Beverage Cooler vs. Mini Fridge

PalmettoPath said:

To be honest I don't get the difference between a beverage cooler and a mini fridge. I call whatever they have a mini fridge. But we're long time DVC members, three home resorts, usually stay in studios and have never had an issue with milk, cream, fruit, veggies, cheese and everything else we keep in there (including at the Polynesian villas). Adjust the coldness if it's not cold enough...?

I turned/adjusted the coldness to as cold as possible and no luck. I did that as soon as we loaded the fridge as I could tell it wasn't very cold.

The main difference between a beverage cooler and fridge is the temperature control settings and ability to consistently hold temperature. To keep bacteria away and keep the items fresh, refrigerators usually operate at a temperature below 39 degrees F while most beverage coolers are 40 degrees and up. They can look pretty similar so it isn't necessarily apparent upon glance. We haven't had a problem when staying at BCV but with this stay at the Poly for 8 days we ended up losing some of our groceries (milk/yogurt) due to not cold enough temp.

I just did a bit more googling and found this direct on Disney's website: (

When summer comes around and the temperatures outside soar, there&#;s nothing more refreshing than a perfectly-chilled beverage. Whether you fancy a glass of rosé, a can of beer or a cup of freshly squeezed fruit juice, getting the temperature right is all-important: a lukewarm drink doesn&#;t exactly hit the spot, does it?

The obvious solution would be to put all of your drinks in the fridge, but this isn&#;t always possible. If your fridge is stacked with ingredients and leftovers, you&#;ll need somewhere else to store your drinks &#; something like a beverage cooler or a mini fridge.

These two terms are often used interchangeably, so is there any real difference between these two types of appliance? We&#;re going to answer that question once and for all in this blog, covering everything you need to know about both mini fridges and beverage coolers. Not only that, but we&#;ll offer a selection of top tips to help you find the right fridge or cooler for you. 

Is a beverage cooler the same as a mini fridge?

So, the big question: are beverage coolers and mini fridges the same? In a word, no. There are a number of significant differences between the two appliances, both in terms of their design and construction and the way they look. To help you understand which appliance is right for you, we&#;ve outlined the key differences below&#;

• Temperature:

  Perhaps the biggest difference between these two types of appliance is their internal temperature. A mini fridge is exactly that, a more compact version of a regular freestanding or

  built-in refrigerator

  . That means it&#;s designed primarily to store food &#; and that means it needs to maintain a lower temperature internally than a drinks cooler does. Mini fridges tend to maintain an internal temperature of no more than 4°C, while drinks coolers often operate at temperatures of up to 18°C. This is a deliberate design decision, as some beverages (like wine) are best stored at a slightly higher temperature.

• Size:

  Generally speaking, mini fridges are smaller than beverage coolers. Some beverage coolers offer more than 110 litres of storage space, while most mini fridges tend to top out at around 65 litres.

• Internal Design:

  Because mini fridges are designed primarily to house food, their internal design is much closer to that of a

  regular fridge

  , featuring a mixture of compartments and shelves. Beverage coolers are built purely to house drinks, so you won&#;t find any compartments inside them &#; just shelves that are sized perfectly to accommodate bottles of wine or drinks cans.

Exterior Design: Mini fridges and beverage coolers are every bit as different on the outside as they are on the inside. Most mini fridges look just like you&#;d expect &#; scaled-down versions of regular refrigerators. Beverage coolers, on the other hand, tend to feature more stylish, design-led elements like glass doors and elegant internal lights, showcasing your drinks beautifully.
