How to Choose an Under Bench or Single Door Bar Fridge

A single door bar fridge is the most popular size for home bars, man caves, offices and granny flats, and an under bench bar fridge slides neatly beneath a benchtop without taking up floor space. This range covers glass door display fridges, skinny upright models, novelty and branded mini bars and solid stainless steel units.

Because there are so many single door fridges to pick from, start with where it will live and what you will keep in it.

Under bench fit and ventilation

If the fridge will sit under a bench or in a cabinet, check the height, width and depth against the space and choose a front-breathing model that vents heat through the kickplate. A rear-venting fridge needs clearance around it and can overheat when boxed in.

Glass door vs solid door

A glass door bar fridge doubles as a display and is the usual choice for bars and entertaining areas. Double glazed glass reduces condensation in humid weather, while a solid stainless door is more energy conscious and suits spots where you do not want the contents on show.

Skinny uprights and mini bars

Skinny upright models give you more storage in a smaller footprint, which suits narrow gaps beside a bench or in a games room. Novelty and branded mini bars are a fun fit for a man cave or rumpus room where style matters as much as capacity.

Noise and climate rating

For a bedroom, cinema room or open-plan living area, look for a quiet unit; compressor and fan noise varies between models. If the fridge will sit in a garage, verandah or hot room, choose a tropical rated model so it keeps cooling in summer.

Frequently asked questions

What size under bench bar fridge do I need?

Measure the opening first, then choose the largest capacity that fits with the ventilation space the manufacturer specifies. Smaller 50 to 70 litre units suit a couple of drinks shelves, while larger single door fridges hold bottles and cartons.

Can a bar fridge be built into cabinetry?

Only if it is designed for it. Look for a front-breathing under bench bar fridge that vents through the kickplate; rear-venting models need open space around them.

Why does my glass door bar fridge sweat?

Condensation forms when warm humid air meets a cold glass surface. Double glazed or low-E glass doors reduce it, and keeping the door closed and the fridge out of direct humidity helps too.
