More than just a beer fridge - flexible mini-fridge with good usable volume

Shipping and delivery

The refrigerator is delivered in a safe transport packaging and arrived undamaged at me. It is supplied with partition grille and a detailed German manual. Before connecting you should - as usual at compressor equipment - let the refrigerator for 24 hours without moving at the installation site so that the coolant can sag and the compressor does not start to stutter.

Design and interior

The refrigerator is completely in black with a silver top and bottom trim. The door hinge is on the right and the discs are double glazed. The refrigerator is supplied with a sorting grid slots for special bottles are not there. The grid is about half as deep as the refrigerator and can be used over 3 racks at different heights.

The refrigerator has no interior lighting, which I personally find a shame as an interior LED would not only be useful but would also certainly looked good in the Send device. Yet one finds in normal lighted rooms again all very good.

On the top of the door is practical grip recesses, which open the simple and close the refrigerator allow.
The thermostat is located on the back. There is a rotary switch, which can be infinitely adjusted from level 1-5. The following settings are recommended (approximate):

Level 1 (lowest) to be chosen at about 16 ° ambient temperature
Level 3 (middle level) should be chosen at about 25 ° ambient temperature
Level 5 (highest level) can at very high ambient temperatures or for rapid cooling down of drinks and foods are used.

Interior use and application

This refrigerator is suitable for very many applications: in caravans, hobby room, home as an additional refrigerator, in the hotel or in the single room apartment. With its compact dimensions can be found quickly a place and the refrigerator can be set up and unpack without further assembly immediately after.

For interior use I once tried so few:

In the standard layout to fit into the lower area 5 x 3 beer cans 0,5Liter, ie 15 doses. The door can then close easily, the door seal is located on the outside. In the upper part then adjust again eg 5x5 Standard 0.33 liters Cola cans (25 cans). At the doses but will still be a lot of space, so you can put something on top of it.

Wine bottles you put the best in the upper area. Depending on the scope of the bottles are here about 10 - 13 bottles in it. The wine bottles are very safe, because the weight is supported not only by the grid, but from a solid plastic body, so you have nothing to worry about when stacking that everything sags.

Large 1.5 liter discounter water and coke bottles fit exactly 4 pieces lying next to each other in the upper part. However, they can also stand without problems, if you set the partition grille on the top rail. The remaining space in the refrigerator can still be very good use.

Environmental and Emissions

The refrigerator has the energy class B and is indicated with an annual consumption of 175 kWh / year consumption standard. This is a typical value of this class refrigerator with compressor technology and glass door. If accepted cost of 0.29 Euro / kWh to the operation of the refrigerator will cost about 4.23 euros a month. Those who do not particularly noise sensitive, should rather take absorber technology for compressor technology in refrigerators as the (silent), since the latter has a higher power consumption.

The volume is given as 42dB (A). Subjectively, the compressor of the refrigerator for my taste runs relatively quiet. The compressor noise is rather cautious and to designate the remaining noise (cluck, occasional hiss) than quietly. Those who are not particularly sensitive is no problems have to sleep with the device in a room.

The Handyapp "sound ranging", which is calibrated to the microphone of the respective used cell phones, is 41db (A) and confirmed the technical specification and the subjective perception.

Conclusion

All in all I'm very pleased with the refrigerator. You can use the volume very well, especially me has liked that standard discounter plastic bottles lying perfectly fit together.

An interior LED would have been nice, but you can see, thanks to the glass door that let a lot of light, so also all very good. Who installs these refrigerator, also have to note that the thermostat is not in the unit but on the back.

The price / performance ratio as well as the quality of workmanship. Therefore, I also 5 star for this refrigerator.
