Reasons to Get a Mini Refrigerator
Small appliances help any kitchen run smoothly, simplifying routine tasks and chores. Apartment-size refrigerators, or compact refrigerators, fall into this category and make a great addition to bedrooms, man caves, garages, dorm rooms, basements, bar areas and other spaces. They can give you extra room to store drinks and snacks in a full kitchen, or they can outfit college lodging with home comforts.
If you need — or just want — a mini fridge, we have an assortment of mini fridges for sale at Lowe’s from top brands at competitive prices. Choosing a mini fridge for a bedroom may be different than choosing one for a home bar. Before you shop, think about what you want the fridge to store and where you want to put it. Do you want a stand-alone or built-in option? Some small mini fridges are tiny enough to keep on a countertop. A small fridge with a reversible door allows opening from the left or right, making placement easier. Also consider shelf type. Models with wire or glass shelving are available, and if the shelves are adjustable, it’s easier to accommodate different sizes of grocery items. Knowing about the types of mini fridges and their features will help you to choose the right one for your space.
- Refrigerators Without Freezers: These models keep perishable foods chilled and drinks cold, and that’s it. There’s no freezer, so they can’t store frozen goods like ice cream or personal pizzas. The inside usually has adjustable shelves and on-door storage for beverages.
-
Refrigerators With Freezers: These come with freezer space. Choose from models with a freezer shelf inside the refrigerator or a freezer as a separate space with its own door, like a regular fridge. Think about what you’ll store in the freezer to help determine which design works best. Just an ice cube tray? A freezer shelf might be all you need. But if you want to keep a pint of ice cream and other frozen goods, our range of double-door mini fridges can give you that extra storage you need.
- Beverage Centers: These are great for home bar areas. They can even be built in as part of a kitchen island. Their purpose is to keep drinks cool and to free up shelf space in the main fridge.
Mini refrigerators come in various colors and finishes, so you can choose one that complements the area where it’ll be used. A white mini fridge provides a classic look. Stainless steel is always a great choice, and you can find mini fridges at Lowe’s in this finish from brands like Frigidaire, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool® and others. If you’re looking for something more unique, colors like red, blue, green and even gold are available. From a GE mini fridge to a Danby mini fridge, you can’t go wrong.
Whether you choose a refrigerator-only model or one with a freezer, you can generally set up your mini fridge wherever you need to. If you want it to feel integrated into the space, look for a model that can fit into appropriate areas under counters — a perfect option for a home bar setup. You can also tuck yours away in a cabinet, but do factor in proper space and airflow.
While you search for the perfect one, keep in mind that mini fridges cycle off and on throughout the day, but your food and drinks will remain cold. As an amenity that can enhance college life, game rooms and even outdoor kitchens, a small refrigerator is worth investing in as it typically lasts about 10 years — and some can last even longer. Clean and maintain your mini fridge to help it last as long as possible. Whether you want a double-door mini fridge with freezer or just one with refrigeration space, Lowe’s mini fridge selection is sure to have what you’re looking for. Our focus on value ensures you’ll get the right fridge for the right price.
