COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator Review

Quick Overview

There is a good reason why refrigerators stand as the bestselling kitchen appliance on the market. While these are not as handy or as compact as a microwave or a food processor, without one, you would not be able to keep your food and beverages chilled and lasting fresh for longer.

One of the best things about the high-demand and tech revolution is that a few decades ago, the market was offering just a few different models. However, now you can choose between hundreds of models, taking into consideration the brand, price, performance, and eco-features.

One of the current trends related to refrigerators is that people are going for compact and mini-fridges. These are great for saving money on electricity bills and in most cases comply with Energy Star standards, which means people are acting environmentally conscious in the process as well.

 If you are looking to join the party, but you don't have the space for a regular fridge+freezer combination, we have something for you — the COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator is ideal for personal or commercial use as it is compact, reliable and comes at a fair price. Let's take a look at what you can expect from this fridge.

COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator 3.2 cu ft. Unit Small Freezer Cooler Fridge

Much like Danby or Gourmia, COSTWAY is a company that has been in the industry for years now. For this reason, you can safely put your trust in the quality of their products. While the performance of this fridge is one of its main pros, we have to say that what we like the most has to be the innovative and sleek design.

Who is this product for?

Frankly, this product can be used by anyone who is okay with a total capacity of 3.2 cubic feet. What this means is that it can be put in an average college dorm, smaller apartment, pantry, or an office. It is eco-friendly, which means you will be saving the money on electricity bills without losing the reliable performance of your refrigerator. 

What’s included?

What you are getting is a refrigerator with a separate freezer on top, so you don't have to open the refrigerator to get to the freezer compartment. Both sections add up to 3.2 cubic feet of compartment capacity. Along with that, there are a few glass shelves and a drawer that you will find handy for keeping fruits and vegetables. 

Overview of features

Unlike most of its competitors, this one features two doors instead of one, so you can use the freezer without having to let cold air out of the refrigerator to get your ice cubes.

It offers 2.2 cubic feet of capacity in the refrigerator compartment and nearly half of that for the freezer, which is more than enough for average needs. On top of all that, it packs sturdy and attractive inner shelves. All this makes this COSTWAY model a reliable choice that you will not regret.

The main reason why you should get the COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator is due to its innovative design and reliable performance. This means that for the affordable price, you will be getting both the refrigerator and a 1 cubic feet freezer, that would be handy for storing away meat and other products that are prone to fast spoiling.

Apart from the built-in door tall-bottle holders, you are getting two spill-proof glass shelves, as well as a crisper drawer that is going to go a long way towards keeping your fruits and vegetables fresh. One of the most important things about it is  that it cools down quickly and offers a consistent freezer performance even when fully loaded.

Yes, it may not be the quietest fridge for an office environment, but apart from that, it is something you should consider as a handy kitchen appliance. 

How to use it

Similar to other compact refrigerators, it all comes down to setting the proper temperature, and turning it on using the built-in switch. You can mechanically control the temperature on this model, making sure that both the fridge and freezer are running under optimal conditions.

Pros

• Modern, compact design
• Shelves are removable for easy cleaning
• Powerful and reliable
• Sturdy compartments

Cons

• Customer service is slow

Alternatives

Midea MHD-113FSS1 Double Door Refrigerator

As one of the best alternatives to the product we have taken a look at above, we would like to suggest this Midea Double Door Refrigerator. Much like the COSTWAY, it comes with two separate doors (one for fridge one for the freezer), and while it offers 0.1 cubic feet less of capacity, it still has a well-arranged interior compartment, including glass shelves and a separate drawer. 

Conclusion

We can’t say much against the COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator Freezer. It is not only one of the most affordable but also an attractive and reliable alternatives to most full-sized refrigerators that you have gotten used to over the years.

If you are environmentally conscious, and you want to save space and money, consider this COSTWAY mini fridge. If you are looking for something that has two doors with a fridge and freezer that boasts a veggie drawer, take a look at our alternative option.
