1. Whytner TBR-185SR Portable Tool Box Refrigerator

Our first contestant, the Whytner TBR-185SR Portable Tool Box refrigerator. This tool box refrigerator has two tool box compartments and the top and fridge compartment, it really is an all-in-one kind of machine.

This machine has a powder coated red with a full stainless steel exterior. This item has heavy duty metal drawers, secure locking door, double rolling casters, interior lighting and an auto defrost feature.

This cool looking refrigerator has a capacity of 1.8 cubic feet and has a mechanical temperature control where the temperature ranges from high 30℉ to mid 60℉.

WHAT WE LIKE

The great thing about this product is that it has multi-directional wheel casters with a lock, which makes it convenient for moving it around. We know that tool boxes are always moving around, which means that having a fridge and tool box in one that can be relocated to wherever you need will provide the convenience for you.

The fridge has a powerful compressor cooling that provides the ultimate cooling for your beverages and meal.

Another great feature is that it has two roller guided easy-slide metal drawers. The drawers add the perfect charm for keeping all your tools in one place, right above the fridge, quite literally. If you’re looking for an all-in-one tool box refrigerator this right here, is the one.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

The downside is that this fridge doesn’t have an inverter, but you can use an inverter as long as it can support the maximum power supply of 60 watts, 115 volts and 60 hertz.

Weighing at 82 pounds, the fridge could be lighter and adding extra items into the item will definitely cause the weight of the fridge to increase. Just be aware of that.

Unfortunately, this fridge doesn’t come with a freezer so if you need to freeze any food, this machine doesn’t have that capability.

The RCA RFR180 fridge is truly showing you the definition of a mini fridge. The spotless steel door will leave no trace evidence of a fingerprint, which might be the benefit you’re looking for. We know it can get a little frustrating when you see so many fingerprints on your fridge.

The 1.7 cubic foot mini fridge has a built-in adjustable thermostat so you can keep all your drinks and food the temperature you desire. This fridge is compressor cooled so it will perform well no matter the temperature of the outside or inside.

There is a freezer compartment that comes with this refrigerator so your frozen goods actually stays frozen. Along with a two liter bottle holder that is on the sides of the door. This fridge has a space saving flush back design and a reversible door, so for all left-handed folks, this is the convenience we know you care about.

WHAT WE LIKE

The great thing about this product is that it is literally small enough to keep in your garage. If you’re worried about this fridge taking up extra space that you might need for something else, this mini fridge will not take up a lot of space.

The fridge has an adjustable thermostat and compressor cooling, so if you like your food and beverage to stay at a certain temperature, you can adjust it according to your preference.

Another great feature is that this mini fridge has adjustable legs at the bottom. If you want the fridge at a slightly taller height, so it doesn’t kiss the ground of your garage, you have the option to do that too.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

The downside is that this fridge doesn’t come with multi-directional wheel casters with a lock. The fridge will have to stay at the spot you choose, so make sure you’ve allocated a good spot for this one. Otherwise, you’re going to have to do some moving around.

Due to its size, it really is as small as it comes. The size is only big enough for you to store maybe a couple of two liter bottles, a few drinks and a bit of food. If you’ve ever played Tetris, then you better use your Tetris skills.

It’s pretty convenient when you can have two separate compartments in a fridge. A freezer space and a refrigerator space. Luckily for you, the GE GDE03GGKBB mini fridge, may be a mini fridge, but comes with the freezer space at the top.

This fridge’s capacity is at 3.1 cubic feet and has an ENERGY STAR double-door compact refrigerator feature and a bright interior lighting. The shelves in the fridge are made out of glass that is easy to clean and comes with a can rack for your alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.

The fridge has a durability-tested compressor that has been tested for extreme conditions to deliver you with the most reliable performance. The handles are recessed so you don’t have to worry about walking into the handle, plus it’s easy to open and close.

The fridge has a partial automatic defrost meaning your fresh-food section is kept frost-free while the freezer needs to be manually defrosted.

WHAT WE LIKE

The great thing about this product is that it has two separate compartments for your frozen and fresh foods. You don’t have to worry about keeping it inside a small freezer compartment like the RCA mini fridge and have them stored separately.

The fridge has an adjustable thermostat and compressor cooling, so if you like your food and beverage to stay at a certain temperature, you can adjust it according to your preference.

Another great feature is that this fridge has multiple stacking compartments in the fridge section. Tall drinks, canned drinks, container foods, fruits, you name it, this fridge has the right amount of space you need.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

Alas, the downside is that this fridge doesn’t come with multi-directional wheel casters with a lock. Although it has an adjustable leg, the fridge will have to stay in its allocated spot. And with the fridge weighing at 56 pounds, you don’t want to be moving this heavy machine around too often.

The glass shelves add a nice touch, but might add a little stress when the time comes for you to clean it. Be careful when taking the glass shelves out because once it breaks that’s another added cost of having to find the shelves that fit.

We’re back with another tool box designed mini fridge! The Igloo RFR329 Red Garage Fridge Tool Box has a unique design to it. With a 3.2 cubic feet capacity of cooling space you will have plenty of room to store all of your beverages and food. 

The fridge uses a power compressor that will guarantee your drinks stay cold all with low energy consumption. Added bonus, the bottom of the fridge has 4 caster wheels so you can roll it around and find the perfect spot. Once the fridge is in the perfect spot, lock down the wheels.

This works as the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend their time in a garage that comes packed with interior lighting and an adjustable leveling leg so you can adjust it on uneven grounds. 

WHAT WE LIKE

The design of this mini fridge really blends well with a garage. The deceptive design of tool handles on the exterior of the fridge really just makes it look like a standing tool box but we both know that there’s more to it than that.

The fridge has an adjustable thermostat and compressor cooling, so if you like your food and beverage to stay at a certain temperature, you can adjust it according to your preference.

Another great feature is that this fridge has multiple stacking compartments in the fridge section. Tall drinks, canned drinks, container foods, fruits, you name it, this fridge has the right amount of space you need. You can completely convert this fridge into a full-out drinks fridge or you can make it into your own little food and beverage fridge with all the drinks and foods to keep you satiated.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

Unfortunately, the fridge does not have a separate freezer compartment. It’s actually part of the interior of the fridge so you can imagine the size of the freezer compartment.

Unlike the Whyter garage fridge, this fridge does not have a tool drawer. The design is a little deceiving so you’re going to have to keep all your tools in that tool box of yours.

All right folks, if you’ve been into the retro design of fridges then the Retro Compact Refrigerator, Safeplus is the one to be thinking about. This fridge’s capacity is 3.2 cubic feet and will store your snacks and drinks and make sure they stay cool.

The design of this refrigerator-freezer looks super retro, yet still has the appeal of a modern appliance. The Safeplus fridge has an adjustable thermostat, separate freezer compartment, bright interior lighting and is spacious. The fridge also has removable shelves and door shelves.

Grab all your tall and short drinks because this fridge is ready to store them all. If you’re the type of person that doesn’t like fridges that make that loud buzzing noise, then this is the perfect item. Safeplus operates at a sound of no more than 40 decibels.

WHAT WE LIKE

The retro design of this fridge is just amazing. Add a retro touch to your garage or room with the modern appliance features.

The fridge has an adjustable thermostat and compressor cooling, so if you like your food and beverage to stay at a certain temperature, you can adjust it according to your preference.

Lastly, the bright interior lights. If you ever get that midnight snack craving and it’s dark, then this fridge will literally light your line of view.

WHAT WE DONT LIKE

You probably already know what we’re going to say about the freezer compartment. It just doesn’t work if you have more than a couple of items to store in the freezer. Unless you’re good at Tetris and love stacking things, it’s just not worth your time.

So one of the compartments of the fridge is an issue. Like most mini fridges they come with a retractable drawer inside to usually store your fruits and vegetables. This fridge though, well, all we can say is don’t put your fruits down there.
