Commercial Cool CCR16W Compact Refrigerator 1.6 cu ft

Overview

The Commercial Cool CCR16W is a 1.6 cu ft single door mini fridge with a small chiller compartment, built for dorms, offices or bedside use with R600a refrigerant and adjustable leveling legs.

The door shelving looks roomier than it functions: the wire guard on the door lets anything larger than a can slip out when it opens, so plan on using the interior shelf for bottles and taller items. The chiller compartment is meant for light freezing (an ice tray, freezer packs) rather than food storage, and at least one buyer found it didn't keep lunch meat cold enough to stay safe.

• 1.6 cu ft single door compact refrigerator
• R600a refrigerant with adjustable thermostat
• Half-width chiller compartment and ice tray
• Full-width slide-out wire shelf

Who it's for

Suits dorm, office or bedside use for drinks, snacks and items like insulin that need steady, moderate cold rather than deep freezing. Not for anyone planning to store meat or perishables in the small chiller section, or needing precise digital temperature control.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

An R600a compressor cools the main compartment with an adjustable thermostat, while a half-width chiller section and ice tray handle light freezing separate from the main cavity. A full-width slide-out wire shelf and adjustable leveling legs help it sit level and store items of different sizes inside the main compartment.
