Our verdict

A simple, efficient compact fridge for drinks and snacks in a dorm, office or RV. Manual defrost and limited shelving mean a little more upkeep and less room to organize.

Overview

A student in a dorm or a worker with a private office gets a small fridge with a separate chiller compartment, a wire shelf and a door shelf. A mechanical thermostat sets the cold level, and adjustable legs level the cabinet on uneven floors.

Energy Star efficiency and a flush back that lets it stand close to a wall make it easy to tuck into a small room. Frost has to be cleared by hand, and the chiller compartment has no listed freezing temperature, so treat it as a drinks and snacks fridge.

Who it's for

Students, office workers and RV owners get cold drinks and snacks in a small, efficient box. Those planning to store frozen food, or who dislike manual defrosting, should choose a model with a separate freezer door.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Energy Star efficient
  • Adjustable legs for uneven floors
  • Flush back stands close to walls
  • Separate chiller compartment
Cons
  • Manual defrost needs regular attention
  • Single wire shelf limits organizing
  • Annual energy use not listed

Performance notes

A compressor driven by a mechanical thermostat cools the cabinet, so the dial setting and the room temperature decide how cold the shelf gets. With manual defrost, frost gathers around the chiller over time and a thick layer cuts cooling, so defrosting on a routine matters.
