Best Mini Fridge with Freezer 2024

While a regular refrigerator is a must have in every home, a mini one is one of those underrated appliances, especially for those who like to have company over every now and then but runs out of fridge space for the party food and freezer space for the ice and frozen desserts. Our guide to finding the best mini fridge with freezer picks four good models that are perfect not just for party use, but also for dorm rooms and campers.

While we have already narrowed down the field of good mini fridges to use for dorm rooms, offices, parties and tailgating, those did not come with proper freezers. Instead, the cooling space provided inside the main compartment is only enough to keep cold items semi-frozen for a few hours. They can’t freeze water for ice cubes or prevent ice cream from going soft overnight because the lowest temperature in the freezer box barely gets lower than 32°F or 0°C. If you only need to keep a lot of bottles and cans cool, you can get better value out of a dedicated beverage cooler or kegerator or even a wine cooler, as they have more space for your drinks.

If you have a mini fridge with separate freezer that goes down to at least 5°F, everything, including a small batch of frozen meat will stay frozen. A separate thermostat allows you to regulate just this compartment in the unit. This is especially important for food safety practices.
