Collection: Back 2 Campus

Which mini fridge in this collection is best for a dorm room?

For the smallest spaces, the 1.7 cu. ft. Mini Fridge in black or stainless (MCAR170BE / MCAR170STE) is a freezerless, ENERGY STAR rated fridge with a wire shelf, adjustable temperature and a reversible door. If you need more room, the 3.2 cu. ft. Retro Mini Refrigerator (MCR32CHM) adds three glass shelves, a can dispenser and LED lighting. Check your school’s appliance rules and each product page for dimensions.

What size and wattage microwave should I get for a dorm?

This collection runs from 0.7 cu. ft. to 1.1 cu. ft. The 0.7 cu. ft. models, including the 700W digital and retro styles, have the smallest footprint. The 0.9 cu. ft. models run at 900W with 11 power levels. The 1.1 cu. ft. models run at 1,000W and fit a full-size dinner plate. Many schools limit appliance wattage, so check your housing rules first.

Can the microwave with air fryer replace a separate air fryer in my room?

The 1.0 cu. ft. Microwave with Air Fryer (MC110AMST) can microwave, air fry, bake by convection and grill, and it also has a combo mode. It has 10 air fry presets for foods like fries, wings and nuggets, and it comes with an air frying rack, a crisper tray and a grill rack. It’s a good space saver if your room only has space for one countertop appliance.

What makes the retro microwaves different from the digital models?

The 0.7 cu. ft. Retro Countertop Microwaves come in black, mint, red and white and use push buttons with a knob instead of a flat touch panel. They offer 10 power levels, 9 auto-cook menus including popcorn, pizza and soup, ECO mode, a mute feature and a child safety lock. The 700W digital models use a touch pad with 6 quick-set buttons.

Do these mini fridges have a freezer for ice cream or frozen meals?

The fridges in this collection are all-refrigerator designs. The 1.7 cu. ft. MCAR170 models and the 3.2 cu. ft. Retro Mini Refrigerator have no freezer compartment, so they’re best for drinks, snacks and leftovers. If you need to keep frozen items, look for a Magic Chef compact model with a freezer section, such as the 3.5 cu. ft. mini fridge.
