 so far so good July 23, 2010
I just got my mini fridge a couple of days ago, and so far it's amazing! I put grape juice in it and it cools it right down. I keep my fan on all the time just to make sure it stays cool. (I saw that in a different review.)
 Works well enough, would buy again. July 20, 2010

My wife needed a way to cool breast milk pumped at her work. Through the winter months we used freezer packs and insulated carriers, but with the weather warming up, we were afraid that would not be enough. Looking at mini-refrigerators, the types with actual compressors, it became obvious those were too big, too expensive, and not appropriate for her office environment. These little electrically cooled "mini-fridges" started looking like a good option.
This one in particular is good value for the money. It seems adequately constructed, and has a decent snapping latch. The power connectors for AC and DC operation are included, and the instructions are clear enough to understand. One of the first things I did was pop a thermometer in the fridge and run it for an hour. As you'd expect from a peltier cooler, the temp achieved was about 35 degrees below ambient. That bought it to 40 some degrees in our 74 degree living room. It was quiet when running and you can feel the warm breeze it blows out the back if you put your hand within a foot.
I plugged this into our Kill-a-watt electricity meter, and found it draws about 50 watts. My wife turns it on when she gets into her office, and off when she leaves. Unlike some mini-fridges of this type, this one doesn't have any warnings about not running it 24/7 (some recommend against that) but, she feels running an empty fridge overnight is just silly. I agree with her there.
The fridge does have big air intake grills on the back and sides, and it does need room to flow air when running. My wife ended up giving it a few inches on each side, and that works great for her. She says it cools freshly expressed milk down on its own. When she adds the icepacks to the fridge, they stay frozen almost all day. There's enough room in it for a packed lunch, 6 cans of pop, or as she uses it, 2 baby bottles - with room for 2 more.
This is a good buy. It's cute enough in appearance, seems decently well built, keeps things cold, and holds just enough. Can't beat it for the price. Owned it now for just over 2 months - is working fine.

I use this to keep water bottles and soda cans cool in my office. I would say that they get slightly chilled. Within 5 minutes of pulling out a bottle the dring is already at room temperature.

This mini-mini fridge is just what I hoped for. I use it for my office and it does the trick! I would recommend this product.

I bought this cooler to keep my hobby glue fresh. Its does well. If it lasts a year it was well worth the money. What more could I ask for ..nothing! I'm happy :-)
