Our verdict

A compressor mini fridge with a reversible door, can dispenser and a small freezer compartment that suits a dorm or RV. Defrosting is manual, so expect to scrape the freezer now and then.

Overview

Stocking a dorm room, bedroom or RV with cold drinks is the job of the NewAir compact fridge, a freestanding single door unit with a small freezer compartment inside. A compressor does the cooling, and the door can be reversed to open from either side.

Interior layout is the reason to look: adjustable wire shelves, a can dispenser and a slot for a tall soda bottle make a small cabinet hold more. Freezer space is a compartment behind the main door, so it chills more than it stores frozen food.

Who it's for

Students, renters and van owners who want cold drinks and a little frozen space in one room will get use from it. People who want a frost free freezer or a separate freezer door should choose another design.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Can dispenser and spot for a tall bottle
  • Adjustable wire shelves for taller items
  • Reversible door suits either side
  • Energy Star certified compressor cooling
Cons
  • Manual defrost means periodic scraping
  • Freezer compartment shares the single door
  • Small freezer space for frozen meals
  • Heavy to move between rooms

Performance notes

Cooling comes from a compressor regulated by an adjustable thermostat, so the set point governs how cold drinks get. Frost gathers in the freezer compartment over time under manual defrost, and a thick layer cuts usable space and efficiency until it is scraped away.

Frequently asked questions

Can the NewAir NRF033BK00 mini fridge run in an RV?
