Small tabletop fridge.
It’s very good and I enjoy using it to put my little food in it so it will last longer.
Very good recommend to anyone who leaves buy themselves for very LITTLE things.
Cold
Ordered collected unpacked plugged in .
That simple ! The temperature is amazing as I txt it has fresh milk in and the bottles are cold
Like they would be in a normal fridge . It does say it’s a cooler . As I am sending this review I have nothing to say bad about this small cooler . It is very small but perfect size for my needs I have took the little top shelf out in order to put two little bottles In .
A small bedroom fridge
A very useful little fridge. Light and very quiet. Ideal for make up or even as a mini fridge. Can take a pint bottle of milk easily with room for other chill needed stuff if required.
Great little item
Just moved into a property and didn’t have a fridge at the time. Bought this. Size was just right for a pint of milk and a cold drink. Lovely little handle on top for carrying to and from a car. Has the option of mains or car plugs. Ideal for a student at University. Great price and did what it said. Would definitely buy again if needed.
Mini fridge
Bought as a present for an office. This is a great little fridge keeps drinks at the perfect temperature. It is light and portable. Taking up very little space. White colour means it has versatility and blends in nicely in a home office.
As I have a bad knee I find it difficult to go downstairs at night to make a drink. I keep a kettle in my bedroom to make tea but the milk tended to go off in the summer/warmer weather. I bought this to keep milk cold in my bedroom.
It works very well, keeps the milk cold enough and is very quiet. It wasn’t the cheapest but it is a good reliable brand and should last.
I use this for my facial sheet masks and eye creams etc…
It’s not huge, if you want to put drinks in there you’ll probably get like 4 cans of pop or 4 500ml bottles of pop/water.
I have it in my bedroom on my bedside table, it actually cools the room down.
It works well, and keeps things very cold.
I think the price was very good.
For my needs for skincare, it’s great.
I have 30 face sheet masks on the bottom shelf and my eye patches on the little top shelf. I have popped my eye creams in there too, so it holds quite a lot really.
Yeah, I like it.
White noise
The only elegant-looking product I’ve found, and that’s the reason why I’m giving 4 stars. But there are three faults that tempted me to lower the rating. First, the fan on the back is pretty silent, but not enough to go unheard. I placed mine in the bedroom to store meds and I think I’ll end up disconnecting it when not in use. To give you an idea of the dB of the noise I’d say it’s the same of the fan of your laptop. Second, it has no rubber pads at the bottom to prevent it from sliding away when opening the door, and this forces me to handle it with two hands… which brings me to the third problem: Fingerprints resistance. It doesn’t matter how clean your hands can be, your fingerprints will stay visible on the fridge and make it look dirty (at least with the black version)
Was staying in a Travelodge for 3 day’s and room had no fridge , as summer needed storage for milk as i do like my cup of tea especially first thing. Searched Amazon quite a few mini fridges then i saw Russell Hobbs for just a little more in price than the unknown ones so bought it. I am very happy with this purchase and pleased with the storage as able to fit 2 one pint milk’s and a shop bought sandwich in the fridge. Also had to travel by train and did not want the fridge in my suitcase and it fitted nicely in my supermarket wine carry bag with the middle cut out of the bag, even able to put a t,towel in for protection. Fridge worked very well hardly any noise and very well made, i would highly recommend.
Really pleased with this. Hubby needed for eye drops when travelling in UK. Easy to use and does the job. Is very cold. Not noisy even plugged in car. And light. Did fit pint milk in too. Thanks
Nice
Very mini. Can only fit in 4 cans 330ml if you remove front door shelf. Sounds like a quiet fan all the time. Looks nice though and drinks are really kept cool.
Great addition to me van!
1hour in it’s all cold and my 1 pint of milk, whole Easter egg and slight adjustment to the door attachment 1 bottle of insulin and as you can see still room for more.
Running at 33w on dc and it’s about 43 on ac.
Works grea
I bought this little fridge for work. When I bought it I didn’t expected to be that great but it is. It keep everything cold inside. As well it has the option to keep things warm if would like plus it has cable for plug and car.
Grateful Granddaughte
I ordered this for my pre-teen granddaughter who like everyone’s child is growing up quicker than we expected. She asked her parents for this as she has just started to collect her own facial products and bath/shower items. Obviously the odd small tin of bottle of water /juice will find its way in along with a few sweets. But as she’s not that bothered about soda based drinks and has a daily allowance of sweet things ( she goes like a rocket with too much ) I knew I’d be safe buying it for her. They were going to America over Christmas and this came just in time for her to see it before she left. Over the moon was my happy Granddaughter who has since returned and started to put things in place. Great idea for small rooms, tidy minded people and those that need a cool box for medicines or whatever.
Don’t expect too much
Great little fridge with removable shelf and rack, portable and 12v cable included but doesn’t get as cold as expected but it’s only a fan so depends on room temperature but price was good
My Son has been asking for a mini fridge for a while and I decided on this one.
Very neat and compact and looks great on my Sons desk.
Fits 6 normal size cans of drink but you will have to remove the door shelf to close it.
Cools them down quite quickly and they are almost as cold as a normal fridge!
Doesn’t make a lot of noise when in use which is great!
Have not yet used the heating function.
Great little fridge bought for sons bedroom. It is tiny but big enough for for 8 small cans or 6 normal size cans. Not tried it as a warmer yet but the cold setting is very good and didn’t take long to cool down once plugged in. It’s a little noisy so will probably turn off at night.
Such a cute little fridge ! It’s perfect for my little glasses filled with drinks. Not too noisy in the nighttime either, I can barely hear it when I sleep. Deffo only fits 6 cans if you don’t include the door compartment slo
Bought for my son for his bedroom for cans of drink and chocolate
I was surprised how small it is, but it still holds quite a bit.
Very quiet – does not disturb his sleep.
He loves i
This product works perfectly. I am currently in Kenya using this fridge to cool my drinks, even in 30 degree the fridge is still cooling to 4 degree. Wish I would have purchased sooner.
Highly Recommend.
Good efficiency and nice size for travel
I have a liking for these compact fridges due to their attractive design and easy portability, making them a perfect fit for picnics or family camping adventures. Their low wattage consumption is definitely a positive aspect. However, it’s important to note that they might not provide an extremely cold drink as you might anticipate; instead, they’ll offer beverages that are moderately chilled, which is still quite satisfactory. Moreover, these fridges don’t achieve rapid cooling of drinks on the move; it might take a few hours before you experience a significant temperature drop. Despite this, the mini fridge remains a suitable choice for those who are willing to wait a bit to enjoy pleasantly cool drinks.
This is a little cute fridge
I bought this for a long journey,(travelling abroad by car) for my son insulin’s,because we went for two week’s holiday and i had to take 4 weeks worth medication (it’s few packs insulin).
All the way was 35-40 degrees
Anyway we plugged in the car,make sure enough space for the mini fridge no stuff around it.
Honestly it was not very good to use in the car it wasn’t cooling i had to put ice pack inside to make sure keep it cooler all medication.
We plugged in the house and worked perfectly.
Not sure why wasn’t working properly in the car,the ventilation was on in the fridge so it wasn’t the car or the cord fault.
So I don’t know if we will try again next year,or i have to look for something else.
As i said it’s works perfectly in the house but not in the car sadly.
Sorry if my writing is not correct,this is not my first language
Hot and cold , the hot went on without me checking. So always check if hit or cold
Small, effective, good for transporting medicines when on holiday. Can stay cool unplugged if necessary. Tryout yourself before travel, also keep can etc cool.
Pleased with my purchase as beforehand needed to leave in hotel fridge and get ice pack refrozen when temperature likely to go over 30 degrees C
Make up fridge
Love this fridge the only thing is keep finding ice in the bottom of the fridge. Their is no control switch on this fridge. Nice and cold though for my face creams.
I was happy enough with this so far. I tried two room temperature cans in it and it did cool them. They were not “cold” but there were in the acceptable range. Fits 6 standard 330ml cans, you have to slide out the little tray to take longer cans. One thing, this not a Russell Hobbs unit. It’s a trademark used under licence. It’s manual is very poorly written and it is a reboxed, possibly available for less without the name on it. Happy with it for what I spent on i
My grandson loved it!
My grandson is currently using this in his bedroom, but on his next camping trip with his Dad, he is planning to take it with them. His brother now wants one, but he doesn’t have a birthday until December.
Perfec
I use a mini fridge to stop my toddlers milk going off in the night. I was sceptical getting another one as others I’ve used barely got cold. But this one is great! It says 20 degrees below room temp but even in the heatwave it was almost freezing. Couldn’t recommend more
Mini fridge
Wonderful size, slick design and great little handle on top, which makes moving it around super easy. Lightweight and fits well on most surfaces as so small. Fridge noise a little annoying, but I’m used to it now (it’s in my bedroom and I normally like silence to sleep so if you’re the same you may struggle a little). Can freeze at the back if items placed too close, so beware. Does leak a little at times (approx 2-3 dessert spoons of water at a time) which isn’t great if on a wooden surface like mine so best off putting something waterproof underneath. Overall quite impressed and does the job! Never used the hot function, only cold to chill baby bottles and teething rings – gives me quick access at night stopping a long trip downstairs to the kitchen fridge.
This is a great fridge for skincare, my room gets so hot in the summer and everything melts especially my handmade face creams, as you can see from the second picture it’s quite roomy, the Nivea at the bottom is a full size pot, you can pop a face mask in the pocket on the door for a few minutes before use which is great. It’s quiet, like a low small fan, at night you can hear it but it isn’t intrusive. Great product and great price.
Small and useful
The fridge looks smart and is small enough to be discreet. It cools very well and is a great size inside. I have placed mine in my work office. Really love this.
very useful and cute
It is a super cute and adorable fridge. I use mine for storing skincare and a drink in my bedroom. Does build condensation on the inside like any fridge does but is easy to wipe away. The door shelf is smaller than I anticipated and fits eye sheet mask, not a full face mask (obviously depending on what type you get masks will vary in size). Many people have said that it is quiet but I find it to be a low vibrating noise (like a fan on a low setting), the noise doesn’t mind me much as I enjoy background noise but if you are sensitive to noise when you try to fall asleep you may find it irritating. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, I have had it for 2 days and it seems brill so fa
Quiet does the job
Bought this for my father as in care home and wanted something small to keep cola in and chocolate. Excellent job.
It does exactly what it says! Looks good too.
Just the job for our guest suite to keep milk overnight and any medications. Guests can make their own morning cuppa, and store any medicines without venturing downstairs..and carrying hot drinks up two flights of stairs! Perfect!
A great little chiller/warme
Anyone buying one of these units should understand that it’s not a refrigerator or an oven so there’s no knob to control the temperature. Heat is moved out of the unit into the surroundings to chill and moved in when you want to warm things up. So how hot or how cold it gets depends on the surrounding temperature. Unlike a fridge it doesn’t cope with the door being opened and closed a lot.
So if you want to chill milk or drinks overnight in a Premier Inn or keep a few cans cold on a car journey then it’s great. I think if you understand what it does then it’s terrific value and will do a good job. The trouble is my family keep wanting to borrow mine!
I bought this product to keep a few snacks in over summer and was well aware that it wasn’t going to be very big. When the package arrived it was smaller than I thought but the inside of the mini fridge could fit quite a few things in it (a small drink, a tub of fruit and several chocolates on the shelf and in the door). It did frost a little overnight due to the temperature drop in my house but nothing much and could be removed in about 20 seconds. Perfect size for me, very lightweight and holds quite a lot of snacks.
EDIT 5 months later: the frost on the back of the fridge built up over time and reached a point where some of it would defrost occasionally on its on. Unfortunately this leaked out and created permanent water damage (stains and swelling) to the wooden unit where it was being kept. It still keeps items inside cool but could do with being a bit more leak proof on the bottom to stop water leaking out when room temperature fluctuations happen.
Buyers, I recommend placing this mini fridge on a waterproof surface just in case this problem were to happen to you.
Great Little Coole
I bought this for my mother who lives in a nursing home. The price was good and reviews largely positive so I thought I’d give it a go. It has worked well since it was bought and does keep stuff cooler than I expected. There is some noise but it isn’t noticeable.
So far so good.
I bought this as a replacement if a different brand which stopped working after 18 months. I use it to keep milk for my early morning tea in my bedroom. It seems to do the job. It’s quite an attractive little fridge and sits well in my tea tray.
It is perfect for what I need it for, has a slight noise but that is to be expected.
I liked that it was small and easy to carry with a carry handle. I found it useful that I could plug it into my car and it came with a normal plug.
Great wee fridge
Ive used this fridge 3 times st itsneen great for hotel stop overs really quite quiet compare to my last and keeps the item cool not frozen this time i used it was a over night wedding and kept the breast milk cool for the baby as a was quite annoyed about using it it qas a blessing in disguise highly recommended it 10/10 for us
Fine for cooling general food &drinks
As in my title,
Very good build quality & nice finish but not suitable for storing medications as it can sometimes freeze some liquids as there is no way to control the temperature but it is what it is store
coke etc but nothing serious.
Great small fridge
Very pleased with purchase. Was looking for a small fridge to store milk in my bedroom. In a room temperature, the temperature in the fridge is just the right level. The bottles are really cold. The size also makes the fridge energy efficient. The removable shelf is handy as I can put a taller bottle. Ideal solution if you need to store few small bottles as it does not take much space at all. It also looks nice.
Works well
My son has this in his bedroom. Good for keeping drinks cold.
Does the job ice-ly
Bought to store baby milk overnight. Quite small, could hold about 3 bottles (160ml) at a time once you remove the shelf. Cooling and warming functions work great and no issues so far (after a couple of weeks use every night). Lightweight and easy to use – plug in and flip the switch at the back to the desired function. Unobtrusive and pleasant design.
Works well in the ca
Works well in the car and also on the mains unit. Keeps food and medicine cool no problem.
So cool!
I really love this product. I think the idea is truly amazing. I used it as a fridge predominantly. Once I took out the little rack there was enough space to hold a small carton of milk with space left over. It got cold enough that after a while you could see little ice crystals forming. It also functioned well as a heater. It has a safety measure where it clicks off if it becomes too hot. Overall super easy to use and a handy thing to have.
Cute little fridge
This is a great little product…just what I needed whilst my kitchen is being refitted. The plug is a bit tricky to connect to the back of the fridge…connection not great and the connector to use the fridge in your car ( not that I need to ) fits to a cigarette lighter….do cars still have a cigarette lighter ?? Aoart from that a good temporary measure
Great for Milk and Butte
These electronic mini fridges are promoted as make up fridges, so I was not confident it would be any good for milk. I originally bought a mini fridge of a different make, it was 15 more expensive and had all the gadgets, and claimed a greater cooling capacity. I didn’t work so returned it no problem.
This fridge works, you can see on the video the frost on the cooling plate. It is on a boat, we have a cool box but this little addition of a great, 12v and mains it is perfect for keeping milk fresh.
This branded mini fridge, doesn’t claim to be the best, but the honest claims are not exaggerated. Very happy!
Supe
This fridge is fantastic for what we need it for easy to use and very lightweight and a good price too
Super little fridge
It is ideal for travel as it can be used in the car via a cigarette socket {12v} & in the hotel room via a mains cable {240v} both of which are supplied. We kept fresh milk for drinks rather than use the hotel provided fake milk. Although the unit is small we had two 1 pint plastic bottles of milk inside, with plenty of room left for the obligatory pack of mini rollos. We tested at home before travelling & managed a temperature of about +2 deg C, once we moved it away from a nearby radiator’s influence, the milk stayed cold for the duration of our four day trip. The fridge has a slight hum during operation, but this did not keep us awake, quite the opposite we think.
Great little fridge
Fridge is great basically.
I just wanna address potential drawbacks incase someone is unsure. Regardless its a great fridge and it comes with a car adaptor which was an unexpected bonus! This will come in handy!
It makes a little noise but it’s really quiet, you’d only really notice it if everything else was dead silent. I keep mine in my room and it doesn’t interrupt my sleep or anything.
Only kind of downside is the ice that forms after a little while, maybe within a week. It’s not too much so just empty it and let the ice melt and its all good.
Make sure you do close the door properly tho, if it’s a bit open then the ice will melt a bit and water will go everywhere. Closing the door is obvious advice I know, and thankfully it makes a clear sound when the latch is closed.
I say this only because someone else was angry that water came out and damaged some stuff. It’s likely that the door wasn’t closed so the ice melted, or something leaked.
Smaller than you think
You can see thevsize with a normal tin of Fanta in it.
Very good little fridge
This item arrived quicker than expected & well packed.
My previous mini fridge was a SUBCOLD which worked well I thought but broke down after two years.
Replaced it with this one and it is a lot better. It is a little smaller than the SUBCOLD equivlant but noticable colder. Very pleased with it & it serves my needs just fine. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic
This lil fridge is so cute
We can fit 6 330ml coke cans in there and it gets cold really quick!
Haven’t tried it on the heater setting yet tho
It’s amazing!
Requested
Requested for Xmas Present and they are very happy with it.
Perfect little fridge
Lovely little fridge for my 12 year old. Works brilliantly, keeps everything very cold for the odd bottle of water he has in his room. Delighted with this. A low humming sound but it’s more like white noise, so nice and relaxing for him.
Compact & Does the Job
When the item arrived I was somewhat skeptical as it wasn’t as big as I had hoped.
I had to remove a x2 shelves to make space enough for some small items.
It does however work exactly like a normal fridge and suffice to say keeps things even colder.
Size wise its not great but as a cooler / mini fridge it definitely delivers.
The weight is light and it’s easy to carry.
Build quality is great
In short it does well.
Best thing eve
I take it everywhere. Staying in hotels means I can have fresh milk in my drinks. I love it.
My Granddaughter loves it!!!
See above – the envy of her friends – and her Nanny!
Very handy
We used this mini fridge to store my baby’s bottles while on holidays. You can choose cold or hot. Haven’t used the hot option but the cold one gets really cold so very happy with the purchase. It has a lead to connect in the car too so we can now take it with us and store bottles when we do long journeys. I saw some reviews talking about the noise but honestly I haven’t heard anything
Small coole
Exactly what my Granddaughter wanted, lightweight but sturdy lovely to look at .very impressed
Keeps things really cold
Very impressed with this fridge bought for my son for Xmas. Keeps his drinks and choc in and they came out super cold as he wanted can fit 6 normal size cans i
Great Xmas prese
Good enough mini fridge for my daughter, bit bigger would have been better but she is happy enough with i
Mini Fridge
Granddaughter loved this gift. Quiet & great size. Impressed cans & face masks chilled within an hour! Would recommend
Very small fridge
Wanted something to keep milk cold at work. Would of liked it to be a bit taller so we could get in a 2 pint bottle but it fits a 1 pint carton in nicely so just have to go to the shop more. Keeps it nice and cold but cannot comment on the warmer part of it as not used
Great little fridge
Hubby used this for his drink cans- makes life much easie

Perfect for night feeds
Used to keep baby bottles in room overnight to save going downstairs. The quiet noise doesnt bother me and lm a light sleeper. It holds 4 small bottles at a squeeze.
Nice little fridge
Not yet used as it is gift for my husband. Looks good and can fit in few drinks/cans..smaller than I expected but this is my fault for not checking size before order. Would recommend
Really nice design and good temperature control
I have not filled it with cans and a chocolate bar but it is on and cooling my food.
It’s really easy to assemble, turn on, clean, and carry.
‘just the job’
We use this fridge to keep our tea and coffee milk cool when we stay at Premier inn which don’t have them, it is a god-send. We hate those small UHT pods which they normally supply. It is pretty quiet and cools more than adequately.
Useful but a bit noisy
Small but handy for emergencies, days out, etc. Can be powered from the mains or a 12v supply. Fan runs continually so you wouldn’t want to use it in a noisy room. You also need to be careful about positioning as it blows really quite hot air out of the rear.
Get's nice and cold
Amazing little fridge, keeps drinks ice cold. I bought the little mini cans and managed to fit 8 of those, including medicine and some face masks on the side!
Great for Travelling
My husband takes this to work with him when he has to work away, to keep a small selection of things cool during his trip. He says it works well and is happy with the quality and taste of the food when it’s been stored in there for a few days.
