Why this under counter fridge earns its place
The Smeg 50s Retro Mini Bar Fridge FAB5RPG5 is a compact minibar-format fridge finished in pastel green with Smeg's signature 1950s curves. It is as much a design statement as a cold store, so it earns its place where the fridge is on show — a hotel room, a boutique reception, a design-led office or a front-of-house nook — and quietly holds a small stock of drinks and snacks close to hand. The pastel-green finish is meant to be seen, so it reads as part of the room rather than an appliance tucked away.
In use it is a single-door mini fridge sized for a modest bank of chilled stock rather than bulk storage. It runs from +8 to −14 °C with static cooling and holds 34 litres across 2 glass shelves — suitable for drinks and snacks kept within arm's reach rather than bulk provisions.
Being a compact freestanding unit at 740 × 404 × 569 mm (W×D×H) and weighing 21.5 kg, it fits neatly into compact guest-room or counter-side positions. Set it on a level surface with room around the back and sides for airflow, then plug into a standard 220–240V mains socket. For running cost, the appliance consumes 61 kWh/year at energy class D — use the energy label decoder tool to convert that into pounds per year on your own tariff.
