But just like any other home appliance, there’s a lot to consider when buying a beverage cooler. We’re going to make your decision easier by sharing the top models on the market. Here are some things to keep in mind when comparing them:

• Temperature Range: The temperature range is the most important thing to consider, especially if you plan to store wine or other temperature-sensitive drinks. Check to make sure that the cooler you’re considering offers the right temperature range for your drinks. The temperature range can be found in the product’s description.
• Capacity: How much internal space does the cooler offer? The cooler’s internal space is listed in cubic feet, but you’ll find many manufacturers also indicating how many cans or bottles it can hold. Knowing the actual size (cubic feet) is helpful, but pay closer attention to how many cans and/or bottles it can hold. This will help you find a unit that can hold just the right number of beverages.
• Size: The actual size (dimensions) of the cooler is important, too. Even if the internal space is smaller than average, the overall size of the cooler may be larger than you expected. Check the product description to find the height, length, and width of the unit.

Buyer’s Guide – How to Choose the Right Stainless Steel Beverage Fridge for You

Stainless steel beverage coolers are sleek and modern in design, but aesthetics isn’t important when it comes to refrigeration. A great-looking fridge may leak or stop working just months after buying it.

When buying a mini beverage cooler, there are several things you need to consider aside from looks. We talked about some of those things earlier. Here are some other points to keep in mind:

• Temperature Control: What type of temperature control is offered? Most models have mechanical thermostats, but others, like the Electrolux model, have unique controls. Determine which type of control you prefer.
• Locks: Most modern coolers have some sort of locking mechanism to keep your beverages secure from kids and uninvited guests. If you plan to store alcoholic beverages in your cooler and you have kids, a lock is a must-have feature.
• Lighting: Mini beverage coolers have built-in LED lights just like the refrigerator in your kitchen. These lights should only come on when you open the door, and they should be bright enough to illuminate the entire interior. Lighting is a must-have feature – unless you don’t mind reaching for a drink in the dark.
• Shelving: How many shelves does the cooler have? Are they removable or extendable? It isn’t necessarily better to have more shelves, especially if you plan to store larger cans or bottles. Decide how many shelves you realistically need.
• Price: Don’t forget to consider the cost of the cooler. Prices can vary greatly from one unit to the next, depending on the size, brand and features offered. Set a realistic budget, and find a quality model that you can afford.
