[Request] Mini-Fridge for beer

Viscosity · 09-08-2006 07:22PM #1

Basically I'm after a small fridge for holding drinks, mainly bottles and cans of beer. Ideally it should hold a decent amount of large (500ml) cans or bottles like Erdinger.
I've seen loads around but I'm never sure if they have the capacity. My budget stretches to €150 or thereabouts.

Any recommendations ?

Thanks

power city have realy big "bar-style" fridges for 150eu.
i think they have about a 30 litre capacity with a glass door on the front.

howeve, for that money, id probably buy a regular fridge,
mini-fridgesand bar frideges tend to be very noisy due to the fans they use

Have just the thing.

These are very cool I think, can hold 40 500ml cans, €151.99 I think here in Ireland.

If you get one, could you please pm me to let me know what you think? I'm moving into a new house in 3 weeks and am considering one of these for the living room.

I have one for about 8 months, not using it since I moved house as I have no space in the living room.

Pros:
holds way more then those ****ty little fridges,
Keeps beer wine etc nice and cold
has a nice led to let you see what your getting (can be switched off)
makes a great table top to put your glass on (by the couch)

Cons:
It is rated at a C or D engery wise , so i'd say it aint great for the old electicty bills.

Lads: I am sure that I came across fridges like these in Currys Liffey Valley recently. And I don't think (or know) if they were quite that dear. BTW I have no connection with Currys

Thanks for the links lads.

I've had a look and the Stella and Guinness fridges are €144.99 in Argos. Should suit me down to the ground, won't be getting it until college starts next month.

Got a mini fridge in Aldi a few weeks ago, cost about €85, same size as the ones in argos. They may get them back in again.

How noisy are mini-fridges ? We're planning on leaving it in the living room and I'd rather not have a Thermo-King chugging sound drowning out the TV.

validis_ · 11-08-2006 03:06PM

Didnt notice it in my living room ,

heggie · 11-08-2006 05:06PM
