I'm basically just looking to see what mini fridges people have because in a lot of the reviews I read they either be breaking down or are just dog doodoo. Just want one that's reliable and will my terp nice and crisp

there's thousands. I doubt they've been reviewed.

12V fridges tend to be surprisingly pricey. If you want the best, I'd recommend Dometic fridges. They're expensive, but they're guaranteed to keep the beers cold.

We use an Alpicool 12v and think it's very good

100w usb could do it i guess. Alpicool about 70 watts when running compressor and 2 watts idle.

See some guys running them with drill/powertools batteries for around 8 hours too

Ideally get a solar panel and battery of at least 100ah

For me a cooler box (cheapest one) has worked fine through winter and until now. I keep it enclosed away from my diesel heater. It's only an issue over 20°C but we rarely see that in the UK. I've kept all types of food up to a week works fine. Get some IKEA bags with the double seal on top for anything that's open and works well.

Just a quick note about power consumption - fridges are about heat flow in the same way that heaters are. They take a fair bit of power to run, so charging off a USB power bank is not likely to be realistic. You might find something which kind of cools stuff by a few degrees, but if you want a true fridge then you'll need a proper power source.

I have never found a mini fridge with a freezer that was usable for more than just ice. The temperature is so unstable in the freezer portion that any foods get freezer burn very quickly or things like ice cream simply do not stay frozen at all.

There are 2-door, small refrigerator/freezer combination units that are bigger than a mini-fridge but much smaller than a full-sized refrigerator. Looks like they are around 6-7 cu ft and $350 US.

I have never used one of those, so I can’t recommend a particular product. But if that wise works for you, read all the reviews you can. And maybe come back here with a particular product choice and see if anyone has used it.

My college dorm mini fridge had a “freezer” that would become a solid block of ice over the course of a semester. It would keep my pizza rolls cold enough to keep them food-safe, but it might also envelop them completely with ice. Made me earn those pizza rolls when I wanted to eat them…

Not sure about their longevity, but maybe something marketed for vanlife? Some have features to change compartment size.. Adjustable to freezer temps.They have adapters to run on house current.

I would consider one myself, along with batteries, for the next power outage.

Not in the US so can't help on brand. But I've had a store 'essentials' one for over a decade in my own room and it's amazing! And clean! And full of MY food. And has never given me issues.

Honestly, if you can't get a separate mini fridge and small chest freezer or can't get a small full-sized fridge, it's probably best to just never plan to have more than ~5 days of food in there at once, with the understanding that it's defrosted the whole time. No matter which minifridge you get, those tiny freezer compartments quickly fill up with frost and become useless. You'll likely want and use a chest freezer at your new place anyways because they rock.

Source: My husband and I lived with only a mini fridge with tiny freezer compartment for 5 straight years and lived like this. Managed to find a space for a chest freezer and it changed the whole game for us.

Our house has a small Liebherr (German company) which I think is pretty great. Currently out of town, so not sure what the exact model is. I believe it is a Comfort TP1720.

Both Miele and Bosch make small fridges. They can be built in or freestanding. For example, the Miele K12010S-2 or the Bosch KTR18P20GB/03.

Anything with a Danfoss compressor inside will last forever decades.

Fujidenzo no contest. Yan gamit ng mga stores.

fujidenzo / carrier or condura only imho

I have the fujidenzo one and I can definitely recommend it. Spacious, malakas magpalamig at matibay. Nabaha yung akin kasi di ko naitaas, hinugasan lang okay na.

Min-Medium cool nakadagdag yata sya 300 per month pataas.

fujidenzo - i have the same ref for 3 years wala akong naging problem

I recommend searching for a second-hand mini fridge.

I'm sitting 2 feet away from a decent size Kenmore that I purchased for $30 at an estate sale. It was manufactured probably 10 years ago and works perfectly. It won't last forever, but I expect another 5+ years out of it.

Sorry off topic to start.

This just made me realize some of the futility of this sub. If you have something that has lasted 25 years the chances are very high that the model is discontinued or the quality has been reduced since you bought it.

That said, as I write this I am in my office looking at my GE bar fridge. Didn't even really think about it, but I bought it in about '99. Only drawback is it's not self-defrosting, so every other year or so I have to defrost it. (I don't use the freezer compartment anyway) But simplicity helps with reliability.

Gay as fuck. I bet woman hate ur ass

Redbull? 🤣

there is no popular one but most people go with the 3ft tall models, mostly with the small separate freezer part. a lot of rooms don’t even have fridges and no one will care what brand yours is

consider getting one used off facebook market place or something too, you don’t need a brand new one

This one is the most popular by far: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dr-Pepper-Portable-6-can-Mini-Fridge-MIS135DRP-Burgundy/457972528

But other people have 1.6/1.7 ft^3 fridges.

The one I bought from the class page for 20 bucks.

Dometic makes some models in the USA. You will have to do a bit of digging to find out which specific models.

Norcold is another RV fridge manufacturer that seems to be made in USA.
