NewAir 126 Can Beverage Refrigerator
Score: 76/100Rankings
BLACK+DECKER's 2.5 cu ft Energy Star-rated refrigerator delivers efficient cooling with a reversible door and adjustable thermostat. Manual defrost and a modest freezer limit long-term frozen storage. Perfect for dorm rooms, RVs, or small apartments where energy savings matter.
The NewAir AB-1200BC1 provides 126-can storage, a themed "Beers of the World" design, and can chill down to 32 °F. It does not include a lockable door or digital controls, and its noise level is slightly higher. Great for beer enthusiasts who prioritize style and low temperatures.
