When counter space is tight, a swing-door fridge can get in the way. This Vitrifrigo drawer refrigerator fits compact installations with an integrated compressor and a small freezer compartment, so food stays organized and easy to reach
In compact galleys and living spaces, a traditional refrigerator door can block walkways and limit access. The drawer-style design keeps your refrigerator accessible from above, making it easier to grab food and drinks when space is tight. Vitrifrigo pairs that layout with a matte black front panel featuring a soft-touch, fingerprint-resistant, and scratch-resistant finish, giving your installation a refined appearance that holds up to regular handling.
When available space is limited, every inch inside your refrigerator matters. This unit provides 1.8 cu ft of storage along with a 0.1 cu ft freezer compartment for light frozen items, while the interior is designed to accommodate bottles up to 9-13/16" tall. Your food, beverages, and essentials stay organized in a compact footprint that fits where larger refrigeration options can't.
Retrofitting refrigeration into an existing cabinet often becomes more complicated when compressors require additional space or external mounting considerations. The integrated internal compressor keeps everything contained within the refrigerator itself, helping maintain compact dimensions and reducing installation complexity. Internal fixing points support a secure installation, while compatibility with finishing panels from 1/16" to 1/8" thick helps your refrigerator blend into surrounding cabinetry.
Refrigerator drawers can see constant use throughout a trip, especially when food and drinks are accessed throughout the day. The Chromelock handle with metallic finish has been tested for more than 150,000 opening and closing cycles, supporting long-term operation in active environments. Your refrigerator remains easy to open and close even after years of repeated use.
When your refrigerator sits unused for extended periods, trapped moisture can become a concern. The integrated vent position function allows the drawer to remain slightly open during non-use, while the removable gasket simplifies maintenance and replacement when needed. Your refrigerator is easier to prepare for storage and quicker to put back into service when the next trip arrives.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Vitrifrigo Black C51DWi RV Refrigerator. Now this is a compact drawer style refrigerator that is going to be specifically designed for use in your boat, motor home and RV. Basically anywhere space is going to be tight and things need to stay secure while you are moving. So instead of the traditional door that you typically have on refrigerators, this one slides out like a drawer as you can see right there.
So that's gonna make it a whole lot easier to access things in a narrow or crowded area. This is gonna give you about 1.8 cubic feet of total storage, including a small built-in freezer compartment. So the freezer's gonna be pretty modest at about 0.1 cubic feet, so it's best for light use only. And I'm a little bit limited as to how much I can show you the inside just because of my camera setup and my studio setup. But I kind of want to give you an angle view here.
I'm gonna pop this open and you've got a pretty good view of what's going on inside. So here's the freezer that I was mentioning. So I'm just going to pop that lid open there. So you just got a really small area there. And then this does come with a small ice cube tray as well.
And then it's just basically kind of a flap deal there and you push that down and then you've got, you can easily reach into here. I'm gonna give you an overhead view there just to kind of show you what it looks like on the inside. So going back to the freezer, it's good for light use, maybe like keeping ice packs or a few frozen items like pizza rolls or something in there. It's not ideal for stocking freezer goods for a long-term solution. And I'm gonna go ahead and close this real quick.
I just wanna give you some overall measurements. So looking at the overall height, we're sitting pretty close to 22 inches tall. That's including our trim here. And then looking at the overall width, about 17 and 7/16ths inches long. And then the overall depth and we're including where this handle bumps out here just a little bit, about 20 and 1/4 inches deep. This weighs about 45 pounds or so. I was able to get it up here on my tabletop without a whole lot of problems, so it's not terribly heavy. This does run on DC power only, so that's gonna be great for RV obviously and marine electrical setup. So this does use the standard R134A refrigerant and I think you can see we do have our temperature control right here. It's straightforward, it's a mechanical thermostat, nothing overly complicated. Basically just a simple reliable way to keep things cool. Our handle is built with a ChromaLok design it's called. And this has been tested to withstand over 150,000 open and close cycles, so that's pretty impressive. Now the drawer can be left slightly open when it's not in use to prevent odors and moisture buildup. And right here, and I know it's kind of hard for you to see here, we do have a slide tab here. So I'm just gonna slide it that way. And what that's going to allow this to do is to close and to be secured so it doesn't open, but it's not open flush or it's not closed flush rather, it's not completely sealed. So that's going to allow this to air out. You're not gonna have to worry about musty smells or mold beginning to form in there. And then when you're ready to use this and actually operate it, you're just gonna slide that back over and then that's going to push this completely shut and sealed. The gasket is also removable, so the gasket around the door here is gonna be removable to allow for cleaning and replacing it. So it's gonna make that a whole lot easier as well if you ever need to do that. The fridge has built in fixing points to help keep this secure during installation. The exterior has a matte black finish and I do like that matte black because it's not gonna pick up fingerprints like glossy black or even like a chrome type finish. And so it's gonna be resistant to scratches and fingerprints and I think you're gonna be able to keep it clean without a whole lot of effort. The inside, and, again, I know it's kind of tricky to see, but it is designed to hold bottles just under 10 inches tall and so it's gonna be handy to keep drinks cool as well. And I don't know if I mentioned this, but you can actually customize the look if you want, the finishing. This can accept finishing panels within a certain thickness range. I think we do have the measurements listed on our product page, but, so you can customize this if you so desire, but I think that covers all the essential elements of this fridge for you to know. And hopefully the measurements and the details are good enough for you to determine if this is gonna be a good item for you to consider.
