The Uber Chill UB-CH1 Mini Fridge is a charming personal cooler for cool rooms, best for office workers. Rated 4.1 out of 5 across 1,003 user ratings. The main drawback: only chills 32°F below room temperature. We scored it 3.9 out of 5.
The Uber Chill's charm is that it is tiny, quiet and runs from a wall socket or a car, but thermoelectric cooling only gets it to 32°F below the room around it, so it keeps cold things cold far better than it chills warm cans quickly.
NoFussDeal rates the Uber Chill UB-CH1 Mini Fridge 3.9 out of 5 at $66.49. Last updated September 26, 2026.
A thermoelectric module chills contents up to 32°F below the surrounding temperature, or warms them up to 135°F when the mode is switched. There is no compressor, so the unit is light and can run from a car socket.
The 4-litre cabinet holds up to 6 cans or 4 bottles of water. A removable plastic shelf splits the space for small items and lifts out to fit bottles upright.
Separate cords for a wall socket and a 12-volt car socket are included, so the same fridge can move from a desk to a road trip. It runs on 110 volts at home.
A low-noise fan on the back moves heat away from the cooling module, and the self-locking door handle keeps the door shut in transit. The plastic retro body is light enough to carry by the top handle.

Stand the fridge on a flat surface with at least 6 inches of space behind it so the rear fan can move heat away.
Use the home cord for a wall socket or the car cord for a 12-volt socket. The power socket and switches are on the back.
Flip the mode switch on the back to cool or warm. There is no temperature dial, only the two modes.
Run it empty for a while before loading, or leave it on overnight, since it takes time to reach temperature.
Put in drinks or food that are already cold. Remove the shelf if you need to stand water bottles upright.
Only for some buyers: we score it 3.9 out of 5. The Uber Chill UB-CH1 is a likeable, practical personal fridge: small, light, quiet and happy on a desk, a bedside table or in a car.
Rated 4.1 out of 5 across 1,003 user ratings, with 62% giving it five stars and 10% one star.
Takes a long time to cool warm items. Fan hum is always present while running.
Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, and dry it afterwards.
Plug into the car's 12-volt socket to keep drinks cool without ice. Unplug it when the engine is off for long periods to protect the car battery.

The Uber Chill UB-CH1 is a likeable, practical personal fridge: small, light, quiet and happy on a desk, a bedside table or in a car. It holds 6 cans or 4 bottles of water, switches to warming up to 135°F, and comes with home and car cords. Its thermoelectric cooling is the limit, chilling only up to 32°F below the room and taking time to get there, so it works best with drinks that are already cold in a normally heated room. Expect a constant soft fan hum and less certain long-term durability.
Buy it as a charming personal cooler for pre-chilled drinks and food in a room of normal temperature. If you need real refrigeration, fast cooling or reliable performance in heat, a compressor mini fridge is the better choice.
