Mini fridges can vary quite a bit in size and there are noise and performance considerations to factor in too. To help narrow down your search for a quality compact cooler, we’ve scoured the Mumsnet forums for top tips. The price of this Smeg mini fridge will understandably put some people off, but it wins a place on our list thanks to its trademark good looks and retro styling. It’s a great choice as an overflow fridge for the kitchen – it will hold up to two shopping bags worth of groceries, and has adjustable shelves with 10 settings so you can change it to suit your needs. Because we know that there’s nothing like a real recommendation from a real parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which mini fridges discerning Mumsnet users had bought. We compiled a list of mini fridges they recommended, noting how effective they found them, and whether they were particularly good for any certain needs. It’s the most energy efficient model on our list (A+++ rated), and thanks to its auto defrost technology, it’s a very low maintenance appliance. Key specsA very important one. If you want a dedicated drinks fridge or countertop fridge then look at models between 40 and 50 litres capacity. For a mini fridge cooler, 5 litres is probably the minimum you would want to consider. A reliable brand for all things kitchen appliance, it’s no surprise that Russell Hobbs knows how to make a good mini fridge and this one is A-rated for energy consumption. I bought the Coca Cola one on offer. It'll go in my son’s game room as I don't want him to have one in his bedroom.

If you’re looking for a mini fridge, it goes without saying that you’ll want something compact – just make sure it’s big enough for what you need! It’s always worth paying attention to the energy efficiency rating too – A+++ is best, and it will mean you’re spending less on running costs and you’ll be kinder to the environment in the process (although a higher rating can mean a higher price tag). With a 24-litre capacity, you won’t be short of space. And it looks a bit like a hotel mini-bar, so it’s ideal if you want to keep something stronger than lemonade in there too! Key specs

We started by saying that this fridge was very similar to the Russell Hobbs, however, as they are both similar priced then we would choose this VonShef due to the larger capacity and stylish design. However, the Russell Hobbs does have 4 colour options so will be more appealing to those looking to coordinate with existing kitchen appliances and décor. This mini fridge is surprisingly portable despite being able to stash up to 27 cans, five bottles of wine, or an equivalent amount of non-alcohol stuff, if that’s your thing.

The iceQ sits nicely in size between the small Ultra 6 from Subcool and the larger fridges from VonShef and Russell Hobbs. It’s not cheap though as is approaching the price of the much larger models. So, what do you get for your money? Mini fridges come into use in a variety of everyday situations, whether you need extra refrigeration space in your kitchen, want to have a separate fridge for drinks or just want to keep your drinks chilled in the bedroom or dorm. Between the two smaller portable coolers here, we would choose the cheaper Subcool Ultra 6 as it has the space and power flexibility that you need in a smaller cooler.If you’re looking for a drinks fridge with a great appearance and good capacity though, the Subcold50 most definitely takes the win. This mini fridge from VonShef is very similar to the Russell Hobbs model, both in terms of looks and features but also price. So, what would make you choose between these two mini fridges from well-known brands?

Russell Hobbs RHTTLF1B 43L Table Top F Energy Rating Fridge

It wins extra points for portability too, with a carry handle and an adapter to charge it using a 12v cigarette lighter in your car. One thing to bear in mind: it’s not suitable for perishable food or medicines - you’ll need to spend a little bit more for that (see further down our list, if that’s what you need). Key specs It comes with a 12v adapter so it’s a portable option to keep drinks cold at picnics and on camping trips. Key specs Another fridge from Subcold but this time something a lot smaller and cheaper than the Super50. The Ultra 6 is very compact in size and capacity, but this means that its ideal for use in bedrooms, dorms or when camping. Sizes vary from four litres (enough for a few cans of drink) right the way up to about 10 times that size (enough for a couple of bags of shopping), and everything in between. Bottom line - if you buy something bigger than you need, you’ll be spending more than you have to.This mini fridge really is “mini” with a 6 litre capacity. That’s still room though to fit in 8 of your favourite 330ml cans. The internal shelf is removable, so you have the option of using as a drinks or food only fridge, or both. The Ultra 6 has door storage space, but this is only wide enough for a thin bar of chocolate, this is still a nice addition though as this gives you even more storage options. Measuring just over 30cm in height, the Ultra 6 is definitely a compact choice. The IceQ mini-fridge is the best mini fridge to buy right now. The 15-litre capacity is enough to store up to 15 330ml drinks cans, and the carry handle and 12v adapter make it portable enough to use in any room of the house or to take with you for on-the-go cooling. How we chose our recommendations This is quite a neat and stylish portable mini fridge that makes a great (and cheaper) alternative to an electric cool box. It’s not the largest in capacity but is ideal for extra refrigeration space or for using when you’re out and about. The iceQ includes a small viewing window in the door but we are not 100% sure what use this serves due to the size, but it does make the overall appearance of this fridge more modern. As this is intended to be a portable fridge it includes a carrying handle as well as the option to run on mains or 12v power. As with the Subcool Ultra 6, this is more of a chiller and can cool up to 20 degrees below ambient temperature and can also be used as a drink and food warmer.
