While your kitchen fridge is the most popular and frequently used refrigeration appliance in your home, many people decide to buy a second refrigerator to use elsewhere. A popular choice is a mini fridge, which is advantageous because of its compact size. This allows you to place the mini fridge in several areas, including a home office, a gaming room, or even a home gym. There are lots of different mini fridge models on the market, and you can browse a selection of products when you visit a local appliance shop. Here are three popular mini fridge models that may interest you.

Glass Front

A lot of people choose mini fridges that have a glass front. Not only does this small appliance make it easy to identify what you want to retrieve before you open the door, but it also offers a stylish look. A glass front mini fridge that is stocked with cans or bottles of some drinks that you enjoy, for example, can be an appealing addition to many different areas of your home. If you have a man cave-style room in which your friends gather to watch sports, a glass front fridge with a selection of beverages and refrigerated snacks can be fun.

Retro

When you visit an appliance store, you'll often see full-sized fridges that have a retro look. This design can work well in certain homes, either as the primary fridge in the kitchen or as a secondary fridge in another part of the residence. Retro mini fridges can vary a lot in design. Many of them have curved corners rather than sharp corners, which creates a softer look. You'll also find them in bright, cheerful colors, rather than standard hues such as stainless steel and black. A bright red mini fridge, for example, can be a focal point of the room to which you add it.

Fridge/Freezer Combo

While a lot of mini fridges are exclusively designed to refrigerate your products, there are some models that feature a small freezer. A mini fridge/freezer combo unit offers good functionality in places where you may want frozen goods. In a home theater, for example, you can fill the freezer compartment with ice cream bars to enjoy while you watch a movie. Or, in a home office, you can have some ice cubes in the freezer compartment when you want to lower the temperature of whatever you're drinking.
