Midea WHS-65LB1 Mini Fridge 1.6 cu ft

Overview

A student in a dorm or an office worker who wants cold drinks within reach gets a single-door compressor fridge that stands on its own. The door can be hung to open from either side, and an internal chiller compartment holds items that need to stay colder than the main shelf.

Cold drinks and a few snacks fit in a footprint that slides under a desk or beside a bed, and the door swing can be flipped to suit the room. Storage is limited to one wire shelf, one door shelf and the chiller pocket, so it will not hold a week of groceries.

Who it's for

Short-term cold storage next to where you work or sleep is the situation this fridge serves, with the compressor and automatic defrost handling upkeep. Households that want frozen food held for weeks, or a second fridge for bulk shopping, should look at a larger two-door unit.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Cooling comes from a reciprocating compressor, so the box reaches and holds its set temperature in a warm room and the thermostat decides how hard it runs. Automatic defrost clears frost from the chiller compartment without unplugging. The single wire shelf fixes how tall items can stand, and the door swing choice decides which way it opens against a wall.
