More Applications For The Mini Fridge

By Haley Richard


There are all sorts of different appliances, but few that pack as much bang for the buck as the mini fridge. Unheeded for many years, their stock is rising once more. Given their energy efficiency and small size, is it any wonder? As the following examples prove, they go far beyond the confines of the kitchen.

Of course, these refrigerators are going to be popular in dorm rooms. Ideal for the cramped conditions in most dorms, they provide the right amount of storage for the space available.

The tv room or den makes an ideal place for a mini fridge. Avoid running to and from the kitchen during sporting events, movies or parties by storing a stock of snacks and beverages in the same room as you are.

Put a mini fridge in the office. The best way to prevent your lunch from being eaten by coworkers is to keep it away from them in the first place. It also helps if getting away for lunch is difficult.

Their use in theatres is widespread. Keeping water bottles on tap for stagehands and actors is sometimes essential for health and safety.

A mini bar is one of the more popular suggestions for miniature fridges. It can keep alcohol away from children, but still keep things cold for after their bed time.

Replicating an industrial use on the small scale, if there are large amounts of medication that need to be kept at lower temperatures, the small icebox can serve the purpose without the loss of space in the main refrigerator.

Several miniature fridges come with 12V plug ins. Take it in your car during road trips and avoid having to stop for snacks. Long distance truckers do this all the time. Or take it camping and enjoy the outdoors with some creature comforts.

There are also unusual applications for miniature fridges. A pair of college students turned one into a beer cannon. Using an iPhone app of their own creation and a web cam, they aim and fire beers to waiting friends. Their demonstration video has over nine hundred thousand hits on YouTube and the beer cannon itself has been shipped across the Atlantic to be shown on BBC's The Graham Norton Show.

The mini fridge is frequently used in place of full sized models in Europe and in Great Britain. When there are only a few things to refrigerate like milk and eggs, they are much cheaper to operate and more efficient by far.
