Perlick was founded in 1917, located Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The partnership was called R. Perlick Brass Works. The goal was to begin an organization that would be recognized by its peers as a responsible manufacturer of items made of brass. In the years that followed, Perlick manufactured brass fittings for in plant brewery use, along with keg fittings and cooler boxes cooled with ice. 1940 Perlick would soon develop a refrigeration department of its own, and become the top manufacturer of Bar and Beverage Equipment.
Today Perlick products are ubiquitous in most of today's finest restaurants, bars, hotels, stadiums and resorts. A family-owned company now in its fourth generation, Perlick has parlayed its experience in commercial refrigeration and beverage dispensing products to create a singularly exquisite line of home entertaining products.
The models of the Perlick C-Series - including Refrigerators, Beverage Centers, and Wine Reserves - clearly surpass the current market when it comes to both design and function. Each model features a whisper-quiet compressor which delivers a robust 700 Btu - up to twice the cooling power of other brands; and the interiors feature commercial-grade stainless steel, not plastic. The full-height door, graced by a sleek and sophisticated designer handle, is available in solid stainless steel, insulated glass, or with a wood overlay to perfectly match surrounding cabinetry. Like all Perlick products, each C-Series model is made to order and hand crafted at the Perlick headquarters in Milwaukee.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by mentalward So far, so good
I read reviews before buying this fridge, and wasn't sure why there were so many accolades. I mean, to me, it's just a mini-fridge. But now that it's installed, I better understand the beauty of silence. I keep opening the door to make sure its working. I also LOVE the slideout shelves--so much easier to load and unload my stock-piles of coke. I've only had it running for a week, but so far it lives up to its reputation.
I also have a different bev center, which has a blue, internal light that can be turned on, and left on. It looks pretty cool. The Perlick only has the standard white light when the door is opened. For something in this price range, it would be better if it had the "cool" factor (pun intended).

Rated 3 out of 5 Picture is Misleading!
I bought this fridge because of the picture. It was the only under counter fridge that I found with lights for each shelf.
Not sure how they did it for the picture, but there is only one light in the top corner. I probably would have selected something cheaper had I known the lighting was not accurately pictured (even the pics on the perlick website show the lights!)
