Space Philosophy Tailored for Japanese Homes

With an average living area of just 19.6 square meters per person in Japan, “space shortage” is a common issue for many households. The Dreame Slimate series refrigerators are designed based on extensive research into Japanese housing structures, with every dimension meticulously calculated.

The 126L model, with ultra-compact dimensions of 455mm (width) x 525mm (depth) x 1265mm (height), occupies just 0.13 tatami mats (0.2 sqm), equivalent to one-eighth of a standard tatami mat. This design allows the refrigerator to seamlessly integrate into typical Japanese studio apartments, small offices, and even capsule hotels.

The 220L model features an ultra-narrow body design of 480mm, enabling easy installation and smooth door opening even in narrow Japanese kitchen aisles, addressing the challenge of conventional refrigerators requiring ample space for door swing. These precise dimensions are based on millimeter-level calculations derived from visit surveys conducted by Dreame in over 100 typical Japanese households.

Precision Design and Capacity for Japanese Lifestyles

Japanese households exhibit distinct regional characteristics in food procurement and consumption habits. Based on thorough market research, Dreame’s Slimate refrigerators offer storage space configurations that align with local needs.

The 126L model features a balanced design of a 35L freezer compartment and a 91L refrigerator compartment, ideally suited for the 3-5 day food storage needs of Japanese singles and young couples. This configuration considers the increasing consumption of frozen foods in Japan, meeting daily demands while eliminating wasted space.

The 220L model particularly enhances its freezing capabilities, equipped with smooth-sliding freezer drawers. This design facilitates the storage and retrieval of various frozen foods, responding to the rapid growth of Japan’s frozen food market.

Value-Added Heat-Resistant Top Plate, Inverter Air-Cooling, and User-Friendly Operation

Another characteristic of Japanese homes is the maximized utilization of vertical space. Dreame’s Slimate refrigerators feature an innovative heat-resistant top plate, allowing common kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens and rice cookers to be safely placed on top. This effectively adds 0.2 square meters of valuable workspace to Japanese kitchens.

This design is based on survey results from 500 households in Tokyo’s 23 wards, which revealed that over 62% of households faced a shortage of kitchen countertop space. Dreame’s engineering team conducted over 3,000 hours of heat resistance tests to ensure the structural stability and cooling efficiency of the refrigerator’s top surface, even when supporting high-temperature appliances for extended periods.

Japanese consumers also demand high levels of convenience and smart features in their home appliances. The Dreame Slimate 220L model incorporates inverter air-cooling technology, completely eliminating the need for periodic manual defrosting common in conventional refrigerators. This technology also helps preserve the original texture of food and avoids the problem of food surface drying often seen in direct-cooling refrigerators.

The electronic control panel features an intuitive interface, specifically considering the operating habits of middle-aged and elderly users in Japan. Temperature adjustment and mode switching are clear at a glance, significantly reducing operational complexity.

Dreame’s Global Expansion and High Recognition from Japan to the World

As a global high-end brand specializing in smart manufacturing, Dreame consistently focuses on pushing product boundaries. At the AWE exhibition in 2025, several of the company’s large home appliances attracted significant attention, and by September of that year, pre-orders for Dreame’s large home appliances exceeded 2 billion yuan. Currently, products are successfully exported to Europe, Southeast Asia, and other regions.

To meet the needs of various global markets, Dreame offers a diverse product line. In addition to the Slimate series tailored for specific Japanese needs, the company has introduced the Mega series of ultra-slim, large-capacity refrigerators for larger homes in Europe, America, and emerging countries. Through ultra-thin foam layers and embedded airflow designs, the Mega series increases volume capacity by 17-19% compared to products of similar size, resolving the conflict between large capacity and limited kitchen space.

Furthermore, Dreame has developed various ice makers, including the Aura Bullet (bullet-shaped ice), CrystalCube (cubed ice), and CrispBite (chewable ice), to cater to diverse cold beverage needs in households, demonstrating a deep understanding of global market diversity.

Since its debut at IFA, Dreame refrigerators have received purchase orders from distributors in dozens of countries, including Southern and Western Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and emerging regions. Dreame’s sparkling water refrigerator has been well-received in the European and American markets and won the Japan G-Mark Design Award in 2025. The Slimate series refrigerators for the Japanese market embody “meticulous design down to the smallest detail.” These authoritative certifications and market support underscore Dreame’s continued global market expansion and its confidence in its profound product technology and ability to redefine the home refrigeration experience.
