The best mini fridge for keeping your drinks and snacks cool

Whether it's going in your bedroom or on a counter in the kitchen, this mini fridge is a great in-between size. It’s small enough to fit under a desk but boasts 43 litres of fridge space for all your extra bottles and cans.

A removable wire shelf and door rack provides flexibility too, and there’s also an ice box for storing any frozen treats. While not the most efficient on the list with an F rating, its energy consumption shouldn’t be a concern as it’s still minimal compared to a regular-sized fridge. In short, it’s a great all-rounder.

The LED light inside this fridge will make grabbing your late-night snack easier than ever. And, even better, the lockable door will prevent anyone else getting their sneaky hands on your treats!

The 40-litre design also offers plenty of room, while the removable glass shelf makes it a flexible space. For such a spacious fridge, it’s also lightweight, making it a breeze to move if needed.

Who doesn’t want 40 chilled cans of their favourite drink within arm's reach? Perfect for those essential Diet Coke breaks. Plus, the fridge’s front window is handy for when you need to check whether the stock is dwindling.

It also has a reversible door so it can fit the layout of any room, and the removable shelf is convenient if you want to swap cans for bottles. Note that it is only suitable for storing drinks though, so you’ll have to keep your snacks in the main fridge.

While it’s on the pricier side, there’s truly no better way to fuel your DC obsession.

This compact mini fridge is ideal for a bedroom, office space or small kitchen. There’s no adjustable shelf, but there’s space for taller items such as wine bottles in the bottom of the two door racks.

With a reversible door that opens at a 90-degree angle, it can be discreetly popped into any corner, and the low noise level means it shouldn’t disturb you at night either.

Ticking the boxes for both great value and a host of convenient features is this mini fridge from Abode. You’ll have 43 litres to fill with all your favourite foods and drinks, while the removable wire shelf gives you more options for stacking and storing your goodies.

Plus, you can stash a selection of ice lollies or mini tubs of ice cream in the chiller box for good measure.

This unique, portable mini fridge is a must-have for camping trips and days at the beach. Instead of using ice like a typical cooler, it features a 299Wh rechargeable battery that claims to chill food and drinks from 25 to zero degrees in just 30 minutes.

Designed to keep food fresh for 42 hours, its 33-litre capacity should give you enough room to store two days’ worth of meals. Plus, you can switch the cooler on via the app if you want your drinks chilled by the time you get back from your adventure.

There’s also an extendable table and bottle opener built in, while the easy-tow handle and durable wheels make getting from A to B trouble-free. Of course, it’s incredibly pricey but it's a worthwhile investment if you’re always on the go.

For when the outside is just as important as what’s on the inside, meet the Klarstein Audrey mini fridge. This adorable retro appliance combines both style and substance thanks to its 48 litre capacity, which is ideal for storing a number of drinks, sweets and snacks.

Inside, there’s an adjustable wire rack as well as two shelves in the door but there’s no ice box for storing frozen goods.

If you’re looking for an overflow fridge that won’t cost a fortune, this Cookology model is a great option. It boasts a 46-litre capacity, a wire shelf, two racks on the door, and a small ice box for frozen treats, all for less than £100. You’ll also have the benefit of a reversible door so you can adjust it to fit any space.

While it does have the largest decibel reading of the fridges on the list, it still shouldn’t be too much of an issue at 45dB.

As the smallest mini fridge in the list, this is our pick if you just want to store some snacks and drinks for when you get peckish. It stands at under 35 centimetres tall, so it fits nicely on countertops or in small bedrooms without taking up too much space. Plus, the adjustable feet ensure it’s stable on all surfaces.

Having it in your bedroom won’t be an issue either as this mini fridge has the lowest decibel reading on our list, according to the manufacturer. Note, however, that it’s also one of the least energy efficient models.

Landing somewhere between a mini fridge and a cooler, we felt we had to include Ninja’s FrostVault in our round-up.

The main cooling box has capacity for 26 cans, along with ice to chill them like a traditional cooler; however, the box also has a dry storage drawer underneath for keeping food cool for days. The ice can be stored for up to five days too, thanks to the design, which boasts up to seven centimetres of insulation.

If you’re storing food and drink for a group, you may want to opt for the larger cooler box with a 47-litre capacity – both are costly, but they’ll be a helping hand on the road.
