It was her grandmother’s fridge. The kind with chrome handles, a hum like an idling Chevrolet, and a freezer that never truly defrosted. Tucked in the corner of a warm kitchen with Formica counters and a calendar pinned to the wall, that refrigerator wasn’t just a place to chill milk—it was a witness to summer lemonade, Sunday leftovers, and long conversations with neighbors who didn’t knock.
Years later, in a loft in Austin, she reached for a bottle of Prosecco behind a soft-glowing LED, and there it was again. That feeling. That whisper of the past. Only now, it had a stainless steel finish and a built-in ice maker.
This was the Equator RFI 1200 S—an homage to memory with the form and function of the future.
Inspired by the Past. Designed for the Present.
Sleek, seamless, and brilliantly practical, the RFI 1200 S Bottom Freezer Refrigerator-Freezer takes cues from classic craftsmanship and reinterprets them for the contemporary kitchen. It is thoughtfully proportioned at 73.2 inches tall and just over 23 inches wide—ideal for urban condos, beach retreats, or compact culinary sanctuaries where space matters and beauty is non-negotiable.
Its total 11.6 cu. ft. capacity is carved into carefully optimized zones: 8.2 cu. ft. for fresh groceries, with adjustable glass shelves trimmed in silver, and 3.4 cu. ft. below for frozen essentials, including three drawers for organized stacking. And of course, a built-in automatic ice maker—quietly producing up to 1.8 lbs. of ice daily—no trays, no spills, no apologies.

The Details That Matter Most
With a whisper-quiet 39 dBA operation, the RFI 1200 S disappears into the rhythm of your home, letting its features do the talking. From its fingerprint-resistant exterior and recessed handle, to the fan ventilation and top-positioned LED lighting, everything feels intuitive and refined.
The Super Cooling and Super Freezing modes ensure rapid freshness for spontaneous grocery hauls. A high-temperature alarm watches over your perishables. And if you’re planning a getaway, simply activate Holiday Mode and let the fridge do the thinking while you’re away.
This is not a unit that demands your attention. It earns your respect.
Flexibility Meets Faithful Function
For those who respect precision, the fridge’s temperature range of 35°F to 46°F, with a chiller drawer dipping as low as 30.2°F, gives you the kind of climate control that sommeliers and salad enthusiasts dream about. The freezer? A brisk 5°F to -11°F, perfect for preserving everything from gelato to wild-caught salmon.
The reversible door allows for installation flexibility, whether it’s nestled between cabinets or standing solo like a piece of minimalist sculpture. And its flat back design and adjustable front feet ensure a clean, tailored fit wherever it’s placed.
The Next Chapter in Cold Storage
There’s something romantic about a refrigerator that does more than cool. One that protects, preserves, and performs with quiet integrity. The Equator RFI 1200 S does all of that—and does it with the dignity of a machine built for the long haul.
So go ahead—stock the deli drawer, toss the fresh herbs in the crisper, and let the ice maker hum in the background.
This isn’t just refrigeration.
It’s a return to grace, reimagined in stainless steel.
