Our verdict

A single-door compact fridge with a built-in freezer compartment and glass shelves for a dorm, office or den. The freezer shares the one door, so frozen storage is limited and there is no lock.

Overview

Not a two-door fridge freezer, this is a single-door compact cabinet with a freezer compartment built in. A compressor cools the box, a magnetic gasket seals the door, which can be rehung to open from either side, and tempered glass shelves lift out for cleaning.

Glass shelves, a reversible door and adjustable legs make it easy to place in a corner where door swing matters, and frost-free defrost spares the chore of chipping ice. The freezer is a compartment behind the same door, so cold escapes each time you reach for a drink, and there is no lock for shared spaces.

Who it's for

A den, rec room, office or home bar where drinks and snacks need cooling and a few frozen items need a home. Anyone storing a large frozen stock, or sharing the fridge somewhere a lock matters, should look at a two-door unit with a separate freezer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Removable tempered glass shelves
  • Adjustable legs for uneven floors
  • Energy Star rated
  • Magnetic door seal
Cons
  • No door lock
  • Freezer shares the single door
  • Freezer capacity not listed separately
  • Shelves listed as both glass and wire

Performance notes

A rotary compressor and refrigerant circuit pull heat out of the cabinet, so recovery after the door opens depends on room temperature and how long it stays open. The frost-free cycle clears ice from the freezer compartment without manual thawing. Adjustable legs let the cabinet stand level, which the magnetic gasket needs to close evenly.
