Mini Fridges
Mini Fridge Freezer
If you've run out of room in your kitchen freezer, a mini fridge freezer may be just what you need. While most mini fridges have small compartments for freezing items, minifreezer's are dedicated to keeping their contents frozen. Mini freezer sizes range from 1.7 cubic feet to 6.0 cubic feet. Anything larger would be considered a mid-sized freezer.
There are several styles of mini fridge freezer. Upright compact freezer swing open from their front. This type of freezer may be placed under a kitchen counter or left on their own. Upright mini fridge freezers make it easy to access all the contents of the freezer, and the necessity to place the freezer under a counter may make the upright mini freezer the only option available. On the other hand, compact chest freezers open from the top. These may have a larger foot print than the upright freezer, but they often do a better job of keeping the temperature consistent. It's also hard to access the contents of the compact chest freezer, but since the freezer is small this may not be an issue.
It can be hard to find mini fridge freezers. The mini fridge freezer market is much smaller than the mini fridge market. So they are not always available at big box appliance stores. However, there are several well known manufacturers of compact freezers. Kenmore, Haier, Zanussi and Danby all manufacture mini fridge freezers. If you're having trouble finding a mini fridge freezer, contact these manufactures and ask for a retailer near you.
