A mini refrigerator has many advantages and can be very useful as a compact living space for people. When we talk about the types available on the market, there are also various products. We hope our mini refrigerator buying guide can solve all your common questions as we guide you through the basic classification.

Mini refrigerator size

The size of a compact refrigerator is very important. Products that will be stored in a specific location (such as under a previously purchased cabinet or table) need to have a specific size. To find the perfect size mini refrigerator, customers need to measure the use area of the compact refrigerator, and then find a product with a smaller size to ensure that it fits.

Cube mini refrigerator
These compact refrigerators are larger than portable refrigerators. They are easy to move, and their size makes them resemble cubes. They consume more power than portable mini refrigerators, and you can store more food in them. However, you cannot freeze anything in a model without a built-in freezer. They are dedicated to compressor and absorption technology and are ideal for camping.

Medium mini refrigerator
They are smaller than under-counter refrigerators, but larger than portable and cube variants. They have a capacity of about 3 cubic feet and consume slightly more electricity. They have separate compartments and refrigerators. You can store all types of items here. 

Under the counter home hotel refrigerator
Mainly used to store drinks, it is the best choice for people who have a bar at home. Some of them are used to store coolers, while others can also be used to store wine. Some variants can also store all types of drinks. Buy a refrigerator that can meet all your needs. 

Freezer performance
If food can't be kept frozen, then filling a full-width refrigerator with groceries is meaningless. Therefore, it is important to consider the function of the freezer. As we all know, the freezer of a compact refrigerator with only one door cannot freeze food properly because the temperature is too low or the cold air is lost when the refrigerator door is opened. Putting a thermometer in the refrigerator and a separate thermometer in the freezer are a good way to check the working condition of the freezer.

Your budget
As one of the most important features of any refrigerator you buy, your budget is a very important consideration. As always, you never want to overspend, but it's also worth making sure that you don't sacrifice quality or functionality by choosing a cheaper option.

If you are looking for a small beverage cooler refrigerator, we believe you can find something under £80 (US$110). But for a better quality refrigerator, you will need to spend more than 100 pounds (130 US dollars), and if you have a lot of boxes to tick, the price will be higher. Given the price range, a mini refrigerator can also be a good gift, especially for beer lovers.

But also keep in mind that energy efficiency affects costs-so it is certainly worth it to ensure that your refrigerator is energy efficient (for the planet and your wallet).
