Why this under counter fridge earns its place
The Smeg FAB5LRD5 is a mini bar fridge from Smeg's 50s Retro line, finished in red. It pairs a 34-litre chilled cabinet with Smeg's rounded retro styling, so it works as both a working fridge and a visible design piece rather than a unit you hide out of sight. That makes it a fit for guest rooms, offices and any spot where the fridge is on show—the red finish makes the cabinet part of the interior rather than an afterthought.
Day to day it is a compact single-door minibar for holding drinks and small chilled items within easy reach on two internal glass shelves plus door storage. It maintains a cold temperature band from +8 °C to −14 °C using static cooling with automatic defrost, so it suits a modest drinks stock that turns over regularly. The 34-litre capacity, energy draw (61 kWh per year), and all operating details are set out in the spec table, so you can check the cabinet against what you intend to keep before ordering.
Being a countertop-scale minibar at 740mm high and 404mm deep, it drops into a guest room, office corner or back-bar position without needing a dedicated appliance run. At 21.5 kg it is light enough for one person to position and move. Confirm the standing position and clearances (allow 100mm around the cabinet for air circulation) before delivery. Full dimensions, refrigerant type (R600a, low-impact), energy rating, warranty terms and electrical supply (220–240V) are all listed in the spec table above.
