Actually, this is not a fridge. The maximum (lowest) cooling temperature is 20 degrees celsius. I wanted a small fridge, so was really disappointed. Good as a heat preservation box, though.

Be warned. This is not a refrigerator though the packaging and the description here call it a "portable mini-fridge". Indeed it is technically not refrigerator at all since it does not have a condensing unit but uses some type of capacitors to make the temperature inside the box a bit lower or higher than outside of the box. It doesn't really cool things and it doesn't really warm things though it is also described here as a "Cooler Warmer" That seems a bit more accurate since it can cool things a bit and warm things a bit though it certainly cannot cool a warm can of Coke to drinking temperature nor heat up a can of soup. The best description of this thing might be "Device that somewhat slows the warming of cool things and somewhat slows the cooling of warm things."

You don't need this.

As noted by other reviewers, this is neither fridge nor warmer oven. It is a "cooler/warmer" which is something I doubt anyone one wants or needs. This device has a tiny fan and maybe a little compressor and heating element. It is capable of slowing the warming of already cold items or, in the warm mode, slowing the cooling of already warm items. It is not capable of cooling warm items (like a can of soda) nor capable or warming cold items. I cannot think of any practical use for it nor I bet can many other people...which is why it is being sold by a liquidator.

I bought this mini fridge to keep drinks and snacks cold at work, replacing the smaller one that I had that quit after about 2 years. I've used it for almost a month now and I think it works great. It's quiet and really roomy compared to the smaller mini fridges that only fit 6 cans. I put a few bottles of water and drinks in it in the morning, turn it on, and all through the day everything is kept icy cold. I have even put room temperature drinks in it in the morning and within a few hours they are cold as well. I think it helps to extend the life of the product if you do not leave it on 24 hours a day, so I shut it off when I go home every night. This little fridge is really great for office use.

I was just looking for something small to put under my desk in my office to keep my lunch cold (you know, sandwich, yogurt, standard stuff). The unit is a great size, but really doesn't get cold enough. I kept this running for 3-4 days, thinking that maybe it needed to gear up for a while and get colder, but no luck. The back wall of the unit gets pretty cool, but the inside cavity does not. I finally had to return it and was told I'd only get a full refund if the unit was defective. They ended up charging me a 20% or so "restocking fee" for the return and said they tested it and that it worked fine for what I had been trying to use it for. I respectfully disagree. If you're looking for something to get soda about 10 degrees colder than room temperature, this is your product. If you're looking for a small fridge for your office, keep looking.

I ordered this to use in my classroom. It is very lightweight and easy to carry, especially with the handle. But, you should know it isn't a fridge. It only cools things 20 degrees below the temperature of the room. If I put warm soda in there, it gets cool, but not cold. However, when I put a cold soda (from my fridge at home) into it, it keeps it very cold. I still like it, but it is something to know.

I bought this to keep bottles in the baby's room (and hopefully avoid trips downstairs to the kitchen fridge in the middle of the night). It seems to do absolutely nothing. I understand that it is only intended to cool to 20 degrees below the room temperature, but when I plug this device in, all it does is make the quiet hum that you would expect from a mini-fridge, but doesn't cool anything or heat anything, or even keep cold things cool or warm things warm. This device was a complete failure.

This is a waste of time and money! If you want to cool a drink fine, it will not chill anything! The coldest it will get is about 20 degrees cooler than room temp. Do not buy this item!

I bought this mini fridge based on the reviews and the size of it but I was highly disappointed. It BARELY cools the items in the cooler and there is no temperature setting to make it colder or warmer, just a switch "cool,off,and warm". Also the company will charge you a 25% restocking fee to return the item so that means if you choose to return it you are out $22.50 plus the cost of shipping it back which will probably cost 22 dollars as well. So now you are out 45 bucks at least. Trust me do not buy this product.

Nothing wrong with it. I used it for traveling in hotels that don't have enough space in the fridge. It keeps things cool and warm. Not an actual fridge - so don't expect it to freeze things, just good for keeping food and drinks warm and cool. It would work for warming baby formula.
