Best mini fridge for beer

novajoe · 13 Jun 2009 at 12:16

Hi,

I'm after a mini fridge mainly for beer (will be in a bedroom) and looking for some advice on any good ones. The only fridge I've found so far which looks suitable is one of those Husky 50L jobs which I've managed to find on a website for £90. The only downside it seems is a review saying it might be a bit noisey for a room where you sleep in.

If anyone any experiene on the matter I'd be grateful

wouldn't want to go over £100.

Thanks,
Joe

If it only has beer in you could switch it off in the evening if need be.

Mini fridge and beer, you drink like a puff, get a big bugger!

All of the ones Ive seen have an annoying hum

Tis for the overflow

But it's a good point about just turning it off at night, think I'll go for a Guinness branded Husky, looks pretty nice too.

Don't get fridges confused with coolers.

The coolers (which often claim to be 'fridges') just use a fan, hence the hum. With a proper mini-fridge the noise shouldn't be an issue.

Im prety sure my brother has one of the guiness fridge ones, and he says its too annoying to sleep with it on

All the branded mini beer fridges will be loud. Either get a normal fridge. or a 5litre keg cooler. Or expect to pay a lot more for a proper front glass quite fridge.

Don't all fridges have a compressor? Which will be a lot louder than than a fan. :confused:

Husky one? I don't mind a bit of noise, I can't find any alternatives really either, apart from Coolzone fridges but they don't seem to be any better.

It's awesome, must hold 50-odd beers, chills properly, and is top-loading

I've got a "proper" mini fridge and it is just a bit too loud for me to have t on when I'm sleeping.

Don't perform any rapid vertical movements on it or it may explode in your face.

I've got one of the mini-cooler (6 regular cans capacity) fridges and the manual (when I read it many moons ago) said that it should NOT be left switched on 24/7.
