Overview
The NewAir NOF160SS00 is a 24 inch outdoor beverage fridge built from 304 stainless steel and rated to hold 160 cans. It fits standard 24 inch under-counter openings for built-in use or rolls on casters as a freestanding unit, with an auto-closing door and lock. Aimed at patios and outdoor kitchens rather than indoor kitchen space.
Several owners who bought multiples over a couple of years reported steady performance, but the sample also includes reports of the unit icing up and losing airflow, plus a set temperature running a few degrees warmer than displayed. The included casters can let the fridge roll away from the counter each time the door opens, so owners installing it flush against cabinetry may prefer the leveling legs instead. Door handle installation involves peeling back a rubber gasket to reach the mounting screws, a step more than one buyer found unclear.
- 24 inch built-in or freestanding install
- 160 can stainless steel capacity
- Auto-closing door with lock
- Cools to as low as 32F outdoors
Who it's for
Suits an outdoor kitchen or patio setup where a dedicated can fridge stays put through heat and weather, especially for anyone wanting the flush built-in look. Not the right pick for buyers expecting whisper-quiet operation or a plug-and-play handle install.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who kept theirs running for a couple of years reported steady cooling in Florida and 90-plus degree heat, and several called the handle installation simple once they understood the gasket step. Others reported the unit icing up and losing airflow, a set temperature running warmer than displayed, and casters letting it roll away from the counter when the door opened. A few owners who needed warranty service described long delays and unhelpful support from NewAir.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 304 stainless steel resists rust and UV exposure outdoors
- 160 can capacity in a 24 inch footprint
- Auto-closing door and built-in lock
- Adjustable shelves plus interior LED lighting
- Door handle installation is fiddly for several owners
- Set temperature can run a few degrees warmer than displayed
- Casters let the unit shift when the door opens unless leveling legs are used instead
- Customer service response on defective units drew repeated complaints
Performance notes
The compressor and fan system is rated to hold temperatures down to 32F even in outdoor heat, with digital controls for setting the target. Auto-closing hinges pull the door shut to limit cold air loss between visits, and interior LED lighting helps with access after dark. Real-world readings from owners varied, with the set point sometimes running a few degrees warmer than displayed.
