This was fantastic for me. I needed to keep my medication cool and there was no mini bar in our room. This did the trick and was neat and portable. I also bought a little thermometer to check the temperature.
Your personal mini bar.
For some reason, a lot of hotels in Ireland don’t have an in room fridge.
I’ve been using this fridge to keep our drinks cool in those situations.
It will fit 4 0.5 cans with no problem if you remove the door shelve.
Great, cannot even hear it in the room I have placed it in. Which is odd because I also purchased the same brand in another colour which is really loud.
Is light weight so very easy to move around. It is spacious enough for cans of drink. the value for money could be better. The performance is amazing and keeps my things fresh.
I do a lot of working away and this is a lifesaver, I have easily saved around 50 so far on hotel drinks and I haven’t had it long.
Holds up to 6 cans or 4 bottles of water, I was really surprised how cold it can ge
This is ideal for the car. It’s quite small so check dimensions to make sure it’s big enough for what you need. We thought it was ideal as we specifically didn’t want one that was taking up much room in the car. Very pleased with it and will be handy for bringing home chilled items that we’ve bought from the market.
: Before anyone panics when they open the box thinking it’s come without a power cable, it comes pre-packed inside the cooler (which is taped shut).

I haven’t tried the warming feature as I got this to keep my drinks cold, not warm (though it’s a nice bonus and it might come in handy at some point), but for keeping your drinks cold it does a brilliant job! It also operates rather quietly, so much so that it’s in my bedroom and it doesn’t bother me whilst I’m sleeping.
Furthermore, it’s a nice compact size and the model colour I got (Scandi Grey), has a smart look to it too.
Very good value for money.
Bought this to be able to have cold milk for multiple cups of tea whilst away in a hotel for three nights (and hotels never put enough milk capsules or tea bags out)
The fridge kept 2 small pints of milk cold whilst travelling in a car for 4 hours and in the room, it was also nice and quiet overnight
Would highly recommend
I thought it’d be more interesting to have a mini fridge on the table to keep my drinks cold instead of messing about with making ice cubes. However, the fridge doesn’t get the drinks anywhere near as cold as could be obtained from using ice, but it still keeps them at an acceptable coldness for me.
I don’t know what it is about this thing but it’s so damn cute, also keeps things cold fast! I barely left it on for 15 mins and the temp recorded as around -0C. I’ve not used the “hot” setting yet, not really sure why I would even use that, also it’s got a handle at the top floor make carrying it around easier. It’s pretty quiet, I can hear the fan if I’m in the room but it’s a gentle soft whooshing.
Very nice design and works perfectly! Couldn’t ask for better 🙂
Bought this fridge now that we’re travelling more often. My son is diabetic so it’s really handy to keep his insulin and milk cool while on the roads. I’m even more impressed with how cold it actually gets. When taking his milk out, it’s just as cold as it would be when it comes out of our usual fridge at home. It’s so stylish and compact. Comes with 2 cables, one for a wall socket and one for the lighter ignition for the car. Worth every penny! Highly recommend
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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
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
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.
Purchased for my daughter for Christmas, we take it everywhere on the can to have cold drinks etc. Great value
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
So i bought this for my teenage son he wanted it store his treats and a few cans of pop. You can’t hear it when it is turned on which is a bonus. Its serves its purpose
I raw feed my dog and with the warmer weather we’ve been having we’ve been needing to keep the food in a fridge which I didn’t want in our fridge mixed with our food so purchased him his own little fridge to keep his meals in. I divide up 3 little bowls and fill with a meal in each and can keep a days worth of food in there for him. Very pleased with it. It’s neat, light and easy to move around and keeps a good cool temperature for his food. Not sure how much it costs to run. Pretty sure mini fridges aren’t that energy efficient. The bill this month was 13 more than normal but that could have just been our usual usage being more than normal can’t imagine such a small fridge would cost that much a month to run as it was only left on in the day for a few hours. I like that it comes with a cigarette car charger adapter too so if we go away we can keep his meals for the day on the way up cool in the car.
Brought for granddaughter 11th birthday and she loves it
Uses to put her chocolate in and fruit juice
Need something quickly after the heatwave caused my fridge to not work . Great to use and easy to use
V handy – although it generated some noise, I turn it off before going to bed.
It’s great for a room when travelling to keep my insulin in and a couple of drinks, after all it would be rude not to.
Bought this for my father as in care home and wanted something small to keep cola in and chocolate. Excellent job.
Excellent design and operation for what it does. Appreciate how small it is before ordering. Only disadvantage condensation pools inside. Ultra quiet operation.
Good looking. Simple. Straightforward handle. This was bought for partner with Alzheimer’s disease. In bedroom next to his to give access to cool drinks in the night to give freedom of choice and independence. Saves negotiating stairs with risk of falls. The fan is very quiet but because of anxiety with Alzheimer’s it cannot be in his room. But definitely a pleasing product that made him smile – not a lot to smile about in his condition so definitely worth a hundred and five stars.
I was hesitant before purchasing when reading about everyone complaining the fan noise is more than a corded or cordless fan, and they were so right! However, I had to compromise the noise over the practicality and glad I made the purchase. It’s been very useful on long trips without needing to stop over at the expensive motorway services. I hook it up to my portable power station which runs it for 8 hours, even more if it’s a larger power station.
way too small. had to return it as it wouldn’t hold more than a couple of cans at best. picture makes it look much bigger than it actually is
Sleek design and compact. Easy to move around. The removable shelf is helpful so that bigger cans can fit in properly. Temperature gets cool very quickly. Occasionally if the fridge is completely full and left for a few days without opening, there is a slight build up of condensation at the back wall and water in base of fridge. Need to check regularly as it did slightly leak once.
The motor/fan at the back of the fridge is a little bit loud, but other than that overall pleased with this product.
Love this fridge, it’s compact and lightweight perfect for storing medication. On the downside it is a little louder than expected as I have it my bedroom. The slotted compartment on the door is very thin. Overall a great buy.
It’s a beautifully made little thing. Cools better than my actual fridge! I only have two problems with it:
1. “Small” doesn’t do it justice. Drinks the size of an energy drink; Lucozade, CocaCola, etc, will not fit standing up. You can fit one drink if you cram it in diagonally, that’s it. If you want more use, it really has to be cans or drink, or maybe something like a couple of triangular sandwiches.
2. It’s very loud. That’s the biggest thing that prevents this from being a great little bedroom fridge, many people will get very tired of the noise.
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.
Bought for my son’s bedroom to store a couple of drinks/snacks in. Nice compact little fridge. Keeps things reasonably cool. Not used the heat function yet. Only slight downside is that it does tend to accumulate a little water/dampness inside the fridge, so have to keep mopping this up every now and then.
