Overview
A dorm room, an office corner or a basement game room is where this Avanti counter-high fridge belongs. The compressor cools one fresh food cabinet with slide-out glass shelves, a full width chiller and in-door storage. A flush back and reversible door let it stand wherever the floor space is.
The lock at the base of the door matters in shared housing. What it lacks is any freezer section, and the maker says it must stand free with ventilation room, so it cannot be enclosed in cabinetry.
Who it's for
Suits a student room, a break room or a home bar that wants cold cans and chilled snacks behind a lockable door. Someone who needs to store frozen food or wants a flush built-in look should choose a different model.
Pros and cons
- Energy Star rated
- Reversible door swing
- Slide-out glass shelves
- Full width chiller compartment
- No freezer section
- Freestanding only, not for built-in use
- Temperature control type not listed
Performance notes
Cooling comes from a compressor, so the cabinet reaches and holds temperature regardless of how warm the room gets. Automatic defrost cycles the evaporator so frost does not build up and choke airflow. Because the maker requires freestanding placement, the air gap around the back and sides decides how hard the compressor works.
