Overview
The KoolMore KM-PRC-F18 is the 18 inch version of the brand's Reserve panel ready column freezer, holding 8.6 cu ft with frost free cooling and a built-in crescent ice maker. It is ETL listed and Energy Star rated, and like its 24 inch sibling ships without the cabinet panel.
This narrower column trades capacity for a smaller footprint compared to the 24 inch KM-PRC-F24, useful where kitchen space is tighter but a panel matched, built-in freezer is still the goal. The same -11F to 7F frost free range and ice maker output carry over from the larger model.
- Panel Ready 18 inch column freezer
- ETL listed, Energy Star rated
- 8.6 cu ft frost free storage
- Automatic ice maker, up to 3.9 lbs per day
Who it's for
Suits a smaller kitchen or narrower cabinetry run that still wants a panel matched, built-in column freezer with an automatic ice maker. Anyone needing more than 8.6 cu ft of storage should look at the 24 inch KM-PRC-F24 instead.
Pros and cons
- Compact 18 inch width for tighter kitchen runs
- Frost free cooling, -11F to 7F
- Built-in crescent ice maker
- Soft-close drawers and adjustable glass shelves
- 8.6 cu ft is less storage than the 24 inch KM-PRC-F24
- Panel not included, requires a separate purchase
Performance notes
The frost free system maintains -11F to 7F without manual defrost cycles, and three adjustable glass shelves at up to 55 lbs each work with four soft-close drawers and three door bins to organize a mix of bagged and boxed items. The crescent ice maker matches the 24 inch model's output of up to 3.9 lbs a day.
