A lockable door adds an important layer of safety to prevent children from accessing alcoholic beverages, while internal fans ensure rapid, even cooling throughout the cabinet.
What customers say:
Bought this to use in our outdoor bar area. Main criteria was that it held a couple of cases of beer and looked similar to our wine fridge. It's perfect! Beer is beautifully chilled. The only downside for us is the condensation on the glass on a really hot and humid day. But I guess you'd expect that, given the beer is so cold. And as always, Appliances Online provided top quality service and delivery." - MeIE, February 2021
