- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021We’ve all seen products like this one before: a small refrigerator, less than three feet tall, designed for use in an office, dorm room, or recreational vehicle. It’s a little too tall to fit under most standard-height desks, but it will fit under bar-height counters, planning tables, and standing desks. It has a large enough capacity to store the cold contents of a bachelor kitchen, if you organize it carefully, and it runs with minimal waste.
This mini-fridge is light enough for most adults to lift, carry, and position where you need it, even if it’s an elevated space like a counter. Setting it up, you will find it has a relatively short cord, about three feet, so you’ll need to set it up near an existing outlet. It has a large enough motor that I don’t recommend using a household extension cord to broaden that reach, though you could probably use a construction-grade extension cord if you absolutely need to.
The cooling unit is located inside the freezer compartment, which is standard on most small refrigerators. The freezer cools the entire space around it, though only the freezer is cold enough to freeze water. If you actually want to make ice in the freezer, you need to set the temperature control at maximum cold; otherwise, the freezer won’t get cold enough. Don’t worry, even at maximum cold, the compressor remains quiet, almost silent.
The first time I stored ice cream in the freezer overnight, it came out soft. When you first plug in the unit, the freezer won’t be completely cold. I found this a serious problem, and it gets in the way of keeping food fresh. However, the inside surface of the freezer will develop a layer of frost, and when this happens, frozen food will remain frozen. I consider this a drawback, but not a terrible one.
To its credit, the compressor runs very quietly; I keep mine in my home office, and it doesn’t disrupt phone calls or other routine business. It’s so quiet that you could probably use it as a bedside table and it wouldn’t disturb your sleep. Vibrations are minimal, and it just doesn’t create a disturbance. It also doesn’t require a great deal of electricity, and has made no noticeable difference in my utility bills.
It isn’t perfect. Like I said, you have to have a layer of frost on the inside of the freezer to make it actually keep food frozen, but you can’t let that layer get too thick, so you have to scrape it occasionally. The freezer is not frost-free, and you need to take care of the excess yourself, carefully. (It comes with a plastic scraper.) The first time you take a frozen item out and find it partially thawed, it may come as a shock.
However, overall, I’ve found it a desirable addition to my home office. It lets me keep drinks, snacks, and small meals on hand, ready to go while I’m working. It doesn’t create unnecessary distractions in the form of noise or vibrations. And if you keep up with the maintenance so it doesn’t ice over, it should be good for a dorm kitchen, camper, or office. It isn’t perfect, but it’s more than good enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2016I purchased this fridge last August (2015) while I was working on my rental house in Southern California. I had tenants bail on me after doing much damage that I had to tend to from 500 miles away. I had initially started my trips in May and I brought a large ice chest with me. I was making trips every two weeks...two weeks home and then two weeks at the rental. When I was at the rental I had to buy ice every other day to keep the ice chest cool. It was really, really hot and the ice melted quickly. I literally drained water out of lunch meat packages and had to blot my cheese just to make sandwiches. I was walking through Home Depot with my handyman one day to get supplies for repairs and there was a mini-fridge on display. It looked nice but was almost two hundred bucks. Later I went on Amazon and found this fridge. I only wish I had looked sooner! By the time I bought this fridge in August, I had literally paid more for ice since May than what this fridge cost me. I did read the reviews first and was concerned that most purchasers had received damaged items and stated the packaging was very poor. I held my breath, crossed my fingers, and placed my order. It arrived promptly...really quick! I have to say that yes, the packaging is really bad. Really bad. The box covering the unit seems original with the item nicely photographed and your standard descriptions of the unit. However, there is literally no bottom to the box!! There are shipping straps affixed that wrap the unit to hold it into the 3/4 of the box. Styrofoam "planks" are under the unit so that most of it won't touch the ground. I snipped off the straps, pulled the box up and inspected my fridge. Thankfully, I had no major dents on the exterior of the unit as some customers reported, but one if the leveling legs was broken. Remember, there is literally no bottom to this shipping box! NO BOTT0M! Okay, so...I placed this unit in the garage and followed the included instructions as far as plugging it in, setting the temperature dial and waiting for the unit to be ready to place items into it. The instructions said to plug it in and wait three (3) hours before placing items into the fridge. It arrived at about 11:30 am. I had it in place in the garage and plugged-in at about 12:00pm. The compressor fired right up and I was putting my stuff inside by 3:30 that afternoon! No more soggy sandwiches! Also, the freezer did freeze! I went to the store a couple of days later and bought some small frozen dinners. Mind you, I was sleeping on an air mattress in a totally vacant house. Spending tons of money on repairs so going out to eat was not an option! Being able to put a couple of frozen entrees into the freezer was epic! The exterior of this unit is just frankly gorgeous. I got the stainless steel version. I has a black glossy top and sides. It looks like a million bucks! It's sturdy but not unmanageable. I carried it myself from the garage into the house while the garage floor was coated, albeit slowly and carefully. I carried it back into the garage when I left. My new tenants are aware that it is to remain in place for my personal use. If you follow the included directions you cannot go wrong with this unit. I am super thrilled with mine!! I give the actual unit 5 stars. The packaging however, rates only one star. I have no idea how these get packaged the way they do but it is a concern. I would advise to make this purchase. Even if the exterior has damage, for the price you simply can't do better. Oh, and you can configure the interior as you wish. Real shelves! More room than you might think at first glance.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2025Had it for 5 years and no problem at all. My husband always thinks 'if it's cheap it isn't any good'. Well in this case he's totally wrong.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible quality
Terrible quality, awful packaging, and a complete failure with the refund process!
I bought this mini fridge as a gift, and it arrived damaged in the upper corner! It’s clear that the packaging was done carelessly. Such negligence towards customers is unacceptable!
But the worst part is that I couldn’t even get my money back! The return process was extremely inconvenient, and no adequate solution was offered. Wasted money, a ruined gift, and zero accountability from the seller.
I strongly advise against buying this product or dealing with this seller!
