Think about this for a minute; maybe you wish you could have the convenience of your home fridge even when you’re away from home, so that you can keep foods and drinks cold for hours. Well, now you can. You can have something that uses the best of both fridge and cooler, and it’s called the Cooler Fridge.

What Is a Cooler Fridge?

Before the invention of the fridge, bottles of wine or butter were stored in the icehouse. In winter people had their nice cold drinks but during the summers they had to content themselves with “lake-chilled” drinks. Perishable food had also to be eaten immediately. Excess food could not be stored – a lamentable fact in those days.

The invention of the fridge revolutionized family lives and industries. Perishable food could be stored for later. Food could be bought in bulk and stored in the fridge. The fridge, however, was invented ahead of the cooler.

The first metal cooler invented in the 1940s was a smart but simple solution to a problem. To keep drinking water cold, people relied on ice cubes or drinks chilled in the fridge. But the fridge couldn’t be towed to work and ice melted fast. The invention of the cooler also changed lifestyles. The fridge kept food and drinks cold longer – 24/7 but cold food and drinks had a shorter life span in coolers. Combine the features of the two and you have your fridge and cooler in one.

Excellence in Cooling

The market has its share of coolers. US brands such as the Igloo Coolers started it all. For 80 decade since the 1940s Igloo has been churning out colors. The coolers from Igloo have changed looks several times to reflect changing needs and the times but the classics are here to stay albeit with some nice alterations and additions.

The Igloo FRW 154 16 bottle wine cooler works like a cooler and a fridge. The wine bottles are kept secure and at the desired temperature. It’s compact size and neat looks makes it a fine addition to the bar area. The framed Glass Cooler door with invisible handle eliminates the frequent checking of the wine bottles.

Choosing Your Cooler/Fridge

Size is always a factor when shopping for your cooler-cum-fridge. If you entertain a lot a 16 bottle cooler/fridge is a practical choice. You do not need a unit that can house 16 bottles of wine if just enjoy an occasional wine. Bigger sized coolers/fridges use more electrical power.

Authorized outlets have cooler/fridge models for purchase, and you can also buy them online. Stay cool when you’re shopping by doing your shopping online and compare prices to get the best deals. In this way, you can find the perfect cooler/fridge to fit your needs.

When ordering your Igloo cooler/fridge inquires about the packaging. The cooler/fridge can get some nicks or the handle damaged in transit. If the store is within the area, personally see to the packaging and transport.

A cooler/fridge is a wise investment if you frequently give parties or love to have a glass of wine after every now and then. Champagne keeps well in the right temperature of the cooler/fridge and you are ready to serve them should friends pop in.
