Mini Fridge

MY TOP PICK: If you are looking for the best overall, I recommend the Inventor 66L model because it holds a lot, is available in many sizes and is very energy efficient.

It has a reversible door to save space, is very quiet and also features a handy freezer compartment. Of course the best one for you will depend on how and where you plan to use it.
