The mini fridge is very cute, my coworkers all have a good laugh over it. It helps keep an already chilled beverage cool longer than if it was just sitting on my desk, but if you insert a warm soda and put it in the mini fridge overnight, in the morning you'll have... a slightly less warm soda. So, it's good if I want to bring a couple sodas from the kitchen to my desk, drink one and keep one in the mini fridge for a little later, but no good at chilling off a warm soda.

Got one of these for a christmas present for someone. It hought it would be a cool Idea, and on paper it looks cool. In practice though, it just doesn't work.
The problem is, this version of the device doesn't actually cool, it's a passive cooling system rather than an active one, it has a fan to remove heat from a heat sync, but that's it.
There is a different version that has a peltier type cooler in it as well, the active one should work better, and I think it cost a similar price to what this one once did (paid $24 for mine originally)
It does look neat though, maybe if someone was a coke nut, and their drink is already cool, it may help keep it cooler longer, but don't expect to get a room temperature soda down to a nice cool level.
May be a neat hack project or something (if you put the cooler on top instead of on bottom, it might work better) but I wouldn't recommend buying this version.

Purchased this for a colleague and it looks great sitting on his desk. Sadlly it doesn't do much to actually cool his drink - it emerges from the mini USB fridge slightly cooler than room temperature. Disappointing.

A disappointment
We bought this for our son for Christmas -- one of those things that isn't really necessary but seemed like fun for someone who likes electronics. Read more

Doesn't work
I'm really sad about it too. It looks so cute, but it didn't really make or keep the soda can cold. Amazing idea, just needs improvement.

Fail
This thing is completely useless. It's true it has a cooling plate, but unless you planning on having a luke warm soda, don't buy it.

Works Well
The product does exactly what it says it will and was a cute novelty surprise for My Person to have on his desk at work to keep that one single can cold all day. Read more

ehhh... ok
Bought for my hubby, he likes fun quirky desk tech items, keeps it cold but the only thing that keeps cool is the bottom of the can, no insulation

Garbage!
A waste of money. I didn't expect it to keep any thing very cold. I did however, expect it to keep my soda from getting hot. NOt worth any amount of money.

Nice Little Fridge
This fridge was pretty great. I ordered it and it came in tact and as described. The person I got it for loved it! That is just what I was looking for.
