Small (2-3cube) Drinks Fridge Without Freezer
Small (2-3cube) Drinks Fridge Without Freezer
I'm looking for a small fridge that would be used to store nothing but canned and bottled beverages. I don't want or need a freezer compartment. All of the ones I've looked at seem to have some sort of freezer compartment which require manual or partially manually defrosting. I want to avoid that. I also don't want to advertise my beverage preferences via a glass door.
I find that there are many such fridges available in the US, but haven't found one locally.
Why do I need this? Long sad story. While we were in the US last month our kitchen fridge failed. We purchased, sight unseen, a replacement based solely on our memory of the size of the existing fridge. We remembered wrong and bought one about three cubic feet smaller than the old one. The new one is uncomfortably jammed. I figure the easiest solution is to offload the beverages.

I had looked at HomePro and other sites earlier, but all the ones I checked have some sort of freezer.PeteC wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 8:26 am Try looking at the below HomePro site. They have many or varying sizes.

I’m sure that most of the small hotels have compact fridges with no freezer, so they must be available - have you tried Big Kiang?
Re: Small (2-3cube) Drinks Fridge Without Freezer
Not the ones we stay in. They all have freezer compartments, which are essential to us for my wife's insulin ice packs. If we ever found a hotel without a freezer compartment, we couldn't stay there.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:42 pm I’m sure that most of the small hotels have compact fridges with no freezer.

Oh well, things must have changed over the past years since I frequented the lower end of the hotel market - I’d still give Big Kiang a try if you haven’t already done so.
Re: Small (2-3cube) Drinks Fridge Without Freezer
^Big Kiang have a range of glass fronted display fridges for commercial use.
They have some tall narrow ones, they're still quite big by household standards but if you have the room, they're pretty useful when full of beer!

We've purchased a lot of stuff at Big Kiang for our place in Cha Am. Unfortunately, we're in Korat now and won't get back to Cha Am until the end of October. We'd prefer a fridge without a freezer and with a maximum height of about 80cm as it will be placed under a window. I'll keep searching.

Would something like this from Lazada, be suitable?

I take it all back DB. We have checked into our 2nd hotel within a couple of weeks with a compact fridge with no freezer. Mrs BB is down at reception now getting the ice packs put into a freezer, and her insulin put into a proper fridge. The fridge in today's room has a notice on the front saying it will not cool below 12C, which is pretty useless for medical purposes.Big Boy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:46 pmNot the ones we stay in.

Caveat Emptor; all refrigerators are not created equal. A small refrigerator without a freezer compartment probably will not have a compressor, and therefore not of much use. They are also limited to working in ambient temperatures not above around 25 degrees C. Much better explained in the following:

On the bright side, reception took my wife's medical bits, and stored everything safely without any question. They even had lockable refrigerated storage to ensure it stayed safe. I guess my wife isn't the first diabetic they've encountered.
