Cooluli 20 Liter Mini Fridge with Temperature Control - Black

Perfect for what I need it for and useful for other things too. This is a thermoelectric fridge so you have to keep your expectations in check, but it does much better than other thermoelectric fridges I’ve tried. The room it’s in ranges from 75 degrees to 77 degrees and the fridge ranges from 33-35 or so. The temperature shown on the display is going to be the temperature closer to the back of the fridge. The door of the fridge will always be a bit warmer, mine ranges from 42-45 (still in range for most medications though which is nice). If you’re using it for medication I’d stick a thermometer in there with your medication so you can be sure since the temperature can vary depending on the spot of the fridge, but overall I’m very happy with the cooling. The size is also great, the display turns off after two minutes for me (I noticed some people said this didn’t work for them but it do work for me). My only complaint is the shelves aren’t great but that’s not a big deal for me.

I originally started with the 4 liter mini-fridge, or more accurately, micro-fridge and was very pleased with it. I took it on long trips and would mainly put redbull in it (because on a long trip, who doesn’t love all the caffeine in the world) which would keep everything perfect while plugged into the car. I even love the heating feature which I used to heat water bottles up to use for a mini-shower when camping. The only issue with the 4 liter was I wanted more space. So, I decided to get the 20 liter. Just as pleased with the 20 liter as I was with the 4 liter. I live in a house with 5 other roommates so I needed to have a small fridge in my room and I decided to go with this instead of a mini-fridge you can get at in stores because I can just pack this up and take it with me wherever I go. It’s fantastic and holds what I need it to. I also was very impressed that the unit is able to go down to 15 degrees which I did not expect it to be able to do (good fridge for alcohol at that temperature). I do hear it at night every so often but it is by no means loud. It’s just a small hum that is only audible whenever it is absolutely silent in the room. I would recommend this fridge for people who would like a fridge that you are able to take with you to various places or travel a lot and still want a bit of room for a surprising amount of food and drinks. It also looks sleek which is a huge plus to me. I will say, even though I did know how much it would hold by comparison to my 4 liter, the pictures on the page do make it look slightly bigger than what it is; however, this isn’t anything that is a deal-breaker because it is able to hold quite the amount. I will give advice and say that if you are living in a dorm, I would recommend getting an actual mini-fridge as it is able to hold more and is comparable in price to this, but afterwards, I would say to get one of these if you needed a little more fridge space just due to the portability of the unit and also it has the dual function of being able to heat food as well (I don’t mean cook though because it maxes out at 149 degrees). The summary on the product is that although its biggest drawback is the size to price ratio (and I only say this because you can get bigger fridges for the same price), it makes up for it by having the versatility to be easily transported (which the size works to its advantage here) and it is able to function as a food warmer (which I first though was a neat gimmick but actually has a lot more uses than I had thought).

I had to come back and adjust this review from one to three stars. Let me start with the positive. Excellent style compact size and seems to do the job really well at first. Apparently, it has a heating mechanism as well? But I’ve never used it. I bought this merely to keep my cream cold for my coffee. It was the only one that had the dimensions I needed. So I had to return this twice, because the first time the seals weren’t working, so the fridge was accumulating a massive amount of ice inside. It’s already very small capacity so when it’s full of ice, it’s really not that useful. The company was cool and they sent me a replacement and the replacement I noticed has the same issues with the seals… anyway I didn’t have time to complain to them anymore or teach them how to make a better product, so I just went with it. Fast forward to you and I smell smoke, I look and I cannot figure out what’s coming from- it turns out that the fridge is smoking and perhaps the fan got hemmed up? I’m not really sure so I just took it out, threw it in the trash. It had some potential, but the hinges on the fridge won’t allow for a tight seal, which creates problems inside. And the fan component is in the back, seemed to get jammed up from dust which could potentially cause a fire. I missed the days when you could buy a fridge in 1950 and it would last until 2020! Fridge makers need to go back and study, and get rid of this planned obsolescence strategy. The consumer will pay more for a high-quality product that lasts longer.

I make vegan artisanal cheeses and live in a city apartment so the 20L Cooluli cooler fit the size and look of the only space I had for a dedicated cheese grotto. I haven’t ever seen anyone convert a thermoelectric cooler (rather than a refrigerator) to a cheese cave before, so I went into this knowing it’s a DIY modification. And I’m delighted so far! First of all, the temperature holds fantastically. I need my cheeses aged for a few months between 50-60 degrees. I set the electronic thermostat to 55 and it’s holds between 53-55, depending on how often I open that little front door. It’s a small space, so opening the door will affect the temp a degree or so pretty quickly. The thermostat is easy to use - LOVE simple computers! I can hear when it’s actively cooling by the sound of the external fan and it rarely has to work - so: far more energy efficient than a refrigerator with a compressor. The external fan’s sound is what I consider quiet. I have the set up in our solarium - not my bedroom:) When my young cheeses are shelved, the internal humidity goes up to 90% and I need it between 70-85% for long term aging, so I found a desiccant used for safes in the electronics section at London Drugs for $15. Brings the humidity right down to 80% which is ideal for this purpose. As the cheeses age, the humidity lowers a bit more. Before I found the desiccant, I just collected those tiny desiccant pouches from supplement bottles, food bags and protein powder containers and those also work well - if you have enough of them! Those can’t be reactivated in the oven though. The former can. Because there is no internal fan in a thermoelectric cooler, I do wipe the floor and walls with a cloth twice a day to collect condensation. Again, this is necessary to control the humidity. For air flow, I currently just rely on opening that little door two times / day when I affinage the cheese and wipe the humidity. So far so good. The cheeses are aging nicely. If I want more air flow in the future, I would simply drill all the way through the wall next to where the door hinges are because there are no electrical components there and it’s just plastic. I doubt I’ll need to do more than that (like install a small fan) because cheeses don’t want too much air flow - just enough to breathe. You can see for this purpose, I added a third ventilated shelf by drill-cutting holes in a plastic cutting board and using sticky electric cord clips (used in offices to try to keep your cords organized) down the side. Perfection. Plus the cherry on top is this little 20L unit’s design is retro, attractive and matches my other solarium decor. Would recommend!

So to be honest, there is not one mini refrigerator that fits in the location where I needed it except this one. Absolutely none, and trust me, I scoured the internet. This unit sits in my dining area with the built-in social bar and overhead hutch which is the more elegant location of the house. Fortunately this mini fridge does exude a good amount of class to pull it off. The exterior is very nice and the motor is equally quiet. It blends nicely against the black marble wall and doesn't appear an eyesore, or out of place. The real challenges were the sagging shelves and making fifteen 8-ounce jars (using the white lidded versions) of homemade yogurt and twelve twelve-ounce rubber-capped/snap buckled bottles of Jun Kombucha fit the small spaces inside without collapsing the enclosed weak shelves. My husband came up with a great idea by using channel supports across the width ends of each shelf and it did the trick yet kept the interior looking professional. Fortunately the placement of the shelf locations made it very doable for me to separate the yogurt jars and stack one layer of 6 jars on the top shelf (on their sides), and stand a second layer of 9 jars upright on the shelf below. Beneath the middle shelf of yogurt I was able to stack my kombucha bottles onto their sides, head to tail in rotation which allowed me 12 bottles that can be slid out (like the old soda machines stacked their bottles). Otherwise the 12 ounce bottles were too tall to stand upright requiring removal of the first shelf which only permitted 9 bottles by doing so. I needed twelve bottles. It worked by putting them onto their sides! A couple of downfalls beyond the horrible shelves; there was zero information on the boxes, both exterior or interior for keeping the unit upright, so it takes a bit of wait time prior to cooling the unit down due to the refrigerant in the coils, and this is not a plug n play unit, meaning, don't start pushing buttons without knowing what they are for. This unit both cools and heats, and I love the fact that it makes my bottles of 'boocha' icy cold or will maintain a nice mediocre not-too-cool temperature, but the up and down buttons only work if you press the 'set' button first. So you will face frustration if you don't take a few minutes to read the included booklet to understand the 'process' for adjusting your temperature. I have no idea about portability as it's unlikely we will ever take it in the car. But for a permanent mini refrigerator to do what I needed it for, once the sloppy shelves were overcome with some ingenuity, it now provides exactly what I needed and was looking for, and it is a very attractive and quiet unit. I would suggest that the manufacturer reconsider their shelving and seek out something that not only offers more options of where to insert them, but is stronger and less flexible. I fully understand why so many previous reviews expressed their disappointment over this huge flaw in the design. For the cost of this unit, it truly cheapens it with shelves that literally will pop out of the side niches if too much weight is added. Most individuals will not be able to remedy this problem like we had. They could add channel supports (yes, it might cost a teensy bit more in production fees) that the consumer can use or forgo. I do feel allowing the shelves to be removed is a big plus, but the main flat shelves are absolutely useless as is, and will definitely affect their sales. Overall, I am happy, but I married a genius who fixes flaws in seconds! I gave it four stars overall for appearance, super quiet fan, and that it fits where I needed it. I removed a star for the shelving cheesiness. If they fix the shelf situation, we might consider buying another one for outside by the pool.

I've been using the Cooluli refrigerator in my office, running all the time. It works well and has been reliable. Some background: Since 2016 I have tried a number of different refrigerator models, both single- and dual-cooler. The single-cooler units were all terrible, blowing parts in their power supplies within a few months -- and in one case, within only a few WEEKS. The dual-cooler model I used prior to the Cooluli was better than average in that it blew only one of its two coolers in the first 6 months, the second thankfully lasting another year. But even that model was showing problems within the first few months, with its LED temperature display losing segments one after another. (This was an especially surprising failure ... it probably means they were over-volting the display, i.e. just bad engineering. The cooling unit failures I took the time to diagnose were more of the same sort of poor engineering, but at least those were stressed parts of the design. LEDs are not!) Given this prior experience I wanted to give the Cooluli some burn-in time before I posted a review to be reasonably sure of its longevity. It's been almost three months of continuous use and this Cooluli 20L has been 100% reliable: No failures of controls, display, or either cooling unit. Furthermore, it is easily the quickest I have used when it comes to bringing down the temperature from room temperature into the mid- to high-30F range. This suggests to me that the cooling units are running well within their capabilities, which was obviously not the case with most of the other models I used. If there's anything at all to complain about -- and I'm really getting into nits to even mention this -- it's that the touch sensors used for on/off and temperature control are easy to bump accidentally. The office cleaning crew sometimes does this, either changing the temperature or even turning the refrigerator off completely. (The fact that they have done this several times is how I know just how fast the unit gets cold again.) So: If you're looking for a small refrigerator that does a good job of cooling stuff down, and that is probably not going to blow a capacitor after a few months of use, this one seems to be a nice choice. Recommended.

The Cooluli Concord is a typical peltier-based refrigerator. Well, maybe. I'm not 100% convinced there's a heat pump in this. But regardless, on to the actual review. This unit can chill well below ambient for a peltier-style cooler and even has a fairly slick design, all while being well below the cost of most refrigerators. But that's not to say there aren't issues. The unit does not seem to have a well insulated design. The front of the device is cold to the touch; meaning that the cool air within is definitely being dissipated outside. This is only one side of the device however, and the side that is usually less insulated than the rest, even on large expensive fridges. But with such a small footprint that could be causing it to lose out massively on efficiency and performance. Further, the devices thermostat seems less than stellar or accurate. It seems to have a few degrees of deviation. Now, that sounds terrible, but in all likelihood, it doesn't matter as it cannot usually go far enough below ambient for the thermostat to be useful other than to display the temperature. The interior is about as well laid out as it could be, the shelves are pathetically weak, but you'd be hard pressed to find something heavy enough to break them that could also fit in the fridge. Overall, the Concord does what it set out to do, and does it fairly well; it can cool it's 20 Liter capacity well below ambient temperature, does it rather quietly, and doesn't exhibit any major problems. All at a reasonable price. But the concord has serious and major flaws. It's insulation is lacking on the front door, it is a peltier system so cannot cool more than 20-30 degrees below ambient in even the best case, and the shelves are cheap. You should be prepared to deal with or work around these issues if you buy this product. Pros: 1. Cheap for the performance, and overall feels well-made. 2. Can get well below ambient, performing well for this type of cooler/frige. 3. Low profile in noise and size. Cons: 1. It's still cheap feeling in many places. It's obviously plastic on the sides, and not in a good way, and the shelves are crap. 2. It cannot reach your specified temperature if it is significantly below ambient. You can't use this to keep your beer cold in the desert. It just can't do it. 20-30 degrees below ambient in the best case, remember that. 3. The front door seems to be lacking insulation. This would normally not be a problem if con #2 didn't exist. This could likely be giving up an extra few degrees of performance. It's electrical usage is not particularly notable. Not a lot, but not significantly less than anything else in its price class. 80W is what it is specified for. I'd personally like to see them offer a double wattage variant, or switch, that provided more cooling. Edit: It's now a couple years later, and the fridge has committed self-die in some ways. The fans are glued on, and not easy to repair for no good reason. I'm reducing my star rating drastically because that makes this fridge essentially doomed to a landfill for most people. Why use glue? It's just not necessary. The fans also have frankly disgustingly cheap bearings. They will become absurdly loud in no time.

I bought this during the pandemic after my brother got himself one. I resisted the urge, until I found out that people kept using my stuff in the fridge without permission, plus I wanted an optimal storage environment for my beer. Throughout this entire time, I had questioned whether or not the thermometer provided within this unit was actually accurate. So, as the years passed on, I put a glass of water in the cooler and let it sit in there for a good period of time until I felt it was long enough: after putting the thermometer in the glass of water, it was roughly accurate to the temperature on the display of the mini cooler. Fair enough. However, given that these units have the inherent flaw of excessive condensation (and icing over on the back), it wasn't until this year when I found that mould growth, of all things, happened to the label and even on the bottle of my beer(s) that I was keeping for the sake of cellaring. This made me realise that perhaps despite the obvious lack of circulation, humidity control was at stake and in question, including the temperature. So after I bought a couple of thermometer/hygrometer combos this year (it was a 2-pack), I stuck the other one in this here cooler to validate the readings of the display. It turns out that it is in excess of 5 degrees Fahrenheit above the actual reading of the device. On top of that, the humidity level far exceeds optimal storage (it reads within the 80 percentile and above especially now), even with two 100g desiccant bags, which might be my futile attempt at controlling RH levels; the one I put in there is accurate with temperature, but is a little off by about 5% or so in RH in comparison to the one I separately bought in my bedroom (which is far different than the one I put in this cooler)*. This is concerning, because that makes it very rife for mould growth. Any beverage with a cork put in it like a champagne or sparkling wine, needs about 60%-75% RH on average for optimal storage in order to help stave off mould growth, at least on the surface. Luckily, I haven't seen that happen around that area, yet. * For the sake of comparison, I put the thermometer/hygrometer that I normally use for my room in the cooler while I was allowing it to dry out and warm up (while obviously off), and the only difference was it went from 50% RH (my room) to 55% RH (the cooler). I couldn't put it in there while it was in use since it was full whenever I have it on. I've been using a drying towel on the floor of the cooler to help mitigate the issue with condensation getting on the bottom of my drinks. Interestingly enough, it did keep my canned sardines wrapped in foil actually fresh enough to be consumed literally a week later with no issue. Unfortunately, I have to do this almost biweekly due to the "mould incident" I had earlier this year, and that includes a lot of wiping up to keep the condensation off. It's also worth mentioning that based on this unit's design, it really doesn't have the best insulation in the world (and its magnetism is notoriously weak, which makes it easier for the door to be propped open on accident, even when it's full and perhaps when certain conditions allow it), but for low-urgency items such as makeup, sodas and maybe even baby formula (which still needs ideal refrigeration), and what it uses, it isn't exactly surprising. But it does make one question: for $140, couldn't you have better spent it on a mini fridge that has a compressor and an internal fan, instead? It's not entirely likely, but you'd have to save a little more money and even desk space for stuff like that, and you also have to factor in the amount of power they require from the wall in order to kick on the compressor and maintain that temperature; compressors notoriously put on such a huge inductive load that it does, in fact, far exceed the inductive load that these thermoelectric coolers put on the whole circuit. So, after all this was said and done, I can conclude that thermoelectric coolers often have dodgy/questionable quality and reliability, and this one provides exactly that. However, for things like keeping your canned and bottled drinks (i.e. sodas, water and most beers) cool enough for consumption, this isn't entirely an issue. But for more temperature sensitive items like baby formula and dairy products, or perhaps cellaring, I would recommend looking for an actual mini fridge if your room can allow that (there are some dodgy mini fridges out there, too). Or, if you really want stuff like this, I would absolutely buy an inexpensive thermometer and hygrometer that will let you put it inside your cooler almost unobtrusively for a better look at its internal temperature and humidity, so you can actually make sure that your items in question are getting the proper environment they need to be in without too much compromise. EDIT 7 MARCH 2026: It seems as of a month ago, the cooler itself is now totally failing: I have long set it for 42-45 degrees Fahrenheit, and it has been crawling up in temperature as the days and even weeks pass by. Right now, it's basically room temperature at 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This unit has a pretty small lifespan, for what it's worth.

Alcanza en frío 16 F o 3 C. No menos de eso, es decir. NO CONGELA pero es bastante aceptable si quieres una bebida helada. Lo que yo noté es que es algo ruidoso, por lo que NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA HABITACIONES, sin embargo, entre los frigos con diseño, este es hermoso pero CHECA LAS DIMENSIONES porque es algo grande. Si quieres que congele tendrías que comprar un freezer pero son bastante feos y grandes, en este puedes meter yogurts y los mantiene bien, pero un hielo se derrite dentro, llega a hacer escarcha por el frío y solo la bebida que coloques justo en la entrada de aire frío tendrá algo de hielo en su interior, el resto solo estarán frías. El mejor minifrigo para oficina que he adquirido para mí ha sido éste, porque los más pequeños no enfrían nada, mantienen solo fresco y alcanzan solo hasta 20 C máximo.

UPDATE: great, so far! The door fully seals all the way around. It's very quiet. It did take almost the entire day to cool down to 40°F, but it's got a lot of room and the shelves are secure and stable! I use it to store insulin and other medications, snacks for diabetes, and skincare. It's normal for these types of coolers to create condensation inside, which needs to be wiped out every week. If people are finding that ice builds up in the cooler, it could be because the cooler isn't sitting far enough from the wall. It needs to be at least 2 full inches from any walls/surfaces to ensure the neccesary ventilation of the device.

Nos encantó para el consultorio. Se ve hermoso! Su color es aperlado bellísimo!

Works great as travel cooler, keeps food cold when grocery shopping. Had it in my room at work camp and exceeded my expectations
