The EdgeStar CBR1501SSOD is a 24-inch wide beverage cooler designed for built-in or undercounter installation in outdoor spaces. This unit features a stainless steel finish and has a capacity of 142 cans. It functions as a dedicated beverage refrigerator rather than a full-size refrigerator.
This appliance is intended for homeowners looking to add beverage storage in outdoor kitchens, patios, or bar areas where built-in installation is desired. The unit requires a 24-inch wide space for undercounter mounting and appropriate electrical power for outdoor use. Because this is designed as a built-in outdoor model, proper ventilation clearances and weather protection should be verified before installation.

How We Score It
Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

- Perfect
This is the best fridge for an outdoor patio or kitchen. It’s quiet and keeps my drinks very cold
Grch01VerifiedJan 27, 2021 - Excellence and quality
This Refrigerator is better than I expected. Quality is great. Well-made. A definite buy
Amazon CustomerVerifiedSep 4, 2020 - Love it
We love the refrigerator. It looks great.in out new outdoor kitchen.
JenWVerifiedJul 30, 2019 - I wanted to love this product, but...
I wanted to love this product, but unfortunately the one I received was defective... when I first plugged it in, the compressor/fan fired up (it's very quiet) but then it stopped and I got a error 'E3' on the LED display. So I had to send it back. Having dealt with this product firsthand, I can say that it seems very well made. However, I will be getting a different beverage cooler because this one is too difficult for one person to move (e.g., inside and outside). This is important because only after receiving the product did I learn it's recommended to operate outside only when the temperature is 50-95 degrees Fahrenheit -- which in my location means I need to bring it inside for the winter. I will be buying another EdgeStar cooler because I was very impressed with the quality of materials and construction; however, I'll be buying a smaller one.
Tom HVerifiedDec 9, 2016 - Cold Drinks by the Pool
love it, works great outdoors and keeps lots of drinks icy cold. Love this addition to our backyard!
sleepcarlaVerifiedAug 10, 2016 - I would look at the cheaper options...
Nice looks and cool lights... It keeps stuff cold, which is the important part.However, the fridge was great until it wasn't.I've owned it for about three years and these are my issues:The door has never fully closed. There is always a gap at the top of the door. I never had the time to call it in, and frankly didn't want to have to take it out of the bar outside.The bottom is bubbling already...The door doesn't stay closed if it's windy unless I lock it.
Christopher PellegrinoVerifiedMay 30, 2024 - Worked great until it was just out of warranty... then failed
Updating review: After having a service company look at it, they determined it most likely has a poor manufacturing process where the coolant leaked out. Furthermore, this unit uses BUTANE which few repair companies will rebuild (rebuilding costs more than the unit...) I've reached out to edgestar and will update my product review if they are helpful.---This has been a huge asset to our outdoor kitchen for a few years. Then it stopped cooling and I went to look at how to make a warranty claim - I can't because I bought it just over 3 years ago. Super lame and now I have to pay for a repair guy to come and fix it.

Brand Background
About EdgeStar
EdgeStar, a brand under the Living Direct umbrella headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas, has carved out a distinct position in the refrigeration market by focusing almost exclusively on specialty and entertainment-oriented appliances. Unlike full-line manufacturers, EdgeStar concentrates on categories designed for hosting and hobbyist use, with beverage centers representing the largest segment of their 62 active products tracked by Fridge.com. The brand also maintains notable presence in wine coolers, kegerators, and ice makers, making it a go-to option for consumers outfitting home bars, game rooms, or outdoor entertainment spaces. Models like the CWF440SZ wine cooler and the KC2000TWIN dual-tap kegerator exemplify the brand's specialty focus. Positioned in the value tier, EdgeStar appeals to buyers seeking purpose-built refrigeration without premium pricing, though this positioning means shoppers should calibrate expectations accordingly. The brand's narrow focus allows for targeted engineering in niche categories where mainstream manufacturers often offer only token selections. For consumers prioritizing beverage storage, draft beer systems, or supplemental cooling capacity over traditional kitchen refrigeration, EdgeStar provides dedicated options worth evaluating alongside more generalist competitors.
