Love this. Bought it for my husband as he has suddenly been convinced to a wheelchair so I put this in his study. It holds a fair bit and the freezer but makes ice without any problem- it will also hold a few icelollies in the summer too. It’s very very quiet which is a great advantage. Love it.
I love the colour as well, it is black and looks classy, blends in any room.
Firstly, the size is ideal for small spaces or as an additional fridge for beverages or snacks. The 43-liter capacity is surprisingly spacious, allowing me to store various items without compromising on performance. The adjustable thermostat is a convenient feature, enabling me to set the temperature to suit the contents.
Energy efficiency was a significant concern for me, and this fridge, with its F energy rating, has proven to be economical without compromising its cooling ability. I appreciate its low energy consumption, which is kinder to both the environment and my electricity bills.
Design-wise, the sleek black finish adds a touch of sophistication to any space. Its tabletop design makes it versatile, fitting well in different areas such as dorm rooms, offices, or even as an extra fridge in the kitchen. The reversible door is also a practical feature, offering flexibility in placement options.
The fridge operates quietly, which is a significant plus, especially for those sensitive to noise. However, it does emit a slight hum occasionally, but nothing bothersome or disruptive.
In terms of functionality, the interior layout is well thought out, with adjustable shelves and a decent-sized door rack, providing ample storage options for various items. The removable wire shelf is handy for easy cleaning or adjusting the space for larger items.
Overall, the Russell Hobbs RHTTLF1B 43L Table Top Fridge in black is a reliable and stylish option for those seeking a compact yet efficient refrigerator. Its combination of functionality, energy efficiency, and sleek design make it a worthwhile investment for anyone in need of extra cooling space without sacrificing style or performance.
Looks great with a prestige label.
Efficient working with a small ice box that can be handy in summer. Quite good capacity for my office use to keep the occasional lunch and snacks.
Usually quite except the occasional whirring of every fridge.
A godsend as I am disabled. I have it upstairs for water and medication. Means I don’t have to go down the stairs to fetch anything. Brillia
I love this fridge is so quiet and spacious inside, even has a little freezer box which is ideal for ice cubes as I bought this as a beer and drinks fridge for my bedroom. For the price can’t really go wrong and it’s almost silent while running.
For cold keeping of drinks etc in my Care Home room.
lovely size my son lives on his own big enough for him to keep all he needs.
This is an excellent fridge. I got it for the bedroom for storing cold drinks for when I’m on the computer and if I need water in the night. It is so quiet that you hardly know if it’s operating.
If I had to nit-pick, I would say the freezer (a tiny little box at the top) isn’t good enough to keep things really frozen and I would have helped having a small dim light inside. But, as said, that is nit-picking at it’s worse – this is an extremely good fridge for kitchen or bedroom and would heartedly recommend
easonably happy with item. My only gripe would be the ice box gets built up with ice too much. Not much else you can do with it as it’s set at 2 setting.
I bought this fridge to replace a small fridge I bought for my daughter when she was in a shared house at university. It’s good to have a spare fridge upstairs for cold drinks and spillover at Christmas when my main fridge is always bursting at the seems!
It’s quiet and spacious and really fitted my use.
An ideal fridge to go along with the Hobbs freezer I bought previously for a household of two. I think they overthought things though by including the freezer section. It really impacts on the space and makes it harder to fit items in a manner that optimizes the space available.
Good size we use this for camping and at home as a spare fridge if needed. Can definitely recommend
This acts as my main fridge in shared dorms, excellently works for my weekly food shop and a few drinks. Very impressive for the price
Little beauty. Perfect for my office. The ice box is a neat feature. I don’t use ice in my single malt but some of my visitors do!
This table top fridge works very well but the freezer section is poor there is a gap at the back of the freezer maybe it is meant to be there but as a consequence the freezer is not very efficient it will freeze the ice tray provided but it does not freeze ice cream lollies and if you turn up the fridge it will freeze objects underneath or by the side.
Personally I’ve been entirely satisfied with it.
Bought this to replace a faulty fridge in my static holiday caravan in France so not in full use yet. Looks about the right size and works well on test at home. One star held back until we use it for real.
One of my favorite features of this fridge is the adjustable thermostat, which allows me to set the temperature to my desired level. The fridge also runs quietly, so it doesn’t disturb the peace in my home. The adjustable shelves are another great feature, as I can rearrange them to fit larger items or create more space for smaller items.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Russell Hobbs RHTTF67B Mini Fridge to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish mini fridge. It’s easy to use, spacious, and looks great in any room. Plus, the price is very reasonable compared to other mini fridges on the market. 5/5!
Got next day delivery on this fridge. Brought as extra space needed . Was concerned when sides got very hot so switched of and left off over night Seemed to settle down sides just warm and then cold My only complait is door shelve doesnt hold bottles and cans in place so when you open the door they full forward and you have to push them back so you can shut the door.
.
Using in a studio apartment and the noise level is minimal.
Absolute brilliant little fridge keeps everything nice and cold works better than normal fridge lol
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A great little fridge ideal for garden bar, lowest setting is very cold so energy efficient low noise
Got it cheaper due to damaged packaging. On arrival there was a dent at the top/back. It is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect the use and is hidden once put under the desk. Easy to move, nice little fridge for one perso
I use this product in my shed during summer to keep my maggots in I’m very pleased with it would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a table top 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.

Currently being used by my dad as his beer fridge in his workshop 🙂
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.
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
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.
Honestly, the negative reviews are totally unfounded. The fridge makes the noise of a small fridge. It isn’t loud at all, if they want something cold without noise I recommend a cool box. I have a fairly small room and sleep with this in close proximity. it is not “overly noisy’ what so ever, great little fridge that I highly recommend (particularly if you have housemates with light fingers!)

I gave the energy rating 3 only because of what the manufacturer stated about it. I bought it to take camping and it actually works very well off campsite electric hook-ups. After having it plugged in for the first night of camping we realised we had set the temperature setting too high as the milk had frozen solid. Soon sorted that out and it worked perfectly all week. It will now take position as my beer cooler until we go out on our next camping trip.
Great bit of kit – really impressed.
Due to winter I shifted my kitchen in my bedroom . Noise level is same as my wall clock so I have no problem at night time .Temperature control is good. Only negative point is there is no light inside the fridge.
Gifted to my brother during isolation, he’s done nothing but praise it. Says it keeps his cans cold and food chilled. No complaints.
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.
My caravan fridge finally gave up the ghost (30 years old) to replace it would cost about 350 the Russel Hobbs table top was just over 100 it will only run on 240 volt but the camp sites we use have 240 volt hook up so it was a good purchase.
I’m impressed with the size and how much storage actually I have inside the fridge . The noise level is acceptable and is really good size for my studio. Only if they can add a light in the fridge would be just amazing. I’m glad that I choose this brand fridge . Thank you!!!
Literally one of the best things I’ve ever bought. Keeps things a great cold temperature.
Perfect for someone that doesn’t want to keep getting up to go to the fridge (like myself) plenty of room for bottles or cans and other items best served chilled
Superb for camping. Compact for packing and great storage capacity. The small freezer compartment worked brilliant, but is only small. Good for ice cubes and small tubs of ice cream.
Temperature control and cooling speed were good. Would definitely recommend for camping.
It is a very good one. You have the program to set the temp as high or low as you want. I have it at medium, and it’s very cool. It is Light, and it’s bigger than I thought. So very happy with it. Just remember! You have to plug it, and not to turn the fridge on until 3hours have past while plugged into a power shocked
Great as second fridge. As i have a small kitchen…don’t have space for very large or tall fridge.
Only downside, ice box ices up quickly.
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.
Bought for my daughter who’s at uni. She loves it and thinks the storage capacity is just right, and the energy efficiency is great for a small fridge. It seems to keep her food fresh and the wine cold, so happy with the temperature control. Very happy with the purchase.
Emergency Fridge using for back.
Excellent item.
Neat and tidy easy to set up.
Delivered well before date.
All when smoothly.
Just buy one from Amazon.
What more can one say.
Replaced a fridge which was far too big for my kitchen with this counter top, and it’s perfect for me, takes 2 5 ltr bottles of milk, stacks a few things like cheese, and there is even a small icebox. It isn’t noisy and looks good.
Bought this for when camping in the tent with electric hook-up. Better than an electric coolbox as it keeps food at the temperature you want. Not a certain amount below ambient! It even has a small freezer compartment. Ideal for ice (tray supplied) or ice cream on a hot day We never noticed it making a noise during the night. Overall very pleased with our purchase.
This little fridge works well, is quiet enough not to interrupt my sleep, and keeps things very cold! I think the price was good, the quality appears excellent, but durability I can’t comment on because I’ve only had it a month. so far everything perfect though.
I researched this thoroughly. It was a bargain at nearly half price, though perfectly new and excellent. I am very happy with this fridge. Works perfectly. And if ice box needs defrosting it only takes a couple of hours. Perfect for me living alone. You can get so much more in this fridge than you would think.
Purchased (93.99 | 25 May 2018)
Pros:
Lots of space, if you remove the tray you can easily fit 4 2 litre bottles in it (2 standing, 1 at the back, 1 in the door) with room to spare
Has a dedicated ice tray area at the top
Reversible door
Door space is generous
Cons:
Little bit noisy when the motor is on, but not bad enough to drop it down a sta
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’
Excellent product! I bought this for my daughters Uni room and was worried about the level of noise, I need not have concerned myself as it is lovely and quiet and it can hardly be heard at all in the room when is quiet at night 🙂 Holds plenty for her needs and I would definitely recommend this product and the service received from product providers 🙂
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.
Following the instructions i waiting three hours before turing it on to let the cooling fluid to settle after transit, advise you do the same, packaging was i guess adequate but the top of the box had been cut off to put the fridge in i believe (could only speculate as to why?). And rather than just opening it properly and tapping back up only two plastic straps actually held the box together, I learnt this after it was delivered upside down so after i took the fridge out and picked up the box all the broken polystyrene spewed out over the carpet when the top fell off…
So with that in mind i would advise you inspect the package on receipt for potential damage.
Pro’s
– It’s quiet to the point I thought it wasn’t working, I don’t see all these complaints as they don’t make sense.
– It’s cold, very cold.
– Pictures do not justify the size of this fridge, currently I can fit around 35 cans in it (yes I have that many), I also have food in the fridge which is nice.
– The freezer compartment I really didn’t like but have come to like it when freezing chocolate etc, it’s extremely cold.
– Door panels, though not perfect, they are perfect for my 1.5lt bottles of water and other stuff such as meats, sauces and more.
– The temperature change dial is inside the fridge rather than the back of it like most fridges.
– The overall look is very nice.
Cons
– The door trays are so annoyingly built, things fall through the gaps which can be really annoying, why are their gaps?!?! This stops me from giving it a 5.
– The freezer is not optional, it would be nice if it could be removed for extra space as it takes up a fair amount of it.
Overall I’m very happy with my fridge! It’s used in my bedroom and keeps my food and drinks cold, ill update this review,
PS use 5, not 6.
~Callum Appleto
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.
Does exactly what it says on the tin. As a small additional chiller it’s very efficient. My only problem with it is that the height from the bottom of the fridge to the shelf is not enough to stand a bottle of newcastle brown, or any other standard bottled beer, without putting the neck through the wire shelf gaps. This renders the shelf mostly useless without some care. An inch or so mor depth would have made it perfect. As a mini “man” fridge it works but that one wee niggle means i would hunt down a larger unit in future.
