The Kalamera KRC-90BV is a compact 15-inch under-counter beverage cooler with blue LED lighting, six adjustable shelves, and a lockable UV-tinted glass door.

The hOmeLabs beverage refrigerator offers a compact 3.2 cu ft (≈42 L) capacity with LED lighting, adjustable shelves, and auto-defrost. It trades off security features and certifications for a lower price and smaller footprint. Ideal for home bars, dorms, or small office break rooms.
