Can a beverage center be used as an undercounter food fridge?
Comments (8)Look at Perlick for undercounter refrigeration. They have fridegs, freezers, wine coolers, drawers and combinations. Perlick makes the undercounter units used in stadiums and a lot of restaurants and bars. They are energy star rated, have a variable speed compressor, are no louder than a standard fridge, and have stainless steel drawers with glides that will hold more weight than I could figure out how to put in them. They can be integrated or have stainless fronts. We have the fridge drawers in out breakfast/coffee hutch and may put freezer drawers in our laundry room to get some counter space there....See MoreHelp! Need undercounter bar fridge
Comments (7)I replaced a SZ with a GE Monogram. I was going to replace it with another SZ but when I went to look at it the ice maker was 6 inches off the floor. What is that about?! How stupid! Go to GE appliances.com. This is not easy to find on this site as I had trouble finding it every time I was looking at it. I looked for an hour before this post to find it. GE Monogram Bar Refrigerator Module #ZIB524OPSS. Great unit! The ice maker is a fully sealed, suspension unit which pulls out past the edge of the counter top and is waist high. You can use an ice scoop due to this and poeple don't have to stick their hands in the ice to make a drink. I leave the scoop in the bin. I am able to open the door as many times as I want and the temp in the ice bin is unaffected, it does not shrink or get stuck together as it is sealed in the freezer. You are able to turn the ice maker off with a switch and not have to deal with that wire bail handle which the others have. The vent is in the toe kick and then look at all of the specs and the PDF file. The bottom pull out wine shelf holds 36 cans when turned on the side. I love this thing....See MoreBuilt in beverage coolers/wine fridge pricing.
Comments (2)I'm starting to do my research and it seems like the $700 fridge has good reviews, but some people were posting about the noise. We are usually watching tv or cooking and I didn't think a little noise would be a problem....See MoreUndercounter Fridge/Wine Cooler Reliability
Comments (4)Most of the reviews of anything has complaints. People who are totally satisfied rarely write reviews, and even they are willing to point out drawbacks to be useful. Consumer Reports base their scores on value for the money, rather than utility or pleasure. An under counter fridge is never going to give as much value for the dollar as a full sized one on capacity alone. Add to that that the prices trend higher for specialty appliances which don't have economies of scale or the ability to be profitable on low margins, let alone inventory costs and the like, plus, small units tend to be loud or heavily engineered and thereby expensive. Fridges are simple things. Even wine fridges which require more precise temperature controls. But you get what you pay for. Just because it has a smaller capacity doesn't mean it should have a smaller price. It needs all the same equipment as a big fridge, plus has to squeeze it all into a small space. If you're willing to pay a big fridge price, you'll find some with better reviews....See Morelascatx
