If you've been coveting 1 of Rocco’s astute decorator minifridges, you mightiness beryllium funny to cognize the brand's biggest merchantability of 2026 starts today, featuring the brand-new Rocco Essential for nether $1,000 and the OG Classic successful this year’s new Beige colorway, arsenic good arsenic achromatic and 2 uncommon bluish colors, for $1,495—as debased arsenic the Classic ever gets.
Today besides marks the rerelease of the Classic's Icy Blue and Royal Blue, 2 seldom seen colors that Rocco says are not coming backmost aft this year.
The Essential
WIRED
- More modern style
- Drawer plan is much flexible
- Gets down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit
TIRED
- Only 1 somesthesia zone
- Fewer colors
- Shorter warranty than the Classic
The Essential was conscionable released successful August and conscionable began shipping successful September; I'm presently investigating it now. It's lone been astir a week and a half, but aboriginal impressions are positive. It has the aforesaid astute show strategy arsenic the Classic, but the biggest quality is evidently the look. Vintage-inspired fluted solid and rounded edges are out; sleek minimalism is in. The tinted acheronian solid doorway takes up the full front, with a color-matched metallic grip you tin swap retired for midcentury-inspired oak for an other $95.
It's lone got 1 somesthesia portion arsenic opposed to the Classic's two, but my favourite portion truthful acold has been the interior—instead of the Classic's old-fashioned ligament racks, the Essential sports smooth-glide drawers lined with a rubbery worldly and grip strips. This makes it overmuch much accommodating to oddly shaped drinks, and prevents cans (it tin clasp up to 77) from rolling astir each clip you unfastened your Rocco. It besides gets colder than the Classic model—down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit alternatively of 37. My main vexation truthful acold is that the show strategy has been a small spotty and dilatory to admit erstwhile drinks person been removed, but I'm having that occupation with the Classic arsenic well, truthful it's not circumstantial to this model. All colors (Cream, Sage, Graphite) of the Essential are presently discounted.

The handsome, vintage-inspired model is the 1 that started it all. Its heavy alloy assemblage comes successful a scope of amusive colors, the fluted solid refracts perchance drink-damaging light, and it comes with a color-matched metallic tray truthful it tin treble arsenic a barroom cart. It's got 2 isolated somesthesia zones for reddish and achromatic vino (or extra-crispy Cokes), positive 5 full-sized racks and 1 half-rack—enough for 88 cans oregon 27 bottles of wine.
