How to Choose the Best Beer Fridge for Your Home: A Comprehensive Guide

At this point, I’m sure you’re just as sick of all the research for the best beer fridge as we are. That’s where our expertise comes in!

We know that not everyone needs a massive 60-beer refrigerator with an automatic thermostat, and some people might want something smaller to fit their little apartment or dorm room better.

You’ll need to keep these things in mind when picking out your next appliance: 

Size

When it comes to your next beer fridge, you should think about a few things. First and foremost, make sure that there’s enough space in the room for one!

You might not have considered this before, but many places will measure the dimensions of where you want an appliance installed, so they know what size is needed. You also need to consider if it is an indoor or outdoor refrigerator.

It may sound like overkill at first glance but trust me–you don’t want to find yourself having ordered something too small only because it was on sale or convinced by some guy who said he could install anything anywhere with any amount of time required (also known as ‘a liar’). So take measurements, and don’t forget swing door clearance!!!

Capacity

The capacity of a beer fridge in cubic feet will depend partly on the number of cool beer bottles or can you need to store. The number of bottle holders, wine baskets, beer mugs and even an icemaker may require additional space in your new appliance. If hosting parties and drinking are part of the lifestyle for which this machine will be used, then it’s important to think about the space needed here too!

Shelves/Racks:

It’s no secret that beer fridges with adjustable shelving are a great option if you plan to store wine and other types of alcohol in your fridge. Along the same lines, it may not be as useful for just those who either store cans or bottles unless they also want to adjust their shelves accordingly.

Noise:

Though it is one of the less important aspects, your great beer fridge should be as quiet as possible to avoid disturbing others. If you plan on placing your beer fridge in a living room or kitchen, then a louder model may suffice but if not, invest in an efficient and whisper-quiet machine instead.

Door Types:

French door fridge – The French door style has both refrigerator doors open independently with controls on each side. These are typically used as combined freezer-refrigerator models since they have less usable space than top or bottom mount models.

Bottom mount fridge

The bottom-mounted type is the most common and has a freezer at the top with an internal water/ice dispenser instead of on the door, like in other models.

Top mount refrigerator

This style features all-in-one freezers without any drawer space. They are typically used as combined stand-alone or under-counter fridges since they have less usable space than French doors or side-by-side designs.

Energy Consumption:

The best thing you can do to save money on your electric bill while still buying quality appliances is investing in efficient ones that use minimal power throughout their lifetime (aka Energy Star qualified).

Price:

It’s time we talk about cost – mostly likely one factor driving your purchasing decision. You might not know this, but beer fridges have different costs, like premium finishes and unique features, which can drive up prices on fridges! If you want a budget-friendly option, stick with basics only because some beer fridges are expensive, even if they offer less functionality.

Best beer fridges range between $150-$300 or less, depending on size and features (such as LED lighting).

Lights:

It’s not just about bulb brightness – it’s also the type of light used in refrigerators or the amount that comes in from outside sources like windows. You may want to look for beer fridges with led lights, which are more energy efficient and won’t produce too much heat inside your refrigerator!

Child Lock:

This door lock feature is necessary for the beer fridge for those with children. It ensures that little hands or fingers don’t accidentally open up the beer fridge and run into any of your food!

Exterior Space:

Just because it’s a smaller appliance doesn’t mean you should sacrifice storage space by opting for something small – think about whether there is room outside to store milk, juice boxes, etc.

Ventilation System:

As mentioned above, this feature can help your beer fridge function more efficiently. It ensures that the air inside moves around, preventing it from becoming stagnant and hot.

Power Supply:

If you live in a country with different voltage requirements, check that your beer fridge will work where you live!

Appearance:

This could very well be one of the most personal decisions as there is such an array of colors and styles available on the market today so make sure this fits into what you’re looking for aesthetically before making a final decision – if not, don’t worry because there are many other considerations too!
