I found these 'mini' refrigerators to be the perfect size when I was in England. They hold enough for a single person easily. This one is incredibly quiet, and it seems to work the way I would expect a fridge to work: my food stays fresh and doesn't freeze. Speaking of freezing, I haven't tried the freezer. I don't tend to use it, but I imagine it's fine for ice cubes.  Ice cream, maybe not. I wish it didn't have the manufacturer's logo so prominently on the door, but that's a minor thing.
