Having a dorm refrigerator should be a must when you move into your dorm room.  Keeping things cool from drinks to leftovers, it’s hard to live without one.  This is why today, I’m going to show you the top three refrigerators on the market that you can use for your dorm room.  First things are first though, we want to look at a few things before you go out and purchase that first refrigerator for your dorm.

• Size- Make sure that when you’re looking at a refrigerator, you’re looking at the size.  You’re going to want one that doesn’t take up a lot of space but gets the job done right.
• The Price Tag – This refrigerator is most likely going to be used for a few years, so don’t go out and buy one for over $1,000.  Keep it simple and try to stay cheap.  If you have a roommate, try and get him/her to help pitch in.
• Keep it simple – Some refrigerators get pretty complex.  Try and keep it simple and get one that simple keeps things cold, this will be more than enough!

Now, I did a little research on some review sites and here’s what I came up with when it came down to the top three dorm refrigerators on the market –

Haier HNSB02 1.7 Cu-Ft. - $100 or less

This compact sized refrigerator is everything a college student needs.  Enough to fit a few drinks and leftovers in and it’s great for the value!  It includes a slide out wire shelf, a half-width freezer compartment, and 7 setting adjustable thermostat.

Compact Freezer – Stainless Steel - $100-$200

If you’re looking for a refrigerator that has a little bit more “class” and style, you may want to look into this compact fridge.  From it’s stainless steel features to it’s door lock, this luxury fridge may seem expensive but it really isn’t.  You can find one of these for less than $200!

Sanyo 3.6 Cubic Foot Refrigerator - $150-$250

This Sanyo will cost you the most money out of the three but if you look at it’s features, you may want to spend the extra money to get one.  The Sanyo has 3 interior and 3 door shelves, a crisper, and a full-wide freezer!  It’s a full blown fridge shrunk into a smaller size.  You can choose from white or black.

There are hundreds of dorm refrigerators on the market, just do your research and make sure it’s something that will fit in your dorm room.  It’s always best to check it out in person and then proceed to purchase it online since you can get a better price.  Keep in mind that when you’re done with your college years, you can always sell it on Ebay and get most of your money back!
