Why this under counter fridge earns its place
The Smeg FAB5LPG5 is a mini bar fridge from Smeg's 50s Retro line, finished in pastel green with the range's rounded, period-styled shell. It is a piece meant to be seen—sat in a guest room, behind a small bar, or on an office worktop rather than hidden in a back store—bringing a 34-litre chilled stock of drinks and snacks to the point they are used. Where a plain white box would fade out, the pastel green finish and retro silhouette make the fridge part of the room's visual character while it quietly does the work.
Day to day it keeps a small run of drinks and snacks cold close to where they are served on two glass shelves with door storage, so guests or staff help themselves without a trip to a larger fridge. It runs at +8 °C to −14 °C on static cooling with automatic defrost, and it is built to run in an occupied room (Climate Class N, ambient 16–32 °C) as an everyday appliance. The compact single cabinet at 740mm high and 404mm deep suits a spot that a full-size unit would overwhelm. At just 21.5 kg, one person can position it.
The pastel green finish is integral to the 50s Retro design rather than a wrap, so the colour runs across the whole cabinet. Its compact footprint drops into a guest room, under a counter or onto a worktop, and it plugs into a standard 220–240V socket. The cabinet draws 61 kWh per year, so use the energy decoder tool to calculate running cost on your tariff. Confirm the exact height, width and depth from the spec table against your space before it arrives, and leave 100mm clearance around the cabinet for air circulation.
