Mini fridge

[Baroque Brass]

My wife wants a mini fridge for her office but I don’t know if they have to be manually defrosted, which could be a problem. She doesn’t need a freezer section, just the fridge. Anybody got experience with this? Thanks.

Think I saw one with out a freezer, but they are rare.
Mine is old school (in my shop) and I have to tote it outside every once in awhile to defrost - bit of a pain.

I`ve had one in my barn for years now and it`s never needed to be defrosted.

Yeah I had a small frost free in my office, bought at Costco. Kept lunch salads and drinks cold during biz hours. Kept brewskis cold for after hours.

And that’s the problem, she’s on the third floor and I’d have to do it for her, probably on a weekend. We’d have to have frost free.

Been using a mini-fridge for a while. When I defrost it, I just unplug it and put a few towels in there to soak up all the water; I never move it.

I have two in my office and both build up ice around the cooling coils after time. Both have a little freezer section that will fit three or four frozen dinners. I grab a hand truck and roll mine out on the dock once a year or so when they need defrosted.

I do also have a tiny one with no freezer that is 120v/12v that holds six 12oz cans or 4 12oz cans and something small like a sandwich. It's more of a cooler though, it won't get down really cold temps.

Don't know if it's an option or not, but I saw a 'use it as a fridge or freezer unit at Home Depot. It's not as small as the waist high dorm units but about half the size as a house fridge
