Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I actually need?
A 2-3 cubic foot model typically holds about 24-36 cans of soda or several days' worth of snacks and beverages for one person. If you plan to store leftovers or meal prep containers, consider models closer to 4 cubic feet.
Are these refrigerators noisy?
Most mini fridges produce some operational noise from the compressor cycling on and off. If you're sensitive to noise or plan to place it in a bedroom, look for models specifically marketed as quiet operation, though expect some ambient sound.
How much will it cost to run?
Small refrigerators in this category typically consume 200-400 kilowatt-hours per year. At average electricity rates, this translates to roughly $25-50 annually in energy costs, though this varies significantly by location and usage patterns.
Can I use it immediately after delivery?
Most refrigerators should sit upright for 2-4 hours before plugging in if they were transported on their side. This allows the refrigerant to settle properly. Check the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance on your model.
