10 Dorm Fridges That Are Perfect for Small Spaces

You'll definitely appreciate the clear glass door on this dorm fridge because it lets you see what's inside without opening it, which makes it even easier to tell at a glance when you need to restock your favorite beverages. This model has removable shelves, can fit up to 55 cans, and includes an interior blue light that you can keep on or off while the door is closed.

For under $100, this mini fridge is a great budget-friendly option. It’s big enough to hold a 2-liter bottle of soda on the door, plus all the food, drinks, and late-night snacks you’ll need. There’s also a mini freezer compartment for frozen treats and an adjustable thermostat control.

Galanz really gives you everything you want in a dorm fridge with this compact and fully accessorized option. The separate freezer section on top does a better job of keeping frozen things actually frozen than the mini freezers built into some fridges, and the large capacity crisper is ideal for fruits and veggies.

Turn your fridge into an impossible-to-miss to-do list with this Frigidaire dorm fridge that has an eraser board surface on the front. It even includes a set of markers so you can write reminders, grocery items, and other notes for yourself. Inside it has a tiny freezer section, and if you're a big sparkling water or seltzer drinker, you'll like that its door has a built-in angular can holding shelf.

If you need a freezer with your mini fridge, your best bet is to get one such as this Costway model that has the freezer completely separate from the refrigerator — that way the food in there never gets too warm. With a crisper drawer and a wire frame for holding soda cans vertically, this dorm fridge offers a surprising amount of storage space and is a great stand-in for a regular full-size fridge.

Get the retro look for cheap with this tiny Frigidaire dorm fridge that has helpful accessories such as a built-in freezer section at the top of the fridge and a bottle opener on the side.

Get a ton of food storage space at an affordable price with this Danby dorm fridge that's on the larger side. It boasts 4.4 cubic feet of storage and has four roomy shelf areas to hold enough food and drink for two people.

This retro dorm fridge is in the middle price range and offers a larger storage capacity than our tiniest retro Frigidaire find. It's available in four color options so you can choose the right one for your home's decor scheme, and it has an adjustable temperature control knob so you can make sure your beverages never get too cold (or too warm).

This simple and small dorm fridge is ENERGY STAR-certified to make it less of a drain on your electricity bill, and it boasts a compressor that can produce as little as 36 decibels of noise at its quietest — that's just barely louder than a whisper. You can use this unit in your home office or in an infant's room where it can hold formula and/or breast milk without waking the baby up with any loud noises.
