VEVOR Drop-in Ice Chest 18in x12in x14.5in Stainless Steel 40.9 qt — Sliding Lid & Drain

This compact, built-in ice cooler is designed for bars, outdoor kitchens, and service counters that need reliable, low-maintenance cold storage without electricity. With a 28QT ice capacity and PU foam insulation, it keeps ice and beverages cold for extended periods while the stainless construction and full-weld interior reduce leak risk and simplify cleaning. The sliding cover and drain-pipe make it practical for continuous use in busy hospitality settings.

How much ice and beverages can this bin hold?

The VEVOR drop-in chest holds about 28 quarts of ice (approximately 26.7 liters), making it suitable for moderate to heavy short-term service. In practical terms, a full bin can support roughly 112 cups of 16 oz beverages chilled by ice, so it suits small bars, catering stations, and outdoor kitchens that need frequent access to cold drinks.

• Capacity: 28 QT (26.7 L) ice volume
• Estimated chilled drinks: ~112 cups (16 oz)
• Dimensions: 18" L x 12" W x 14.5" H for shallow embedded counters

What keeps the ice cold without electricity?

The chest uses a 20 mm PU foam insulation layer combined with a stainless-steel shell and a sliding cover to trap cold and slow melt. This non-electric arrangement provides more than 24 hours of insulation in typical conditions, so it performs well for events, mobile bars, and outdoor service where power isn’t available.

• 0.79" (20 mm) PU foam insulation for low thermal transfer
• Sliding cover reduces air exposure and heat gain
• Stainless lids and walls reflect heat and resist corrosion

How is the VEVOR ice chest installed and maintained?

The unit is built for embedded installation into counters or bars and includes a filter-style drain-pipe and removable drain plug to manage meltwater. Interior full-weld construction and stainless materials simplify cleaning, while the drain mesh prevents ice loss when emptying water.

• Designed for drop-in installation in bar or counter cutouts
• Filter-style drain pipe plus drain plug for fast drainage
• Full-welded SUS304 interior minimizes leak points and eases sanitation

What materials and durability features does it offer?

The chest pairs an interior of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel with an exterior of SUS201 for a cost-conscious, corrosion-resistant finish. Its integrated welding and durable sliding lid lower maintenance needs and extend service life in commercial environments.

• Interior: SUS304 stainless steel, food-grade and corrosion-resistant
• Exterior: SUS201 stainless steel for a sturdy outer shell
• Integrated full-weld construction to reduce leaks and wear

Who is this for? The VEVOR 18" drop-in ice chest fits small to medium hospitality operations, mobile bartenders, and home entertainers who want a built-in, non-electric chilling solution. It’s ideal where counter space is limited but consistent access to ice or chilled bottles is necessary—restaurants, hotels, outdoor kitchens, concession stands, and backyard bars will all benefit from its compact capacity, durable stainless construction, and easy drainage.
