Mini fridge – Compact and efficient

On this page you will find our selection of smart mini refrigerators.

As the name suggests, a mini fridge is a smaller version of the refrigerators we all have at home.

Their small size makes them easy to have anywhere, whether in the car, in the kids' room or even at your desk in the office.

Mini fridges keep your food and drinks cool so you can always enjoy a nice refreshment or snack.

Mini fridges simply need to be plugged into an outlet, and will then take some time to cool down to the set level before they are ready.

Consider these 5 things before buying your mini fridge

Before you buy a mini fridge, there are a number of things that may be worth considering, so that you are guaranteed the absolute best fridge for your needs.

#1 - Size of your mini fridge

The first, and for many the most important, is to consider the capacity of your mini fridge.

Mini fridges are of course significantly smaller than normal fridges, but still come in many different smaller sizes.

For example, some mini fridges only have room for a few cans of soda/beer or other items, whereas others have room for significantly more.

In general, most people use mini fridges in the very small sizes of 6-10 liters, or the slightly larger and more permanently placed mini fridges of 40-50 liters capacity.

The very small mini fridges are typically designed to stand on your desk, for example, or to take with you in the car, whereas the slightly larger ones are the ones we see in hotels, offices, etc.

#2 - Portable or stationary mini fridge

Mini fridges are available in incredibly small sizes that can be easily moved, or in slightly larger sizes that typically have a permanent place in the home, or for example in hotels, nightclubs, etc.

The portable mini refrigerators are often used, for example, in trucks or passenger cars, or perhaps even in the caravan.

They are incredibly easy to move around, and often require very little power to run optimally.

Fixed mini refrigerators are for those who only want to use it in specific rooms, such as the office, the living room or perhaps the children's room.

#3 - Mini fridge with freezer

Selected mini refrigerators can actually also be available with a small freezer compartment.

This type of mini fridge is perfect for those of you who want to be able to both cool your drinks/food and freeze, for example, ice cream, vegetables or other things.

A smart solution for the office, for example, where there is no freezer available, or simply in the room to have delicious frozen snacks ready on a hot summer day.

#4 - Mini fridge with heating

You probably don't immediately think that a "fridge" can also be used to keep food/drinks warm, but you can actually do that with some models of mini-fridges.

They allow you to set them to a low temperature, which most people want, but also warm temperatures of between 40-60 degrees.

This feature is relevant for those of you who need a way to keep food warm, or perhaps want to use your mini fridge to keep your morning coffee warm.

It can also be smart, for example, for larger parties where you don't have space in the oven to keep the roast warm for dinner, and can instead just use the mini fridge.

#5 - Mini fridge for 12V and/or 230V

It is important to check whether the mini fridge you are considering buying can be connected to 12V, 230V or both.

For example, if you want to use the mini fridge in your car's 12V socket, the fridge must be compatible with this type of connection.

There are many refrigerators that can be connected to both 12V and 230V, so you don't have to worry.

However, it is important to check one more time before buying a mini fridge, so that you are absolutely sure that it can be connected to the car if you wish.

5 Places You Can Make Use of a Mini Fridge

A mini fridge is smart in many areas, below are just a few examples of where a small smart mini fridge can be used.

#1 - Mini fridge for the workplace

If you are not near a refrigerator due to work, leisure interests or other reasons, it is beneficial to purchase a mini refrigerator that can keep drinks or packed lunches fresh and cool.

A mini fridge can also do the exact opposite – keep food warm. With a switch, a mini fridge can be converted to act as a warming cabinet.

It's a practical detail if you need to transport a hot dish to enjoy at a later time.

Many Danes have different jobs during the day or week.

Craftsmen often change workplaces and therefore do not have permanent kitchen or canteen facilities available.

These may benefit from bringing a mini fridge that can be plugged into power at the workplace in question.

Then they are guaranteed cool drinks and an appetizing packed lunch when they enjoy their break.

#2 - Mini fridge for car or truck

Many people spend a large part of the day in a car or truck in connection with carrying out daily work.

This is where a mini fridge comes into its own, as it not only works with a 220V power supply, but also works via a 12V power outlet in the car.

Almost all cars and trucks have a 12V power outlet – formerly known as a cigarette lighter.

An included cable simply needs to be connected to this outlet, and the mini fridge will automatically cool drinks and packed lunches while in transport.

#3 - Mini fridge for the room

It's not only when you're on the go or landing at different destinations during the day that a mini fridge can be useful.

For example, if you are the type who likes a good game on the computer or TV, then a mini fridge is a practical convenience to have nearby.

When the thirst for Red Bull, cola or another favorite drink strikes, it's very smart to be able to reach out and open a mini fridge where the tempting and cold drinks are ready.

It's a definite advantage to be prepared when the game is at its peak. Then there's no time to run to the kitchen, or even worse, to the kiosk or grocery store for cold drinks.

#4 - Mini fridge for camping

For the caravan, a mini fridge is also a solution.

Many caravans actually already have some form of mini fridge built in, but for those of you who need a little extra cooling space, you can easily and simply install a mini fridge.

This may be especially relevant for larger families, where the refrigerator included in the caravan is not large enough.

Simply plug the fridge into an outlet when you're camping and enjoy cool drinks and snacks whenever you want.

#5 - Mini fridge for the boat

If you own a boat, whether it's small or large, you can also use smart mini fridges there.

As long as you have an electrical outlet, you can install a mini fridge on your boat.

Since this is a boat, you must make sure that the refrigerator is properly secured, as waves and violent movements may occur, which can tip the refrigerator over if it is not properly secured.

Fortunately, many mini fridges are relatively heavy when full, so there shouldn't be any major problems under normal circumstances.
