🧊 Russell Hobbs RH4CLR1001B – Full Review This mini cooler packs a 4-litre capacity, enough to hold 6 × 330ml cans, snacks, or even skincare gear. It’s powered by AC (mains) and DC (car adapter), making it ideal for bedrooms, caravans, site vans, or desktop setups. The unit features a thermoelectric system that cools up to 20°C below ambient or warms up to 65°C above, giving it dual-purpose flexibility. The design is retro-inspired, with smooth curves, a chrome handle, and a glossy black finish. It’s lightweight at 2kg, whisper-quiet at 27dB, and includes a foldable carry handle for easy transport. ✅ Pros Dual function—cooling and warming in one unit Compact 4L size—fits 6 cans or small items AC/DC power—use at home or on the go Lightweight (2kg)—easy to carry Quiet operation—just 27dB Retro design—stylish and functional Ideal for drinks, snacks, cosmetics, or skincare ❌ Cons Manual defrost—no auto-clean cycle No internal shelf—single compartment only Limited cooling depth—best for pre-chilled items No temperature control—fixed hot/cold modes 🧠 Personal Verdict This cooler’s proper kit for van life, site breaks, or home desk setups. I’ve seen it used for energy drinks, face masks, and packed lunches, and it holds up—quiet, clean, and no faff. The dual power and hot/cold switch make it a flexible grab-and-go unit. For around £34–£55, it’s a smart grab for anyone who wants portable cooling with a bit of retro flair.

I was extremely surprised about how good this little fridge is. I went to it after it had been on for 6/7 hours and it didn't feel that cold. I did however put a couple of cans of coke in and they came out really cold. Its compact, light weight and most importantly it isnt noisy. A really really good gizmo. Would definitely recommend!!

Lovely little mini fridge. I purchased it to store my skincare products in my bedroom. It is quite small but just about holds everything after removing the shelf. I bought it on offer for £29.99 and I feel like even that is £10 overpriced, but it truly is so quiet that it makes up for the price. I am a light sleeper, even the sound of a fan bothers me, but this fridge is hardly audible.

I bought this for my bedroom to store my supplements in to keep them fresh as they need to be refrigerated. This mini fridge/cooler works perfectly. The size is ideal for my bedroom and sits neatly on the side. It gets surprisingly very cool. In the current heat I've also been cooling my socks in it to keep my feet cool on a night and it works wonders. I find it's compact size very sturdy and strong. I was worried that the humming sound might keep me awake but it is honestly very quiet and even soothing. I ended up buying a 2nd one to store my body mists, moisturisers and after sun lotions in. They do have a warming option too and are portable with an adapter supplied for car use but I haven't used it in this way (yet). This little cooler is very versatile and has many uses. I wouldn't be without mine now. Also, I think they are very good value for money.

Love this fridge perfect for cans of coke and couple treats! Will come in handy for overnight stays keep my 1 pint milk cool! Isn't loud either would definitely recommend

Worked well to cool 440ml cans for a few days but then started to heat them rather than cool them even though the switch was on the Cool position and the indicator light was green as it should be. I can only assume the switch was faulty. It took me a while to get an Amazon support person on chat but he immediately agreed a return for refund which was great news as it was only six months old. I'll probably get another one the same.

Majority of the time I am bed bound due to a terminal illness. This is compact whilst plenty big enough to keep a small 1 pint milk carton. Very quiet running and keeps my milk cold, maybe a few naughty chocolate bars as well. Pleased.

When I received the item I had high hopes. I was happy with the size, as it's ideal for medication, insulin and other bits inside my bedroom. The noise is not too bad and I like the humming of the fan to help me sleep. Before I trusted it with my medication I left it running for 36 hours to test the temperature. All good for that time. The temperature was measured with a medical grade thermostat. Temperature was around 2 to 4°c which is perfect. Then on the third day the temperature reached subzero which is not great. Then for a week it remained around 6 and 7°c but since it's been increasing 1 degree a day. Today the temperature was higher inside de fridge at 17°C than outside 10°c so clearly this item is not made to last. I don't believe this item is made to be on all the time, neither to be stopped and starting many times. I'm disappointed with the way this brand created this item, with an A+ energy rating but with a product that looks and feels cheap and clearly faulty. Also Amazon sent me a used item which I didn't mind of and was aware but I'm not happy that they just wrapped it up and sell it again knowing that item is flawed. I'll just have to buy another one, this time new but ultimately it's better to pay a bit more and get a proper countertop fridge.

Being in a shared room of two, to store and chill few items personally of me, this product serves me well.After many months of enquiry and searching, i bought this product from amazon. Even milk bottle can be kept chilled for until its expiry.Keeping bananas,milk,chocolates,juices and milk drinks since i bought it. Keeps these items very chilled. The fan produces only a minor sound thats not at all audible unless we project our ears to it. Very well recommended.

This is a good quality mini fridge. It keeps items cold as expected and performs reliably for everyday use. Operation is consistently quiet, with no noise issues during use. The only limitation is cooling performance, which is around 18–22°C below ambient temperature. A lower cooling range would improve the product. Overall, it is a solid and practical device.

Like- compact, stylish, very quiet. Keeps milk cool. Lightweight and comes with main and car charger power leads. Dislike - 1l milk will not fit, having to buy smaller cartons which is fine. Using a uk-Au adapter as comes with UK plug.

Very convenient

I bought this for the office. It looked good. It fitted just one little milk carton with the shelf removed - in hindsight I would have preferred a little bit bigger fridge. It broke after 13 months - does not cool any more.
