UPDATE on 09/25/23: The fridge end up no longer working after 3 months and a half. I noticed the bottles didn't feel as cold and then realized the fan isn't spinning nor making any noises so not sure when it end up stop working. There was nothing blocking the fan and I even tested on a different outlet to make sure, but still not working. I hope the manufacturer will help resolve the issue since I just sent them an email.

On a budget so bought cheapest at the time - it has a green soda brand - didn't mind - but that one didn't get my sodas quite cool enough.
This one has perfect cold & was on sale. It can be used for makeup products or whatever, with a tiny plastic basket on the inside of door.
To use for soda, you have to remove it to fit 6 cans (just slips out)
So bought a second and returning green other brand.
Note:
1 a lot of reviews about a similar similar short lifespan - but per month it's ok
2 complaints door broke when slammed fridge door closed
IT IS NOT A MINI REFRIGERATOR - IT IS DESIGNED TO KINDA LOOK LIKE ONE.
DONT SLAM DOOR.
3 In fact kinda need to, but should anyway, use two hands to close. One to hold unit in place while other carefully and softly snap the door closed. Don't need to use "the door handle" opener to close, if you just softly close with push & hear & feel the door click.
4 says also "For Hot to stay hot". I never tried it but in general, if you want your mini can cooler to last as long as possible, id just keep it place.
5 also, if you see any dust accumulate on the air cool intake fan ( very little air and quiet) but if use a hand vac to periodically to remove any visible dust, may extend life.
6 PERSONAL hack. Have a chest cooler. Worried wouldn't not get enough air to keep it cool. Bought a tiny/small USB fan, and have it blow into the air vent, and it really keeps items super frozen. Sometime I don't notice the fan got unplugged, and can tell with things lees hard frozen (frozen still, but want it to be as cold as possible)
APPLICATION if you put a mini cooler like this kind, if not enough ventilation a small USB fan could help.
There is no temperature control. So might help.
I could see this working better perhaps as a skincare fridge as it doesn’t get *too* cold, but only if it lasted longer (more about that below).
Don’t push the contents in the fridge past where the door closes easily as the plastic latch can break under stress.
I got my desk fridge at the end of Dec 2021. I kept it almost constantly running on cold in my work office, and around November or December 2023 it stopped working (no cold or hot). With constant use, I’d say this fridge has just under a two-year life (and the warranty is one year only).
I’m not technical enough to open it to find the problem, but leaving it off and unplugging does nothing, so it’s basically a brick for me now. No fans, just a blinking red light at most.
That being said, we all know this isn’t a “real” mini fridge going into the purchase, but for what this little thing does do, I think it’s a decent purchase. Just wish it lasted a little longer.
However, our experience quickly turned sour as the fridge ceased to operate just two days before the return window closed. The disappointment was palpable, not just for the loss of functionality but for the timing that left us with no recourse for a return or exchange.
In a twist of fate, my son stumbled upon another mini fridge at a thrift store, which, according to him, has outperformed the Chefman Iceman in every way. This experience has taught us that with gadgets like these, it might really be a hit-or-miss situation.
Would I recommend it? With caution. While the idea and design promise convenience and compact cooling (or heating), our experience highlights a risk in reliability. If you're considering the Chefman Iceman Mini Fridge, it might be wise to have a backup plan or choose a model with a more consistent track record of performance.
