Overview
A two-door compact refrigerator with 3.1 cubic feet of total capacity and a separate 0.87 cubic foot freezer, sized for a bedroom, dorm, office, or bar where a full kitchen fridge will not fit.
- 3.1 cubic feet total capacity with 0.87 cubic foot freezer
- Vegetable crisper with cover and one tempered glass shelf
- Interior light and mechanical thermostat
- 18 in W x 20 in D x 33 in H footprint
Who it's for
Fits people who need real frozen storage, not just an ice tray, in a small footprint: college students, remote workers with a home office, or anyone adding a second fridge to a bedroom or rec room. Not for anyone who needs enough capacity to stock a family's groceries.
Pros and cons
- Separate freezer door keeps frozen and fresh storage apart
- Runs quiet once it reaches set temperature
- Held up over two years unattended
- Compressor is noticeable during the initial cooldown
- Defrost cycle runs slowly
- Multiple buyers received units with shipping damage or dents
Performance notes
One owner left it running unattended for two years through a power outage and found the contents still frozen, though they noted the defrost cycle runs slowly.
