    Ok so I need help picking out a good beer fridge from home depot. This black friday ace hardware has 20% coupon I their ad for 20% off anything and I would like to take it to home depot this year ( home depot accepts competitors coupons) and buy a beer fridge. Any sugestions on which one I should buy?

    Ok so I guess there isn't anything at home depot worth buying even with a 20% off coupon.

    Even with 20% I would think you could find a better beer fridge else where cheaper. Unless they happen to have a fridge that is without a freezer and has two different temp controls.

    I bought mine at Home Depot and it's good. Magic Chef 4.7L i think it is, it was $249 CDN retail here. It's not the cheapest way to do it (cheaper is to find an old fridge and buy a separate temp controller) but it's hassle-free and looks good. Plus they hold a lot of beer for their size, because they don't have as bulky of insulation as a fridge (less temp difference) and they're nice and deep. It was well worth the money IMO.

    I picked up this guy from Best Buy about 6 months ago: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/10-0-cu...=5041656&st=categoryid$abcat0901006&cp=1&lp=1

    This is a rough approximation of what it looks like at any given time: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ManiacalDingo/media/2013-08-20164522.jpg.html?sort=3&o=16

    You can pretty reasonably get the shelves set up to do 4 shelves of storage, but the top one only can do cans and shorter-format 12oz bottles. I have no regrets about the purchase. Just hook up an external temperature controller and you're good to go.
