The Top 5 Mini Bar Fridges

While mini bar fridges might bring back memories of university dorms, they are actually really great mini storage options for the home or workplace, even if they come with a few caveats.

For example, most bar fridges use more energy in proportion to large fridges – so think about getting the largest one for your needs and space available. You’ll also want to avoid wire racks as they are more difficult to clean. Finally, think carefully about freezer space before you buy. Most mini fridges are fridge only and while there are a few that offer a small freezing space for ice trays, this space can be awkward to use. If you are looking to store frozen products, consider a two drawer mini fridge or a separate mini freezer instead, as this will help your goods to freeze quicker and with less energy loss.

We took a long hard look at the most popular and best mini bar fridges and here are our favourites:
