Sunstone 4.1 Cu Ft Outdoor Refrigerator SAPFR21PRO - Reversible Door, Stainless Steel

How much will the SAPFR21PRO actually hold?

4.1 cubic feet of interior space, laid out with three full-depth shelves.

The door adds storage of its own, including a soda can dispenser and three side cubby shelves, so cans do not eat into the shelf space you need for food.

What cutout does it need?

21 1/4" wide, 34 3/8" high and 23 5/8" deep.

The refrigerator itself measures 20 1/2" wide by 33 1/2" high by 22 3/4" deep and weighs 99 pounds, so the opening leaves clearance around the body.

Which way does the door swing, and can I change it?

It comes configured as a right swing, and the door is reversible. A door pull for the left swing configuration is included in the box.

That means you can decide the hinge side after you see how the island traffic actually works.

Is it really rated for outdoor use?

Yes. It is commercially rated for indoor or outdoor installation and carries UL approvals and certifications.

The exterior is solid 304 stainless steel shielding, which is what stands up to weather in an exposed island.

How cold does it get?

Between 38 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on where you set the dial and the outside ambient temperature.

Outdoor units work against the air around them, so expect the cabinet temperature to track the setting more loosely on a hot day than an indoor fridge would.

How much power does it draw?

0.55 kWh per 24 hours. Sunstone rates it as energy efficient at that level of draw for continuous outdoor operation.

How are the controls set up?

A manual temperature dial. Sunstone specifies the dial for longevity rather than an electronic panel, which is one fewer component exposed to outdoor conditions.

Is there an interior light?

Yes, a large interior light with auto shut-off that turns off whenever the door is closed.

What keeps ice from building up inside?

An evaporative cooling method using an interior metallic netting layer, which spreads the cooling instead of concentrating frost in one spot.

It runs a high-efficiency compressor with direct fan cooling and Butane 600a refrigerant for faster temperature recovery after the door has been open.

How do I level it in the island?

It has adjustable self-leveling legs at the front and roll-along wheels at the back, so you can walk it into the opening and then set it level and stationary.

Will the finish match my Sunstone doors and drawers?

Yes. The exterior is brushed with a #4 vertical grain, kept consistent with Sunstone grills, doors and drawers so a run of components reads as one line.
