I should never have bought …..

I should never have bought a mini fridge. Although it’s simple modern appearance is aesthetically pleasing, its functionality is rather poor; almost taking up to 5 hours to cool an item, with a lot of power.

The cost of running the mini fridge is ridiculously high considering the fridge can only hold roughly 3 drink cans and a couple of chocolate bars and yet although made for mobile use, such as a workplace environment, the fridge is not very durable or hardwearing and could easily become broken if not handled carefully. Yet, although it is rather poor item for its high price, it is although one of those ‘must have’ fashion items which suits any modern living room, bedroom or dining room, to save you that trip to the kitchen.

The one great advantage of the mini fridge is that it comes in many different shapes, colours and styles and can be easily produced using materials such as plastic and metal, which are of a relatively low density so that the mini fridge is easy to carry. In fact some mini fridges have an ergonomic handle device which has used the latest anthropometric data.

In summary, the mini fridge is energy inefficient, and expensive item with poor performance. Therefore, if your looking for a fridge you might as well splash out on a larger one that can at lest hold a couple of days worth of food and drink.
