You don’t have to live in a college dorm room to enjoy the benefits of having a mini fridge. While yes, they’re great for keeping snacks and cold drinks close, they’re also much more practical at home than you’d think. Pumping moms use them for storing milk, cat parents use them for canned foods, skin care obsessives use them to preserve the integrity of creams, serums and gels (dermatologists think this is a good idea too, by the way) and even more users keep medication and diabetic supplies in them to keep them cool. You never know how great it is until you have one.
That said, we found a mini fridge that, according to one reviewer, is “one of the best investments I’ve ever made” for basically any need you can think of — and it’s just under $50. A super compact option, this thing will barely take up space — it’s not even a foot tall! — features a removable shelf for organization and comes in so many colors. Even better? Flip a switch and it’ll convert into a warmer. How’s that for practical, multi-seasonal use?
This convertible fridge and warmer is so compact, you’ll find room for it anywhere.
You won’t have to worry much about finding space for this fridge given that it’s so small. According to its exterior measurements, it’s just over 10 inches tall and deep, and just over 7 inches wide. The interior measurements offer up to 5.5 inches of depth and 8 inches of height.
One mother, who calls it a “game changer,” says she enjoys that it fits on her nightstand: “My baby does not sleep through the night yet so she ALWAYS wants a refill on her bottle and I was getting SO tired of midnight and 3AM trips to the kitchen. Now all I do is fill up 2-3 bottles of milk before we go to bed and I put them in the fridge so when she’s ready for her next bottle, all I have to do is reach over and grab it! The bottles are ALWAYS ice cold, the fridge is small enough that it fits on my night stand and doesn’t take up all the space […]”
Other reviewers say it’s handy to keep in a car, too, as it fits on the passenger side floor and includes all needed plugs. Several even say it’s awesome for keeping near an office desk for drinks, medicines and more. It can keep cool all the way down to 35.6°F.
And even if you have the most basic of skin care routines, you’ll be happy to know your products can really benefit from cold temps, and that’s according to dermatologists.
Marisa Garshick, a leading board-certified dermatologist in New York, previously told HuffPost that keeping those cosmetics in a fridge isn’t such a bad idea.
“For ingredients like vitamin C which is known to be unstable, and can oxidize when exposed to light, heat and air, a skin care fridge may be helpful,” Garshick said. “Additionally, some prescription skin care products may also be recommended to keep in the refrigerator. Products that are preservative-free can also be placed in the refrigerator to help prevent bacterial overgrowth.” Garshick also says chilled hyaluronic acid serums may be able to reduce redness.
According to author and board-certified dermatologist Marie Jhin, it’s not just vitamin C that can benefit from being stored at lower temperatures, either.
“Green tea [also] works better if it is refrigerated. Acne medications such as benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin will work better and the cold helps to decrease inflammation,” Jhin said. Storing products like sunscreens and retinols at a lower temperature can help extend their shelf life and prevent premature expiration, Jhin added.
Also, just when the cooler weather settles in for good, just hit your switch to convert it into a warmer.
If you’re questioning whether you’d use a mini fridge as a warmer, let us remind you: hot tea is a comfort during the cold months. Stick your favorite canned green tea in here to have it hot and ready when you need a beverage break. The internal temp can go as high as 149°F, giving you a nice, warm cup for fall or winter. One reviewer says they use theirs to heat up milk before feeding it to their baby!
Get yourself one of this 2-in-1 fridge and warmer in your favorite color today and find out why so many people love having this tiny thing around the house. If you need an extra push though, keep reading to see more promising reviews.
“I don’t use this mini fridge for snacks – I use it for my skincare products! Living in hot temps, this has been a total game-changer. Keeps everything cool, fresh, lasting longer and feels amazing to apply on my skin.
Compact, quiet, and super cute.” — DANAE C.“This mini fridge has literally been a game changer for me as a mother. My baby does not sleep through the night yet so she ALWAYS wants a refill on her bottle and I was getting SO tired of midnight and 3AM trips to the kitchen. Now all I do is fill up 2-3 bottles of milk before we go to bed and I put them in the fridge so when she’s ready for her next bottle, all I have to do is reach over and grab it! The bottles are ALWAYS ice cold, the fridge is small enough that it fits on my night stand and doesn’t take up all the space, I got the fridge on sale so that’s a major bonus! It doesn’t EVER leak water on my night stand, and so far I haven’t had any issues with it! It’s super functional and the only problem I ask myself is WHY DIDNT I PURCHASE THIS SOONER?! This fridge is a 10/10 and I would definitely purchase again!!” — Elizabeth Farrell
“This fridge has been such a necessary and smart purchase for me. I have health issues and need to keep some food close by in case my blood sugar gets too low (hypoglycemia), so I needed a little fridge for my bedroom. I got the pink one and it’s been great! It holds the items I need and even has a little pocket on the inside of the door where I store my cutlery to eat when my blood sugar is low. My daughter is jealous and wants one for her masks and facial products. It’s handy, it’s not noisy, and it’s white noise at that. It can also heat items or keep them heated. I’ve had to use it in the car more than once to make sure I’ve got my proteins and sugars close by. It fits perfectly on the passenger side floor and incluse plugs for using it in the car on the go. There’s also a shelf if you want to use it. So versatile. I highly recommend this cute fridge.
P. S. The customer service is great should you need anything.” — Simply Eden
