Compact Refrigerator FAQs
Do these retro mini refrigerators have a freezer?
No. The 1.6 cu. ft. (MCR16CHM) and 3.2 cu. ft. (MCR32CHM) Retro Mini Refrigerators are all-refrigerator designs with no freezer compartment. All of the space goes to fresh food and drinks, which is great for snacks, beverages and leftovers. If you need to keep frozen items, look at a compact model with a freezer section instead.
What is the difference between the 1.6 and 3.2 cu. ft. retro mini fridges?
Both are listed at 17.5 in. wide and share the retro mint green look, interior LED light, in-door storage racks and adjustable temperature control. The 1.6 cu. ft. model has one adjustable glass shelf. The 3.2 cu. ft. model doubles the space, adds three adjustable glass shelves and has a can dispenser in the door. Check each product page for height and depth.
Are the retro mini refrigerators energy efficient?
Yes. Both the 1.6 cu. ft. and 3.2 cu. ft. Retro Mini Refrigerators are listed as ENERGY STAR certified, so they are built to use less energy than standard models. That makes them a good fit for a bedroom, office or den where the fridge runs all day.
Can I control the temperature in these compact fridges?
Yes. Both retro mini fridges have adjustable temperature control, so you can set them colder for drinks or a little warmer for produce and snacks. The listings don't give an exact temperature range, so check the specifications on the product page if you need a specific setting.
Which retro mini fridge works best for canned drinks?
The 3.2 cu. ft. Retro Mini Refrigerator (MCR32CHM) is the better choice for drinks. It has a can dispenser in the door racks, plus three adjustable glass shelves for bottles and food. The 1.6 cu. ft. model still has in-door storage racks, but its smaller size suits lighter use, such as a desk or bedside fridge.
