Liam Sinclair – Refrigeration Expert View Profile →
- Pros: The LED lighting is impressively bright without adding heat, really showcasing the drinks inside.
- Cons: Its hinged doors need clearance, which can be tight in very narrow bar spaces.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head in Bakewell, Derbyshire, needed to replace its ageing and inefficient bar fridge ahead of the peak tourist season. Their old unit struggled to keep up on busy weekends, resulting in lukewarm drinks and frustrated customers. They chose the Koldbox KBC2 double door back bar cooler for its reliability and capacity.
"The new Koldbox fridge has been brilliant. It keeps everything at the perfect temperature, even when we're flat out. The LED lights make the bar look smarter, and the self-closing doors are a blessing when the team is in a rush. It’s just a solid, reliable piece of kit."
David Chen – General Manager
Since installation, the pub has seen a 20% faster turnaround on drink orders during peak service, eliminating complaints about drink temperature entirely.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure at least 5cm of clearance around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Use the adjustable feet to make sure the unit is perfectly level for efficient operation.
- Once in position, let the fridge stand for 3-4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant settle.
- Wipe down the interior with a damp cloth before loading it with your stock.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe up any spills inside immediately to prevent odours and stickiness.
- Once a month, check the door gaskets (seals) are clean and making full contact.
- Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils at the back every few months to remove dust buildup.
- For a deep clean, unplug the unit and wash shelves and the interior with a food-safe sanitiser.

Ever seen a bar fridge door left slightly ajar during a hectic shift? That's cold air—and your money—escaping. The Koldbox KBC2's self-closing doors are designed to prevent this. Think of it like a spring-loaded gate that always swings shut behind you. When staff are busy and grab a drink, they don't have to worry about pushing the door fully closed; the hinge mechanism does it for them. This simple feature ensures the fridge's internal temperature stays stable, meaning the compressor doesn't have to work overtime to cool it back down. The result is lower energy bills, less wear and tear on the machine, and most importantly, consistently frosty drinks for your customers.
Who Should Buy This?

- Restaurants & Bistros: Essential for showcasing a curated selection of wines, craft beers, and premium bottled waters for diners.
