An under the counter beverage fridge is exactly what it sounds like: a compact refrigerator designed to fit beneath standard counters. Unlike a standard fridge, these units are specifically tailored to store cans, bottles, and sometimes even wine.
There are a couple of common types, including:
- 15” Under Counter Beverage Fridges: Slim and space-saving, perfect for smaller kitchens, bars, or offices.
- 24” Under Counter Beverage Fridges: The most popular size, offering more capacity.
Of course, there are plenty of other sizes to choose from, depending on what brand you’re looking at. Plus, many of today’s models also come in panel-ready designs so they can blend into your cabinetry or stainless steel finishes for a modern look.
