Koolatron Mini Fridge 6 Can

Overview

The Koolatron KRT04-G is the dual-mode version of Koolatron's 4 liter retro mini fridge, cooling to about 32°F below room temperature or switching to a warm mode up to 135°F. It holds six 12 oz cans and runs on either a 110V wall outlet or a 12V car plug.

Where the KRT04-P only chills, this G model adds a heat function, useful for keeping a bottle warm rather than just cold.

• 4 liter capacity, holds six 12 oz cans
• Cools to about 32°F below room temperature or warms to 135°F
• 110V AC and 12V DC power for home or vehicle use
• Retro rounded shell with metallic hinges and twist handle

Who it's for

Good for someone who wants one small unit that can both chill drinks or cosmetics and warm something like a bottle, kept on a desk, dorm shelf, or bathroom counter. It is not sized or intended for real food storage.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The same CFC-free thermoelectric core as the cooling-only model runs in reverse for the warm setting, moving heat into the cabin instead of out of it, up to about 135°F. Cooling performance is otherwise similar: fast enough for six cans, but governed by room temperature rather than a set target.
