Best Refrigerator Drawers (Reviews / Ratings / Prices)

Other Bar Refrigerators

You can buy a beverage center (refrigerator with wine storage) or simple refrigerator starting at $1,049. It is a swing door versus a pull out drawer, but it will be much less expensive.

Why You Should Consider the Drawers

Drawers are the most popular refrigerator because it provides ideal storage. 

The drawers pull out, so it leaves more room if you have a tight island. It is a great refrigerator for kids because it gives them easy access to their juices and yogurts. 

They will not be rummaging through your main refrigerator if you have a drawer. They also are integrated and blend seamlessly into your kitchen or bar.

Now, let's look at the best units.

True TUR-24D-SS-B - $3,400

Features:

• Stainless Steel Interior – This Feature will help maintain cold air making it more energy efficient and, at the same time, keep it more sanitary.
• True Precision Controls – Steel touch technology controls with a readout that provides digital accuracy.

• UL Rated for Outdoor Use – Able to be used in an outdoor application.
• LED Interior Lighting – Allows for better visibility when selecting an item.
• Sabbath Mode – Will comply with requirements for the Sabbath or other religious holidays.
• Panel Ready Model - TUR-24D-OP-B ($3,200.00)

True Refrigeration is more of a commercial brand than a residential brand. That being said, you will get a commercial quality build that is known to last, while still having a residential look to it aesthetically.

The stainless-steel interior will keep it more sanitary then a porous plastic interior would, and it also helps the fridge absorb the cold better.

This unit is UL approved to be placed outside due to its solid stainless construction.

Jenn-Air is the premier brand of the Whirlpool company. In the Jenn-Air refrigerator drawer unit, you will get dual temperature zones, meaning you will be able to have 2 different temperatures in each drawer, determined by the product being stored.

Another unique feature is the Max Cool option for chilling beverages faster.

 

Marvel ML24RDS3NS - $2,399

Marvel and their sister company U-Line are being transitioned as part of their new owners, Middleby. They were known for decent specialty refrigerators, but have fallen back a bit.

Conclusion

True is the most solid, but you are probably placing it inside your house. The all stainless construction does hold and absorb cold better keeping drinks at a lower temperature.

Jenn-Air does the same with its Max Cool options. That said, you should consider Sub-Zero because they have the best controls and temperature management.

The drawer is a luxury item and a bit expensive but does allow you good ancillary storage in your kitchen or bar.
