Why this product earns its place
The Smeg 50s Retro Mini Bar Fridge FAB5LWH5 is a compact minibar-format fridge finished in white with Smeg's signature 1950s curves. At 740mm high by 404mm deep—roughly the footprint of a small office bin—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. Where a plain white box would look utilitarian, this retro silhouette reads as part of the room and quietly holds a 34-litre stock of drinks and snacks on its two internal shelves, with bottle and snack storage in the door compartments.
In use it runs at a chilled temperature band (+8 to −14 °C) with static cooling and automatic defrost, sized for a modest, high-turnover cold point rather than bulk storage. The two glass shelves, LED-lit interior and 34-litre capacity mean a hotel guest or office user can help themselves from a proper small fridge without needing to visit a back-of-house store. At 21.5 kg, it is light enough for one person to position, though access and ventilation space matter: the cabinet needs 100mm clear air around it to run correctly.
Being a compact freestanding unit, it plugs into a standard 220–240V socket and drops onto a floor, counter or shelf run with a single door opening to the left. Check the external dimensions against your space, confirm the delivery access route, and ensure the ambient temperature where you site it sits between 16 °C and 32 °C (Climate Class N). For energy, it draws 61 kWh per year—use the energy label decoder to calculate the cost on your own electricity tariff. Craven Cooling can arrange servicing and support once it is in place.
