Why this under counter fridge earns its place
The Smeg FAB5LOR5 (FS261) is a mini bar fridge from Smeg's 50s Retro range, finished in orange. Where most minibars are built to disappear, this one is a design piece meant to be seen, so it earns its place in a guest room, office, studio or front-of-house feature rather than hiding under a desk.
Inside, the 34 litre cabinet gives you two glass internal shelves, with the manufacturer also noting separate door storage for bottles and snacks and an internal LED light for visibility. Low-noise compressor refrigeration and automatic defrost make it a practical room fridge for drinks and small items, while static cooling and the listed +8 to -14 °C temperature range should be matched to the stock you intend to hold.
The footprint is compact but specific: 404mm wide, 569mm deep and 740mm high, with a 21.5kg gross weight. It uses a 220-240V supply, R600a refrigerant with GWP 3, and sits in energy class D with a stated 61 kWh/year consumption. The steel and plastic build is covered by a 2 year parts and labour warranty.
