We switched to undercounter refrigerator drawers because we wanted the option to store food. Beverage centers are not cold enough.

The answer to your question is no. Most beverage centers will state that they are not to be used to store food because they do not get cold enough. We opeted for the refrigerator drawers also. I use the top drawer for lettuece, celery, etc. I use the bottom drawer for wine and sodas. Love the drawers.

Thanks all...

I have a galley kitchen so I am trying to open up the space by not using upper cabinets and full height refrigeration. I'm opting for open shelving and long runs of counters on both sides.

Cleo, I bet the commercial uc refrigeration is not quiet and uses tons of energy :( I'll call True tomorrow.

My other fridge alternative is the narrow thermador freedom or bosch fridges in 24".
Boy refrigeration can be costly!

Look at Perlick for undercounter refrigeration. They have fridegs, freezers, wine coolers, drawers and combinations. Perlick makes the undercounter units used in stadiums and a lot of restaurants and bars. They are energy star rated, have a variable speed compressor, are no louder than a standard fridge, and have stainless steel drawers with glides that will hold more weight than I could figure out how to put in them. They can be integrated or have stainless fronts. We have the fridge drawers in out breakfast/coffee hutch and may put freezer drawers in our laundry room to get some counter space there.

I was looking around and saw a Summit glass door fridge that was 24" wide and a lot less than the Bosch or Thermador. I saw it at ajmadicon.com.

I know that GE Monogram has an undercounter fresh food refrigerator. That is what we decided to go with because so many beverage centers do not cool sodas, juice, etc to a cold enough temp.

Some beverage refrigerators do get cold enough to store food. Our Marvel undercounter refrigerator goes down to 33 degrees. Maybe a combination of undercounter refrigerator and drawers would work best? I don't think I'd want just drawers for my only food storage, but everyone's preferences are different.
