Cooluli 20L Mini Fridge For Bedroom - Car, Office Desk & College Dorm Room - Glass Front & Digital Temperature Control - Small 12v Refrigerator for Food, Drinks, Skincare, Beauty & Breast Milk (Pink)

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 bought this on delivery because the bigger, cheaper mini fridges were too heavy for me to carry from the parcel locker to my apt. Therefore I opted to buy this fancier, albeit smaller, unit because it had adjustable temperature control, the option to keep food cold or warm, use it in a vehicle for travel or camping. It had a lot to offer for the price tag it carries. Or so I thought. When it arrived, they brought it straight to my door, I was thrilled. Packaging was well done. Came with the cables for using it in the car/camping/room. I set it up, it's been two days since I've had it and it won't go any colder than 37 degrees F on norm no matter what I set the temperature for. My room is cool/cold depending on the time of day because I live in Texas. The heat is triple digits during the summer, but my room is lovely. When I set up my drinks, I moved them from the full size refrigerator to my room where this is being kept, just for convenience. So they were already cold. The top shelf that it came with was very flimsy and bows easily. I put three can sodas on it and it collapses. Reached out to the manufacturer, June 6, 2022, followed their ridiculous need to supply them with extra information: batch number, purchase order number, a video uploaded to streamable.com like they wanted and emailed them all this information included the link to the video and they haven't responded. Their chat support is useless and utilizes Zendesk; they disabled the ability to send them attachments to make it easier for the customer to demonstrate their issue. I contacted them the day I got it and set it up. No response to my email despite them saying they would. I had previously filled out the limited warranty information that included all the information they requested. Having to use their website to communicate the issue, you'd think with my account signed in, all of that would be there when I referenced the unit I purchased, but no. So I DEDUCTED a star rating on this mini fridge for the fact the top shelf is flimsy and all I asked for was a replacement shelf; the display is supposed to turn off after two minutes of inactivity, but instead it remains on full brightness even days later. Despite the unit being quiet and not exuding too much heat, it did not come with a protective plastic over the door panel, which allowed it to be scuffed up while it was being packaged. Unit has magnetic doors, which removable door shelves. It can fit a good number of cans in it. But pricewise, this isn't a good investment. Stick to the known brands offering mini fridges/small fridges for $99 over this. Final Update: Jun 16, 2022 -- after spending 10 days going back and forth with Customer Service, having them refute my issues with the unit and declaring if I was going to keep it, then the best they can do was offer a 20% discount, I took it to avoid having to find a way to ship this unit back to them and pay for shipping twice. I paid $162.36 after tax and shipping to get this unit. I would have been better off buying local and somehow wrangling it home. Due to this experience, I've dropped the rating to one star because customer service, insurance availability, following through with Limited Warranty fulfillment, and the entire experience has turned me off from this company. I will not buy another of their products again. Extra insult to this entire fiasco, they refused to let me update this review with the video, taking it down. I had to find the original video in my deleted files, recover, and repeatedly attempt to add it to this review with an update of the entire process to date. TL:DR ISSUES? Display doesn't turn off after a few minutes as their manual states it will. CS says "There's actually no option to manually turn off the LCD display of the unit" in the same passage that says "What happens was the unit that you have received maybe one of the batches of the unit that has the display that won't go off after a couple of minutes of inactivity". Read that sentence and read the above. I copied them word for word from their customer service email. They do not address the fact this unit will not cool below 37 degrees F even in a super cold room. They will not address the flimsy shelf. Best they could do was 20% and 10 days of ignoring me, blameshifting, and finally that "appeasement" credit back to my payment method. Last Update June 16, 2022.

This refrigerator is simply the best. I have had a major abdominal surgery and I needed to set up an area where I could be self-sufficient during daytime when nobody would be here to help me. I needed to be able to keep things cold. I needed a place where if I used a half a can of soup I could put the other half can into a container with low effort and make sure that it's stayed cold. This thing is fantastic. It's small, but no wasted space. It has been one of the best purchases that I made in order to move my recovery along in a speedy way. It's very easy to use, it keeps everything just as cold as it needs to be for a refrigerator and it even has a warming feature although I'm not using that and I could take a camping for me if II love it. I recommend it 100%.

Update: I contacted the Cooluli customer service and since the warranty was still active, they sent me a replacement because of the malfunction with the temperature indicator. They made it very easy and quick. Upgrading the review to 4 stars for the exceptional customer service that made the process a breeze. Original: After using the Cooluli Concord-20LDX Mini Fridge for about eight months, I've had a mixed experience. While it does its primary job of cooling items effectively, there are significant issues that potential buyers should be aware of. Pros: - Compact and Portable: The fridge's dimensions (11.25" W x 13.75" D x 16.25" H) and weight (13 lbs. 12 oz.) make it highly convenient for small spaces like dorm rooms, offices, or for travel purposes. Its sleek design is also a plus, fitting well in various settings. - Versatile Use: It functions well as a cooler for various items, from beverages and snacks to skincare products and medications, which adds to its utility. - Eco-Friendly Operation: The thermoelectric cooling system is energy-efficient and ultra-quiet, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Cons: - Shelf Design Flaw: The most significant issue I've encountered is with the movable shelves. They tend to fall off in the rear due to having very little lip to sit on. This design flaw required a makeshift solution of adding braces with double-stick tape to keep them in place, which you'd not expect to do with a new appliance. - Malfunctioning Temperature Display: Another critical drawback is the temperature display malfunctioning within a few months of use. It consistently shows an erroneous temperature of 110+F despite the interior being cold, as expected. This fault in the digital thermostat is disappointing, especially since it's one of the features that set this model apart (I purchased it for that reason). - Durability Concerns: These issues raise questions about the product's overall durability and quality control. While it still performs its cooling function, the reliability of other features and components is questionable. Conclusion: The Cooluli Concord-20LDX Mini Fridge excels in its primary cooling function and offers excellent versatility and a stylish design. However, the problems with the shelf design and the malfunctioning temperature display significantly detract from the overall user experience. These issues, particularly in a product that's only been in use for less than a year, are concerning and suggest room for improvement in design and manufacturing. It's a decent choice if you're willing to overlook these flaws, but you should consider other options for those seeking a more reliable and well-rounded mini fridge experience.

I'm giving this unit a five-star rating because its features and limitations are well and clearly described, both on the Amazon site and in the user manual (which can be viewed on the site before purchase). There are some very good features, which is why I bought this unit, but also some drawbacks. I will describe them below. I tracked the temperature using a Govee precision thermometer (H5103) and the power consumption using a Govee Smart Plug Pro (H5086). The Big Positives: 1. This unit weighs very little, so it is relatively easy to carry around (e.g., from home to car to hotel room). 2. It is extremely quiet (essentially silent), even when the fans are running. 3. The unit can be powered from a car's 12-volt outlet, so it can be used in the car while traveling. This can be important for medicines that need to be kept refrigerated at all times. I have also bought a portable power station that can run the refrigerator when the car is stopped at a rest area (or in the rest area if the car would get too hot). The Negatives: 1. The cooling power is minimal. It takes essentially its full cooling power just to maintain a temperature of 35 degrees inside when the outside temperature is 80 degrees. As the manual suggests, the unit is best used to keep pre-cooled items cold, not to cool them initially. As an experiment, I put in five room-temperature, 12-oz drink cans. The inside temperature rose by 17 degrees over the next hour, reaching 56 degrees. Then the temperature began to drop but did not come down to 5 degrees above the set point until 4 more hours later. (The exponential approach to equilibrium had a half-way time constant of two hours -- i.e., 120 minutes. For the empty refrigerator, that time constant was 21 minutes.) 2. The unit actually uses a lot of electricity. My decades-old, full-size refrigerator-freezer uses only about 60% more power! This is to be expected with thermo-electric cooling, which is much less efficient than a compressor (but offers the great advantages listed above). This unit would probably not be a good choice for non-mobile applications; a unit with a compressor would be much heavier but far cheaper to run. 3. The temperature readings on the display (set point and current temperature) are not as accurate as I would have expected. Some of the difference may be because the sensor is in the wall of the unit, not in the middle of the space. The actual temperature of the air in the middle of my unit is about 4 degrees higher than the readout and setting values. The temperature readout also indicates that the set temperature has been reached long before the air in the middle has gotten close to the set point.

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.

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.
