There are a wide range and size of mini fridges available, ranging from smaller portable models through to dedicated drinks fridges.

This mini fridge is surprisingly portable despite being able to stash up to 27 cans, five bottles of wine, or an equivalent amount of non-alcohol stuff, if that’s your thing. Between the two smaller portable coolers here, we would choose the cheaper Subcool Ultra 6 as it has the space and power flexibility that you need in a smaller cooler. This mini fridge is small but perfectly formed with a retro American design. It’s specially designed for drinks rather than food – you can chill six cans to five degrees celsius. And it’s ideal for storing milk for teas and coffees.

It possibly would not be a complete small kitchen appliance review without Russell Hobbs featuring somewhere, so it’s not a surprise to see this fridge positioned as one of the bestselling products in the mini fridge category. It wins extra points for portability too, with a carry handle and an adapter to charge it using a 12v cigarette lighter in your car. One thing to bear in mind: it’s not suitable for perishable food or medicines - you’ll need to spend a little bit more for that (see further down our list, if that’s what you need). Key specs Another portable or light use mini fridge, the iceQ’s price puts it head-to-head with larger capacity cool boxes. However, for those not requiring more space, then the iceQ works well as a chiller for leisure or home use. Some mini fridges are portable too so you can take them on long car journeys and on camping trips. What is the best mini fridge to buy? A very important one. If you want a dedicated drinks fridge or countertop fridge then look at models between 40 and 50 litres capacity. For a mini fridge cooler, 5 litres is probably the minimum you would want to consider.I bought the Coca Cola one on offer. It'll go in my son’s game room as I don't want him to have one in his bedroom. It really is very mini and holds 4 cans" - FelicityFlamingo The iceQ includes a small viewing window in the door but we are not 100% sure what use this serves due to the size, but it does make the overall appearance of this fridge more modern. As this is intended to be a portable fridge it includes a carrying handle as well as the option to run on mains or 12v power. As with the Subcool Ultra 6, this is more of a chiller and can cool up to 20 degrees below ambient temperature and can also be used as a drink and food warmer. If you’re looking for a mini fridge, it goes without saying that you’ll want something compact – just make sure it’s big enough for what you need! If you think you might need extra features like an ice box, it’s worth exploring mini fridges at the larger end of the scale. These bigger models tend to have more options for shelves and storage compartments too.
