How much does a mini-fridge cost?

Answer 1

Mini fridges, or compact refrigerators, work great in offices, dorm rooms, garages, and other places with space restrictions. They are useful for storing snacks, drinks, and other items. If you are considering buying a mini fridge, you'll want to know about some of the features offered by different manufacturers and what you can expect to pay.

A mini fridge around $50 is usually extremely compact, and is about the cheapest fridge you will find. Many fridges at this price double as coolers and are portable (some contain a carrying handle). Most can be plugged into a regular AC outlet, and some can be plugged into a car lighter (which works nicely if you are on a long car ride). On average, these mini fridges hold up to 6 twelve-ounce cans of soda.

A mini fridge in the $50-$100 price range is a popular choice and is in the lower end of what you can expect to pay for a mini fridge. Many include wire shelves, door storage for drinks (such as cans of soda), internal light, and adjustable temperature control. Some may include a freezer compartment large enough to hold an ice cube tray. Mini fridges in this price range are larger in size than the fridges available at a lower price.

A mini fridge in the $100-$150 price range is the middle range of what you can expect to pay. Fridges in this range tend to be 1.7 cubic feet or larger, and include any of the following: manual defrost, tall bottle door rack, adjustable leveling legs, separate area that functions as a freezer with built in ice maker, and adjustable fridge thermostat. Many mini fridges in this range are also stainless steel.

A mini fridge in the $150-$250 price range is near the top end of the scale (although you can find fridges priced around $300). These are often fairly large in size, ranging from 3 to 4.5 cubic feet. Features can include two or more adjustable wire or glass shelves, ice tray and small freezer, two door shelves that can accommodate soda or other items, fridge thermostat that can be set at numerous settings, and stainless steel exterior. A fridge this size can hold up to 48 cans of twelve-ounce soda.
