A mini fridge is a great addition to small space dorm rooms while an apartment sized fridge may be a better option for larger dorm rooms or small shared kitchen spaces. Look for exterior features that help you easily navigate a small kitchen, like reversible doors and Frigidaire fridge counter-depth models. On the inside, shelves that slide back to make room for tall items help you use the same space for different purposes. NewAir refrigerators are built with the same compressors we found in Magic Chef mini fridges and others owned by Whirlpool.
So if the best spot is an awkward corner that won’t let you open the door on the right side, you’re just seconds away from a switch—rather than having to redo your entire floor plan. In the fridge, you’ll find two glass shelves as well as a crisper drawer for fruits and veggies. However, the crisper doesn’t have humidity controls so don’t expect it to keep greens sprightly for more than a week.
It will keep things that need refrigeration like yogurt, cut-up melon and a lunch salad safe as well as merely chilled. It has one wire shelf in the main compartment and shelves on the door. There’s a small freezer compartment to use for a bag of ice or to keep ice cream at a scoopable consistency, but we don’t suggest keeping meat or poultry there for more than a day. As the ventilation system becomes iced up, the freezer loses some of its ability to circulate cold air throughout the compartment. This can prevent the freeze from reaching sufficiently cold temperatures.
However, it has the kind of temperature management you expect from a twenty-first century unit. On top, there’s a separate freezer compartment with a shelf on the door. In the Frigidaire fridge refrigerator, two glass shelves and a large bin for produce will help you keep foods organized. The door has a large and small shelf and a system for dispensing soda pop cans.
