Newair 3.1 Cu. Ft. Compact Mini Fridge with Freezer (NRF031BK00) review

The Newair NRF031BK00 is a two-door compact refrigerator with a separate freezer, and Newair lists a fridge range of 32°F to 50°F and a freezer range of -11.2°F to 10.4°F. Inside are adjustable shelves, a crisper drawer, a can dispenser and a spot for a two-liter bottle. It is Energy Star certified, Newair lists power consumption of 270 kWh, and its customer care team quotes a noise level of 45 dB. The footprint is 19.37 by 18.5 inches and the unit stands 32.95 inches tall, so it fits under a standard counter, though Newair asks for more than 12 inches of space above it and more than 4 inches from the wall. The door is reversible. Two points to know: the product headline mentions auto defrost, but the spec table and Newair's own customer replies say defrost is manual, and the freezer cannot be turned off on its own. Newair includes a 2-year warranty and lists the fridge at $249.99 with free shipping.
