ARES Cool MOMCUBE® 1.4 Cu. Ft. Countertop Breast Milk Freezer

Description

ARES Cool MOMCUBE® 1.4 Cu. Ft. Countertop Breast Milk Freezer – Product Highlights

• Dedicated all-freezer design gives the whole cabinet to frozen milk rather than splitting it with a refrigerated compartment, so a room banking milk is not competing for space.
• Door lock fitted as standard keeps patient-specific human milk secured in a shared clinical space without adding a separate cabinet.
• Countertop footprint sits on a bench or counter, so frozen capacity can be added to a lactation or milk prep room without altering the casework.
• Reversible door hinges either way, which is what makes the unit workable in a corner or beside fixed equipment.
• Manual defrost keeps the cabinet mechanically simple and puts defrost timing under staff control rather than on an automatic cycle.
• Dial thermostat sets the cabinet without a menu, which suits a unit that is set once and left alone rather than adjusted per use.
• Removable wire shelf divides the interior for organising milk by collection date, or lifts out entirely for taller stored containers.
• ETL and ETL-C listed for electrical safety in US and Canadian facilities, running from a standard wall outlet with no dedicated service.
• Pairs with a matched countertop refrigerator for rooms running both chilled and frozen milk — the 1.7 cu. ft. Plus Series countertop freezer covers slightly larger volumes.
• Part of the ARES Cool proprietary line, distributed exclusively by ARES Scientific, which also spans laboratory chest freezers for bulk frozen inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions – ARES Cool MOMCUBE® 1.4 Cu. Ft. Countertop Breast Milk Freezer

What is a countertop breast milk freezer used for?

It holds expressed human milk frozen in the room where milk is collected, prepared, or dispensed. Working volume is 1.4 cubic feet, sized for a single lactation room, milk prep area, or postpartum unit rather than for bulk banking. The cabinet is an all-freezer, so the full interior stays frozen instead of being divided with a refrigerated section.

What is the difference between this and a breast milk refrigerator?

A refrigerator holds milk chilled for near-term use; this cabinet freezes it, which is what extends storage beyond the short window chilled milk allows. Rooms that do both typically run a chilled unit and a frozen unit side by side rather than a single refrigerator and freezer combination, because a combo splits capacity between the two.

Does the freezer lock?

Yes, the door is fitted with a lock. Frozen human milk is patient-specific material, and a lock is what allows the cabinet to sit in a shared clinical room rather than a secured store. Keying and access control are the facility’s to manage.

Does the unit require plumbing or a dedicated electrical circuit?

No plumbing or drain connection is listed in the manufacturer specifications. It runs on 115 V AC at 60 Hz and draws 1.0 amp, so a standard wall outlet is sufficient and no dedicated circuit is specified. The unit is ETL and ETL-C listed for electrical safety in US and Canadian facilities.

How does it compare to a chest freezer for milk banking?

A chest freezer holds far more but stacks its contents, which makes retrieving a specific dated container slow. This cabinet is front-opening with a shelf, so staff reach an individual item without unloading others. Sites banking large volumes usually pair a room unit like this with a 15 cu. ft. manual defrost chest freezer held centrally.
