Momma Told Me: Have a room that is entirely yours.
I'm not much for sports, however, when baseball season rolls around I'll support breaking out the barbeques and a little overzealous team cheering in the name of good sportsman-ship. As an East Coast (by blood) native, I don't typically fit into the eb and flow of the local sports celebrations. Flanked by Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers fans in my local Southern California community, I'm not always tuning into the same games as my community. In fact, we spend a lot of time cheering for the Red Sox in the comfort of our own home, just the two of us (and the furry kids too.)
Since we live in a 2 bedroom condo, space is limited; and it's not exactly a hike to any end of the house from another. That being said, when you're in the middle of a rivalry game (Sox VS. Yankees) you don't feel compelled to step away from the screen to refill your refreshments. No matter your sport or season, hardcore fans require hardcore preparation for the season ahead. Whether you only wear blue socks on game days, hold all calls while the clock is running, or believe what you drink impacts how the team plays- a well stocked 'fan-cave' is essential for any sports fan.
That's right folks, I've re-imagined the man-cave into a 'fan-cave' for sports enthusiasts of all genders. Football, hockey, baseball, basketball and more- when your season comes, make sure you are ready to cheer in your underpants with Baxter or with the entire neighborhood over burn bratwurst. For your fan-cave consideration, I submit the NewAir AB-850 Beverage Cooler, a beautifully affordable refrigeration unit intended to outfit any home room with instant refreshment.
With an 84 can maximum capacity and 7 level mechanical temperature controls, there is never an excuse to be without your favorite game-day refreshment again. Don't cheer for sports? Wouldn't it be nice to have a cooler stocked for the neighborhood kids after school? No more rooting through your fridge! Featuring a stainless steel door with internal LED lighting (toggled by an on/off switch) and chrome plated racks, the
AB-850 by NewAir is ready-to-go out of the box. Simply remove all packaging and paperwork, then plug the unit in for 30 minutes prior to adjusting the temperature level or stocking.
I know what you're thinking- How much is all this high class fancy schmancy living going to cost me on my electric bill? The appliance energyguide estimates annual running costs for this Fan-Cave essential are around $53 a year. And operation is fairly quiet (think small aquarium filtration hum), so it won't effect your game day ritual ambiance. In fact, it cycles much like my main fridge, and the fan does not run constantly, but only to maintain a constant temperature after having been opened or during afternoon temperature fluctuations.
While the AB-850 Beverage Cooler chills fairly quickly expect at maximum capacity it won't chill as efficient as your main kitchen refrigerator. This unit is a cooler, which means it will chill between 34F and 64F, depending on the number of beverages within it. Currently our unit is half-filled with an assortment of plastic water bottles, soda cans, and beer bottles and is averaging a liquid temperature around 48F. This cooler also comes with 3 removable chrome plated racks, so you can chill everything from cans to 2-liter bottles, depending on your seasonal needs. Perhaps what I like best is that I've been able to free up a shelf in my main refrigerator, and can have a larger variety of beverages ready-to consume throughout the day.
NewAir offers a large range of home heating and cooling appliances, as well as portable electronics (like the coveted portable Al-100r Ice Maker. If you're not in the market for a beverage cooler right now consider browsing their affordable appliances for home comfort and convenience. You never know what your fan-cave might need!
