REVIEW – When I planned my DIY work for my new home, my own warm and inviting media entertainment area with a full-size bar was near the top of my list. Once I built the bar, I purchased a beverage fridge to occupy the space I designed for that purpose, but its performance left much to be desired. I decided that I would spend a bit more and buy a new one that was up to the task when along came this Ca’Lefrot 15 inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator that is the right size and from initial impressions, up to the task.
What is it?
The Ca’Lefrot 15 inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator can be installed as a built-in or left freestanding. It features a tempered glass door, adjustable shelves, a smart touch panel, and internal 3-LED lights.

Hardware specs
Design and features
- The spacious interior holds up to 100 12-oz cans and the adjustable shelves allow you to store large bottles
- Front-venting design for a built-in or freestanding model
- Stainless steel frame and 3-color LED lights for a modern look
- A long-life, quiet-running compressor is paired with a state-of-the-art fan to evenly distribute cool air and maintain a steady temperature(down to 34°F), ensuring that your drinks are always ready to enjoy.
- 4 durable shelves are adjustable to accommodate different bottles and cans.
- Digital touch screen with LED temperature display is easy to use.
- The auto-defrost feature on this beverage fridge keeps drinks from freezing over.
The Ca’Lefrot 15-inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator is well-built with a tempered glass door surrounded by a stainless steel frame and door handle. There is an internal fan for cooling and the compressor is on the bottom half of the rear of the fridge. The shelves are adjustable and removable and the smart touch panel on the top inside panel allows you to power on and off and set the temperature, and the lighting choice. There are adjustable feet on the bottom that allow for stable placement. The hardware is provided that allows you to mount the door to open from the left or the right.
Assembly
The Ca’Lefrot 15-inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator comes assembled with the exception of the handle. In order to install the handle, the rubber seal on the inside of the door has to be removed and replaced once the handle is attached via 2 screws.
Performance
As per the instructions, the Ca’Lefrot 15-inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator should be left standing upright for 24 to 36 hours before it is plugged in. This usually has to do with the refrigerant and its need to settle. Once plugged in, there is a touch panel on the top inside border that allows you to select the lighting out of the 3-LED options, or no light, and also to set the desired temperature.
Overall, this is a really nice, well-functioning beverage refrigerator that is also a nice accent piece for any room.
