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. 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.

If you're purchasing a mini fridge to expand your drink storage, opt for one that's designed for beverages and full of helpful features: the Titan SS-FRBW6420DZ Signature French Door Beverage and Wine Cooler. It has adjustable, sliding shelves, as well as two cooling zones for storing wine, beer, and soda at their ideal temperature. A door alarm will notify you when one of the French doors has been left open, so the 20-bottle, 64-can interior remains stable. 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. A reversible door can make your mini fridge more accessible and flexible to install in your space. This feature means you can access your fridge by opening the door to the left or right. You'll usually need to switch the hinges by attaching them with screws, which already have designated holes added by the manufacturer. This feature is most suitable for those installing a fridge in a tight location, like the corner of a garage or a dorm room.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. 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. It can be used with a standard electrical plug, and it comes with a car adapter, and it's USB-compatible, making it a great choice for travel. Buyers also report that it's quiet enough to use at work, too, although some note issues with using it long-term, such as temperature fluctuations and water collecting inside. The Pro 6L Premium has an advanced thermoelectric cooling system to cool up to 18°C below the ambient temperature. This mini fridge is excellent for the office, holiday home, bedroom or motorcar. It's also eminent for camping and road trips! With a 6L capacity, you can fit up to 8 cans and have the uttermost convenience.

When you open the door, you'll get a better glimpse at the adjustable shelves. The three shelves are made of glass, meaning any spills will be contained, and small items will stay put. An interior light also illuminates the inside, which is convenient if you're hosting a gathering at night. Plus, you don't need to roll up your sleeves and manually defrost the fridge whenever there's frost buildup, because the unit automatically does this task. 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. 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.

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.
