Rhino ENV1 Outdoor Bar Fridge Specs & Sizing Guide

By KING CAVE· Last updated 17 July 2026 · 5 min read

If you've been searching for the env1r-ss, env1l-ss, or one of the solid-door variants, you're looking at the Rhino ENV1 — known to Rhino as the "Envy" — a single-door, 148 litre outdoor bar fridge built in 316 marine grade stainless steel. It's a compact, alfresco-rated unit designed to sit under a benchtop, and the range is split two ways: heated glass door (-SS) versus solid door (-SD), each available in a left-hinge (L) or right-hinge (R) build. Below is the full spec breakdown for every model in the family, so you can match the right SKU to your cabinetry and door-swing before you buy.

Rhino ENV1 Range Overview

Every model in the ENV1 range shares the same footprint, capacity, and 316 marine grade stainless steel build. What changes across the four SKUs is the door type (heated glass or solid) and the hinge side (left or right). Here's what's common to all four:

  • Capacity: 148 litres
  • External Dimensions: 600mm (W) x 575mm (D) x 840mm (H)
  • Noise Level: 43 dB
  • Energy Rating: 8.0 stars
  • Doors: 1, lockable
  • Mounting: Under-counter
  • Location Rating: Indoor and outdoor (alfresco) use
  • Warranty: 2 years
  • Rear Ventilation Clearance: 50mm

Rhino ENV1 Dimensions & Model Comparison

All four ENV1 models share identical external dimensions, so fitment doesn't change based on door type or hinge side — only running cost and power draw do. Here's the full comparison:

Model Door Type Hinge Capacity (L) Width (mm) Depth (mm) Height (mm) Noise (dB) Power (kWh/24h) Running Cost (AUD/yr) Energy Rating Warranty
ENV1L-SS Heated Glass Left 148 600 575 840 43 2.33 $218.06 8.0 2 years
ENV1R-SS Heated Glass Right 148 600 575 840 43 2.33 $218.06 8.0 2 years

ENV1R-SD Solid Right 148 600 575 840 43 1.03 $96.39 8.0 2 years

Detailed Model Breakdown

ENV1L-SS: 148L Left-Hinge Heated Glass Door, 316 Stainless

The ENV1L-SS is built in 316 marine grade stainless steel with a heated glass door, which helps prevent condensation fogging the glass in humid or alfresco settings. It's left-hinged, opens from the right-hand side, and draws 2.33 kWh over 24 hours — working out to roughly $218.06 a year to run. Like every ENV1, it's rated for both indoor and outdoor use and comes with a 2-year warranty and a lockable door.

ENV1R-SS: 148L Right-Hinge Heated Glass Door, 316 Stainless

The ENV1R-SS is the mirror-image sibling of the ENV1L-SS — same 316 marine grade stainless steel build, same heated glass door, same 2.33 kWh/24hr power draw and $218.06/yr running cost, but hinged on the right so the door opens from the left. Choose this one when your cabinetry or bar layout needs the door swinging the opposite way.

ENV1L-SD: 148L Left-Hinge Solid Door, 316 Stainless

The ENV1L-SD swaps the heated glass for a solid 316 marine grade stainless steel door, which drops power consumption significantly — down to just 1.03 kWh over 24 hours, or about $96.39 a year to run. That's less than half the running cost of the glass-door models, making it the pick if you don't need to see inside and want to minimise power draw. It's left-hinged and carries the same 2-year warranty and indoor/outdoor rating as the rest of the range.

ENV1R-SD: 148L Right-Hinge Solid Door, 316 Stainless

The ENV1R-SD is the right-hinged version of the solid door model — same 316 marine grade stainless steel solid door, same 1.03 kWh/24hr draw and $96.39/yr running cost as the ENV1L-SD, just hinged so the door opens from the left. It's the most efficient model in the ENV1 range and suits installs where the door needs to swing away from the right.

Fitting Guide: Ventilation & Installation

All four ENV1 models share the same 600mm (W) x 575mm (D) x 840mm (H) footprint and are designed for under-counter mounting, so the fitting considerations are identical across the range.

Ventilation Clearance

The ENV1 needs at least 50mm of clearance at the rear for adequate airflow. Make sure your under-counter cavity allows for this rear vent gap so the fridge can dissipate heat properly and run efficiently.

Indoor and Outdoor Use

Every model in the range is rated for both indoor and outdoor (alfresco) installation, which is what makes the ENV1 a genuine outdoor bar fridge rather than an indoor unit pushed outside. The 316 marine grade stainless steel build is suited to exposed, alfresco environments.

Hinge Selection

Hinge side is fixed on each SKU — the ENV1 is not a reversible-door design. Choose the L (left-hinge) SKU if you need the door to open from the right, or the R (right-hinge) SKU if you need it to open from the left, based on your bar layout and walkway clearance.

Door Type and Running Cost

If minimising power draw matters for your install, the solid door models (ENV1L-SD, ENV1R-SD) use less than half the energy of the heated glass models — 1.03 kWh/24hr versus 2.33 kWh/24hr — which flows through to a running cost of $96.39/yr versus $218.06/yr.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ENV1L-SS and ENV1R-SS?

Only the hinge side. Both are 148L heated glass door models in 316 marine grade stainless steel with identical dimensions, power draw (2.33 kWh/24hr), and running cost ($218.06/yr). The ENV1L-SS is left-hinged; the ENV1R-SS is right-hinged.

What's the difference between the -SS and -SD models?

The -SS models (ENV1L-SS, ENV1R-SS) have a heated glass door, which helps prevent condensation but draws 2.33 kWh/24hr. The -SD models (ENV1L-SD, ENV1R-SD) have a solid stainless steel door and draw only 1.03 kWh/24hr — less than half the power and running cost.

Can the Rhino ENV1 be installed outdoors?

Yes. All four ENV1 models are rated for both indoor and outdoor (alfresco) use.

How much ventilation clearance does the ENV1 need?

Allow at least 50mm of clearance at the rear of the unit for proper airflow.

Are the ENV1 doors reversible?

No. Hinge side is fixed per SKU — choose the L (left-hinge) or R (right-hinge) model to suit your door-swing requirements.
