Everyone knows why a second fridge in the house is a great idea. You save power opening a smaller fridge to get beers out compared to opening your big kitchen unit every 20 minutes when you’ve got guests over. It also much easier to grab a cold drink when you’re in the shed when you’ve got a second fridge close by.

We’ve got some great news to share – the humble bar fridge has been overtaken by another type of fridge/freezer that’s far more portable and practical. Let us show you why you need an Adventure Kings portable fridge/freezer in your home instead of a bar fridge.

Much more multi purpose:

Bar fridges are very limiting as far as their uses go. Once you plug one in your garage, that’s basically it. They only run on 240v mains power which means they have to be close to a mains power point or you need to run a long (trip hazard) extension cord if you want to use it in the backyard for a BBQ.

Once full, they almost never get used. They don’t have easy carry handles and they’re not designed to be transported. Chances are your second fridge at home is also being used as a storage shelf on top, so it’s definitely not going anywhere in a hurry.

An Adventure Kings 60L fridge/freezer will change the way you think of second fridges, trust us.

First up, this is a real fridge/freezer. Bar fridges either don’t come with a freezer option, or have a tiny little shelf at the top that can barely fit a few trays of ice cubes. Your 60L Kings fridge can either cool down a heap of beers (81 cans in fact) or act as a full-size 60L freezer – perfect as extra storage after buying bulk meat, or prepping for Christmas. Many people use their Kings fridge/freezer as a bar fridge most of the year and as a freezer if guests are coming, removing the need for a full time deep freeze in their house. This of course saves them plenty of power.

When used as a bar fridge, a Kings fridge/freezer will hold a better variety of drinks. You can stand tall wine bottles up in it – good luck doing that in a bar fridge. If the champagne is open, you don’t need to worry about it spilling like it can when a bar fridge door is swung open in a hurry. It’s easy to put a big jug of juice or punch in the deep Kings 60L fridge/freezer as well – far bigger than the small sizes that a bar fridge can accommodate in a narrow door.

But the real versatility of a Kings fridge/freezer lies in its portability. A 240v power cord is included, so you can easily take advantage of it in the house. Move it between the kitchen, garage, shed, backyard or basement with the easy carry handles and you can quickly shift the second fridge to wherever it’s needed that day.

Swap the 240v cord for the included 12v cord and you can run your portable Kings fridge/freezer in your car, boat, caravan, camper trailer or off the grid using a battery and – how handy is that!

A bar fridge is something that has very few uses. A Kings fridge/freezer is just as handy to have around the home but is also perfect to take for a week camping, a day trip to the beach, or as emergency backup during a blackout. Your bar fridge won’t be any use if the power goes out, but you could hook your Kings fridge/freezer up to your car to keep milk and meat cold for a day or two at a time if needed, saving you the cost and hassle of spoiled food!

Kings fridge/freezers are built to handle the rough-and-tumble of 4WDing, so they’re certainly up to the challenge of life in a workshop or shed. Able to down to minus 18 degrees, you’ll never have a problem keeping your beers cold thanks to the legendary Secop BD35F compressor in the 60L model. An internal basket with divider makes it much easier to pack and unpack this fridge compared to a bar fridge too – no need to hurt your knees and back bending over to load a fridge for the weekend!

Easy to move, easy to pack, easy to clean – it’s no wonder the Kings 60L fridge/freezer is as big a hit at home as it is at camp. Enjoy!
