Refrigerators FAQs
Which mini fridges in this collection have a freezer section?
The 1.7 cu. ft. Mini Fridge with Freezer (White or Black) has a small freezer compartment. The 3.5 cu. ft. Mini Refrigerator (Black or Stainless Look) includes a freezer section, and the 4.4 cu. ft. Compact Mini Refrigerator has a full-width freezer/chiller. The Retro minis and the 1.7 cu. ft. Freezerless models are all-refrigerator, which gives you more room for fresh food and drinks.
What size compact refrigerator is right for a dorm, office or bedroom?
For a desk or under-counter spot, the 1.6 cu. ft. Retro and 1.7 cu. ft. mini fridges are the most compact. If you want space for groceries and drinks, go for the 3.2 cu. ft. Retro, the 3.5 cu. ft. or the 4.4 cu. ft. models. Measure your space and compare it to the dimensions on each product page, leaving room for air to circulate.
Are any of these mini fridges Energy Star certified?
Yes. The product listings show Energy Star for the 1.6 cu. ft. and 3.2 cu. ft. Retro Mini Refrigerators and the 1.7 cu. ft. Freezerless Mini Fridges in Black and Stainless Steel. Energy Star is not noted for every model, so check the specifications on the product page of the fridge you are considering.
What features do the Retro Mini Refrigerators offer?
The 17.5 in. Retro minis come in White, Black, Red and Mint Green. The 1.6 cu. ft. models have an adjustable glass shelf and LED lighting. The 3.2 cu. ft. models step up to three glass shelves, LED lights and a built-in can dispenser. Both sizes are freezerless and Energy Star certified, and they pair well with the Retro microwaves and beverage coolers.
Do these compact refrigerators need to be defrosted?
Some do. The 3.5 cu. ft. Mini Refrigerators with Freezer Section are listed as manual defrost, so you will want to defrost them when frost builds up in the freezer area. For other models, see the product page and user manual for the defrost method and care steps. Several models also feature reversible doors and adjustable temperature controls for easy setup.
