<p>Moving into a dorm in a couple weeks... Does anyone know of a good cube minifridge out there, 1.5 - 2 cubic feet?</p>

<p>Avanti has some cheap ones with auto-defrost, but they get some bad reviews.
Product</a> Catalog - Cube</p>

<p>GE's look OK, but they are manual defrost, meaning the ice builds up and you have to melt it, which sucks.

<p>Then I found this professional/medical company Summit, with this model
FFAR2L</a> : Summit Appliances</p>

<p>It costs more, but I would pay a bit more to avoid having to manually defrost, and to avoid having the thing break after 2 months...</p>

<p>Any other recommendations? Thanks!</p>

<p>personally I don't know of anyone who has defrosted their mini fridge.</p>

<p>maybe it just doesn't come up in conversation though.</p>

<p>i've never heard of anyone defrosting their fridge either.</p>

<p>my roommate has a fridge(i was to say its a frigidaire) that has a seperate real freezer. kinda nice feature, keeps bottles very cold</p>

<p>I never defrosted my mini-fridge either... well, except at the end of the school year when I had to take it home. The ice doesn't build up enough to need to do it regularly though...</p>

<p>I bought mine for $99 at wal-mart and it lasted both years I lived in the dorm.</p>
