8 Best Mini Fridges for Small Rooms
Best for Beverages
Never go thirsty again with the Euhomy beverage refrigerator and cooler at your disposal. Whether you're cramming for finals or are in the midst of a fantasy football draft, simply reach into this stainless steel mini-fridge and pull out a cold one. Adjustable shelves hold 120 cans upright or on their sides. The three-layer glass door provides thermal insulation to keep soda or beer from going flat.
Best Value
For no-frills refrigeration in dorms and man caves, the Supernon Galanz 1.7 cu. ft. compact refrigerator fills the bill. Jet black outside, it comes with a wire shelf, a place for a two-liter bottle and a half-width freezer compartment. Bonus points for the adjustable door that opens from either side. As one reviewer gushed, "Cute little fridge: not too big or too small and can fit just about anywhere."
Best Splurge
Impress your dormmates with the style and panache of the Galanz mini-fridge with dual doors. Pricey at just under $500, the 1950s-inspired, free-standing mini-fridge is slim to fit into narrow niches, yet offers 4.6 cu. ft. of refrigerated storage capacity. It has a removable glass shelf, a see-through salad drawer, door compartments and a freezer. Well worth the investment, it also makes an outstanding first-apartment fridge.
Best Decorative
Showing up at school with the Marshall 3.2 medium-capacity fridge is sure to solidify your place among the seriously cool kids. It's built with authentic Marshall Amp parts and stamped with bona fide Marshall logos. Realistic details like fret cloth, knobs, brass-finished faceplate and branded glass shelving add up to some rock-star refrigeration. It also comes in a high-capacity size, perfect for a home pub or clubhouse.
Best Flexible Storage
What the Cooluli mini-fridge electric cooler and warmer lacks in size it makes up for in versatility. At a featherweight four pounds, this tabletop unit is a champ at keeping snacks, drinks, skincare products and medicines cold. Flip a switch and it doubles as a warmer to heat everything from hot chocolate to leftover pizza. Power up anywhere using the AC, DC and USB cords (included).
Best for Wine
Be the talk of your wine club with the Antarctic Star wine cooler. Store and age wine like a pro (sans the wine cellar) in this mini-fridge that can be tucked neatly under a bar or placed against a wall. It holds 36 bottles of your favorite vintages quietly and vibration-free, so it won't disturb sediments.
Best Portable
Feed your wanderlust (and your travel companions) when you pack the Koolatron 18-quart thermoelectric cooler for the road. Designed to fit between bucket seats, the iceless, lightweight cooler plugs into any vehicle's 12-volt outlet. It cools snacks and holds up to 23 12-ounce cans in its eight-quart capacity. Grab the flip-up handle and take the mini-fridge along to a bonfire on the beach, a picnic or a music festival.
Bonus: Best Freezer
Stocking up on groceries in bulk can save tons of time and money. But what if your kitchen freezer space is limited? The KUPPET upright mini-freezer is a vertical, free-standing unit you can keep in your basement or pantry. A perfect overflow storage solution, the freezer is lined with a food-grade material so it's even safe for storing breast milk.
