Many people are apprehensive to buy a mini fridge knowing that many of these appliances do not have a freezer feature. While this is often true, there are also mini fridges that have built in separate freezer – usually mounted on top.

If you are looking for a mini refrigerator with accompanying freezer functionality, then don’t choose those portable mini fridges that have a capacity of 5 cu. ft. or under. They are generally the ones that only offer refrigeration features, but no freezer features.

Choose a mini refrigerator that has two-doorse (one for the refrigerator and one for freezer) with capacity of at least 7 cu. ft. up but not more than 14 cu. ft. Usually the best deals for this specific design are for sizes in between these two extremes.

Mini refrigerators (otherwise referred to as portable refrigerators or compact fridges) are a special type  of refrigerator that combines space saving features with functionality and portability. To meet the increasing demands of todays fast paced world, mini fridges are oftentimes preferred over standard sized models because it is easy to carry or move them around from one place to the other.

The smallest portable fridges you will come across with are those that can only accommodate 1.6 cu. ft. capacity more or less, like Frigidaire’s LFP16M4LB compact fridge or Koolatron’s Coca-Cola fridges that can hold up to 28 beverage cans. But be warned that these types of mini fridges don’t have dual refrigerator-freezer functionality.
