Russell Hobbs Grey Scandi 4L Mini Cooler

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.

This mini fridge is to the size that is mentioned, and can hold as many bottles as stated; I use it for slightly larger cans, and it can fit three normal sized cans and keep them cool throughout the day🙂Is it very easy to use, and just requires a simple plug in and turn on; it comes with all the necessities, and can even be used in a vehicle! It is also extremely lightweight, so perfect for those who just want a simple, compact, mini fridge for all different purposes🙂I have yet to clean it, but it seems easy enough to clean! Definitely worth the money!

Attractive and looks to be well made and light to pick up and carry. Size wise very small so mine took about 8 of those little ginger shots bottles and one additional small wrap. Sits nice on the desk and quieter than a small fan. Took about 3 hours to get cold. Good for the home office to save u getting up but probably only going to use in summer months

really nice little fridge, sits lovely on my desk and is perfect for storing my cosmetics. runs nice and quietly

Looks exactly like the picturesFeels good qualityVery very quiet running and cools down very quickSo far very impressed

Great little cooler. Bit noisy but other reviews had alerted me to this. Portable. Works well and keeps the milk in my little glass milk bottles cold for my morning tea.

This isn’t bad, it keeps my face cream feeling cool, but I wouldn’t describe anything that comes out of it as cold. Thermometer puts it at just a few degrees below room temperature. Nowhere near the 20° below ambient advertised. Otherwise it feels solid and sturdy, not cheap like some others, the car charger makes portability much easier and the noise is akin to low level white noise, which I actually quite like.
