Thermoelectric Cooling and Warming
A thermoelectric module chills contents up to 32°F below the surrounding temperature, or warms them up to 150°F (in a 75°F room), selected with a switch. It uses semiconductors instead of CFCs or refrigerants.
The Gourmia GMF600 Mini Fridge is a handy personal cooler with thermoelectric limits, best for office workers. Rated 4.2 out of 5 across 1,417 user ratings. The main drawback: durability is a concern. We scored it 4.1 out of 5.
Size and silence are the GMF600's appeal; how cold it gets depends on the room around it. It holds six cans, fits on a desk or bedside table, runs from a wall socket or a car lighter, and switches between cooling and warming. Because it is thermoelectric, it chills to about 32°F below the surrounding air rather than to a set temperature, so drinks come out cold but not icy, and some units give out after about a year.
NoFussDeal rates the Gourmia GMF600 Mini Fridge 4.1 out of 5 at $44.99. Last updated September 26, 2026.
A thermoelectric module chills contents up to 32°F below the surrounding temperature, or warms them up to 150°F (in a 75°F room), selected with a switch. It uses semiconductors instead of CFCs or refrigerants.
Two detachable cords are included: one for a standard wall outlet and one for a car cigarette lighter socket, so the same cooler works at home, in the office and on the road.
The 4-liter interior is sized for six standard cans, with a removable shelf to divide it. A self-locking latch keeps the door closed.
The small, lightweight body has a carry handle and fits on a desk, shelf or bedside table where even a dorm-size fridge would not.

Plug the AC cord into a wall outlet, or the DC cord into a car cigarette lighter socket.
Set it on a stable, level surface and leave space behind it so the fan can clear heat from the rear vent.
Run it empty for a while before loading so the interior is already cold.
Use the removable shelf for cans and small items, or take it out for taller bottles.
Load drinks and food that are already chilled; the cooler is better at keeping things cold than at chilling warm items.
Flip the switch to cooling or warming, then close the door so the latch clicks shut.
For most buyers, yes: we score it 4.1 out of 5. It is quiet enough for most desks and bedrooms.
Rated 4.2 out of 5 across 1,417 user ratings, with 65% giving it five stars and 7% one star.
Durability is a concern, with multiple reports of units failing after about a year. Cooling depends on the room temperature and never gets near freezing.
Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it before closing the door. Wipe the glossy exterior with a soft cloth.
Keep it shaded, secure it so it cannot slide, and unplug it when the engine is off for long spells.

The GMF600 is a personal cooler, not a fridge, and on those terms it works well: six cans, a latch that keeps the door shut, cooling or warming at the flip of a switch, and cords for both the wall and the car. It is quiet enough for most desks and bedrooms. Its cooling is tied to the room temperature, it never gets near freezing, space is tight, and durability is the biggest concern.
A quiet, compact six-can cooler that suits desks, bedsides and car trips; buy a compressor mini fridge instead if you need true refrigerator temperatures or more space.
