I’m sure you’ve often wished you had a small fridge just for your various beverages including soda, wine and beer? Perhaps it’s time to replace the old, under the bar, fridge? The unbranded Walmart fridge from on-line sales at Walmart, model BR-110-WM, and also sold under other brand names, may be the possible answer.
This fridge has many features that competitive models lack. Probably the most outstanding one is its Auto-Defrost capability. Yes, no more having to deal with turning off a fridge and waiting hours to be able to remove the large panels of ice that form on the rear of non-frost free models. Not only is this a mess to deal with, but also a time waster. Temperature selections between 34°F to 50°F are adjustable and if a power failure takes place your preset temperature will return to its original setting, a very handy benefit. (120V/240W)
The brown fridge has a silver stainless steel frame, is 3.2 cubic feet, free standing, has a reversable hinge see-thru door, can hold up to 126 cans of your favorites and is whisper quiet. It includes a switchable soft LED blue light. Always turn the light off when not needed. Dimensions are: 17.5(D) x 18.9(W) x 31.5(H) inches and adjustable feet are included.
As is the case with all newly delivered fridges, leave the cooler at least 24 hours in an upright position before plugging it into AC and using it. This is important as you never know if in shipping the unit was kept upright. Failure to adhere to this could pose potential future operating issues. Also, foods of any type are not to be stored in this type of fridge as it’s designed to keep beverages cool, not food! Estimated yearly energy cost is about $40.00. Walmart offers both a 3 and 4 year extended warranty. The warranty simply covers a total replacement in place of repairs, or service calls, a nice hassle free optional benefit.
