Love this little fridge! Very quiet and efficient. Bought it as my fridge freezer was starting to break down, and I needed a small fridge until I had enough money to buy an Integrated fridge freezer bought and fitted. It is now my wine fridge! Only thing I miss about it, is that it doesn’t have a light.
I bought this for the shed so hot summers days were cooled by having the drinks on hand , as we live in an upstairs flat this saves a lot of hassle. The fridge was easily installed , simply leave to stand so gasses settle – for 5 hours, and plug it in. it works a treat. Im really happy with this purchase.
Had mine for a couple of months now and it is brilliant. I use it under my desk so that I can keep drinks/snacks cool now I’m working from home and it is great. Not much to say other than the small freezer(ice cube section) needs to be max before it will freeze the water. Would recommend this!
This is a great size for a small office of 5-10 people. It sits on the table top and easily holds 2-4 pints of milk and packed lunches for 7 people. Looks great and goes with our other electrical kitchen stuff.
Unfortunately I had to send this fridge back as it had been dropped by the delivery people. I did however get to try it out before it went back. For such a small fridge it really does pack a fair bit of shopping and it’s not noisy at all. I bought it for my Son as he is off to Uni this year. What I really liked was the small freezer in the top right corner. Big enough to fit fish fingers burgers etc and to fill the little ice cube tray that comes with it. It’s lightweight enough to carry but doesn’t come with any kind of handle like the last mini fridge I had. I will definitely be buying the same one to replace this dropped one.

I ordered this after reading other reviews. With the high rating it received I went ahead and ordered.
Glad I did as as described in description with more room than I thought it would have. Added bonus with a little freezer compartment as well!! As it’s in my office it’s very quiet which helps alot.
Happy custome
This was just what we needed in the current heatwave. Ours is simply being used as a drinks cooler. Fortunately we are able to put it in our storage room as, like many other reviewers, it arrived damaged. There is a dent in the bottom right hand side of the door. Not noticeable damage on the packaging so it must have been packaged in that condition. The fridge is quiet.
This is a very good little fridge. The pumps Were quite noisy for the first 48 hours, but once the fridge reached its temperature and settled the sound has reduced to almost silent running. It easily holds a full 24 can case of 330ml cans, and chills them to ice cold, even on a low, level 2 setting. The freezer compartment is very small however and is really only big enough to hold 4 magnum ice creams.
The paint is great and the door is reversible for left/right hand opening which is simple enough to change to whichever side toy need.
It holds allot, I live alone and it holds everything I need it too. Including 8pts of milk, vegetables and meats and even a 6pk of cola cans. The shelves are small but it’s like a mini tardis. You can change the brackets on the door to have it open either side.
Great value for the money and very happy with it.

Useful little fridge.which keeps its cool well, but freezer compartment neither use nor ornament: space would be better used as fridge space, as it doesn’t keep stuff frozen. However, the fridge is surprisingly roomy, and the doorspace takes a couple of big bottles, such as wine or cordial.
Bought it for a bedroom. The size is perfect for my needs, it fits many items. Depending on the temperature setting it makes more or less noise, and it will heat up quite a bit. I usually keep mine between level 2 and 3, but with hotter days I put it to the maximum in order to keep some ice cream in the little freezer compartment. Unfortunately it did not work, beside making a lot of ice.
One thing I don’t like is it has a strange sound from time to time at night.
There’s not much to go into raptures about over a small refrigerator – rather like passing an opinion on dog droppings. However for all that, this little chiller does fill the bill by virtue of it doing its job in a quiet negative way. It is dead silent, unobtrusive and has a low key black smartness. It works, and, after the short period it has been in our kitchen, there has been no cause to complain about its ability to drop the temperature within its interior to desired depths. Good value for the price.
Just ordered this little fridge but it is very handy so far, seems well made. Delivered in one piece without any scratches. Followed the instructions to wait a few hours before switching on. Noticed it is noisier on uneven parts of the floor so needed to adjust accordingly. It is not silent, but we have it in the kitchen so this is less important for us. Pleased with it so far.
The fridge appears to be working well and the noise level is absolutely fine. I have it in my office as a replacement for one that did not control the temperature which was crucial. It holds a 4L container of milk in the door and has plenty of room for other products. So far very happy.
I was just about to write my fridge is in the same room as me and is silent but it has decided to kick in with a low volume hum. When I was reading these reviews and was wondering whether to purchase the fridge I was worried about the noise level (mine is now silent again) but went ahead with the purchase because this fridge seemed the best option for the price. Now I have it I have to say it is a life saver and I am so pleased I decided to get it. The fridge fits in a bag and a half to two bags of food shopping plus the door has space for 2 pint bottles of milk – maybe even large ones. The fridge keeps all the food and drinks nicely chilled. When the fridge arrived I rested it to let the coolant settle as adviced on the enclosed leaflet and in the other reviews. Very happy with this fridge but those you with a larger budget should research the humming sound first, is it a thing with fridges in this price point or just a general fridge thing?

Bought so that my son could guard his food from fellow students who were nicking his supplies from their communal fridge. Kept in his room, it is a perfect size both for the counter-top and storage space. Excellent solution to an expensive (and embarrassing) problem. Cool!
Excellent for teenagers going to Uni or to board at 6th form. Enough space for food and milk but comfortably fits under a desk top in a room. Noise level is minimum – you don’t even notice it’s there. Very stylish, also!
Easily fit 10 bottles into the unit with milk for a brew in the morning.
Quite running even with the compressor running. If your a light sleeper you may have an issue .
One problem I found , changing the hinge for the door, not as easy as it looks and takes a lot of messing around to get it to seal again.
The is a small freezer box inside about the size of a small lunch box .

I recommend it to everyone who looking to buy a little fridge & freezer, this is a very nice item.
And if you very care about the noise or if you are the one who can not sleep with any little noise then do not put it in your bedroom.

This fridge is brilliant hardly notice it on the electric bill storage is brilliant the main reason why i got it is the small freezer compartment to power chill something like a can of diet coke or a beer in the summer the reason why im giving it 4 starts is because you gotta balance the fridge temp with the freezer compartment temp if you have it to cold the freezer compartment over freezes quickly then you gotta turn it of to defrost it have it to low so it doesnt over freeze then the fridge takes ages to chill items once you got the balance write its brilliant to customers who are wanting to by this i have put the tempretuare JUST below medium and that works very nicely
We purchased this to replace a small fridge of the same size that we had had for many years. This is fitted below a bar in our Garden Room to the rear of the house. So far it has performed satisfactorily. Noise level is much as before.
Not good for making ice cubes but fine for storing ice trays from a freezer.
Good value.
I’ve got this running on an inverter in my caravan and I wake up in the morning with power still from one 110ah leisure battery. 100w Solar panel charges the battery up enough for the next day. I may get away with running other items but caravan is still under construction! Ice box was frozen within about 2 hours although I was avoiding opening it so could have been much sooner. Super quite cant hear it unless I press my ear up against it at times or use my hand to feel the slight vibration all fridges make when running the compressor. Very impressed. Perfect for the bedroom too I’d imagine. Sized just enough to not have to leave the room for a while should one so choose to do so. Definetly fit a good amount of beer in this one
Really impressed with this fridge for the price. Was cold within 10 minutes of switching it on and it remains so. Plenty of room – freezer is tiny but I didn’t buy it for that, just the fridge. Freezer is probably only useful for ice cubes and they even provide a tray for that! Noise is nothing: I’m a bad sleeper and it certainly wouldn’t keep me awake. Overall, a great price for a great item that does the job I bought it for.
Really pleased with the fridge, whilst being a work top size unit, it is surprisingly spacious with a well designed interior and good shelves and door pockets. The fridge runs quietly and is hardly noticeable running. Temperature control seems very consistent and is capable of starting to freeze items if turned to max cooling. The only thing missing is an interior LED light and door switch to illuminate the interior but this is not a deal breaker. Great fridge for small spaces and good value. Love it 🙂
So far this fridge is serving me very well. I was in the market for a fridge efficient enough for my off-grid liveaboard, so buying this was a bit of a gamble for me, as there was little information about its energy consumption available.
For anyone in my position who wants to know about its consumption, here you are; It draws between 80-95 Watts when the compressor is running, which isn’t too often once the fridge has cooled down and if it’s fully stocked (maybe 2/3 times an hour for 5-10 minutes in these conditions)
I’ve seen a few complaints about noise, but I don’t find it that bad at all. If you focus, you’ll hear the slight hum of the compressor, which is a good bit quieter than your average kitchen fridge.
As for cooling, it’s not that rapid, but can get to a very nice low temperature if you give it time. Leave a slab of cans in it overnight and they’ll be lovely and cold for you the morning after.
Compact and stylist, I bought this fridge for keeping a few items chilled in my room because space was too limited to get a full size fridge. And am very happy to say it works well to keep my essientials cold. Only thing that I don’t understand is the compartment on the door has a moving bar so if you’re not carefull small bottles and jars can end up in the floor. Sweet chilli sauce on the carpet is myonly complaint but if you’re not too heavy handed then it works really well and I have no other complaints.
This mini fridge is fantastic. The people’s reviews talking about noise must live in a monk monastery, because the volume of it is minor. Yes there’s noise, however it isn’t substantial… It just sounds like a fridge.
Advice one – don’t have it in your bedroom or quiet rooms… It’s a fridge and fridges make noise.
Advice two – 1-6 on the temperature control confused me for some reason. I thought 1 was the coldest and 6 was the warmest. But it’s the other way around.
This small fridge has exceeded my expectations and I am happy to recommend it!

I like this fridge because it is small and easy to lift and move about. Also it runs silently and is far colder than my previous fridge. It is perfect for one person to put basics in and eat fresh food daily. It does not have an interior light but this does not detract from the fridge. The cooler part of the fridge only houses a small ice tray but is adequate. Overall I could recommend this fridge.
It can be lound when set to regulate at lower temps as the fan/fluid needs to be circulated more often. I would not recommend putting it near one’s bed as that can become annoying.
Other than the one noise issue (which you’d expect at this price range) I’d say this product is a 4 star product. Very good.

I know that fridges are delicate things, so after unpacking it and putting it in position, I left it for 3 DAYS before switching it on (not 3 hours – I’d always leave anything containing coolant for at least 24 hours).
I set the temperature at ‘3’ initially, so it didn’t have to work too hard, and left it for 5 DAYS empty of food, to sort itself out and stabilize the temperature etc. I have a fridge thermometer in there and it was down to 1 degree after 24 hours so I turned the dial down to ‘2’ and now it’s around 4 degrees.
Additionally should mention I put it on a solid floor, not carpet, and not a piece of furniture. It’s on vinyl/concrete, even though it’s not as easy to access. I live in a bedsit so the kitchen area is in my bedroom, and I’m a very light sleeper sensitive to noise, so I didn’t want to risk putting it on a worktop. If I didn’t have vinyl/concrete floors I’d put it on an uncarpeted area, on a slab of MDF, on an anti-vibration mat, and hope for the best. I’ve had noisy fridges in the past and if the floor isn’t solid the fridge components act like a Newton’s Cradle after that first burst of power wakes up the compressor again – maddening.
I would also recommend putting nothing on top of the fridge – I tried a lightweight tray and it made the fridge noisier, so keep it clear.
So after 5 days I put some chilled and frozen food in there – ie already cold stuff. Then I read the reviews on amazon, as I was curious about how long stuff lasts in the ice-box thing! Oh horror – I was expecting a puddle of smelly defrosted pea water the next day!
But no – thank goodness, 24 hours later my peas are still perfectly frozen in there and the fridge is quiet, even when it’s cycling, and just perfect really. I know it’s early days and it will get noisier and less efficient as it ices up, and will need defrosting every 3 months most likely.
ETA – Having left the fridge almost empty for a week or more, I did find the freezer iced up and the peas defrosted, also found the fridge was coming on every 2 mins for about 20 seconds a time. So it seems you need to keep this fridge full for it to be any good.

We’ve used this on our outings in silly hot weather and it’s been powered on whilst driving, both totally against what the manual states it should be used for. It’s been rock solid the whole time. Even in 40 C weather in its cupboard enclosure it’s kept our milk and bacon cold. Admittedly if you turn it up too high it overheats and cuts out, but that’s because it’s enclosed with no air flow in a hot van and we’ve accepted that. The condenser runs around the outside walls of the fridge for compactness so it’s not as efficient as one with an external radiator.
Yes, the ‘freezer’ compartment doesn’t keep things frozen, but it’s not really designed for that – it’s just a convenient bit of extra cold storage around the evaporator. It does make a noise when it cycles but even sleeping with it at our feet it’s not intrusive, just a tick, a hum when it’s going and a gentle gurgle when it goes off. Quite soothing really.
Even though it only uses 80w when it’s going the startup current surge requires us to use a 1000w inverter to get it going, keep this in mind if you plan to use one in your van.
Unfortunately, the fridge came with a dented corner and the door had difficulty shutting. Amazon and the seller were swift to deal with my problem and sent for a replacement which took a further two days to arrive.
The new fridge still had some dents but were barely noticeable, and it worked much quieter than the previous 45L i used. I can sleep with it in my room without noticing the noise and the fridge is nice and cold. When it starts up, you can hear it for about a minute before it stops again for about 10 mins. The only thing I feel cheated about is the pricing, as it fluctuates from 105 to 95 so try to grab it when it is 95. I got mine for 105

I can sleep with it in my room without noticing the noise and the fridge is nice and cold. When it starts up, you can hear it for about a minute before it stops again for about 10 mins. The only thing I feel cheated about is the pricing, as it fluctuates from 105 to 95 so try to grab it when it is 95. I got mine for 105

Bought for use as a bedroom fridge. Haven’t tried it out overnight yet to try noise level. Put water in ice tray and a bottle of water on shelf. Put it on no 2 setting and in 21/2 hrs. ice was well on way to frozen and fridge very cold. I presume when filled will be marginally warmer- will try out Easter weekend with stock in it and hope for 5 stars
Delighted with product. Purchased to use in bedroom. A little louder than previous smaller model purchased but not to the extent you would really notice it. Loved the fact you could change door opening side. My son is delighted to be able to store so many cold drinks without the need of having to come out of his room!!! He lives the ice box included too!
One of the four plastic stands at the bottom arrived broken, but we just used a bit a cardboard to replace it, so I’m honestly not too fussed. It works great. It’s in mine and my sisters bedroom, so it was a bit noisy at first but once we got used to it it’s barely noticeable. The freezer compartment does indeed freeze water, which I was a little sceptical about so I’m very pleased.
Bought this fridge to put in larder cupboard for cold drinks unfortunately you can only get one large bottle in upright unless you lay them down sideways which means they roll out when you open the door. And if your any thing near the freezer cabinet it freezes it. Could do without the freezer cabinet would have been more practical that way.

Am impressed. The ice box goes down to -8C and compartment 3-4C in 40mins. This is a proper steel chassis fridge so does have a proper motor & compressor but it is quiet. No interior light. Adj feet. Will take full 2L bottles upright. Reversible door which is vital. Full Russell Hobbs quality. Perfect for where l wanted it.
Excellent compact fridge, ideal while I move house and have to ensure suitable storage of insulin. It is big enough inside to store cans of soft drinks, maybe couple of white wine bottles, dairy products, so will be useful in my new home as an additional source of refrigeration without being bulky and taking up unnecessary space. It is far more useful than a mini cooler which does not refrigerate to my requirements. It runs quietly which is an added bonus should I use it in a spare bedroom.
I bought this to save my bacon (literally) when my not so old fridge freezer gave up the ghost one Saturday.
It’s not huge but we managed to fit the daily essentials in before we got the other one repaired. Now we are back in business, it will take over the role of can cooler. Our black version looks good too!
Energy rating A. Took a photo to show you how much my son has crammed into his fridge! Can store a 1 litre bottle in the door along with plenty of milkshakes and cans of pop.
Bottom shelf of main fridge holds about 12 330ml cans and top shelf 10. Freezer comes with small ice cube tray (holds 6 Cornetto’s or ice cube tray and about 6 calippo ice lollies to give you an idea of size). Comes with 3 year guarantee and will be perfect for essentials like milk, egg and cheese if main kitchen fridge ever breaks. Plan is for my son to take it with him to uni or his first flat (if it’s still working in 6 years time).
Very happy with purchase and my son loves it it’s a great size and the only mini fridge with a decent ice compartment!
With regards to the ice compartment it freezes ice and keeps calippo’s frozen solid but Cornetto’s were very soft so not really for ice-cream or other frozen products (just ice cubes and ice lollies really). This would be perfect for a mini bar in an adults bedroom or for a caravan etc. Excellent value for money and such good quality. Everybody thinks it’s a really expensive fridge when it isn’
Smart little fridge just right for the space and not noisy. I use it for drinks and as an overflow fridge for when I’m entertaining. I’ve had it for six weeks. It keeps things at a good cold temperature. Only one quibble: the retaining rail for bottles etc stored in the door shelf is flexible – this is good for wider items I suppose but risky for wine and small beer bottles etc as they can very easily fall out – in my case they’d smash onto the stone floor. Since I mostly use this as a drinks fridge I have taped the rail into position and check it every so often. Not ideal but it IS good if people want to have flexibility to put wider items in the door. Good fridge for the price.
Not as much space as I thought there would be for the size of the unit but you get a couple days snacks and drinks in there.
The feet are quite slippery so you will need some gripper pads for the two front feet or it will move every time you open the door.
Biggest negative about this product is that it can be quite noisy. Turns itself on every 15 minutes or so for 2 minutes and makes a medium loudish rumbling sound. It would be fine in a kitchen or garage but in a bedroom when you are trying to sleep it does start to get annoying after a while.
Overall a good quality product for the price. Probably one of the best counter top fridges on the market that I’ve seen. That is until something else comes along that’s a bit quieter and fixes some of the minute niggles this one has.
Just be careful opening the door or the drinks in the door section can fall out. The ice compartment is ok for ice cubes but as it’s only got freezing panels on 2 out of 6 sides so it won’t keep icecream/lollies frozen… but overall it’s still a good fridge.

Surprisingly large capacity for such a small fridge, and very well designed. The only complaint I have is that the freezer section, when turned up high, can leak to the liquids shelf. This has lead to accidentally frozen juice and milk many times! As long as you have it on a mid setting though, this is a really good mini fridge.
One small niggle is that the glossy black colour can get greasy very very easily, it might be nicer if some of it was matte texture, especially on the top!
By the reviews it seems others have had more success with noise than me but also other having more problems than me so I wont complain too much!
The fridge itself is great for what it’s used for (cooling/freezing things) and I’ve been able to fit six 500ml water bottles, two Rubicon 2ltr bottles and a few cartons of soya milk in there all at once which I thought was awesome. I’ve also done some testing going from six to two on the thermostat and 6 will make your drink extremely cold, cold enough that when I pulled a bottle of water out and give it a quick shake the water turned into a water slush puppie. I then every few days knocked it one down on the thermostat and to be honest two or three will keep your drink perfectly cold enough and I’ve just gone between those two settings for the past week or so to see if it really needs to be on three or if I can get away with two or even one.
Now, the thing everyone seems to either not have a problem with at all or the thing that people are having a nightmare with and it’s a deal breaker , NOISE. I’ll be honest, it’s near silent, until it kicks in every 10-15 minutes for a minute or two and gives off a vibrating noise, which, as time has gone on started to annoy me more and more. I’m a bit of a audio freak so having a random buzzing sound pop up every so often does get annoying but I guess it’s just one of the things I’ll have to put up with (if anyone knows how to sort this, please, help me!). That being said it’s right next to my bed and I really don’t have a problem getting to sleep nor have I been woken from the buzzing.
If you’re going to put it in a room where there’s lot of noise or a room you won’t be in or maybe you don’t care for noise at all then this is a incredible mini (it does hold a fair bit) fridge but if you feel the noise may annoy you and you do get triggered by the slightest of sounds this might turn into a small nightmare.
Great internal design allows you to store large bottles unlike many other mini fridges.
The freezer compartment is a decent size.
