24 Inch Weather Proof Outdoor Three-Drawer Beverage Fridge

This is a review of the Velieta Brand 3.2 cubic foot mini fridge, model TAYL86. This black, shiny model with the glass front looks sharp and modern. It fits nicely into just about any room without standing out in a bad way. My unit was shipped via FedEx and although the outer cardboard box had rips and tears, the inner contents, surrounded by foam, survived with zero defects. The blue LED temperature display on the front is quite bright—easy to read from across the room. Note that this is the 7-segment temp readout, not the interior light. One nice touch is that the controls are located on the OUTSIDE top of the door, so you can adjust the temperature without opening the fridge. Temperature Performance The digital display on the door does not always agree with the internal temperature, so I strongly recommend using a separate thermometer inside to dial it in properly. There is a circulation fan in the middle section, but temperatures still vary by location. The bottom stays warmest, likely because of the compressor compartment beside it. I tested the lowest setting for a couple of days and saw the center shelf (near the fan) drop to 33°F before settling around 34°F. For my medicine storage needs, I adjusted the thermostat to hold the fridge between 36°F and 46°F. All the readings below reflect that target range: • Middle shelf by the fan: 36.3°F to 37.0°F (not counting the brief defrost spike) • Bottom floor: 47.3°F to 48.3°F, average 47.7°F • Top shelf: 42.6°F to 44.8°F, average 43.4°F Within each zone the temperature stays very steady—usually swinging only a degree or two within a 90-minute cycle. That is good regulation for an inexpensive fridge. Please see the attached graphs. Defrost Cycle This model has an automatic defrost that runs every 13 hours. It lasts about an hour and causes a short temperature and humidity bump. Water evaporates from behind with no external moisture or mess. Average relative humidity stays around 60%. Other Details The condenser coils are hidden in the sides, so you can slide the unit right up against a back wall. The outer walls get warm but never hot, good for under-counter use as long as you leave a little room for airflow. Noise level measured 43 dBA at one meter from the door center. All I heard was the relaxing sound of the fan. It is quiet, perfect even for a bedroom corner. Current draw at 120 volts was 0.8 A with the compressor running and a bit of a power factor. The compressor starting current spiked to 7.6 A briefly. This means that, while it uses relatively little electricity, you need to plug it straight into the wall socket or use a short, heavy-gauge extension cord to handle that startup bump safely. Final Thoughts I am pleased with this fridge overall. My only real wish is that the air circulated a little better for more even temperature distribution. This is probably the norm for something as small as 3.2 cubic feet. The dazzling display could be a minor annoyance if you are sensitive to light at night, but it is not a deal-breaker. It appears that it would struggle freezing the contents, so as long as it never turns my medicine vials into Popsicles, I can recommend it for insulin and other temperature-sensitive medicines. With a 2-degree swing, it should also work well for wine storage.

This wine and beverage refrigerator exceeded my expectations. It arrived earlier than expected and generously cushioned and packaged to ensure protection during shipping. It is exactly as pictured, well made and attractive with its sleek all white cabinet. I searched for all white free standing wine refrigerator and struggled to find . The ones I did find in white had black or stainless sides. The shelves in this unit are customizable and I love the look of the wood shelves. They pull out smoothly. The dual temperature zones are great for storing variety of beverages in addition to wine. I can not emphasize enough the excellent customer service. I received prompt answers to my many questions before ordering as well as after I purchased. I am happy to say I have exactly what I wanted in its attractiveness and quality. It’s a much needed and nice addition to my Coastal home.

Purchased this indoor/ outdoor under countertop refrigerator for our covered outdoor kitchen build. We wanted a stylish dual zone unit that could handle near ice cold drinks and a separate zone for wine. This unit was just what we wanted. Installation and set up was super easy with the attached 3 prong outlet on a dedicated GFCI circuit for our outdoor island. The appearance of the unit and build quality seems very good, with the facing in trimmed stainless and glass front doors. The dual zones have independent temperature controls making it easy to store wine and drinks on either side. I had a few questions for the technical support team and they were very responsive in a timely manner.

Bought this beverage cooler for an under counter install in an out door entertainment center. I liked the great look of the stainless-steel finish which complemented the adjacent stainless steel-appliances. The cooler delivers in keeping all the beverages, both canned and bottles, at peak temperature. With 3 adjustable shelves, and a great storage capacity, it's easy to store whatever combination of colas, beer, etc. that you have. Especially like the LED touch control bar in the unit; makes it easy to raise or lower inside temps as needed, based on the product being refrigerated. The interior's blue light control makes it easy to find the beverage you want without turning on ambient lighting. Since the cooler is in an outdoor entertainment center, we were initially concerned about noise level. Not a concern anymore. Cooling fan is whisper quiet and does not interfere with conversations. All and all, very happy with this purchase. Tags all the bases for me; good appearance, large capacity, versatility in beverage sizes, great temperature control and low noise. To add to my satisfaction of buying this cooler, I recently had to contact Customer Service to replace a circuit board damaged by a small reptile which had found its way into the rear of the unit. Their responsiveness has been exceptional. I would definitely buy again.

We couldn’t be happier with our Velieta wine and beverage fridge! It fit into our space like it was custom made, and the sleek, modern design gives our home a high-end look. The dual-zone layout is perfect for keeping both beverages and wine at the ideal temperature, and the unit is quiet and easy to use. Everything arrived well-packaged, and the overall quality and craftsmanship really stand out. It looks fantastic in our home and has exceeded our expectations. We’re looking forward to enjoying it for many years to come. Highly recommend!

Outstanding lil fridge! Plugged in 30 minutes ago and it’s almost cooled to desired temp. Looks nice and runs quiet would recommend highly

Wine fridge is smart looking and seems to work really well. Delivery was a pain as there was no option for unpacking etc. The fridge was brought in tightly packed and on a wooden pallet which was broken on one side. The fridge was tilting badly because of the broken pallet but still worked once plugged in. My husband and I (75 and 78 yrs old) had to unpack the fridge and get it off the pallet to get it in place. We paid for ‘in room delivery’ but they had to leave it in the hall just inside the front door because we had to unpack it before we placed it. It was a pain to unpack but all is working ok now.

This is the fridge you want if you want something compact but holds a lot of cans. It's the perfect size, gets cold super fast, and holds temp perfectly. Temperature gauge inside and temperature can be adjusted as needed. Highly recommend!

J’adore mon mini frigo et son éclairage bleu . Il fonctionne très bien jusqu’à maintenant. J’aime également le fait que nous puisions le verrouiller pour garder le contrôle sur les ados comme les miens 🙈🙊 qui le Videraient en un une journée…lorsque je suis parti au travail. Mon plus vieux gère les plus jeunes 😉

We Love our wine and beverage cooler by Velieta. The dual zone fridge has been amazing and serves us well. The aftermarket service has been second to none and we couldn’t be more pleased. Their quick and immediate response to our concerns has run beautifully. Shout out to Lily our customer service representative!
