This retro-look compact fridge is so cool you’ll wish you had a full-size one in your kitchen. Perfect for dorm rooms, rec rooms, campers, or tailgate parties, the portable unit measures 11-1/2 by 12 by 17 inches, weighs 16 pounds, and with the included 12-volt power adapter can run off a vehicle cigarette lighter socket as well as a regular outlet. The fridge even comes in handy for carting home ice cream from the grocery store in hot weather and storing heat-sensitive photographic equipment on a road trip. Not only does it chill the equivalent of 21 quarts (twenty 12-ounce cans or four 2-liter bottles) down to 38 degrees F, but it will keep pizza or picnic dishes warm up to 140 degrees F. Ambient air temperature will affect how cold or hot the interior of the unit gets (cools approximately 40-45 degrees F below outside temperature). Foods should not be kept in heater mode for longer than 45 minutes due to potential bacterial growth. The fridge should be placed on a hard surface rather than on carpet or grass, which could block upward airflow from underneath. --Ann Bieri
