Our verdict

This narrow fridge solves a specific under-counter space problem, and works especially well for can-only storage rather than bottles.

Overview

This 12 inch wide beverage refrigerator from Whynter is built for narrow under-counter gaps, with a stainless-trimmed double tempered glass door and a rated capacity of 75 standard 12 oz cans spread across 3 adjustable wire shelves plus a small bottom shelf.

Its main selling point is the footprint: at 11.75 inches wide it slots into narrow built-in gaps, such as the space left by a removed trash compactor, that a standard 15 or 24 inch beverage fridge cannot. The tradeoff several buyers flag is that the shelves are sized and spaced for cans, so loading it with bottles instead means removing shelves and losing rated capacity.

  • 75-can capacity across 4 shelves
  • 34-54F digital temperature range with auto defrost
  • Double tempered glass door, UV-isolating
  • 11.75in W x 22.25in D x 34in H

Who it's for

Good for kitchens with a leftover narrow cabinet slot, or anyone building a built-in bar or rec room setup who needs can storage rather than a mix of cans and bottles. Not the right choice if bottle storage is the priority, since the shelf spacing is not designed for that.
