Overview
The Antarctic Star LY1904 is a 4-liter, 6-can mini fridge with a gaming LED light frame, built for a desk, nightstand, dorm, or car via AC or 12V DC power.
It's sized and priced as a personal cooler rather than a true refrigerator, and owner experience splits on how cold it actually gets. Several reviewers are satisfied with a modest cooling effect for drinks and skincare, while at least one measured it reaching only about 50°F, well short of true refrigeration.
- 4-liter, 6-can capacity
- AC/DC dual power supply
- Rated around 25dB noise level
- Removable shelf for flexible storage
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants a small, quiet cooler for drinks, snacks, or cosmetics on a desk or nightstand, especially where the LED light is a bonus. Not a fit for storing anything that needs consistently cold, food-safe temperatures, such as perishables or medication.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Most reviewers are happy with it as a small, quiet cooler for energy drinks, sodas, or skincare and like the optional LED light frame. The consistent criticism is cooling power: it's described as reaching a cool rather than cold temperature, and one buyer measured it stalling around 50°F and returned it. Buyers who set expectations at cool rather than cold report satisfaction; those expecting refrigerator-level cold are more likely to be disappointed.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms and offices
- Optional gaming LED light frame
- Runs on AC or 12V car power
- Compact enough for a desk or nightstand
- Cooling tops out well above true refrigerator temperatures
- Only holds about 6 cans
- Not reliable for food safety storage
Performance notes
The cooling system brings the interior down below ambient room temperature rather than to true refrigerator cold, and reviews reflect that split: some describe items coming out noticeably cold, while one owner measured only about 50°F with ice cubes melting inside. Noise is consistently described as low, with one review noting a small buzz rather than a loud hum. The 4-liter capacity holds about 6 cans, with a couple of reviewers fitting slightly more by packing carefully.
