Video Transcript for Review of Vitrifrigo RV Refrigerators - Stainless Steel RV Mini Refrigerator - VT54FR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Vitrifrigo stainless steel RV mini refrigerator. Now this Italian-made mini fridge with the internal freezer is made with premium materials for structural integrity, operating efficiency, and a really nice refined look. This fridge is designed for a built-in installation for your RV, camper van, or boat. And this is constructed to withstand the rigors of off-road and marine conditions. Now this is built with a steel cabinet and then 316 stainless steel front here.

And this stainless steel, of course, is going to be resistant to corrosion and the blown polyurethane foam is going to improve its energy efficiency with full coverage and it hardens for enhanced structural stiffness. Now this is designed to operate at vehicle angles up to 30 degrees, so this is especially going to be great for in your boat. And this is going to hardwire into your 12 volt, 24 volt DC power. And for adequate air circulation, you do want to make sure that you have about three inches of clearance from the side of the cabinet to the side of the fridge. So that's gonna give you, like I said, that adequate air circulation and also heat dissipation.

The cabinet that you install this in should be vented, however, no vehicle exterior vent is going to be required. Now the door hinges can be mounted on either side for either left or right hand opening. And the included instructions will walk you through how you can move the hinges if you so desire. And the latch here at the top center of our door is going to make a reassuring click letting you know that that door is closed. And I wanted to give you a zoom in overhead here just to show you that this does have a locking vent design which is going to allow for proper airflow while you have this in storage.

So let me go ahead and just give you a brief demonstration of that. Underneath the top here we have these push button levers, tabs really, that if you push both of them in at the same time, you can then slide this out and then that's going to lock into place. And then when you bring your door closed the latch is going to lock into this mechanism here, this slide out mechanism, preventing this door from closing all the way. So let me go ahead and zoom back into the front here. And as you can see, that door is gonna be locked in a slightly ajar position to allow this to air out while you have this in storage during the off season.

And so when you're ready to use this, you're not gonna have to worry about it being potentially moldy or musty inside. And so then when you are ready to use this fridge you're just gonna push in on those tabs and then slide that back in and then you're gonna be able to close this fully just like that. So that's really a great feature that this refrigerator offers is the ability to leave that door slightly open just to allow the inside to have air circulating through there when it's not in use. Now the total inside capacity is 4.2 cubic feet. The fridge itself is 3.6 cubic feet and the freezer is 0.6 cubic feet. Now obviously I don't have this connected to power but when you have this connected and you have the door open, we have a bright, efficient LED light that's going to make it easier, especially late at night when you're looking for your favorite midnight snack. And then the temperature control dial is behind one of the produce drawers here and it's right there to allow you to adjust that temperature as you need it. And inside of the fridge itself, if you notice, we do have two adjustable wire-coated shelves. And I wanted to show you that they are adjustable and they're easy to adjust. As you can see right now, they're secured in place so you're not gonna have to worry about the shelves sliding out on their own. But when you are ready to adjust it, what I have found is you could just pop up the back of one of the shelves here and then that's going to allow you to slide it out. And then I'm just gonna move it a level down here, slide that back into place, and then I go ahead and just push the back of the shelf down into place and then that's going to secure it in place. So again, these wire shelves are coated, they are both adjustable. And then below the shelves we have two clear produce drawers and a tempered glass shelf that's above those produce drawers. Inside of the door, as you can see, we have three shelves and the lower shelf here has a safety bar that's going to keep things in place. And then we also have these sliding tabs for like if you put bottles in there or condiment bottles or something like that, you can move those tabs to have kind of a tighter hold on whatever you put in that lower shelf. Now the only shelf that's adjustable here on the inside of the door is the middle shelf. So I have it at the lowest position here but then you can move it up to a higher position as well if you so desire. And then we have a full coverage freezer door which is going to allow for easier access and better temperature management. And as you can see, this freezer door pivots upward and it actually stays in place, which is nice. There's a magnet there, so that door's gonna stay out of the way while you grab your frozen items. And we have a little ice tray as well that's included with this. And so this is going to be very easy and very convenient to use. And again, you're gonna know when your freezer is shut, because it's going to secure back down and it's not going to pop open by itself. Now this does feature a one-piece sliding flange system which is going to allow for either flush or recess mounting options in your cabinet. I do wanna point out that hardware is not included for mounting, so you would have to get the appropriate hardware that you need for your specific installation and application. And let me go ahead and give you some measurements just so you can be confident that this is going to work for you. I want give you the the overall width including the flange first. So from one end of the flange to the other, we're sitting at about 23 1/8 inches wide. Without the flange, the overall width of the refrigerator is right at 21 3/8 inches wide. With the flange, the overall height from top to bottom is about 31 5/16 inches tall and without the flange, the height of the fridge is about 30 3/16 inches tall. And then the overall depth, including the portion here that sticks out in the back here, with or without the flange, the depth is going to be the same. We're gonna be sitting right at about 21 3/4 inches deep and the fridge itself weighs about 65 pounds. So it kind of gives you an idea of just how heavy this is. But overall, that's going to wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
