How to choose the best mini fridge for home

The use is increasingly widespread and is a convenient and convenient way to store small amounts of food that must remain cold.Being like a traditional fridge but in a small format, they take up little space and, even in case of need, can be moved from one place to another.

Things To Consider Before Buying Mini Fridge:

Capacity:

The first thing we should ask ourselves is why we want it. It is not the same to need a vintage mini fridge for a couple of drinks than to store food. The traditional mini fridge usually has a capacity between 40 and 50 liters. From there, we can find them with all kinds of capabilities. For example, there are mini refrigerators where only 4 cans of soft drinks can fit.

The dimensions of the fridge will depend on its capacity. For example, we could be interested in having a mini fridge that has a freezer compartment, which will add dimensions to the appliance.

As a council, let's not only focus on the capacity but also on the interior distribution. If the shelves can be moved to change the height of the drawers, better than better. In this way, we will make better use of its capacity.

Energy consumption:

It may seem anecdotal, but it is not. The energy consumption must be taken into account since it is an appliance that will remain constantly plugged.

While a mini fridge will consume less than a traditional refrigerator, it consumes enough energy to notice the differences between an energy rating and another in the electricity bill.

Therefore it is recommended that you have, at least, the energy rating type A. Surely we will appreciate it in the short term. In spite of everything, there are also desktop models to be able to connect them to the computer through USB.

Is it noisy?

Maybe it's something we do not fall into until we start using it. However, if we are going to use the mini fridge in a bedroom or in a place where we value silence, it is important that it be silent.

Although we can also guide the opinions of other users, this point we can verify it with decibels that has the mini fridge.

Materials

There are many suitable and resistant materials for this type of appliance. The only thing we advise is that, if we are going to use it outdoors, we make sure they are made of stainless steel. In this way, we will know that it will better withstand the in clemencies of time.

As for the interior, being the two materials good for our purpose, it will always be better to opt for glass shelves than metal shelves. They are easier to clean and contain spills better.

Additional features

Some mini refrigerators have internal hangers for storing drinks cans or other concrete objects. Depending on what you want to enter, these details can be interesting.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
