Commercial fridges are undoubtedly more expensive than smaller units, given that they range in capacities from 60 – 300 bottles, depending on the budget.
Placement
units usually have ventilation located at the back of the physical frame, and this vent is responsible for making sure that the unit has enough airflow, and is able to maintain a consistent cool internally.
Because of this, these coolers have to be placed in locations where this airflow is unrestricted, so it requires an open space.
Therefore, these units cannot be used within an undercounter or built-in setting.
Alternatively, depending on how large the unit is, they are also appropiate for use as countertop coolers, as long as their ventilation is not restricted.
