Godrej has taken mini-fridge usage to the next level; they can also be used in puja rooms to store Prasad, flower garland, milk, and ghee.

This is the most feature-loaded product on the list and I’m listing this in the second place because it’s a bit expensive considering the capacity.

One of my friends uses it to store cold water in the bedroom and has a dedicated space with furniture for it.

I felt that the tray design could have been a bit better so that I could place a large bottle inside. It also comes with adjustable feet, you can also make it look elevated if needed. Apart from the good, some users have also complained that the refrigerator doesn’t close well and there are gaps between the both which makes the products visible inside. But I did not have any such issue, in case; if you have anything like that you can always call Amazon customer service to deal with such issues.

I have been using quite a lot of AmazonBasics products and they never fail to impress you. They are affordable for what they offer.

One of the best-looking mini-fridge that comes with superior fit and finish. If you are living alone or with just a couple of members then this is the perfect size for you. The shelves are made of good quality material and the product can be handled well. After using it for a week now I’m reviewing this product and I am satisfied with the cooling ability it works well when you set it at 2 out of 5. But the only drawback is that this does not have auto defrost. 

This mini-fridge is designed well to fit seamlessly with your kitchen décor, this elevates the modern aesthetic of your room too.

• Very basic mini fridge

A friend of mine has been using this for months and he loved it. After a couple of months of usage, it worked well, with no noise, and was compact as well. You can move where ever you want conveniently and can be used in the bedroom as well. Comes with a clean back but still, you can see some wiring at the bottom with the cylinder. Priced at INR 8890 and is available in a white body, which is solid and durable too. Some of the users have been using this product to store medicines and just liquids. And it is an excellent idea!

Also includes a freezer second with an ice cube tray but when there is no power, get prepared for the water dripping. There could have been a tray to collect the water dripping and the brand must look in for that enhancement. Comes with very basic features and does not include a veggie box, but as this is a mini-fridge, you cannot expect that as other brands have included, this could have made one for the price tag.

So, if you are looking for a basic mini-fridge just to store a couple of water bottles and other beverages then I would suggest you go for the LG mini-fridge. The product comes ready to use and does not require any installation. For warranty check with your service provider or call LG customer care to know more.

• Expensive

The most expensive on the list! But you get loads of features like a conventional model in a bite-sized version. The product offers to cool and keeps food for a long time. This double-door mini refrigerator is a must-have if the price is not a constraint. I am using it for my bar and it provides ample space for storing soft drinks, juices, and others as well. I can also store loads of ice cubes in the freezer and I also suggest the brand not use the stickers on the product. It becomes hard to remove and the gun behind it doesn’t do that easily.
