Upstreman 1.7 Cu.ft Mini Fridge with Freezer - Quiet Compact Dorm

In this review the Upstreman 1.7 cu.ft mini fridge emerges as a sensible pick for students, office users, and anyone needing a compact secondary refrigerator. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of genuinely small footprint and practical features: at about 18.9in by 17.7in by 19.3in it fits under desks or on counters, yet includes a small freezer and adjustable temperature control to keep drinks and leftovers reliably cold. It is an easy, low-energy solution when you need basic refrigeration without a lot of space or noise.

Key Features

• Compact dimensions: The 18.9in x 17.7in x 19.3in size lets the unit sit on a counter, under a desk, or beside a bed without dominating the room.
• Adjustable thermostat: Five temperature settings from 33.8 F to 46.4 F let you tailor cooling for beverages and perishables, though it is not intended for ice cream storage.
• Built-in freezer: A small freezer compartment makes ice cubes and keeps items frozen for short-term storage.
• Low noise operation: Rated at about 38 dB, the fridge runs quietly enough for bedrooms, dorms, and offices where low disturbance matters.
• Energy-efficient refrigeration: With a daily consumption near 0.5 kWh, it is cheap to run and uses R600a refrigerant with lower environmental impact than older options.
• Manufacturer support: The product comes with a one-year quality and service guarantee for added confidence.

Who It's For

This mini fridge is ideal for dorm residents, small-apartment occupants, home office workers, and those who need a secondary fridge for drinks and ready-to-eat items. Its compact footprint and quiet operation make it a good fit where space and noise are concerns, and the adjustable thermostat gives enough control for everyday chilled food and beverages.

It is not suited for primary kitchen refrigeration needs or for storing large frozen items long-term; if you need large capacity, multi-shelf organization, or deep-freeze storage, a full-size refrigerator or a dedicated freezer would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very compact size that still holds a surprising amount, reportedly fitting a gallon of milk upright in the fridge compartment.
• Adjustable temperature control down to about 33.8 F for flexible use with drinks and perishables.
• Quiet operation around 38 dB makes it suitable for bedrooms and study areas.
• Low daily energy use (around 0.5 kWh) and environmentally friendlier refrigerant.

Cons

• The small built-in freezer is convenient for ice but not for long-term frozen storage or bulk frozen foods.
• Noise reports are mixed for some users, so placement and surface can affect perceived sound.
