Best Compact Refrigerators in the UK

Let's look at the compact refrigerator by Igenix. The IG347FF has a 96 L capacity and is able to contain quite a lot of eating. The fridge consists of two compartments, a freezer and a fridge itself. The fridge compartment holds 61 L and it features two removable shelves made of a hardened glass, a bin for fruit and vegetables, and a thermostat for temperature adjustment. The door features four plastic shelves that can be pulled out just like the glass ones for washing or placing bottles of water or soda on the fridge's door. Going up, we can see a 26 L freezer compartment for storing ice cream and ice cubes, as well as meat, fish, and various half-finished eatables. Also, the freezer door shelf offers an extra useful space for chilled food. Regarding the usability, the Igenix IG347FF features a backlight to quickly find the needed item when a room light is off. What is more, the door of this compact fridge is reversible, so you can put the door to either left or right side, and adjustable feet will let you align the fridge correctly. Besides the foregoing, the refrigerator has a thermostat to set the adequate temperature and prevent food from spoiling. It's no secret that a disagreeable odour may appear in a fridge, yet you can use a deodorizer to wipe it away.

Concluding our review, we should say that the energy consumption of the IG347FF amounts to 168 kWh per year and it's pretty good for the fridge of the kind. Having explored the benefits of the Igenix fridge, we can safely recommend it to all people who seek a duly performing refrigerator for a tight place.

Next, we are reviewing a compact refrigerator from Russell Hobbs. This is an RHTTLF1B model with the capacity of 45 L and the integrated freezer compartment. Underneath the freezer, you will find a wire shelf. The door also features two shelves that are able to hold one 1L bottle and three 0.5L beverage bottles at once. By the way, the wire shelf can be extracted to allow more place for bulky items. The thermostat is conveniently located near the freezer door, yet there's no backlight in the compartment and it's a bit awkward. The special tray is installed under the freezer to collect meltwater flowing from it after auto defrost. Indeed, some fellows of our reviewing team really like home appliances coloured out-of-the-way. That's why we picked the black model from three colour versions of this fridge. Apart from the black coating, the fridge is quad and looks like the world-known Malevich's Black Square. In general, the fridge looks quite unqiue and will vividly contrast with bright hues of your room. The manufacturer has taken care of the convenience and equipped the fridge with a reversible door and adjustable feet. The refrigerator has А+ energy efficiency class and consumes 110 kWh per year. Since the fridge's freezer has no ice tray, we suggest buying an additional silicone tray for making ice cubes.

Finally, we reviewed a great compact refrigerator, which exquisite appearance will brilliantly supplement any kitchen or office. The Russell Hobbs fridge will keep your foodstuff cool and its freezer will yield the ice for revitalising water and fruit drinks.

We are glad to bring one of the most energy saving compact refrigerators on our shortlist. Let's start with the fridge compartment that has a capacity of 67 L and contains two wire shelves and a small freezer. By the way, these shelves can be rearranged inside the fridge which is extremely convenient for placing large food items. The door baskets can hold four beverage cans and three 1L juice packs. Furthermore, you'll be able to arrange a mini bar in the fridge compartment by using a beverage organiser that will let you grab four cans or bottles at once. Since this compact fridge is defrosted automatically, it's been equipped with a water collection tray. Analysing the fridge, we've noticed that due to its own unique design, frosting inside the fridge goes evenly and without ice deposition. This option enables less energy consumption that makes 109 kWh per year on the whole. Besides, there's no real need to defrost it often. Speaking of conveniences, the fridge features a reversible door that can be opened to either side and adjustable feet that allow leveling the fridge on any flooring.

So, this mini refrigerator by Inventor Appliances is perhaps the best by the correlation between capacity and efficiency. The fridge is fully functional and doesn't imply frequent defrosting, so you will surely like this model.

The Caldura Compact is one of the tiniest refrigerators as of today. The fridge compartment holds 17 L and is designed for cooling at 10 to 5°С as the fridge has no freezer. The fridge contains a removable wire shelf in the compartment and one more shelf on the door. Generally, this fridge is designed for offices to keep a lunch or beverage bottles chill. Besides, the engineers painted the fridge black to mask it. If you've decided to buy this fridge, mind that its door opens only rightwards and it can't be reversed. However, Caldura company offers a model modification with a lock, so, if you need to keep your food away from other people's reach, look for that one. By the way, you can also purchase a great set of containers for convenient food storage optionally. We were surprised with a low energy efficiency rate considering the small size of the fridge. Yet, this isn't dramatic anyway. Since it's got no freezer, you can plug it out before going to sleep and this way, reduce costs on your bills. When it comes to conveniences, we need to mention the weight of the fridge that makes mere 8 kg, and, of course, its overall small dimensions (it's only 385 mm wide). Thanks to this, installing the fridge doesn't require a lot of space and it can easily fit under your kitchen table if necessary.

The Igenix IG3711 has a 47 L compartment accommodating a small freezer. This appliance has a wire shelf for placing enough foodstuff. The door features two balcony shelves and one of them can hold a 2 L bottle. On the whole, the Igenix IG3711 isn't different from other models but the lock inside still makes the difference. So, the lock makes this fridge a better option for hostels or large offices where food is exposed to many other people. Alternatively, the fridge may serve pretty nice for households with kids as the refrigerator allows storing prohibited foods and beverages like chilly eatables or strong spirits away from their reach. Additionally, the door of this compact refrigerator can be reversed while the feet are adjustable for installing the fridge properly on any surface. The cooling temperature is easy to set with the help of the built-in thermostat. The ice tray is, probably, the only item this Igenix mini fridge lacks, so we advise you to consider buying a silicone tray additionally if you'd like to make ice cubes for chilling cocktails on sultry summer days.

We'd like to say that the Igenix IG3711 compact fridge will be a nice choice for anyone, particularly for hostelers or office employees who need a food storage appliance.
