Having an outdoor refrigerator on the patio is a game-changer. Whether for everyday family use or for entertaining guests, incorporating a refrigerator in your outdoor kitchen offers loads of convenience and enjoyment.

An outdoor refrigerator with a see-through glass door, however, provides practicality plus a whole lot of panache.

Case in point: the REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator from Renaissance Cooking Systems. The refrigerator’s glass-paneled door lends a cool, luxury, design aesthetic to any outdoor space, and looks like a high-end fridge you might find in a sophisticated indoor kitchen.

But a pretty face can only get you so far. Good thing this fridge has lots of sensible attributes that make it a smart solution for any outdoor living space.

Added Visibility

For one, the glass-paneled door allows you to see at a glance what’s inside. It makes it easy for guests to find drinks and serve themselves. And hosts can quickly take inventory of which items need restocking – no more realizing you’ve run out of ketchup just as the burgers come off the grill.

With beverages on display, people can check out their options without opening the door and letting the cold air escape. Deciding between a can of seltzer or a bottle of lemonade before opening the fridge, saves energy and keeps food and drinks at consistent, safe temperatures.

Professional Pedigree

The REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator doesn’t just look high-end. It is designed and manufactured with premium features like durable stainless steel construction, precise digital temperature controls, and interior LED lights.

The roomy, 5-cubic-foot refrigerator has been engineered specifically for outdoor use. It has extra insulation and weatherproofing to protect internal systems and controls, even in harsh outdoor environments. In fact, the REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator has earned a UL Outdoor Certification rating by Underwriters Laboratory, a leading, independent, product-testing organization.

This noteworthy designation ensures the refrigerator will function well under extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations; something an under counter or dorm-style indoor refrigerator could not do. A five-year warranty adds to the confidence that this fridge is built to last and will perform well for many seasons of outdoor fun.

Another important factor: the REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator vents through the front. This is a key consideration if you’re building the refrigerator into an outdoor kitchen island. Most outdoor islands do not have the proper ventilation clearance for an indoor refrigerator that typically vents through the rear. In other words, you can’t substitute an indoor refrigerator and expect it to work outdoors.

Three height-adjustable wire shelves make this refrigerator especially user-friendly. The shelves can be repositioned as desired to accommodate cans, bottles, food containers, and serving bowls in a variety of sizes. A full-length, vertical door handle is a well-thought-out design feature that looks sleek while keeping fingerprint smudges off the glass. The door can be locked shut to keep the contents secure and comes with two keys. And, leveling legs can help make up for uneven patio surfaces.

What’s Better Than a Glass-Front Outdoor Fridge? Two Glass-Front Outdoor Fridges (or More)!

Having multiple outdoor refrigerators is a practical approach to storing food and beverages at their optimal temperatures in an alfresco kitchen. Ideal storage temperatures for soft drinks, beer, and wine range between 40 and 55 degrees, but safe storage temperatures for food are much lower – between 35 and 38 degrees. Since the internal temperature of the REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator can be set precisely anywhere between 32 and 72 degrees, it’s a good idea, if space and budget allow, to designate one for beverages and one for food.

That way, you could situate the food refrigerator in the grilling zone to store meats, side dishes, veggies, and condiments. A second fridge could be built into a beverage station to hold drinks, mixers and garnishes. Have a pool? It would be really handy to install yet another fridge poolside.

Whether you include one or many, with a REFR2B Glass Front Outdoor Refrigerator, your outdoor kitchen will definitely look cool while keeping things cool.
