Out of all the under-counter refrigerators on the market, beverage centers are number one. Built-in refrigerators are designed to fit under your existing counter. This option can also be installed in your island as long as it is not taller than your island itself. Remember to utilize the space by purchasing compact appliances.

Here we are focusing on 2 types of built-ins, beverage coolers and wine coolers. Beverage coolers store more than just wine like soda, water, and beer. Many of these models even feature dual-zone cooling. This feature in a wine cooler is essential in keeping your reds at a warmer temperature and whites at their recommended cooler temperature.

Another feature to consider is a thermoelectric cooler. This unit has a cooling node with a ceramic piece that passes an electric current. They usually have fans to distribute the cool air evenly. These are energy efficient, have a longer life span than a compressor based refrigerator, and require less maintenance.
