Doing some work in the kitchen. Would like to add a "built -in small fridge" for sodas and beer. Any info you can share would be great; brand, pro and cons, size, etc. Any info would be great.
Thank you,

Welcome. Though I can't recommend a brand or style, I have a small beverage fridge in our laundry room standing where a utility sink once stood. Have you considered two refrigerators side by side if space allows?

We have allotted for only one fridge. Looking for something that will last.

Thanks

Go with a brand of refrigerator that has proven reliable to you in the past. I'm pretty sure most brands carry smaller sizes or check out a wine fridge which often fits under countertops. Sorry I can't recommend a specific brand , but perhaps someone in the know will respond.

My mother kept a small refrig in one of her spare bedrooms just for that purpose. We put the old smaller refrig that came with this house out in the garage just for that purpose. My FIL kept their old refrig in the utility room of their basement, just for beverages. A friend has one in their informal dining area off the kitchen.

Whatever brand you decide, it doesn't have to go in the kitchen. It can go anywhere--office, craft room, basement, utility room, etc.

Good luck on brand.

P.S. We considered buying a new refrig for beverages, but when we ran the $ numbers, we'd never recoup the difference between running the old small refrig vs. the cost of new.
