Brillia
Absolute brilliant little fridge keeps everything nice and cold works better than normal fridge lol
Great for caravans etc
Sadly this leaked from inside despite freezer section freezing? Had to return but size great for somewhere like a caravan or small flat…amazon return fab as per usual
Good second fridge
There was a small dent in the side of the fridge by the place where you would switch the hinge when I unpacked it, in spite of all the protective packaging and no external damage to the box. Looks like it was sent out with a fault – disappointing. But I couldn’t bear the hassle of sending it back so kept it because it’s hidden behind a door. It works and does a job.
Great as a back up
I bought this when my fridge decided to pack up great little fridge when you have extra people of red that extra space very good size I would recommend
Efficie
Quality product which does what it says.
Ideal size for single room. Little ice box is a bonus. Plenty storage for small bottles and cartons.
Compac
Good little fridge used for caravan back up . The dimensions are H492xW472xD450 , I have put this on because there are various dimensions given on the description all different.
Life save
Bought this in a rush when our fridge failed and engineer couldn’t attend for two weeks!! Worked well. The only downside was the icebox. Didn’t need that as we had a freezer but the icebox took up room we could have utilised better.
Get one
I was sceptical table top fridge..yeah.
It was an eye opener, efficient, cold , quite. When this little beauty claps out..I am getting another one.
Works well not a great deal of space internally but ideal for prescription drugs.
The temperature control needs turning quite low to get the temperature low enough but once set perfect.
Finish excellent and ideal size for work tops. Ideal for drinks and snacks but limited as the door inner sections encroaches on fridge space.
Would buy again.
Awesome as camping fridge
Bought it to use on camping trips. Works great. Its small but we could fit everything we need to. Life saver in hot weather. Highly recommended!
I like to have a few bottles/cans of beer chilled at the ready for my weekly Friday night session or the odd sunny day in Scotland which can be quite unpredictable. Had researched quite a few fridges online. There are such a variety of sizes, styles and prices it took a while for me to go for this fridge. I wasn’t bothered about the look as it was going to sit in a spare room anyway and I do like the Russell Hobbs brand for other small electrical appliances e.g. irons, steam mops etc. Had the fridge for around 10 months now and really pleased with my purchase. I like my beer very cold and this fridge does the business. Setting goes to 5 but 3 is good enough for me. Doesn’t take long to chill – can put the bottles/cans in before work and they will be ready for me on my return, but even better if you have them chilled for a day or two. The size and capacity was a big plus for me. I tend to buy 330ml cans/bottles and it holds loads, however, it easily takes larger bottles and cans if you move the shelf to the top of the fridge and build them up horizontally from the bottom. The only issue I have had is that I’m not sure whether the door hinge is tightened properly. The door closes/seals the fridge fine but I sometimes have to lift it a little to stop the inner part of the door hitting the wall inside the fridge, particularly if I have anything stored on the fridge door. It clicks on and off, usually after the door has been opened, but is otherwise quiet. Haven’t used the wee freezer compartment but it needs defrosted around every 6 months with infrequent use. In summary, I love this wee fridge. Great capacity, been reliable so far and serves my purpose well.
Great for university
Bought for my son who is starting university
Does what it says
A great little fridge that can hold your food essentials with ease. Brought this as a temporary solution while waiting for our new fridge to arrive (the old one broke down). The setup is straightforward, and it uses surprisingly little electricity despite its not-so-great energy rating, just remember to wait three hours after delivery before plugging it in (explained in the manual). In a quiet room, it can seem a bit loud, but if it’s in your kitchen or den etc. I wouldn’t worry. For the size, it’s quite powerful, even on its mid-setting you won’t worry on a hot day. Also liked that you can switch the door hinges to suit where you’re placing the fridge.
Currently being used by my dad as his beer fridge in his workshop 🙂
I got this fridge to replace a slowly-failing mini-fridge I got for almost the exact same price a year before. That one was also Russel Hobbs branded, but was more like a box with a fgan in it. It was loud, not mega cold, and only became less and less effective over time.
They processed my refund when it stopped working and I used that money to buy this. It’s quite a fair bit bigger, so be mindful of that, but the main thing is: it is actually a fridge. With an ice box, too. It’s been an absolute godsend, it keeps things very very cool and fits quite a lot of stuff in it. It doesn’t seem meaningfully less effective when quite full, either.
I got it on sale for around 90, but if you’re looking at this at full price I’d recommend it fully.
Small fridge? Get one of these
I wanted a table top fridge to replace my busted one. This is excellent. Quiet (yes, you shoulda heard the last one!) and the freezery bit is great for me ice cubes. I can get all the booze in and food, too lol! Plus, it’s Russell Hobbs and their stuff is very reliable. It gets beers very cool even on a very low setting which makes it cheaper to run for me.
AMAZING!
Bought this for my Dad as a birthday present and it works great! We use it to keep our drinks cool in the garage and it guarantees a cold beer if that’s as important to you as it is to us!
Fridge
Table top fridge not too bad but could be colde
Excelle
Lightweight. Very cold with an ice cube freezer compartment. Deep and can hold a lot of food & drinks. Very pleased. Highly recommended.
Good buy
Good fridge but bottles fall out of the door so have to watch what you put in i
Good value for a table top fridge
Bought as a slightly damaged unit at a discounted price to use as a second fridge for our Ukrainian guests.
What I needed
At first, it was making a very annoying humming noise, but after moving it so it has more space for ventilation, it has been quiet enough to keep in my bedroom and the only time it really makes noise is if I change the temperature. It has enough space for my needs and has been good value for money so fa
Great little fridge!
It’s a great little fridge.
My son wanted it for his room as in the attic & gets hot so mainly wanted it fir just drinks – but will take it with him when he goes to uni.
Has also used the freeze section (very small) to keep ice lolly’s! Really pleased with it!!
Great little fridge
Needed a fridge, bigger than a “table top” fridge but not as tall as a normal fridge. This was perfect, just the right size and holds a surprisingly large amount.
Very quiet and holds temperature very well.
Came with a slight dint in the rear panel but it is not visible and has no impact on the functionality so didn’t bother remarking on it. Delivery was spot on to the time stated and quick.
All in all can’t fault the product or the company.
Good but no cigar...
Lasted just under four years before it refused to work, even after trying a factory reset. Disappointing outing with Russell Hobbs :(((
So far so good
I bought this fridge because I wanted to try and cut down on energy costs, didn’t see the point in having a large fridge with a few items.
I like it so far, milk is ice cold even though its on lowest setting,
I’m a single parent with two teenage boys,so it’s a sufficent size for my needs to hold basic items. can hold 2×4 pints milk cartons, 1kg cheese in door, bottle wine, chicken and ham slices etc, I usually decant my meals into containers so I’d say could hold 4 circular containers at the bottom or 6 of the plastic rectangular ones I reckon.
It’s very quiet, a lot quieter than my bigger fridge.
At the moment I have switched off the larger fridge, I leave the door open at night. I only intend to use it if I do a really big shop if I’m entertaining eg Christmas, so will need more fridge space.
I only have ice cubes in the freezer part at the moment, not tried anything else will update when I do.
I place a drip tray below the freezer part, not as much water as others have complained about, but you will get icicle partials below the ice box which I suggest you just wipe off weekly.
I assume the longer the door I open it may create more vapour?! Who know, I’m not a fridge expert, but I’m sure my bill will have been reduced as a result of using a smaller, energy efficient fridge, makes sense.
NB: energy efficiency labels have changed, I didn’t realise this until I queried the ratings so I suggest you Google for more information.
Overall I’m pleased with my purchase so far.
Great fridge, but slightly damaged
Seems to be a really good fridge. Looks good, easy to reverse the door and it runs silent as far as i can tell (fridges are always noisy the first time you use them until they reach temp) Fits cans of drink and full size milk cartons in the door. Plenty of space on the shelf for lunch and snacks. Icebox a bonus for summer months!
It is exactly as i expected, however it does have some cosmetic damage – the top corners are dented and theres a dent in the side, but as i am using under a counter with other objects next to it, i will accept it. Might not be idea if you have it on a worktop on display.

Cold drinks.
This is the second of this model I have now. Purchased to use in an outdoor garden room c/w cold beverage facility. Neat / compact and well designed for its intended use. I have reversed the door to suit my needs and this is well within the scope of most people. My first one is still operational after 5 years of use so this one should serve its purpose.
Can be very noisy at times
Ideal for teenage sons bedroom, plenty of room to keep his snacks and drinks and fits nicely on a counter top in his room. Only issue is the noise it randomly makes which can be heard in other rooms too but only last 20-30 seconds at a time.
Excellent Mini Fridge Freezer.
Just the job! Ticks all the boxes. I don’t find these appliances particularly noisey. Obviously if you are keeping it in the bedroom you are going to notice it more. Mine is kept in our small kitchen set up, (main fridge freezer in the garage). All good.
Love this!!
This is my favourite purchase in a while!
I store all my drinks in it and theyre always super cool and i store my serums and sheey mask in the little compartment on the door.
Ice tray department does unfortunately leak a bit so make sure to wipe up any excess water that drips ou
Very pleased in the short term.
Warning: this is a short term review based on only a few weeks of use.
I bought this because I rent, and the installed fitted kitchen fridge consumes energy like a blast furnace, and is less insulated than a naked cross Atlantic swimmer. So I decided to get a small fridge for under 100 instead of haemorrhaging money and causing an argument with the landlord (who would no doubt just replace the old fridge with another energy inefficient fridge, then put the rent up)
I am VERY happy. It is very cold, very efficient and well insulated. Ive used a laser thermometre on the outside “white” part on all sides and barely find a +/- 1c difference. It uses very little electricity and its very quite. I literally put this in my bedroom and when the TV is on I barely even hear it when it fires up.
My only slight reservation is the thermostat, not that it causes me particular problems. Even on the lowest setting its still VERY cold. Maybe because its new, and its in a cold room which is optimal, but I already have it turned to the lowest setting, and tbh I would happily have it slightly warmer if it meant using less electricity, but it wont go down further.
I have seen some complaints that water “pools” in the fridge. True but not the whole picture. Basically the cooler box IS the internal cooling element, and its metal. The fridge is very insulated, so when it turns on to cool, the metal element gets suddenly VERY cold and any moisture vapour condenses and freezes on it. If your room is humid this will be a problem, if not, it wont. Personally this happens to me only when I am drying laundry in my bedroom. Humidity = condensation.
The simple fix is to keep an eye on it, and if you see drops of frozen water on the underside of the chiller tray, turn the fridge off for ten minutes, then just as it starts to thaw, wipe the underside with a cloth and all the ice drops separate immediately onto the cloth. Job done. Like I said though, its only ever happened to me when Im drying lots of laundry in a coldish room.
I would also note that when I used a power metre plug, my old fridge was costing more to run, than the value of the food I was preserving. This fridge is so efficient Ive turned it down to level 1, and stopped monitoring it.
Pros
Cheap to buy
Very quiet
VERY energy efficient.
Surprisingly spacious considering its size
Very very cold
You can pack it to the gills and it will keep things cool
Cons
If there is damp or humidity, it will condense and freeze on the cooling element.
I got this fridge to save money, its paid for itself. Energy efficiency is advancing very quickly these days and this thing is cheap, effective and efficient.
Very pleased in the short term.

Big but good
It’s relatively quiet most of the time with an occasional stir but it’s perfect holds a lot of drinks and the ice cube compartment was a welcome surprise the temperature gage is pretty much keep it on number two but that still very cold and keeps my drinks cold
Excellent product - does what it says on the
Lovely product, and surprisingly spacious.
There is a small ice box but do not expect it to freeze as well as a freezer would. It’s big enough to store one or two items at a time but obviously the more you put in the less effective the freeze will be.
Good space in the doors – enough to fit two 2 pint size milk cartons in plus other shorter cartons or cans!
Very quiet and easy to set up and keep clean. Highly recommended.
Good small fridge
The reviews seem all over the place but I’ve been happy with this fridge. Followed the instructions on leaving it to settle and so on and now it works perfectly – keeps stuff cold and is very quiet.
It is very small but apart from that its well recommended.
It works
Bought to replace a previous mini fridge for my son’s bedroom, hums a little when the compressor’s running but once it’s down to a working temperature, falls silent and works nicely as a fridge, with it’s little ice box for cubes and the occasional ice cream bar.
Great mini fridge
As far as fridges go this is a very good one, from other reviews there have been noise complaints and also general keeping things cool complaints however after having this in my bedroom for a few months I have not ran into any negatives. It would be nice for the freezer part to be a little bigger but it does it’s job greatly and doesn’t make much noise at all!
Better than anticipated
My fridge broke down and it was going to be at least 5 days before I could get a replacement. Purchased this as a back up, it arrived next door and was great. Held more than expected. It will come in very handy at Christmas.
Good value for money
It is very silent and does the job!
The temperature adjustment is very effective providing from 2 to 7 degrees from high to the low knob position.
I bought it because we went on holiday in Bournemouth at a 4-star hotel and they didn’t have a mini-fridge in the room! It made our holiday drinks perfect to drink in the heat of the room (no air conditioning pff..4 star hotel!!)
Works for me.
I do like it and use it as a beer/wine fridge but be aware that only one normal size bottle of wine can fit in the door. Also note that the base of the door slopes so that cans and bottles lean forward into the flexible retaining bar causing slight resistance when closing. Very quiet.
Grea
Very happy with this fridge and will likely buy another couple for the other bedrooms . It’s handy having it there for cold drinks etc and it’s silent a lot of the time too ! Looks great and a great price .deffo recommend
Great For Value
Having this mini fridge has been very handy. With its low noise level and it being energy efficient has made it a great addition to my gaming setup. The fridge itself can hold a lot more than what it appears to be in the images provided. Would definitely recommend buying this.
Great bargai
Bought for the spare bedroom to save having to run up and down stairs for drinks in the middle of the night. Fridge is big enough to carry several bottles, and the occasional snacks and is so quiet that it does not disturb us sleeping in the next bedroom. Great bargain.
SUPER LITTLE FRIDGE
A great size fridge for my own needs – storing dog food, so as not to taint family food!
It’s a much better size than others I’ve had and as it’s just for pet need it’s more than big enough!
Excellent price and the delivery was quicker than expected 5* product which I highly recommend for an add-on fridge!!!
Very good buy
Very good “little” bar fridge to store my beers in. Bigger capacity than expected, runs at very cold or cold, perfect for beverages on a hot summer’s day. Excellent value. Very happy
Roomy little fridge
This fridge is deceptively roomy. No more discovering out of date items due to using a family size fridge in a single person home! Wish I had bought earlier as this purchase allowed me to free up needed space in my cottage. It also has a lovely finish. I bought a three drawer Electra freezer also. I would recommend.
Gets nice and cold nice and quick.
I bought this primarily for camping, and was very pleasantly surprised to find that the ice box actually makes ice quite quickly. The fridge gets things very cold, and quickly, although items below the ice box can freeze if the fridge is set to maximum. It can fit quite a lot if you’re good at tetris, and also looks quite smart.
Good now
First time I used it was for a party. Plugged in and filled with drinks and the side got real hot. I think we overloaded it as when I moved it to my office it worked fine with fewer items to keep cold
very good fridge
I love this small table top fridge. Got it for extra space in the garage Matches the freezer too! Easy to assemble and soon up and running . Hopefully it will give years of service.
Excellent purchase.
Bought this mini fridge to replace an even smaller one. Used to store insulin at between 2 – 7 degrees C. Old fridge used the Peltier system so fan running all the time and in warm weather will not keep contents cool This one has small compressor which is excellent and very quiet Uses the casing to dissipate heat so leave space around fridge. Have had to turn temperature setting down to 2.5 to get desired setting Well worth the money
Great Buy
So far it’s been fine. It’s not too loud, it’s keeping everything to a good temperature, nothing is freezing as others are advising and it’s well built.
Energy efficiency isn’t great however it does the job and well.
Only complaint is the freezer door isn’t flush in line with the compartment shape. Very minor as it has no affect on the overall performance.
Really handy , useful item.
Most useful appliance , my kitchen is not big enough for fridge so it is in my dinning room. This small one fits on top of my units in kitchen so all the things I use daily are kept in there.
A great little fridge.
A really great little fridge. I only use the it for holding bits and bobs for making sandwiches for work and for that purpose it is excellent. I would take the advice of other reviewers when using it for the first few days and keep an eye on the temperature as it gets really cold at the setting as recommended in the manual. Also, if you place items under the ice box, make sure that they are not tall enough to come close to the unit as this area of the fridge is probably the coldest and I have had food freeze up. Just store some flat packets of food here.
Other reviewers have said that fridge can be too noisy but I haven’t found it so (although obviously it does make a noise when the pump is operating) and my kitchen is open planned at the back of my lounge.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy a small fridge.
Highly recommend
Returned item through no fault of the seller, I’d ordered wrong size. Total nightmare trying to get this item picked up for return. Again no fault of the seller, it was the courier Hermes fault entirely! Amazon was amazing at rearranging another courier pickup, after nearly 4 weeks of failed attempts from Hermes.
As described by the seller. Really good quality product, awarded 5 Thank you for swift prompt delivery! Definitely recommend this seller!
Compact but very useful as a back up.
I’m using it as a beer fridge in the utility room. Sits on a worktop above a freezer. Holds quite a lot really. I’ve got 16 x 440ml cans, 4 x 330ml bottles of beer, 2 bottles of wine & a 2 ltr bottle of water in it. I could probably get a little bit more in but didn’t want to overfill it.
Not sure about the practicality of this...
At the edge of practical size… Ices up too easily and requires defrosting regularly, or you turn it down to prevent icing and the food and milk doesn’t last long enough.
Heat dissipation through the sides not the back… Weird!
Great little fridge
Works well, have the setting on 3/4 most of time. Fits quite a lot in considering the size of it.
If you have a small space this is ideal. Very quiet. Small ice box that I find unnecessary as I have under counter freezer and it gathers ice around the outside. Probably fit a bag of peas in if you don’t have a freezer.
Manual defrost for that.
Effective but a little bit loud
Works really well, keeps things cold and ice cold in the ice tray.
I’ve seen people complaining in these reviews that ice forms on this compartment apparently not realising that it’s designed for that purpose.
The fridge is pretty noisy though. In a bedroom at night it could be disturbing if you’re a light sleeper.
If you’re only storing drinks and it doesn’t matter if they’re not kept completely chilled at all times then you could do what I’ve done and put it on a timed plug socket so that it only operates before 11pm and after 6am so they’re cold again when I wake up but the fridge doesn’t keep me awake
Compac
Didn’t want to get fridge freezer yet til kitchen has bn fitted so bought this temporarily use. All I would say is that if u put it on the recommended dial 5 everything freezes on top shelf
Size and Volume
when arrived was not suitable for needs due to the size and the volume more like for keeping a few beers in and can also be used for refrigerated medications. unfortunately we had to send the item back .
Good quality , worth it for the price
I bought this whilst living in a houseshare as I didn’t want the hassle of sharing a fridge. It is only noisy on occasion , but this is hardly noise, it is more a slight gurgling noise. It is good for capacity and can fit a lot of various foods/ drinks in there. I am really pleased with it. The only thing I need to get use to is the lack of light but the temperature is really good. Would highly recommend .
Good little fridge
This is a great little fridge I bought for storing drinks in and snacks to free up some space in our main fridge it comes with a great little freezer compartment with an ice tray, my only complaint is that inside its got a horrible kinda chemical plastic smell I’m hopping that will fade over time other than that its great keeps our drinks super cold
So happy
It does make a noise but it’s not too loud and only happens when the fridge is cooling it’s self down. If you keep on setting 4 or 5 it’s perfect and doesn’t make a noice very often. Lots of space and keeps drinks etc very cool. Freezer isn’t the best but is very handy to have. Glad I bought it for my room
Terrible quality . After only 4 months of use its totally stopped working after smelling a rancid burning odour inside.. Most of reviews how bad this fridge is is totally true.. Please do not believe one of the Female reviewers on here with the name S****.. I think she works for ur Russell Hobbs!! It’s true the freezer cannot freeze your ice cream or other things you want freezing. And freezer builds up of so much ice but cannot freeze your items..
What a waste of money, not even worth a freebie!!
Its now being sent back to Amazon for a full refund..
Very very disappointed, especially when it’s a branded produc
A nice little fridge
This was a panic buy when our fitted fridge broke down a few days before Christmas. It was delivered so promptly that we had to throw away very little perishable food. Although capacity is quite small, it tided us over the Christmas period perfectly until John Lewis came to our rescue with a new fitted fridge. We continue to use the Russell Hobbs mainly for dairy products and drinks – useful extra capacity which takes up relatively little space. Recommended.
Wanted a smaller fridge for storing some things that need to be kept refrigerated for a day or so that is used for work purposes. I did read reports of noisy motors in these units but I think that this may apply to the smaller units (43 litre capacity?) units. I have not found this unit to have a noisier motor than is standard and in fact is very quiet in use. In hindsight and this is my fault, I should have got a slightly bigger unit of about 100? Litres as space in these is limited by where part of the internal motor is. That is purely to meet my own particular needs. Would be good as a counter top fridge for extra capacity to top up that of your normal fridge.

Minor setbacks but overall extremely happy with the product!!
As far as price goes this is definitely great value for money. It’s relatively spacious and has a mini fridge. I would say it is harder to fit larger bottles such 1.5/2 litre bottles, mainly because of the length, I’d you have them in the door you can only fit one and if you have them not top they will most likely freeze, however you can fit a lot of other stuff in there, I practically fit a whole weekly shop sans any longer items.
As for temperature control, the fridge and the freezer share the same settings so you can’t change either one, the freezer is very strong and any products near or under the freezer will freeze, I tried to put the temp lower to avoid that, however that then the temp for the entire fridge down and something I had in there went off.
Despite all this I would highly recommend, as it’s not for general use, it definitely meets its purpose. I am able to store cans, bottles and juices in my room like I need and in the summer the freezer was full. It can fit one Ben and Jerry’s tube and 12 single lollies.
Does the job
Works well keeps products cold as required. Only a couple of small points preventing overall 5 stars is :
1. no interior light.
2 slightly noisy when the compressor switches on.
Was bought as an emergency when our main fridge freezer stopped working and we had to wait several weeks for it to be fixed. It served its purpose.
Neat little item.
This is a nice little fridge and holds quite a bit. I could have done without the little ice cube compartment, but no doubt a lot of people use it as a drinks fridge and will want ice. It would like to have been able to store more than one juice carton or bottle in the door. But generally it’s a good piece of kit and decent value for money.
Good
Happy with the fridge. Good size and looks good in daughter’s uni room. One down side is that the freezer isn’t really a freezer. We had thought it would be good for keeping ice cream and freezing ice cubes – but it isn’t cold enough for either of those functions.
Excelle
Emergency purchase while away camping in recent hot weather as it was impossible to keep beers cool. Doesn’t hold too many bottles at once however if you adhere to good stock rotation it has enough cooling capacity so that you shouldn’t suffer from any nasty surprises. Freezer compartment large enough for a few ice cubes should you lose you way and have a soft drink however you should come to senses and return to ale before the couple of dozen ice cubes run out. Packed away ready for the next trip
FANTASTIC LITTLE FRIDGE
Great little fridge. Bought for our caravan and just a perfect size. Once switched on it cools really quickly and I was able to make ice cubes in the tray provided, put two frozen baked potatoes and a half bag of frozen chips all in the little ice box! I was able to keep, in the fridge itself, a bottle of lemonade, some cans of coke and a few other food items. Just perfect for my needs. The fridge is quiet which I was delighted with as most times small fridges like this are noisy. Would certainly recommend.
It is a good size fridge which holds a lot.
Good size arrived before time etc, but this fridge is absolutely too noisy. It goes off every 5-10 min, dreadful sounds like an aeroplane taking off.. It’s too much for me with my medical conditions including sleep apnoea. Need urgent help to sort this problem out please I use it in my bedroom. Thanks
Brilliant!
Stupendous! I kept 30 plastic bottles of B-Fresh Green Guru smoothies in this little fridge and I still have extra space to keep 30 plastic bottles of Ginger Fix (extreme defence) in the same tiny fridge. It helps to control the required temperature for my monthly supply of supper green smoothies.
The fridge is super quite, keeps my smoothies cool at the right temperature and it has it’s own temperature control dial.
It doesn’t calibrate like my printer does!
Great little fridge
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.
Very pleased!
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.
Great little fridge
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!
As expected - Good value for money
The fridge is fine, Storage capacity is as expected. Noise level as well. the only minus is the leaking water from the “mini freezer” storage/place. There is a container to collect droppings but it meant to be on the storage shelve. So if you keep any can or bottle under this mini freezer shelve, all water droppings ending up on your drinks/items. Not a big deal, but this is the only imperfection I found 🙂
Ordered for our office
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.
Cracking little fridge
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.
Damaged packaging
Product arrived via Hermes however the box it was packed in was badly damaged – when I cut the outer tapes off the bottom of the box completely fell off. If I had noticed this when delivered I would have refused it. I just hope it works when I plug it in which won’t be tested for another 7 weeks when I move house.
It gets the job done.
It’s a nice little fridge that does it’s job.
It has good temp control, but the freezer compartment is more of a chill compartment which has an ice buildup.
If you need a tiny fridge with more space than you’d expect get this, i’m happy with it but it has no light.
Impressed
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
happy with the russell hobbs tabletop fridge
so far its working well, the noise of the fridge is like a standard fridge makes , is when it kicks in to keep the temperature then it goes quiet,
its quit big in size and thought how is this a tabletop fridge ,
you would need a plenty of room on the kitchen worktop as its about 1 half foot square , still i do like it and its keeping everything nice and cool , the noise isn’t loud.
i would have liked the drip tray to have been under the ice box like a drawer to slide out .
I would recommend the item , but please check the box when delivered ,as mine was damaged on the corner .
Just what we needed but........
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.
Excellent little fridge.
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.
Great fridge, works lovely. It is very quiet too.
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.
