factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices and the industry competition situation will also indirectly affect the supply – demand relationship, resulting in price fluctuations. If the prices of raw materials such as steel and refrigerants rise, the production cost of manufacturers increases, and the product price may be increased accordingly. When the competition in the industry is fierce, merchants may reduce the price to improve the product competitiveness in order to attract customers.
VI. Sales channels and price differences
For different sales channels, online sales, due to relatively low operating costs and fierce competition on the platform, the product price is relatively more transparent, and there are more cost – effective products.
Offline physical stores, such as home appliance stores and refrigeration equipment specialty stores, have relatively higher product prices due to factors such as store rent and personnel costs. Of course, they have a more complete pre – sales and after – sales service, such as professional consultation and on – site installation and debugging.
Whether online or offline, the price is relatively stable, and the product quality and after – sales service are more guaranteed. However, due to brand positioning and operation strategies, there may not be significant price fluctuations and discounts.
The price of ultra – thin vertical beverage cabinets is comprehensively affected by many factors such as types, brands, size and volume, functional characteristics, market supply and demand, and sales channels. When purchasing, merchants should consider these factors comprehensively according to their actual needs, weigh the most suitable products for themselves, pay attention to market trends, and seize the right purchase opportunity to obtain higher cost – performance.
