Customer Reviews for Kalamera 24 in. Built-in Single Zone Beverage Refrigerator with 170 Can 12 oz. Beverage

I purchased this unit 1 year ago and while it cools and holds a consistant temp, my unit does not reach the temp set on the thermostat. If the thermostat is set at 40, it cools to 44. If if move it down to 38 (the lowest it will go) I get to 42. Normally I'd like to keep my beer at 38/40 degrees and for unit at this price point do not find that unreasonable. I registered my unit and submitted an email to for warranty, no other method was provided. But I was informed this was normal operation

I absolutely love it now i have tons of storage on my big fridge

The Kalamera 24in Built-in Single Zone Beverage Refrigerator is a nice, stylish, beverage refrigerator for kitchen, bar, or garage. Measuring in at 23" wide by 33" high by 22" deep, it's a great size to keep under a countertop or on top of it. It boasts a capacity for 170 12 oz cans, though if fully loaded I'm not sure air flow would be optimal. This refrigerator is a very stylish black with chrome silver accents. The entire body is black and the door and air vent are chrome. The door also has a full-length clear glass window to see inside. Setup was a breeze. Place the refrigerator where you want it and let it sit for 24 hours. This lets the coolant settle from shipping and moving so your unit doesn't blow. After the first 24 hours, plug the refrigerator in and set your desired temperature. With it empty, close the door and let the refrigerator sit for another 24 hours to calibrate and bring the inside to temperature. After that, you're all set and ready to load up with tasty beverages. The refrigerator hold temperature very well while loaded. My only negative is to make sure your door is completely closed before walking away. I've had a few times where i've pushed the door closed and walked away, just to come back later to find that the door bounced back open slightly. Another feature is the blue LED light. If fully loaded, the light will only light up the top shelf and maybe the second shelf, but if you allow for some space between cans, the light will illuminate most of the inside. Not a necessary feature, but a nice little addition. Perhaps my favorite feature is the fact that the shelving slides out part way to allow for easy loading. Most shelves have the cans laying down flat, and being able to pull the shelf part way out lets you load easily, as well as pull out to get to the cans at the back.

Kalamera 24 in. Built-in Single Zone Beverage Refrigerator with 170 Can 12 oz. Beverage capacity. The black exterior refrigerator has six wire removable racks blue LED lighting adjustable legs. The stainless-steel trim clear glass door is reversible and opens left or right with simple easy to follow instructions. Mine came with eh handle on the left. The box contains the brackets and within five minutes you can change the door, so the handle is on the right as the photos show. You will have to remove the logo and reset on the glass if you wish. A hair dryer works great for removing or loosening the adhesive. Since the refrigerator has digital thermostat it has a memory lost function if there is a power outage it will restore the previous set temperature when the power comes back on. Great is using for a wine collection. The bottom wire rack is removable as the photos show for storing bottles in the bottom. The bottom of the refrigerator is molded to hold bottles in position without rolling. Temperatures range settings is from 38 to 50 degrees. With the refrigerator setting at 38 Degrees and over 70 hours later a handheld digital thermometer I was only able to register the lowest temperature at 46 degrees after the refrigerator was unopened for over 28 hours. Remember is you get one of these refrigerators, before plugging in you should let the unit stand upright for 24 hours prior to starting to make sure the oils and freon are in the compressor. The instructions suggest that you leave the refrigerator empty for the next 24 hours and load with your beverages after that. If you are putting in a cabinet or under counter, please make sure there is adequate ventilation space around the top and sides. This will help dissipate the heat form the compressor, which is a major reason why these undercounter models have a shortened life. The Kalamera beverage refrigerator has a Black interior, and a switch that controls a blue LED light. Extended warranties should strongly be considered when purchasing a under cabinet refrigerators to protect your investment.

Very nice and convenient fridge to have. Shelves are easy to maneuver and good lighting. Only wish the temperature was able to go lower than the setting. I like my beverages really cold

Decent fridge, have not checked it with thermometer, but keeps cold enough for beer and soda. My problem is, it buzzes when running. It’s something structural, pressing/pulling the sides can lessen or quiet it, but I cannot determine the exact location of this noise or find any position or adjustment that keeps it from happening. It’s too bad because it is otherwise a decent appliance, and not the lowest end on price, but the annoying buzzing is pretty much a deal breaker. Do NOT recommend.

This is literally the only beverage refrigerator that would fit in our cabinet space. It was a very tight squeeze but with the venting out the front it works perfectly. We plugged it in through the floor into the basement (previous set up) and it has worked flawlessly ever since. It is quiet, easy to load, nice handle that matches our new KitchenAid appliance handles. In spite of some negative reviews, we would recommend this unit. Yes, we bought the warranty, just in case.

Set at 38 (lowest temp), but never goes below 42. I have a 2 different thermometers and checked top, middle, and bottom. Decided to do it after sending that the beverages seemed to not be very cold.

Nice looking and sturdy but does not get cold at all. The temp shows 37, most beverages are around 47 if you use a thermometer. Very disappointing when you want a cold beer it’s like being in England.

Worked fine until recently. Purchased late 2019, first one missing parts, sent new one 2 months later. This one leaks. Paid just under $500, now almost $700. Would not replace with same unit or brand. Needs a much better warranty.

Looked nice. Thought and hoped it would be a good mini fridge for years. Paid a premium I thought, to get a quality unit. Unfortunately, that turned out not to be the case. Temperature began rising after about 18 months. I contacted the service desk, who was reasonably pleasant to deal with, however, after a somewhat lengthy exchange of data, information, photos, and videos,……they pronounced their product as unrepairable, and they were unable to help further. Upon appeal, they offered a 10% discount, which was same as Home Depot price. Buy a warranty if you purchase this product

We love it! I saw other reviews regarding an odor, so I propped it open for a few days to air out and also let the coolant settle back down. I wiped it down a little with a Lysol wipe before filling with cans. No odor "problem," it just smells like a new appliance. No complaints here!

I just recently had this refrigerator installed about a week ago. So far it’s been a great asset to my kitchen. My one concern is the instruction booklet isn’t very clear on adjusting the temperature. I was able to make some adjustment but I was just feeling my way around. I’m hoping that this refrigerator will keep all my beverages cold and continue to work well for a number of years!

It does not get anywhere near the level of cold it states on the display. Even at the coldest setting, it wasn’t cutting it for me. The door also doesn’t stay shut very well.

Within 2 days of installing this built-in beverage cooler, the unit stopped cooling. I have reached out to Kalamera both via email and call center. They have been slow in responding and repeatedly asked me to troubleshoot the root cause of the problem. Identifying the root cause of the problem is fine for a Service Technician but I am not qualified, nor do I want to, replace a compressor or other component within the cooler. I paid a premium for this unit, had it professionally installed with the expectation it would function properly and it has not. My husband and I will be removing it this weekend and returning it to Home Depot.

Instructions on setup were good. I did get nervous when pulling back the inner door liner to feed the handle screws in, as I wasn’t sure the liner would pop back in place; but it did with no problem. Temperature is true; as cool or cold as you need your beverage to be. The light only illuminates the top front, but it’s enough to get an idea of inventory without opening the door.

Had continual condensation on glass front. We were wiping water off the floor four times a day. We got frustrated with it and returned it.

Great purchase from local Home Depot

Died 14months after purchase. After brief troubleshooting with Kalamera, they determined that it was the main control board. Since this was 2 months outside of the 1yr warranty, Kalamera wouldn't replace the part and the $100 main control board is also an item in which they don't offer returns for. It would've cost me an additional $100 just to continue to troubleshoot. If you have to buy this product, automatically just add an additional $75 to the end price for warranty.

I bought this product for a home renovation and used it for less than a year before it completely failed. It didn't just stop working, but it leaked water everywhere. Such a nightmare. And unfortunately it wasn't installed immediately so the warranty is out. How can products this expensive not even last a year? And now the problem is that I have the matching wine refrigerator but don't want to put another penny into this product/brand.

Keeps everything nice and cold, lots of space and very quiet. Would buy again.

It’s much better than I thought it would be. Keeps a lot of beverages cold with a blue easy to read digital temperature adjustment.

This was a great solution for all our drinks and free up room in my frig.

It is a great fridge doing a great job. Love the look and blue light at night

My only wish is that its temp went lower than 38. Otherwise, we love it!
