Overview
The Nostalgia RF6RRAQ trades full-size capacity for portability: a retro-styled mini fridge holding six 12-ounce cans, switching between cooling to about 45F and warming to about 130F relative to room temperature, on either home AC or a 12-volt car outlet.
- Holds six 12-oz cans plus a slide-out shelf
- Cools to about 45F or warms to about 130F
- Includes both AC and DC power cords
- Built-in carry handle for portability
Who it's for
Fits a desk, dorm room or car for keeping a handful of drinks cold or a lunch warm without a full-size fridge. Not the choice for anyone needing to chill more than six 12-ounce cans or larger bottles, or who wants a fridge that stays cold in a warm room.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several reviewers report years of trouble-free daily use keeping drinks cold or a lunch warm, and like the slide-out shelf for separating cans from food. Others describe shipping damage to the latch or handle on arrival, condensation building up inside after a few days, and one reported the unit sparking and failing after about eight months.
