Before the Rocco, that meant perching bottles on top of my roommate’s old college mini fridge: a retro light blue number that looked cute next to our yellow couch but left a lot to be desired functionally. The interior was designed like a fun-size version of a normal fridge, with no space-efficient way to store cans or bottles. It also jutted into the room further than we’d have liked, and the square top was fine for stashing bottles but not great for actually finding them.
The Rocco seemed like the ideal upgrade. Designed to hold a mix of wine bottles and canned beverages on adjustable racks, with a top built to function as a home bar and a shallow depth that works well in tight quarters, it promised to meet every one of my needs. Plus, it was pretty.
What I love about it
In addition to being cute, the Super Smart Fridge boasts dual temperature zones to keep your reds and whites appropriately chilled and a host of smart features (hence its name), like app connectivity and a camera that supposedly tells you what’s inside your fridge.
After testing this fridge for two years, I can confidently say that it’s been a true hosting game-changer. I love that I can set one half of it to fridge-cold for sodas, hard seltzers, and the like, while keeping the other half at a warmer temp more suitable for wine—all of which I can control remotely from the app (which works very well for that purpose). It’s incredibly quiet and even has multiple noise level modes that you can switch between (Smart, Quiet, and Party).
