An aesthetically pleasing, brightly colored, retro-inspired mini-fridge with a built-in bottle opener? Yes, please! This adorable Frigidaire offers all of that and more. The cute design and cheery color choices (including red, blue, moonbeam, and coral) make it easy to style in your bedroom, and the reversible door gives you added flexibility. This model is compact at 16 inches deep, 18 inches wide, and just under 19 inches tall, and it weighs just 31 pounds—lightweight by appliance standards, giving you more options for placement than more sizable models. You can even store it under a desk or lofted bed. (Just be warned that it's cute enough that you'll want to keep it in view.)

Note, this fridge does not include a freezer, but with the flip of a switch it can be used as a warmer. (You know that dip you want to bring to the big game watch party? You're covered!) It does have limitations when it comes to cooling. You can count on 32 degrees cooler than the room (or outside) temperature, so plan accordingly if you live in a hot climate or anticipate lots of temperature fluctuations in your future.It would also work for skincare storage, although be warned you may be so enamored by the vintage aesthetic that you'll get distracted during your nightly routine. (Or maybe that's just us?) We're also fans of the small window at the center of the door, giving you a view of its contents without actually having to open it up. With a 4-liter or six-can capacity, it sits right alongside other countertop mini fridges in terms of volume, and the slide-out shelf can be adjusted to make the interior work for you. This wouldn't necessarily be a piece to replace your kitchen fridge, but an added convenience you can use in any room of your choosing, or even on-the-go! It weighs just 3 pounds and boasts a handle at the top for easy transport. Plug it in at home, or bring a charger with you for tailgating, barbecues, or any other gatherings. Johnathan Brewer, licensed general contractor and member of The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board Of course, if you’re looking for a mini fridge that can travel with you, smaller is better. While you have to keep an eye out for models that require power leads to be bought separately, a travel fridge for the car is ideal for camping trips or long drives. On the other hand, if you go with a countertop or portable style of mini fridge, you can expect a shorter lifespan. (That often coincides with the smaller price tag.) Reports usually put them at one to two years before users start noticing changes in functionality.

The door opens from left to right and features adjustable feet to ensure the fridge stays sturdy and level wherever its placed. Plus, at 85W, with an E energy rating, this fridge won't take up too much energy - making it a great and economical choice for any home. This fridge makes a brilliant party piece when it comes to game nights, have Rangers on your side with this sports fan essential. Type: Compressor | Dimensions: 17.5 x 18.6 x 31.6 inches | Weight: 50.7 pounds | Capacity: 3.2 cubic feet | Freezer: Yes | Energy Star certified: Yes You might want to put a folded paper towel along the bottom of the interior to catch drips from the automatic defroster, and you'll need to store frozen goods elsewhere. But when all is said and done, this retro fridge will get the job done and help ensure that you have fresh items wherever you are. You can shop it in several unique colors to show off your personal style. When it comes to mini fridges, there are a few installation types you can choose from. The right one for you depends on where you're planning to install it, and whether that spot will be its permanent or temporary residence. There's a freestanding mini fridge, which can be installed in any spot in your home with the correct outlet and is the most traditional style of mini fridge. There's also a built-in mini fridge—otherwise known as an "under-counter fridge"—which should seamlessly blend in with your kitchen cabinets or integrate with your kitchen island layout.The fridge's door also features a can dispenser. However, it doesn't take over the entire door and is designed with angled slots for easily grabbing a soda or seltzer. The door is also reversible, meaning you can install the hinges to open the door to the left or right. If you're installing this mini fridge in a dorm room or tight space where you don't know the layout yet, this feature is very handy, because you can easily change the orientation as needed. An integrated door handle also makes this piece of the fridge more space-conscious, while a freestanding design gives it added flexibility. We see this cute mini fridge as a smart choice for travel because it comes with both AC and DC cords, giving you the option to conveniently plug it into a car cigarette lighter for cooling capabilities when you're on the go. The increase in size means you and your roadtrip buddy or commuting partner can share the space, too. We just wish the handle had been included with this model, but we are willing to forgo it for the other conveniences offered. We researched dozens of mini fridges, from the traditional, one-door mini fridge to the retro, countertop model that took over TikTok, evaluating capacity, reliability, efficiency, and value. Notably, as with similar cooling fridge models, the fridge's effectiveness can be affected by the external temperature around it, and you can expect it to reach 32 to 40 degrees cooler, so take extra caution on those hot days if you have perishables inside. For day-to-day use, we think this model has lots to offer. The manual recommends giving room-temperature drinks about two to three hours to completely chill after you've added them in. (To speed up this process, you can always pre-chill your items before popping them into the interior.) However, this detail shouldn't be worrisome. It's no indication that the fridge is not functional. In fact, the fridge keeps your items chilled without creating lots of noise or using a ton of energy. It has a frost-free design that also makes it ideal for installing in a basement bar, office, boat, nursery, or dorm room.
