Mini Beverage Fridge
/I’ve been looking for a mini beverage fridge for a few years now. Ron and I wanted one that held a lot of cans of our favorite caffeinated beverages. I know, we need to drink healthier, but sometimes there’s nothing like an ice-cold Diet Coke, or Dr. Pepper Zero. We have it stocked with all our kids and grandkids’ favorite sodas as well. At Grandma Les and Grandpa Ronnie’s house you get to drink whatever soda you want.
We are also strapped for space in our kitchen, and I didn’t want to put it out in the garage. I also wanted it to be cute. I looked up the reviews for the adorable retro looking “Big Chill” beverage fridge, and they weren’t good. I just looked it up again, and it appears they are no longer offering that option anymore. I also thought the “Smeg” mini fridge was cute, but it doesn’t hold very many cans or bottles of soda. I started looking on Amazon, and there are so many options, it’s paralyzing, and in every price range. I could have ordered an inexpensive one from Amazon, however, they all stuck out too far for the small space I had to place it in, many of the reviews said they were loud, and leaked, and they weren’t cute enough. So I waited . . . and now I’m glad I did!
I’ve been seeing ads for a new beverage fridge made by “Rocco.” Not a brand I have ever heard of before, but after reading many reviews decided to take the plunge. You can order it directly from “Rocco,” but I ordered ours through Nordstrom for a couple reasons. Nordstrom has a great return policy, and I also accrued “Nordy Points.” It was a win-win! This cute little fridge checked off all the boxes. It fits perfectly in the only spot available in the kitchen, holds a lot of drinks (we can fit 77 cans of soda) without poking out too far into the room (it’s the perfect depth), it’s so quiet you can hardly hear it at all, the color goes perfectly with our other appliances as well as our kitchen cabinets, it has a flat top that I can set decorations on, it keeps drinks the perfect temperature (you can adjust the top part and the bottom part of the fridge to different temperatures, but we like our drinks as cold as possible so we have both sections set as cold as it will go), the shelves slide in and out and are adjustable, it sits on sturdy legs which allow me to easily clean under it, and it doesn’t leak. But most of all – It’s So Cute! 😊
Yes, it was a bit pricey, but it appears to be made with high quality parts, so we aren’t planning on replacing it anytime soon. This fridge has other options that we don’t use, like Bluetooth to be able to see what’s inside your fridge if you’re at the store and not sure what you’re out of. It also has a light that can stay on all the time, or just when you open the door, which is how we have ours set.
If you have kids, the door is tempered, ribbed glass, so you will want to be a little more careful than normal when you open and close the door. You won’t want to be slamming this one shut. One other word of caution, be sure the shelves are pushed all the way back in before you close the glass door. I was a little concerned about the glass door, but once everyone knows to be a little more careful, I am hopeful this won’t be an issue.
If you’re looking for an adorable little beverage fridge, be sure to check this one out. We absolutely love ours! I know it sounds crazy, but a nice cold drink on a hot summer day brings LIGHT, joy, and happiness into our lives!
This week, look for the things in your life that bring you joy. Even if it’s something you already have in your home. We are so blessed to live in a country with so many options for modern day conveniences. Have a great week!
Love Ya, Les 😊
