Why Should You Get A Mini Fridge ?
Saves You Money
The large refrigerators, especially the french door, top-freezer or the side-by-side refrigerators cost huge. Getting a good one of them can actually cost more than $2000. Besides, they don’t provide much value when placed inside the room or dorm. Just ask yourself, would you store meat, raw food items in your room? No right. Inside your room, you generally need a fridge which can hold a little amount of food, wine bottles or beer/soda cans, water or breast milk for your little one which is something a mini refrigerator can easily take care of.
Saves Space
Mini refrigerators are small in size, they can be kept anywhere and yet won’t consume huge space. They are most suitable for small office spaces, dorm rooms, bedrooms. People with limited space often consider replacing a full-fledged refrigerator with a mini-fridge. However, the replacement thing isn’t possible for people who live at home (because a mini-fridge might save space, but it doesn’t come with storage, power of a large fridge.)
Saves Electricity
A large refrigerator consumes 8-10 times more electricity than a mini-fridge. Higher the consumption, higher is the amount of the electricity bill. The energy consumption in a large refrigerator is totally worth when it’s used in a kitchen (as it would store a lot of food items, beer, and other items.) However, if you are a single person living in a dorm or even at home, a large refrigerator won’t make sense unless you are someone who can’t live without cooking “new recipes” on a daily basis.
Can Be Placed Anywhere
When I first bought a mini fridge, I placed it on my Desk. I also bought an undercounter mini fridge to keep it under the counter in my garage. The amount of space at your place won’t matter, because a small refrigerator can be kept anywhere! You can also carry it in your car or trucks.
With all these options, I’m sure you’ll be able to make a good decision on which Mini Fridge is best for you now!
