Spec me a mini fridge

Azza · 2 Oct 2009 at 00:20

Are any of these actually any good? There are tons of the things and I have no idea which is any good.

My cousin had a really old 6 litre one ages ago and it was so noisy.

Any one have any recommendations? I think a 50 litre one would be too big and 6 too small so some where in the middle maybe.

Thanks.

I've got a 50 litre one. Been so handy while I've been at Uni. It's a bit noisy, but I don't even notice it now.

What would you use it for?

Fridge stuff.

Milk (at least 4 pint bottle), butter, cooked meats, cheese, cans, bottles, that sort of stuff. There are seven of us in our house and the fridge is such a mess no room or anything at all. Plus my girlfriend... I mean ex

would be sharing it as well with me.

I can't gauge in my head if 50 litres would be too big. Don't happen to have pics of it with against a 2L bottle or a bottle of milk or something do you orderoftheflame?

Hmm, I'd always wanted one of these but noise was always a concern.

Indeed, my cousins old 6 litre one was terrible. My PC was quieter than it.

I think you'd probably want a 50 litre.

Mines probably the right size for one person to keep all their own fridgy bits in. If it was just a few cans of beer you'd be ok with a small one.

Sorry about the poor quali. Had to take it on the camera phone.

This one's got one shelf and a bottom area. The bottoms about perfect for a regular beer bottle (depth), and the top will easily allow a 2 litre bottle lying down.

Mine's just a coke branded fridge, but it's worked fine for anything I've wanted to put in it. You can obviously get more generic white appliance looking ones with more features.

Noise wise it's only a problem when the compressor kicks in, I've had it in my bedroom for a while now and I rarely notice it any more.

Sweet, that looks like a perfect size.

Thanks for the picture.

If noise is your concern then grab a mini fridge that uses 'absorption' technology , they are completely silent, not even a whisper, this place does them pretty cheap, http://www.minicoolers.co.uk/products/silent/index.htm, and they are pretty low power consumption.

Thanks for the link lowrider. I'll have a look.
