Best Mini Fridges with Freezer Compartment

TL;DR: The Midea WHD-113FSS1 offers a 3.1 cu ft double‑door fridge with a 0.9 cu ft freezer, ENERGY STAR efficiency, and a quiet 42 dBA operation, all in a compact 19.4 × 33 in footprint.

This unit’s standout spec is its total capacity of 3.1 cu ft, split into a 2.2 cu ft refrigerator and a dedicated 0.9 cu ft freezer. It draws only 270 kWh per year, well under the U.S. federal standard of 358 kWh, and runs at a modest 1.3 A on 115‑120 V AC. At 42 dBA, the noise level is low enough for dorm rooms or office breakrooms.

Compared with the other ten models, the Midea sits near the middle of the weight range: it’s heavier than the 30‑lb Arctic Chef and 39‑lb Igloo, but lighter than the 57‑lb Euhomy. Its 19.4 in depth matches the Euhomy’s and is shallower than the RCA’s 22.0 in depth, making it easier to fit into tight spaces. The 0.9 cu ft freezer is comparable to Upstreman’s 0.88 cu ft and only slightly smaller than Euhomy’s 0.96 cu ft, giving it a clear advantage over models without a separate freezer.

Professional reviewers praise the unit’s ENERGY STAR rating and the rarity of a dedicated freezer in a compact fridge. Users echo the quiet operation and appreciate the reversible door for flexible placement. The most common complaint is the manual or partially automatic defrost cycle, which requires periodic attention. A handful of owners also note that the 2.2 cu ft refrigerator space can feel tight for larger grocery trips.

Additional technical details include an LED interior light, a 2 L bottle rack, three door racks, and a crisper drawer. A mechanical dial handles temperature control, offering a straightforward but less modern interface. The unit comes with a full 1‑year warranty and a 2‑year compressor warranty.

Best for: Dorm residents, office breakrooms, or small‑apartment users who value a quiet, energy‑efficient fridge with a built‑in freezer.

Avoid if: You need a large fresh‑food capacity, automatic defrost, or a modern digital control panel.

TL;DR: The Arctic Chef ACFR335 offers a 3.2 cu ft compressor‑cooled mini fridge in a sleek black stainless finish, weighing just 30.0 lb and fitting comfortably in tight spaces for students or office use.

The standout spec is its 3.2 cu ft total capacity paired with a compressor cooling system, which reviewers say keeps temperatures steady even on warm days. At 18.0 in deep, 19.0 in wide and 33.0 in tall, the unit stores the full 3.2 cu ft in a compact footprint.

Compared with the other ten models, the ACFR335 is lighter than the Igloo (39.2 lb), Euhomy (≈41.89 lb) and Sweetcrispy (43.2 lb) options, and only marginally heavier than the Upstreman 1.7 cu ft model (≈29.81 lb). Its height of 33.0 in places it above most competitors—taller than the Igloo’s 27.76 in fridge height and the Euhomy’s 31.0 in—but just shy of the Frigidaire’s 35.5 in. Capacity‑wise, it matches the Euhomy, Sweetcrispy and Frigidaire at 3.2 cu ft, outpacing the smaller Upstreman 1.7 cu ft, while offering about 0.1 cu ft more volume than the Upstreman 3.1 cu ft model.

User feedback highlights the reliable compressor as a major plus, especially for dorm rooms or office cubicles where ambient heat can be an issue. Reviewers also appreciate the built‑in can/bottle holder and slide‑out shelf for easy access. On the downside, several users note that the 3.2 cu ft total space feels cramped for families or anyone needing extensive frozen storage, and the lack of adjustable shelves or an ice‑maker limits flexibility.

Technical notes from the manufacturer point out a “Low” energy consumption rating, which aligns with the compressor’s reputation for efficiency. The reversible door and adjustable thermostat add a degree of customization without complicating the design.

TL;DR: The RCA RFR835 offers a 3.2 cu ft two‑door mini fridge with a separate freezer, ENERGY STAR efficiency and a quiet 25 dB operation, fitting snugly into tight spaces.

With a 3.2 cu ft total capacity and a separate freezer compartment, the RCA RFR835 packs a decent amount of storage into a footprint that measures 22.0 in deep, 20.0 in wide and 34.0 in tall. Its ENERGY STAR certification translates to an annual energy use of 323 kWh, and the compressor‑cooled system runs at a whisper‑quiet 25 dB.

Compared with the other ten mini‑fridges, the RCA sits in the middle of the weight range—heavier than the Arctic Chef (30 lb) and Igloo (39.2 lb) but lighter than the Euhomy (57.32 lb). Its 22.0 in depth is deeper than most rivals, which hover around 18–19.5 in, so it needs a bit more floor space. At 34.0 in tall it is taller than the Upstreman (33.46 in) and Arctic Chef (33.0 in) but shorter than the Frigidaire (35.5 in). The 3.2 cu ft capacity matches the total capacity of the Euhomy and Frigidaire, and exceeds the Upstreman’s 3.1 cu ft.

Professional reviewers point out the low energy draw and the convenience of automatic defrost as clear advantages, especially for dorm rooms where manual defrost cycles are a hassle. Consumers echo the praise for the compact footprint and quiet operation, noting that the reversible door makes it easy to fit against a wall or a counter. The main criticism surfaces: it lacks an ice maker or water dispenser, which some users miss when they want chilled drinks without extra accessories.

The unit runs on standard 120 V household power and draws 440 W when cooling, keeping the sound level down to 25 dB—quiet enough for a bedroom or office. A 2 L bottle rack on the door adds a handy spot for water bottles, and the adjustable thermostat lets you fine‑tune the interior temperature. RCA backs the fridge with a one‑year warranty, giving peace of mind for the occasional hiccup.

Best for: Buyers willing to invest in a proven, high-quality option

Avoid if: You're on a tight budget or only need basic functionality

TL;DR: The Galanz GLR46TRDER Red delivers a roomy 4.6 cu ft total capacity, ENERGY STAR efficiency, and eye‑catching retro styling, but its $662.48 price tags it as a premium mini fridge.

This model packs 4.6 cu ft of total storage—including a 1.31 cu ft top‑mount freezer—inside a footprint of 19.17 in W × 23.31 in D × 50.45 in H. The adjustable mechanical thermostat lets you keep the refrigerator between 32°F and 47°F while the freezer can reach ≤0°F, and the interior light makes it easy to see contents.

At 76.1 lb, the Galanz is noticeably heavier than the Midea (52.2 lb), RCA (51.83 lb) and Arctic Chef (30.0 lb) units, reflecting its larger build. Its 4.6 cu ft total capacity outstrips the Upstreman’s 3.1 cu ft and the Frigidaire’s 3.2 cu ft, giving you more room for groceries or drinks. However, the annual energy draw of 325 kWh/year is higher than the Midea’s 270 kWh/year, so it isn’t the most frugal on power alone.

Reviewers consistently praise the Hot Rod Red finish and retro chrome handle, calling the fridge a “statement piece” that brightens dorm rooms and small apartments. The generous shelving—three full glass shelves, a crisper drawer, and multiple door balconies—gets high marks for organization. On the downside, shoppers note the partial automatic defrost still requires occasional manual clearing, and the mechanical thermostat feels less precise than digital controls. A few owners mention a hum from the R600A compressor, which's typical for a hydrocarbon‑type unit.

Technically, the fridge uses an R600A hydrocarbon compressor paired with a high‑efficiency cycle, earning ENERGY STAR certification. The partial automatic defrost reduces frost buildup without the complexity of a fully frost‑free system. Power specs list a 0.96 A draw at 120 V, 60 Hz, aligning with its energy‑star rating. The dual‑door layout separates fresh food and frozen items, and the retro chrome handle adds a nostalgic touch while remaining functional.

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $662.48

TL;DR: The Euhomy Mini Fridge with Freezer offers a roomy 3.2 cu ft total capacity, separate 0.96 cu ft freezer, LED lighting and a 3‑level thermostat, all packed into a compact 33.5‑in‑high, 57.32‑lb unit.

This model’s standout spec is its dual‑zone layout: a 2.24 cu ft refrigerator compartment paired with a 0.96 cu ft freezer, giving you true separate cooling in a mini‑fridge footprint. The 3‑level thermostat lets you fine‑tune each zone, and the built‑in LED lighting keeps the interior bright without adding heat.

Compared with the other ten entries, the Euhomy sits on the heavier side—at 57.32 lb it outweighs the Upstreman 3.1 (48.5 lb) and the Arctic Chef (30 lb). Its depth of 19.4 in matches the Upstreman and Midea units, while its 18.1 in width is narrower than Frigidaire’s 20.5 in but similar to the Upstreman’s 18.31 in. The total capacity of 3.2 cu ft ties with the Frigidaire and RCA models, putting it near the top of the size range without expanding the footprint.

Users repeatedly praise the quiet compressor and the effective temperature separation that keeps fresh foods and frozen items at their ideal temps. Professional reviewers also highlight the LED interior and the convenience of a separate freezer. The main complaints focus on the manual‑defrost freezer, which needs periodic attention, and the unit’s 57.32‑lb weight, which can make moving it a chore. The fridge draws a modest 0.98 kWh per day and includes a one‑year manufacturer warranty.

TL;DR: The Upstreman 3.1 cu ft mini fridge offers a compact 18.31 × 19.49 × 33.46‑inch footprint, a top freezer of 0.88 cu ft, and ENERGY STAR efficiency for $199.98.

At 3.1 cu ft total capacity the Upstreman packs a 2.22 cu ft cooler and a 0.88 cu ft freezer, both controlled by seven adjustable temperature settings. ENERGY STAR certification keeps the estimated daily energy cost around $0.1, and the unit runs at a modest 38 dB, making it suitable for dorm rooms or office corners.

Compared with the other ten entries, the Upstreman is lighter than the Euhomy model (57.32 lb) but heavier than the Arctic Chef (30 lb). Its depth of 19.49 in is just a shade deeper than Euhomy’s 19.4 in, while the height of 33.46 in matches the 33.5 in of that same competitor. The width of 18.31 in is a bit wider than Euhomy’s 18.1 in, giving a slightly larger external envelope without sacrificing floor space.

Customers have awarded it 4.6 / 5 stars across 498 reviews, frequently praising the built‑in light, removable crisper drawer, and the adjustable balancing leg that helps keep the fridge steady on uneven surfaces. Reviewers also note the freezer can reach –0.4 °F, which is colder than many mini‑fridge freezers. The main criticisms focus on the modest 3.1 cu ft total volume and the $199.98 price, which sits at the higher end of the mini‑fridge segment.

Best for: Most users seeking a balanced, mainstream option

Avoid if: You're shopping on a tight budget — it's priced at $199.98

TL;DR: The Frigidaire EFR840 Cream offers a retro‑styled 3.2 cu ft mini fridge with a top freezer, LED lighting and a side bottle opener, weighing 40 lb and priced at $198.

The standout spec is its 3.2 cu ft total capacity, which comfortably fits a full 12‑pack of cans and tall bottles. A thermostat knob gives you precise temperature control, while the glass door, can dispenser, LED interior lighting and built‑in side bottle opener add convenience and a polished look.

Compared with its peers, the Frigidaire is lighter than the Upstreman (48.5 lb) and the Euhomy (57.32 lb), yet it stands taller than both at 35.5 in versus their 33‑ish inches. Its 19.0 in depth is a shade shallower than the Upstreman’s 19.49 in and the Midea’s 19.4 in, making it a bit easier to slip into tighter spaces. The width of 20.5 in edges out the Upstreman’s 18.31 in and the Arctic Chef’s 19.0 in, giving you a wider interior footprint. While the Arctic Chef is lighter at 30.0 lb, the Frigidaire balances a moderate weight with a larger overall footprint.

Reviewers consistently praise the roomy interior and the retro cream finish, calling it “impressive for its size.” They highlight the side bottle opener and LED lighting as practical touches. On the downside, users note the roughly 19‑in depth can feel clumsy navigating narrow doorways, and the freezer’s modest size—about 0.2 cu ft according to reviewers—limits ice storage. Professional reviewers also point out the manual defrost cycle as an extra step compared with auto‑defrost models.

Beyond the aesthetics, the unit runs on 65 W of power at 111 V and consumes roughly 250 kWh per year, aligning with typical energy use for compact compressors. The manual defrost system keeps the design simple, and the reversible glass door helps fit the fridge into various room layouts.

TL;DR: The Igloo Mini Fridge offers a 2.6 cu ft insulated compartment, a built‑in freezer and rugged swing‑up handles for $149.99, delivering solid storage and transport durability for budget‑friendly setups.

This model packs a 2.6 cu ft main compartment that can hold up to 188 12‑oz cans, while its Ultratherm® insulation claims to keep ice for up to five days—useful for trips where power may be limited. The separate freezer includes an ice tray and drip tray, and you can set the temperature between 32 °F and 50 °F with the adjustable thermostat.

At $149.99, the Igloo sits at the same price tier as the Arctic Chef ACFR335 and above the Upstreman 1.7 cu ft model, yet it weighs 39.2 lb—heavier than the 29.81‑lb Upstreman but lighter than the 43.2‑lb Sweetcrispy. Its 2.6 cu ft capacity is smaller than the 3.2 cu ft offered by Arctic Chef and the 3.1 cu ft Upstreman, and unlike several rivals that list freezer volumes (0.2 cu ft to 0.88 cu ft), the Igloo does not disclose its freezer size.

Reviewers give the fridge a 4.3‑star average across 1,488 comments, frequently praising the reinforced swing‑up handles with tie‑down loops and the long‑lasting ice retention. Some users note that the static cooling method can be slower to reach the set temperature, which aligns with the modest rating compared to higher‑scoring competitors.

Technical highlights include a fan‑free compressor, slide‑out shelves, an 8‑can dispenser and a 2‑liter bottle rack on the door, and the same Ultratherm® body and lid insulation that the brand touts for five‑day ice retention. The exterior dimensions (17.75 in H × 38.31 in L × 17.38 in W) make it a fairly compact unit for dorm rooms or small apartments.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option

TL;DR: The Euhomy Mini Fridge offers 3.2 cu ft of total space, a 0.3 cu ft micro‑freezer, and 0.66 kWh/day energy use, all packaged in a compact 31 in‑high, 19 in‑deep black unit for $139.99.

This model’s standout spec is its 3.2 cu ft total capacity combined with a dedicated 0.3 cu ft freezer compartment, giving you enough room for drinks, snacks, and a small ice‑cream stash. It runs at a modest 38 dB noise level and draws 0.66 kWh per day, while its dimensions (31.0 in H × 19.0 in D × 17.5 in W) fit comfortably on a dorm desk or kitchenette counter. The unit weighs 41.89 lb, includes a removable glass shelf, drip tray, and offers seven temperature control positions.

Compared with its peers, the Euhomy is lighter than the Sweetcrispy Mini Fridge (43.2 lb) but heavier than the Arctic Chef (30.0 lb) and Upstreman 1.7 cu ft model (≈29.8 lb). Its 3.2 cu ft capacity matches the Sweetcrispy, Arctic Chef, and Frigidaire options, and exceeds the Upstreman 1.7 cu ft fridge. The freezer size mirrors Sweetcrispy’s 0.3 cu ft but falls short of the Upstreman 3.1 cu ft model’s 0.88 cu ft freezer. Energy consumption of 0.66 kWh/day is higher than Sweetcrispy’s 0.41 kWh/day and Upstreman 1.7’s 0.5 kWh/day, placing it in the mid‑range of efficiency for this class.

User feedback averages 4.3 / 5 stars from 1,546 reviews, with praise highlighting the roomy interior, reliable freezer temperatures (23–41 °F), and quiet 38 dB operation. A recurring critique points to the price‑to‑feature ratio, noting that similarly sized rivals sometimes cost less while offering lower energy use. Users frequently highlight the reversible hinges and adjustable feet as handy for tight spaces.

TL;DR: The Sweetcrispy Mini Fridge offers 3.2 cu ft of total space, a quiet 38 dB operation, and low 0.41 kWh/day energy use, but its price sits at the higher end of entry‑level models.

At 3.2 cu ft total capacity with a dedicated 0.3 cu ft freezer, this fridge gives you room for drinks, snacks, and a modest frozen stash. Five temperature settings let you fine‑tune the 33.8–44 °F refrigeration range and the 23–35 °F freezer range. The unit runs at 38 dB, so it stays quiet on a bedroom nightstand, and it sips only 0.41 kWh per day, keeping electricity bills low.

Compared with the other ten entries, Sweetcrispy matches the Euhomy and Arctic Chef in total capacity (both list 3.2 cu ft) while offering a freezer size equal to Euhomy’s 0.3 cu ft but larger than the Upstreman 1.7 cu ft’s 0.2 cu ft. Its energy draw of 0.41 kWh/day is lower than Euhomy’s 0.66 kWh/day and the Upstreman 1.7’s 0.5 kWh/day. The fridge’s depth of 17.7 in aligns with the Upstreman 1.7, and its height of 31.5 in is just a touch taller than Euhomy’s 31.0 in. Weighing 43.2 lb, it’s heavier than the Upstreman 1.7 (29.81 lb) but lighter than the Upstreman 3.1 (48.5 lb) and comparable to the Arctic Chef’s 30.0 lb.

Customer feedback averages 4.3 stars from 1,190 reviews, indicating generally happy owners. Reviewers often praise the quiet motor and the flexibility of two adjustable shelves plus a crisper drawer. A recurring note is that the freezer’s 0.3 cu ft may feel small for bulk frozen foods, and some shoppers mention the $134.99 price as it's a bit steep for a budget‑focused fridge. Manufacturer provides limited details, but the one‑year warranty offers basic peace of mind.

TL;DR: The Upstreman 1.7 cu ft mini fridge offers a compact 18.9 × 17.7 × 19.3‑inch footprint, quiet 38 dB operation, and energy‑saving 204 kWh/year use, but its small 0.2 cu ft freezer limits bulk storage.

At just 1.7 cu ft total capacity, this single‑door unit squeezes a refrigerator space of 1.5 cu ft and a freezer of 0.2 cu ft into a 18.9 in wide, 17.7 in deep, and 19.3 in tall package. The 38 dB noise level keeps it whisper‑quiet for dorm rooms or bedrooms, while the annual energy draw of 204 kWh (about 0.5 kWh per day) translates to low running costs. A reversible door and two removable shelves add flexibility for tight spaces.

Compared with the other ten entries, the Upstreman is noticeably lighter than the Sweetcrispy (43.2 lb) and Euhomy (41.89 lb) models, yet a bit heavier than the Arctic Chef (30.0 lb). Its 1.7 cu ft capacity is smaller than the 3.2 cu ft units from Sweetcrispy and Euhomy, and also smaller than the Upstreman 3.1 cu ft version, which weighs 48.5 lb. Noise‑level wise, it matches the 38 dB figure that several peers report, so it won’t be louder than the competition.

Reviewers consistently praise the fridge’s compact size and quiet operation, noting that the 5‑setting thermostat (33.8 °F – 46.4 °F) lets them fine‑tune cooling for snacks or drinks. The 5‑star rating and eco‑friendly R600a refrigerant earn it frequent compliments for energy efficiency. On the downside, users point out that the 0.2 cu ft freezer fills up quickly and that the manual defrost cycle adds a small maintenance step.

Technically, the unit runs on 110 V and draws 65 W, which aligns with its low daily energy use. The included ice tray and defrost tool, along with a crisper drawer, give you a bit more organization without sacrificing space. With five variable thermostat settings and a reversible door, the fridge adapts to both left‑ and right‑handed door swings, making installation on a tabletop straightforward.

Best for: Students, office workers, or bedroom occupants who need a small, quiet fridge with low energy use.

Avoid if: You require a large freezer compartment or high storage capacity for bulk groceries.
