Small fridge for kegerator?

Hi - I’m new here.  I tried searching around the forums with a variety of different keywords to no avail.  I’m trying to figure out a configuration for a small kegerator for my NYC apartment.  I’m hoping to fit a 5-gal corny keg, or at a minimum a 2.5/3 gallon keg.  I have looked at some of the larger (4+ cubic feet fridges) that fit 2 5-gal kegs, but they are just too big.

So I don’t have any true sizing constraints, but here’s my basic premise:  I want the best fridge to fit 5, and only 5, gallons of beer.  If need be, I’d rather size down than size up given I’m not trying to disrupt my daily life in my small apartment.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a smaller fridge (2-3.3/5 cubic feet) that would meet my requirements?  I plan on running the taps through the door, so no tower necessary.

Any suggestions would be super helpful.  I’ll try to post my final product here to help anyone in the future looking to build out a smaller kegerator.  Thanks!

That’s a though order to fill. First, I don’t think you are going to find much to fit a single corny. The best fridges for conversion are over 4cf. You might be able to go with 2.5gal kegs, but it might be hard to find a fridge that can accommodate the depth due to the hump.

I used this fridge for my kegerator. I can fit two 5-gal Corny Kegs and a 5-lb CO2 tank.

Thanks, but unless I’m missing something it seems the specs for the smaller (<4 cubic feet) have not actually been published.

Yes, I forgot the original post required something smaller than 4cft
