Frigidaire Retro Compact Fridge Moonbeam
Score: 71/100Rankings
The Midea WHS-65LB1 is a 1.6 cu ft compact fridge with a reversible door, separate freezer and ENERGY STAR efficiency. Its trade-offs include manual defrost and limited interior shelving. Best suited for dorms, small apartments or office break rooms needing a tiny freezer.
Frigidaire's retro-style 3.2 cu ft mini fridge combines a built-in bottle opener with a reversible door for stylish, space-saving use. The tiny freezer and lack of Energy Star certification reduce its efficiency. Best suited for students and offices prioritizing aesthetics over frozen storage.

TechReviewer and Vocal Media both acknowledge the Midea WHS-65LB1 as a well-designed ultra-compact fridge that delivers solid energy efficiency and quiet operation. They appreciate the reversible door and the inclusion of a small freezer, which are uncommon in this size segment. However, they note the modest storage volume and the need for manual defrost as trade-offs for its compact footprint.
Professional reviewers commend the Frigidaire EFR376-MOONBM for its stylish retro look, compact dimensions, and useful bottle opener, noting that its 3.2 cu ft total capacity fits well in tight spaces. However, they criticize the limited 0.2 cu ft freezer and the lack of Energy Star certification, which may affect energy efficiency.
Everyday users generally praise the fridge's vintage styling, built-in bottle opener, and easy placement in dorms or offices, while recurring concerns focus on the tiny freezer size and the absence of modern convenience features like alarms or smart controls.
