Not loud, not too big and is better than my fridge freezer. Keeps everything super cool. Only thing I’d recommend is not leaving anything too close to the freezer section as it does freeze anything close to it.
Having the kitchen refurbished and out of bounds for a while, we needed somewhere to store fridge items without committing to a full size fridge. This is perfect. It’s not too big nor too small & will be useful back up when kitchen is back to full use. I like it black as a contrast to other white goods.
Classy efficient and quie
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.
So quiet and spacious inside
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Solid fridge with lots more room than expected.
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Cold storage for drinks
For cold keeping of drinks etc in my Care Home room.
5.0 out of 5 stars very good very quiet.
lovely size my son lives on his own big enough for him to keep all he needs.
Excellent fridge - recommended
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
not bad, but ice box builds up with ice too much and quickly
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.
Very Good but freezer section a waste of space
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.
Great little fridge
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant fridge
Good size we use this for camping and at home as a spare fridge if needed. Can definitely recommend
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money
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
5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job quietly
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!
Fridge
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.
we use this in our studio for mixers we use for visitors. Takes up little space, runs queit – and for the price i’d say does an excellent job. has a small ice compartment up top too which might not create ice all that quickly but keeps ice frozen if you source from elsewhere. not sure that scientifically makes sense but it’s a solid product and would buy again.
This mini-fridge can meet my need for refrigeration for one week’s supply of food. It has a small ice compartment. It is very quiet – just a very slight sound when the refrigeration cycle starts again if you’ve had the door open a while. Best to de-frost about once a month so that ice doesn’t build up on the ice compartment. With appropriately -sized storage containers I’ve been surprised how much I can fit in it.
Personally I’ve been entirely satisfied with it.
Looks the job
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.
I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs RHTTF67B Mini Fridge in black and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The fridge has a spacious 66-liter capacity, which is perfect for storing all of my beverages, snacks, and leftovers. The reversible doors make it easy to place the fridge in any location, and the black finish looks sleek and modern.
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!
Overall delighted with the purchase and its value-for-money, in my view. Easy to follow instructions and set-up. If you are not fit enough and or unsteady on your feet to lift cumbersome boxes, get someone to help, otherwise it could be a struggle, particularly up stairs. I have put mine in a spare room so its accessible from bedroom and from home office. Its spacious enough and cool enough. Themo-setting is recommended at “2” but it could be set higher- I haven’t risked it yet! Standard wine bottles don’t fit. If I have niggle: there isn’t a light inside….really!
mini fridge
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.
.
Quie
Using in a studio apartment and the noise level is minimal.
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.
Nice little fridge
A great little fridge ideal for garden bar, lowest setting is very cold so energy efficient low noise
Nice compact fridge
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
Is it any good yes excellent for my requirements
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.
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!
A great wee fridge for my bee
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.

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.
Solid choice
Nice little freezer compartment… lovely chilled drinks with adequate space.. not too much noise only when it has been open for a while you can hear it working to get the temp back
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.
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
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!)

Looks good and great for camping.
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.
Nice fridge for my bedroom
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.
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.
Perfect gift during isolatio
Gifted to my brother during isolation, he’s done nothing but praise it. Says it keeps his cans cold and food chilled. No complaints.
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
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.
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
minimal freezer.
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.

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.
Highly recommended.
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!!!

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.
Compact and fit for purpose!
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

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.
Great for camping
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.

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.
Brilliant mini fridge
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.

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.

Good as second fridge.
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.
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.
