6 Common Questions About Supermarket Beverage Refrigerators

There's a lot to consider when buying a beverage refrigerator. With so many excellent options, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Fortunately, this guide will answer some of the most common questions you might have when shopping for a supermarket beverage refrigerator.

Here are seven common questions buyers ask when preparing to purchase the right commercial beverage refrigerator for their needs.

 

What is a beverage refrigerator?

A beverage refrigerator allows you to store cold beverages away from your main refrigerator. These unique refrigerators, or beverage centers, maintain the optimal temperature for all beverages, including wine, beer, and more.

While sizes vary, most are portable and can be installed in many areas of the home. These coolers offer the flexibility of indoor or outdoor use, as well as adjustable settings, allowing you to keep certain types of products, such as beer or wine, at their optimal temperature.

 

What type of beverage refrigerator do I need?

With a wide variety of sizes and options, you're sure to find the model that best suits your needs. However, these appliances are typically freestanding or built-in.

Freestanding refrigerators can be placed indoors or outdoors, anywhere there's a suitable electrical outlet. Built-in beverage coolers require specialized installation but can be customized to fit a specific space for seamless integration.

You can find a wide variety of refrigerator options depending on their intended use, the types of beverages stored, and the number of bottles of each. At Moonpaint Refrigeration, we're happy to guide you through the shopping process.

What are the standard sizes of beverage coolers?

Beverage coolers come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Small refrigerators hold up to approximately 60 cans and are suitable for one to two people; medium refrigerators hold 80 to 100 cans. Large refrigerators can hold 150 cans or more.

 

Where can I place my beverage cooler?

A major advantage of beverage coolers is their flexibility in placement and capacity. Smaller than traditional refrigerators, these refrigerators are ideal for a variety of locations, including offices, game rooms, family rooms, home theaters, outdoor patios, and home bars.

 

How do I care for my beverage cooler?

Product maintenance depends on its design and built-in features, such as manual or automatic defrost. Manual defrost units require more attention because they must be emptied of all items and then unplugged to defrost.

Automatic defrost units periodically heat the internal coils to remove accumulated frost. These refrigerators only require a gentle wipe of the rear coils every six months to keep them dust-free.

 

What special features or safety options do they have?

Popular additional features for beverage refrigerators include digital temperature control, LED lighting, and reversible doors. As for safety options, nearly every supplier offers models with security locks.

Digital temperature control technology allows for precise temperature adjustment and readings. LED lighting is energy-efficient and cost-effective, typically using less electricity and lasting longer than traditional lighting.
