Top 10 best blue mini fridge 2022 pick by experts

UPDATE: 4 months in and it’s still working great and I’m still very happy with it.I bought this because my 10 year old Igloo died suddenly (not TOO suddenly, I had already talked about buying a new one in the next month or so) and I needed something ASAP. It’s not exactly what I would have liked (I’m not a fan of the can holder thing. I’d rather have shelves. Also, the freezer is generally a waste of space but try to find one without on short notice) but it’s basically what I had before so I can work with it.It arrived today. I pulled it out of the box and like most large appliances, it sits on a base and the box slides over top then they wrap it in heavy plastic straps to hold it together. I immediately noticed that it had been dented on the top corner however, there was no damage to the box in that area. None. Not a wrinkle. It feels like it was damaged BEFORE being boxed and maybe that’s why so many arrive damaged – because it’s happening before it’s even shipped and Amazon can’t see it because it’s in a nice new box. You’ll notice if you look at the picture there’s a bit of rust on it. That didn’t happen between Thursday and Saturday.Sure, I could return it for a new one but that means dragging it through the house again, figuring out how to get it back in the box and then, figuring out how to get the box to stay together since I don’t have the ability to create new heavy duty plastic straps and tape is NOT going to cut it. I was not happy.I contacted Amazon and told them what had happened and they graciously offered me a choice between keeping it and being given a partial refund or returning it for a new one. Given my previous paragraph, you can guess what I chose.So now that I’d gotten that out of the way it was time to set it up and then plug it in. First then, because of the placement, I need it to open from the other side. While I was able to do it, they didn’t make it easy. The plastic part that covers where the door connects on the top was a giant PITA to remove. I basically had to pry at it with a flat head screw driver and slightly damage the plastic in doing so. They are not alone in this though. Every refrigerator I’ve had or seen pretty much has the same problem. I had hoped that since they specifically pointed out that it had a reversible door, maybe they had done something to make it easier. Nope. Then while trying to screw in the bottom bracket for the door, I found that the hole had been sealed by insulating foam. I just hit it a few times with a small screwdriver until it popped through. Once I got past that, the rest was pretty straightforward and the door now swings open from the other side.Now that I was ready to go, I moved it into place and leveled it off and then plugged it in. Nice and quiet. Very quiet. SO quiet I’m concerned it’s not working… but it seems to be doing alright. I opened the door and was surprised to see a light! I thought I must have missed that in the description when I bought it but going back I can’t find it anywhere. So, BONUS! Having the light is really nice and I’m glad it has it. Next, I pulled out the manual and drip tray then started to arrange the shelves . That’s when I noticed something odd. The drip tray didn’t slide in under the freezer like it should. It was too small. Turns out, that’s a feature not a bug. Apparently you’re just supposed to either set the tray on the top shelf permanently or take it out and only put it in when you need it. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Nothing in the description prepared me for it and it’s certainly not like that in the images. But that’s how it is now. You can see that mine doesn’t resemble the images shown. I really don’t mind the idea of the drip tray being separate, I just wish they had a place to PUT it. That would make sense, right? One nice thing about having the drip tray with a mini-fridge like this is that often times things on the top shelf will freeze slightly. I used the drip tray in my other fridge to hold a piece of styrofoam that partially insulated what was underneath and it helped quite a bit.The temperature dial on mine is way off. It goes from 0-6 but mine goes well past 6, to what might be 11. Does that mean that mine is colder than everyone else’s? Is it some kind of psychological thing to make me *feel* like it’s colder? Is it just broken? Is it just missing the numbers? I’ll probably never know. What I do know is that it’s plenty cold and it stays that way, all while making (what feels like) almost no noise.This feels like a solid purchase. I hope it stays that way!

The product had a defective handle. I purchased this in the middle of July. When I took it to my classroom and tried to assemble the handles, I noticed there was a plastic piece on one of the handles where I could not attach it. I am mediately contacted the customer service number and was told that I needed to send an email to the support center. I did that at the end of July. It is now going on the end of September and they still have not resolve this issue. All I’m asking for is a replacement handle to be sent to me. It is not that hard to resolve the situation!! The product itself works very well and I’m happy with it. I’m not happy that I don’t have a handle for my freezer door!! 🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡 i’m not happy that it’s taking over two months now and I still don’t even know when the light at the end of the tunnel is going to appear! I do not recommend this company at all! I have even had Amazon involved in the attempts to remedy this problem. Amazon was not having any success either!Update: end of October and still NOTHING!

EDIT: After leaving this review, the company reached out to me offering to send us a new fridge. That being said, I am changing my review from 2 stars to 4 stars for the customer service! Hopefully it was just a fluke and this new fridge lasts!I bought this for my fiancé for Christmas last year to keep in his game room with some snacks and drinks. It has been in use for less than a year and now no longer works. The switch to change the fridge from the cool to warm option is stuck on cool, but the light does not turn on and neither does the fridge. This is no longer usable, and did not last nearly as long as I had hoped. Originally, I was pretty happy with the purchase (aside from it being a little smaller than I was expecting) because it would work well for the space I needed it for. But now I am incredibly disappointed as we are going to have to throw it away and it seems like I wasted my money and should have just bought a slightly more expensive one that would have been larger and would have lasted longer.

This mini fridge is a perfect addition to my man cave/garage. Looks awesome and I’m very happy with it.Something always happens in shipping though. This was my second unit and it was slightly dented in the back. The first one was completely smashed on all sides and the coolant line was busted. Leaving the box it came in soaked in freon. Also, the amazon photos make this fridge appear to be better quality than they actually are. Lastly I can’t use the bottle opener because it’s on the wrong side. So I didn’t even bother installing it. There should be a Left or Right option for that particular accessory. Overall good buy and happy with it!

Like the title says, the product is great! Came exactly as advertised, cools very quickly and fairly quiet. There is a slight hum that comes from the fridge while running, but nothing that will drive me crazy. The only issue I have run into is that the front handle won’t click into place, which is super irritating, and makes it impossible to open without ripping it right off. Nothing some gorilla glue won’t fix though (I’m too lazy to return or get replacement parts) will update if anything changes

My daughter loves this thing. As her dad I don’t know what it’s for lol, but she is soooo happy I got it for her makeup, and says it is perfect 🙂

There is a dent in the freezerdoor where the box was damaged.

Got it for using in the car during trips. For a portable fridge I wasn’t expecting much in size but still thought it could fit more stuff. I mean, it works great if you just put cans inside but for trying to fit different products it gets tricky. Although I used it for classical Coke glass bottles and it fit great. Also I think it works better indoors and when the weather is mild to chilli (I used for extra space in a hotel room) but don’t expect miracles using it in the car during a beach trip in the summer, because stuff don’t get so cold. Plus, it’s a little noisy, indeed, not enough to bother me but be conscious about that. It’s ok but I consider it useful at least for my needs.

It replaced a mystery brand that claimed to heat or cool; and the replaced unit failed due to what looked like a cold solder join in the power/cold/heat switch that overheated and melted after a year or so.This does cool only. So far works just fine, I know it won’t work as well in the summer in my van for obvious reasons. It works keeping drinks below room (van) temp, but don’t expect your stick of butter to be firm and stick-shaped in a van in Arizona in July. 🙂

The Tea: it’s tiny which is great for a desk, it does chill but it’s not “cold”. Although I do love this cute little fridge, it doesn’t fit half the beauty needs for a cozy bed time routine. You’re gonna wish it had a light on the mirror but it’s not bad. Just not right for me 😁
