Review on 🍺 NewAir AB-1200B - Black Mini Bar Beverage Refrigerator with Glass Door - 126 Can Capacity - Cooling to 34F by Richard Counts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but is noisy

Good sized fridge at a reasonable price. I did a lot of research before buying. It seems like most of these drink coolers are crap. Some more than others. I read reviews about bad delivery, noise, gurgling noises and hesitated. Delivery was quick. The box had arrows pointing up, but the driver didn't care, it stayed on its side. I went in, unpacked and examined. Everything was in good condition and very well packaged. I'm not sure how damage could have happened if other reviewers had the same packaging as mine. I moved to the installation site and waited 3 days for the freon to calm down, manual call for 2 hours or a day (different specifications in different places). was built according to instructions. It wasn't cool. I put 70-80 cans and let it sit for a day to normalize. Lots of gurgling noises despite the device being perfectly level in all directions. It's not very cold yet. Moved to"6" waited a day. Better but not cold. Moved to "7" maximum. Banks are probably 42-45F. Compressor noise is minimal. Noticeable gurgling as it cools, which is often quiet. The unit is located in the basement bar so the ambient temperature is 68-75F. LED light is basically useless. It would be nice if the door switch and the light bar were on the sides instead of just on top. I waited the entire return period to make sure I wanted to keep this item. In the end I decided to go. It's probably better than others in the moderate price range.

Pros
  • Spacious design holds up to 126 standard cans
Cons
  • I will add later
