If you find when you do your weekly shop that your refrigerator is stuffed with food and drink then it may be time to consider a little extra storage space. An ideal solution is to get a mini refrigerator or bar fridge. An additional refrigerator need not take up much space, can be cheap to run and buy, and it is easy to find a wide range of compact mini fridges on the internet from many reputable manufacturers that can suit any requirement whilst being relatively inexpensive.
Most mini refrigerators are relatively small allowing for placement on a table top, under a desk or in an unobtrusive corner of your property. You’ll find that mini compact refrigerators are usually sized in cubic feet with 1.7 cu ft being at the smaller end and 3.7 cu ft being at the larger end. Compare this to a standard under counter refrigerator size of circa 5 cu ft and you can picture the general size of a compact mini refrigerator.
The smallest models will generally either not have any freezer or if they do, it will only be large enough for a ice tray. All size models tend to have door storage for standard 2l bottles with the larger model ranges often having additional door can dispensers, freezer boxes and generally two interior shelves rather than a single shelf found on most smaller compacts.
The real beauty of mini refrigerators is their portability, they are generally about 30-50kg in weight depending on how large you go and being relatively small are quite easy to reposition and manoeuvre to any spot around the house. This portability means they can be of extra use if the kids go off to college and need some cold storage, or if from time to time you need a cold store for drinks at work. You can often fit a portable mini refrigerator under or on a desk and if you look out for an energy star mini fridge, they can also be cheap to run.
You can expect to pay from $70 through to $200 on a mini refrigerator dependant on size and brand. Most brands compete on price in relation to size but you should be aware that Sanyo mini refrigerators tend to be priced on brand value. Haier mini refrigerators, Magic Chef, and Danby have wide ranges of sizes available in many colors all competitively priced with one another based on size. All these manufacturers are reputable and well established meaning you should be able to get a durable long lasting mini compact fridge for as little as $70.
