It may seem unnecessary to buy a mini fridge for your home — after all, there's already a regular-sized fridge in your kitchen that likely has plenty of space available. But don't underestimate how much better your life could be if you had a mini fridge in, say, your office, bedroom, or game room, so you can easily grab a cold drink to help you get through the afternoon without interrupting your work, rest, or gaming. Or maybe you're looking to buy one for your kid's dorm room or to keep in your home office for lunch and a couple of cold drinks. Whatever your specific situation is, there is probably room for a mini fridge in your life.

And now that you've decided to buy one, you may be wondering about the expense — but don't worry, there are plenty of affordable options out there. We've compiled a list of some of the best, well-priced mini fridges for you to consider, so you don't have to do any of the work of browsing yourself. Every fridge on this list is under 150 bucks, so you don't have to break the bank to have this fun and convenient luxury in your life.

For our first pick, we have a straightforward black mini fridge with a clear door. This one from R.W. Flame is a good option if you want a fridge just to hold cans of soda or sparkling water. It holds up to 24 regular-sized cans despite its somewhat compact size (roughly 11 inches wide, 16 inches high, and 15 inches deep). Or, with fewer cans, there's also room for larger drink containers, such as wine bottles or juice cartons. The fridge has temperature control, so you can choose your preferred chill (anywhere between 40 and 61 degrees Fahrenheit). It also has a long cord (5.26 feet), so you can easily move it around the room to best fit your space. Buy the R.W. Flame mini fridge cooler from Wayfair for $125.99 if it isn't on sale.

It has a vintage-style design and a bright blue color, making it as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical. Additionally, it's fully insulated with a heavy-duty locking latch to keep all of the coolness contained. Worth noting is that this one is on the smaller side — it only fits nine cans — so you'll want to keep that in mind when you're planning what you'd like to use this fridge for. Buy the Frigidaire retro mini refrigerator from Home Depot for $44 or $34.99 on sale.

This mini fridge has a feature that may make you choose it over the rest: a small freezer compartment. Yes, this mini fridge from Igloo also has a mini freezer, which could come in handy — especially if you're keeping this fridge at work and want to store, say, a couple frozen meals for convenience. Of course, the freezer portion is quite small, so it's only meant for a couple of items. However, the fridge portion has plenty of space for a range of different items — you can even fit full bottles of juice, for example, and still have plenty of room for smaller drinks and other food items. This fridge also has an adjustable thermostat, with a range of 32 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. It comes in either platinum or black, so you can choose the color that best fits your space. Buy the Igloo single door mini fridge with freezer from Home Depot — the black finish costs $129.99 while the platinum finish costs $134.99.

This fridge is also advertised as suitable for beauty supplies that need refrigeration, as well as food or drinks, and it even has a mirror on the door for convenience. Even if you use this fridge for refreshments, the mirror may still come in handy if you're keeping it somewhere like your office.
