Cooluli 20L Mini Fridge For Bedroom - Car, Office Desk & College Dorm Room Glass Front Digital Temperature Control 12v Small Refrigerator for Food, Drinks, Skin Care, Beauty Breast Milk (Blue)

I originally started with the 4 liter mini-fridge, or more accurately, micro-fridge and was very pleased with it. I took it on long trips and would mainly put redbull in it (because on a long trip, who doesn’t love all the caffeine in the world) which would keep everything perfect while plugged into the car. I even love the heating feature which I used to heat water bottles up to use for a mini-shower when camping. The only issue with the 4 liter was I wanted more space. So, I decided to get the 20 liter. Just as pleased with the 20 liter as I was with the 4 liter. I live in a house with 5 other roommates so I needed to have a small fridge in my room and I decided to go with this instead of a mini-fridge you can get at in stores because I can just pack this up and take it with me wherever I go. It’s fantastic and holds what I need it to. I also was very impressed that the unit is able to go down to 15 degrees which I did not expect it to be able to do (good fridge for alcohol at that temperature). I do hear it at night every so often but it is by no means loud. It’s just a small hum that is only audible whenever it is absolutely silent in the room. I would recommend this fridge for people who would like a fridge that you are able to take with you to various places or travel a lot and still want a bit of room for a surprising amount of food and drinks. It also looks sleek which is a huge plus to me. I will say, even though I did know how much it would hold by comparison to my 4 liter, the pictures on the page do make it look slightly bigger than what it is; however, this isn’t anything that is a deal-breaker because it is able to hold quite the amount. I will give advice and say that if you are living in a dorm, I would recommend getting an actual mini-fridge as it is able to hold more and is comparable in price to this, but afterwards, I would say to get one of these if you needed a little more fridge space just due to the portability of the unit and also it has the dual function of being able to heat food as well (I don’t mean cook though because it maxes out at 149 degrees). The summary on the product is that although its biggest drawback is the size to price ratio (and I only say this because you can get bigger fridges for the same price), it makes up for it by having the versatility to be easily transported (which the size works to its advantage here) and it is able to function as a food warmer (which I first though was a neat gimmick but actually has a lot more uses than I had thought).

I was very surprised in the quality of this mini fridge and how well it works. I have purchased ones before and they do not keep things cold especially food. This fridge is sleek looking and a beautiful shimmery white color and light weight but sturdy. I keep this in my bedroom and it is very quiet when running. You only ear a light fan go on and off once in a while. It keeps food and drinks very cold . Some of my things get frozen sometimes depending on the ambient temp in my room and the temp I have it set on. I do not use the heat option so I do not know how that works but overall this fridge has really been wonderful. It has shelves that are removable . I would recommend this to anyone.

I bought this on delivery because the bigger, cheaper mini fridges were too heavy for me to carry from the parcel locker to my apt. Therefore I opted to buy this fancier, albeit smaller, unit because it had adjustable temperature control, the option to keep food cold or warm, use it in a vehicle for travel or camping. It had a lot to offer for the price tag it carries. Or so I thought. When it arrived, they brought it straight to my door, I was thrilled. Packaging was well done. Came with the cables for using it in the car/camping/room. I set it up, it's been two days since I've had it and it won't go any colder than 37 degrees F on norm no matter what I set the temperature for. My room is cool/cold depending on the time of day because I live in Texas. The heat is triple digits during the summer, but my room is lovely. When I set up my drinks, I moved them from the full size refrigerator to my room where this is being kept, just for convenience. So they were already cold. The top shelf that it came with was very flimsy and bows easily. I put three can sodas on it and it collapses. Reached out to the manufacturer, June 6, 2022, followed their ridiculous need to supply them with extra information: batch number, purchase order number, a video uploaded to streamable.com like they wanted and emailed them all this information included the link to the video and they haven't responded. Their chat support is useless and utilizes Zendesk; they disabled the ability to send them attachments to make it easier for the customer to demonstrate their issue. I contacted them the day I got it and set it up. No response to my email despite them saying they would. I had previously filled out the limited warranty information that included all the information they requested. Having to use their website to communicate the issue, you'd think with my account signed in, all of that would be there when I referenced the unit I purchased, but no. So I DEDUCTED a star rating on this mini fridge for the fact the top shelf is flimsy and all I asked for was a replacement shelf; the display is supposed to turn off after two minutes of inactivity, but instead it remains on full brightness even days later. Despite the unit being quiet and not exuding too much heat, it did not come with a protective plastic over the door panel, which allowed it to be scuffed up while it was being packaged. Unit has magnetic doors, which removable door shelves. It can fit a good number of cans in it. But pricewise, this isn't a good investment. Stick to the known brands offering mini fridges/small fridges for $99 over this. Final Update: Jun 16, 2022 -- after spending 10 days going back and forth with Customer Service, having them refute my issues with the unit and declaring if I was going to keep it, then the best they can do was offer a 20% discount, I took it to avoid having to find a way to ship this unit back to them and pay for shipping twice. I paid $162.36 after tax and shipping to get this unit. I would have been better off buying local and somehow wrangling it home. Due to this experience, I've dropped the rating to one star because customer service, insurance availability, following through with Limited Warranty fulfillment, and the entire experience has turned me off from this company. I will not buy another of their products again. Extra insult to this entire fiasco, they refused to let me update this review with the video, taking it down. I had to find the original video in my deleted files, recover, and repeatedly attempt to add it to this review with an update of the entire process to date. TL:DR ISSUES? Display doesn't turn off after a few minutes as their manual states it will. CS says "There's actually no option to manually turn off the LCD display of the unit" in the same passage that says "What happens was the unit that you have received maybe one of the batches of the unit that has the display that won't go off after a couple of minutes of inactivity". Read that sentence and read the above. I copied them word for word from their customer service email. They do not address the fact this unit will not cool below 37 degrees F even in a super cold room. They will not address the flimsy shelf. Best they could do was 20% and 10 days of ignoring me, blameshifting, and finally that "appeasement" credit back to my payment method. Last Update June 16, 2022.

I'm definitely a makeup/skincare junkie so of course I've seen and watched several reviews in the past on makeup fridges but just couldn't buy into the hype of shelling out a minimum of $100 for a cute but tiny little 4l appliance where the reviews seemed to be split. The 20l Cooluli solved that problem. I'm over the moon with my purchase. First things first. The manual states you can program it down to 16° but won't actually reach that low. I know it makes no sense to me either and upon my research guys that just seems to be the standard with most brands and models. Most of all the 4L, 8L, 10L, and 15L mini fridges usually don't go below 35°-37°f (note that ambient temp of the room plays apart in that). Once I read this one goes to 30°f and boasted 20l of capacity, and didn't have an annoyingly loud fan hum noise, It was ano brainer. The fan in my pink 4l Frigidaire mini fridge that I got for $20 on Black Friday is louder than this. Also you can't tell in the picture on this site but the satin blue color option is almost metallic looking color and ties into my room decor perfectly. All for only an additional $49 and free shipping compared to those tiny tiny baby units. It features a magnetic closure so there's no bothersome latches or handles. Which equals less moving pieces to possibly break. It Comes with a wall plug and ac adapter one for your car if you wish to bring it along on your travels. It does have a warmer built in which I guess is good for keeping warm food during those trips but I'll never use that feature. The led display is bright enough to see but won't keep you up at night. So far the coolest temp I've seen it reach was 32°f. Mine is by my window which I don't recommend (remember the ambient temp thing) but I'm short on space. The led stays on and I haven't checked to see if can be turned off. They're two shelves in the main body that come attached but can be removed and the same goes for the 2 basket shelves on the inside of the door. I love the refreshing feel of my cold products being applied to my skin. What can you store? Well I also have in there some quartz stone face rollers, sheet mask, various toners, serums, moisturizer, gell mask, face oils, eye patches, sunscreens, primers and setting sprays. It looks high end, doesn't feel cheap, and does what it's suppose to do. If you're on the fence on this one bite the bullet. You're not going to to find a makeup fridge this stylish, spacious, that can get this cool, has a led display, and has warm a feature all under 150.00. **Update the lowest temp achieved so far is reading 27° f and there's a layer of ice on the inside wall of my unit (this unit doesn't gave a freezer. How cool is that?

So to be honest, there is not one mini refrigerator that fits in the location where I needed it except this one. Absolutely none, and trust me, I scoured the internet. This unit sits in my dining area with the built-in social bar and overhead hutch which is the more elegant location of the house. Fortunately this mini fridge does exude a good amount of class to pull it off. The exterior is very nice and the motor is equally quiet. It blends nicely against the black marble wall and doesn't appear an eyesore, or out of place. The real challenges were the sagging shelves and making fifteen 8-ounce jars (using the white lidded versions) of homemade yogurt and twelve twelve-ounce rubber-capped/snap buckled bottles of Jun Kombucha fit the small spaces inside without collapsing the enclosed weak shelves. My husband came up with a great idea by using channel supports across the width ends of each shelf and it did the trick yet kept the interior looking professional. Fortunately the placement of the shelf locations made it very doable for me to separate the yogurt jars and stack one layer of 6 jars on the top shelf (on their sides), and stand a second layer of 9 jars upright on the shelf below. Beneath the middle shelf of yogurt I was able to stack my kombucha bottles onto their sides, head to tail in rotation which allowed me 12 bottles that can be slid out (like the old soda machines stacked their bottles). Otherwise the 12 ounce bottles were too tall to stand upright requiring removal of the first shelf which only permitted 9 bottles by doing so. I needed twelve bottles. It worked by putting them onto their sides! A couple of downfalls beyond the horrible shelves; there was zero information on the boxes, both exterior or interior for keeping the unit upright, so it takes a bit of wait time prior to cooling the unit down due to the refrigerant in the coils, and this is not a plug n play unit, meaning, don't start pushing buttons without knowing what they are for. This unit both cools and heats, and I love the fact that it makes my bottles of 'boocha' icy cold or will maintain a nice mediocre not-too-cool temperature, but the up and down buttons only work if you press the 'set' button first. So you will face frustration if you don't take a few minutes to read the included booklet to understand the 'process' for adjusting your temperature. I have no idea about portability as it's unlikely we will ever take it in the car. But for a permanent mini refrigerator to do what I needed it for, once the sloppy shelves were overcome with some ingenuity, it now provides exactly what I needed and was looking for, and it is a very attractive and quiet unit. I would suggest that the manufacturer reconsider their shelving and seek out something that not only offers more options of where to insert them, but is stronger and less flexible. I fully understand why so many previous reviews expressed their disappointment over this huge flaw in the design. For the cost of this unit, it truly cheapens it with shelves that literally will pop out of the side niches if too much weight is added. Most individuals will not be able to remedy this problem like we had. They could add channel supports (yes, it might cost a teensy bit more in production fees) that the consumer can use or forgo. I do feel allowing the shelves to be removed is a big plus, but the main flat shelves are absolutely useless as is, and will definitely affect their sales. Overall, I am happy, but I married a genius who fixes flaws in seconds! I gave it four stars overall for appearance, super quiet fan, and that it fits where I needed it. I removed a star for the shelving cheesiness. If they fix the shelf situation, we might consider buying another one for outside by the pool.

I've been using the Cooluli refrigerator in my office, running all the time. It works well and has been reliable. Some background: Since 2016 I have tried a number of different refrigerator models, both single- and dual-cooler. The single-cooler units were all terrible, blowing parts in their power supplies within a few months -- and in one case, within only a few WEEKS. The dual-cooler model I used prior to the Cooluli was better than average in that it blew only one of its two coolers in the first 6 months, the second thankfully lasting another year. But even that model was showing problems within the first few months, with its LED temperature display losing segments one after another. (This was an especially surprising failure ... it probably means they were over-volting the display, i.e. just bad engineering. The cooling unit failures I took the time to diagnose were more of the same sort of poor engineering, but at least those were stressed parts of the design. LEDs are not!) Given this prior experience I wanted to give the Cooluli some burn-in time before I posted a review to be reasonably sure of its longevity. It's been almost three months of continuous use and this Cooluli 20L has been 100% reliable: No failures of controls, display, or either cooling unit. Furthermore, it is easily the quickest I have used when it comes to bringing down the temperature from room temperature into the mid- to high-30F range. This suggests to me that the cooling units are running well within their capabilities, which was obviously not the case with most of the other models I used. If there's anything at all to complain about -- and I'm really getting into nits to even mention this -- it's that the touch sensors used for on/off and temperature control are easy to bump accidentally. The office cleaning crew sometimes does this, either changing the temperature or even turning the refrigerator off completely. (The fact that they have done this several times is how I know just how fast the unit gets cold again.) So: If you're looking for a small refrigerator that does a good job of cooling stuff down, and that is probably not going to blow a capacitor after a few months of use, this one seems to be a nice choice. Recommended.

I bought this during the pandemic after my brother got himself one. I resisted the urge, until I found out that people kept using my stuff in the fridge without permission, plus I wanted an optimal storage environment for my beer. Throughout this entire time, I had questioned whether or not the thermometer provided within this unit was actually accurate. So, as the years passed on, I put a glass of water in the cooler and let it sit in there for a good period of time until I felt it was long enough: after putting the thermometer in the glass of water, it was roughly accurate to the temperature on the display of the mini cooler. Fair enough. However, given that these units have the inherent flaw of excessive condensation (and icing over on the back), it wasn't until this year when I found that mould growth, of all things, happened to the label and even on the bottle of my beer(s) that I was keeping for the sake of cellaring. This made me realise that perhaps despite the obvious lack of circulation, humidity control was at stake and in question, including the temperature. So after I bought a couple of thermometer/hygrometer combos this year (it was a 2-pack), I stuck the other one in this here cooler to validate the readings of the display. It turns out that it is in excess of 5 degrees Fahrenheit above the actual reading of the device. On top of that, the humidity level far exceeds optimal storage (it reads within the 80 percentile and above especially now), even with two 100g desiccant bags, which might be my futile attempt at controlling RH levels; the one I put in there is accurate with temperature, but is a little off by about 5% or so in RH in comparison to the one I separately bought in my bedroom (which is far different than the one I put in this cooler)*. This is concerning, because that makes it very rife for mould growth. Any beverage with a cork put in it like a champagne or sparkling wine, needs about 60%-75% RH on average for optimal storage in order to help stave off mould growth, at least on the surface. Luckily, I haven't seen that happen around that area, yet. * For the sake of comparison, I put the thermometer/hygrometer that I normally use for my room in the cooler while I was allowing it to dry out and warm up (while obviously off), and the only difference was it went from 50% RH (my room) to 55% RH (the cooler). I couldn't put it in there while it was in use since it was full whenever I have it on. I've been using a drying towel on the floor of the cooler to help mitigate the issue with condensation getting on the bottom of my drinks. Interestingly enough, it did keep my canned sardines wrapped in foil actually fresh enough to be consumed literally a week later with no issue. Unfortunately, I have to do this almost biweekly due to the "mould incident" I had earlier this year, and that includes a lot of wiping up to keep the condensation off. It's also worth mentioning that based on this unit's design, it really doesn't have the best insulation in the world (and its magnetism is notoriously weak, which makes it easier for the door to be propped open on accident, even when it's full and perhaps when certain conditions allow it), but for low-urgency items such as makeup, sodas and maybe even baby formula (which still needs ideal refrigeration), and what it uses, it isn't exactly surprising. But it does make one question: for $140, couldn't you have better spent it on a mini fridge that has a compressor and an internal fan, instead? It's not entirely likely, but you'd have to save a little more money and even desk space for stuff like that, and you also have to factor in the amount of power they require from the wall in order to kick on the compressor and maintain that temperature; compressors notoriously put on such a huge inductive load that it does, in fact, far exceed the inductive load that these thermoelectric coolers put on the whole circuit. So, after all this was said and done, I can conclude that thermoelectric coolers often have dodgy/questionable quality and reliability, and this one provides exactly that. However, for things like keeping your canned and bottled drinks (i.e. sodas, water and most beers) cool enough for consumption, this isn't entirely an issue. But for more temperature sensitive items like baby formula and dairy products, or perhaps cellaring, I would recommend looking for an actual mini fridge if your room can allow that (there are some dodgy mini fridges out there, too). Or, if you really want stuff like this, I would absolutely buy an inexpensive thermometer and hygrometer that will let you put it inside your cooler almost unobtrusively for a better look at its internal temperature and humidity, so you can actually make sure that your items in question are getting the proper environment they need to be in without too much compromise.

The size of the fridge is decent but I have seen various other thermoelectric fridges that don't take up as much space for the mechanics. So there is a lot of wasted space back there. Still it is more space than what I need. The shelves and baskets are easy to remove. I use this fridge for my kefir grains but it does such a poor job of maintaining the temperature it is set to and if you know about kefir grains, temperature control is really important. I leave it alone for 24 hrs straight sometimes 36 and the temperature is always off by -10 to +5 from the desired temperature. My home temperature fluctuates between 74-79°F. So you would think that it should be able to do 70-73°F with no problem since it is dependent on ambient temperature but NOPE! Unfortunately, there are no other options for quality temperatures controls. However, there are the same products for less like the Eventor and Green Lion and other off brand products that cost less than $50 on Amazon. I'm still deciding on whether I should return this one and save myself $100 for a different product that also has such lowesy temperature control accuracy as this one does. Don't. Other talking to customer service as I did as they will repeat over and over that it is dependent on ambient temperature. O my use this fridge if you want your products very cold or very hot.
