Review Frigidaire MINI Fridge Retro Look HOW COLD DOES IT GET?

[@Gamerchick221]

Just got this for Christmas. Mine is red and I love it. 😊

[@1810watson]

My mom just purchased this item from QVC and arrived last Friday. She loves it! She has her bottle water in there.

[@JustADad]

She will love it!

@@1810watson So glad to hear that!

What I have noticed after a few days use that it's better to take already cold drinks out of a regular fridge to put in this. I noticed it will keep cans already cold from a regular fridge just as cold as first put in even after 24 hours. I suppose it's of course due to no heat getting in and the cold being trapped inside the small space of course. I noticed it doesn't really get as cold with room temperature drinks going straight into the mini fridge. I have left them in there for over 24 hours and it's a slightly cold touch on cans. It's definitely less cold then using cans already cold from a regular fridge. For me it seems best to keep drinks in the regular fridge downstairs and move them up to this mini fridge as needed. Basically a 12 pack of coke means six in mini fridge while other six in regular fridge until mini fridge needs restocked. I'll probably be using it for energy drinks mostly though but same thing so yeah I think it will work. The only complaint is the buzzing sound from the fan. I can handle the blowing noise but the slight buzz is annoying.

I normally keep my house at 68 degrees and, what do you know, the mini fridge stays consistently at 40 the few times ive checked. I would like just a tad cooler but am happy with what I get. Not exactly icy cold but cold enough. I certainly dont want to risk cans freezing/exploding either. I got the mint colored one and am quite happy with my purchase.

[@JustADad]

Great! I like that color too!

[@leeb.7188]

I have one for my office. It’s a bit small to hold my lunch and water bottles. I wish it were bigger but overall I’m happy with it. It’s useful and didn’t cost all that much.

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

Thank you so much for this helpful review. I had some Best buy reward dollars and I just ordered this in retro pink to keep by the side of my bed.

[@Bmcd3565]

I have one of these and mine is black and was gifted this today for Christmas actually kinda nice

[@michaellodge5456]

I got one for Christmas it's working good so far. I have the 9 can model

[@culdud999]

got a black one for my birthday love this review

[@samus4799]

Good for keeping condiments at my desk at work.

[@monarch3495]

Thank you sir, the instructions wouldn’t tell me how long I needed to wait to put stuff in

[@JustADad]

Glad it helped

Funny, I just had my son on Friday morning, and I'm sitting here in the couch with him and Just a Dad pops up on my phone. KZbin is following me!

[@TechVHD]

Wow

[@PinkLaptop]

Congrats

[@Givadared21]

My dad left me

[@stripeybeast]

Just curious, how did you get 34-38 degrees as an estimate when it cools 20-28 below ambient? Most optimistic estimate (using max differential and minimum ambient temp you stated) is 70-28 = 42.

[@toohip]

This. I almost had an aneurysm with that math.

[@jjwalker2011]

Math ain't mathing.

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

Grabbed one for a small add on gift for my son’s birthday. Seems like a good value,

[@mariegrant5457]

Just got mines😊❤️

[@RS-lo2zj]

if you want it cooler u can get some ice cubes and put some salt on it and put it on the rack, it might help with cooling it!

[@daisymae3717]

This was pretty helpful, I’m about to have my first baby and I was thinking of having one of these by my bed to store breast milk overnight but I guess that wouldn’t be a good idea. Maybe there are others that are more powerful but they all look similar.

[@juliagutierrez8698]

Does this stay plug into the outlet the entire time like a real size refrigerator? Or do I plug it in when I need it? Or do it leave plus in always but flip the switch on the back to on when I need it? If I flip the switch to on after it was off would it take hours to reach its full capacity?

[@allisonmcdonough1]

stupid question, can I put yogurt or protein shakes in there?

[@cindy7733]

no way. just for drinks.

[@doe9de995]

I'd say 40s is pretty normal for any refrigerator. Any colder and your fridge will turn into a freezer.

[@bakachan3601]

Exactly 32 is freezing The Sweet spot for refrigerators is 40 or less ^^ So like any other time of year except scorching summer if you keep that little thing in an unheated room in your house it will work fine as a normal fridge it might accidentally freeze things XD

[@gcanyon3114]

Not normal. Most refrigerant fridges will easily get to 35, which is much better.

[@doe9de995]

@gcanyon3114 Well, regardless, 40 is certainly cold, and while not great, we it works.

[@kristaldriver]

I just bought one I love mine

[@GcjBoo]

Is it noisy?

[@zzddzzzz]

@@GcjBoo I asked the same thing! She ain't no good!

[@monicaoviedo6440]

Hi! Thanks for your review. Is it a difference between the cooler and the cooler+refrigerator? Options are given in your Amazon link and I was wondering if there is a technical difference or if it is just color 🥹

[@JustMyOpinion-w9f]

Is it safe to put a small containers of ice in it?

[@mariemqueen]

Is the fan supposed to constantly run? I just got mine. I keep it in my office and the fan gets annoying.

[@kyledupont7711]

It's the compressor and yes it's not like a normal fridge that has to kick on and off, it has a weak compressor that runs the entire time

[@KingHarlequin1999]

@@kyledupont7711 This thing doesn't even have a compressor. It is just a glorified peltier device.

[@kyledupont7711]

@@KingHarlequin1999 it has a compressor it's nothing like a real fridge though, it runs 24 hrs a day never kicks off, a tiny amount of heat comes out the back. The more stuff you put in it the colder it gets

[@KingHarlequin1999]

@@kyledupont7711 It is 100% thermoelectric/peltier based. If it was compressor based, it would had a refrigerant written on the label. I also tore down one of these, and it didn't have any compressor, but instead a peltier module with large heatsink and computer for the hot side, and an solid aluminum block on the cold side, attached to the inner wall of the fridge; and styrofoam insulator.

[@Abe-JPG]

Can you keep milk in here? I wanted to use it for iced coffee!

[@SailorChristian]

I work at a small library in a university which actually gets really cold sometimes. We don't have a microwave or a frigde in the lunch area so I been looking at a small frigde for myself in my library, with the cold temperature in the library will this get cold enough to keep my drinks cold all day? Could it end up freezing? Can I leave it turn on always?

[@kool3884]

Thank you!

[@JustADad]

You're welcome!

[@theszofamily4600]

Can you leave this plugged in like a fridge?

[@happ-emaniac8149]

That's what I'm wondering too

[@rgruenhaus]

Only a few monster drinks at 16oz would fit standing up. Better than a bucket of ice! You would have to have the vehicle running or it could kill the car battery!

[@JustADad]

Good point

[@madelinehernandez7508]

Thank you!! How long it keep the cool when you disconnect it?

[@AMDRADEONRUBY]

Not long enough...

[@josephbennett3482]

They have to stay plugged in and turned on at all times to stay cold , as soon as it is off it warms up quickly.

[@mirnagisselle]

could I possibly use this at school to keep my lunch cool? will it keep my food fresh?

[@JustADad]

No not really

[@belencasale8947]

I was wondering the same thing! I'm vegetarian so I don't eat meat and I was thinking if it gets to 40 degrees, why not keep my veggie lunch box cold?

[@kimblywalker9376]

I just realized one day that mine wasn’t getting cold at all… the green light is on, but the inside is room temperature 😢

[@cindy7733]

yeah. mine is horrible. not keeping anything cool at all. i wonder if it's defective?

is it metal or plastic?

Same.

[@GoldGrillzxD]

Mine started blinking a green light and beeping. No longer cooling at all. :(

It's the capacitor

[@dt4676]

Mine is cooling 3 degrees under room temp after 4 hours. Not thrilled.

[@cindy7733]

yeah mine isn't really cooling down much either. i think we were scammed. :(

[@alainabeauloye7652]

mine did not come with any cords

ughh. i just bought one in hopes that it would keep beverages cold in my very hot bedroom. :( not what i needed.

How loud is the HUM?

[@Kirby7601]

buy this to accommodate with your fallout themed room

[@tianjing3412]

Does it drain your car battery and make your car can't start?

My mom bought one of these and it isn't turning on

[@dd___dc]

There is a on and off switch the light should turn on a solid green

[@adrian_zombturtle148]

Mine hold 9 cans, hahahahaha I have 50% more power than you

[@Stoners.Lounge]

Do you think it gets cold enough to store breast milk over night?

[@gcanyon3114]

Weak cooling. Just get a proper refrigerant based fridge.

[@-Gunnarsson-]

Can you store lithium cells in it?😂

[@ryelor123]

Ah, the Peltier-Seebeck thermoelectric device. Ultra inefficient and used to spread Moscow's propaganda in the early days of the Soviet Union. Nice but a mini fridge is more efficient. It may use more power when running but it doesn't have to run anywhere near as long. Thermoelectric units are really only good for Kickstarter scams.

[@AMDRADEONRUBY]

Just a little useless chinese gadget... Made poorly and cheap..... 1.7 cu feet mini fridge are a bit pricier but way better.

[@lenajackson5448]

true, they break down quickly. Peltier beats compressors for convenience and light weight in small cooling spaces, though. My Wagan has lasted a year so far but the equipment is on top, so water does get in. I don't care since I just keep capped drinks in it. Paper towels in the bottom.

[@12vLife]

would you dare store almond milk and cream cheese in a florida Van?
