FAQ of KelyLands Mini Fridges

Explore detailed answers to common questions about mini fridges

Mini fridges are designed to store a wide range of items, including beverages, snacks, cosmetics, skincare products (like lipsticks, serums, eye creams, face creams), and even temperature-sensitive medicines such as insulin. They’re often referred to as “skincare fridges” or “makeup fridges” due to their popularity in the beauty industry.

Our mini fridges feature durable ABS or PP plastic bodies, rounded edges, and modern aesthetics. Some models include LED vanity mirrors, digital temperature displays, glass or custom doors, and smart app control via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Many are lightweight, portable, and offer hot/cold dual modes for year-round use.

We offer a wide range of capacities: from compact 0.5L, 2.5L, 4L and 5L units ideal for cosmetics or a few cans, up to larger models like 6L, 9L, 10L, 12L, 14L, 15L, 20L, 25L, 26L and 28L—suitable for bulkier items, drinks, or food storage.

Yes, most of our models feature dual-mode functionality. They cool approximately 16–20°C below ambient temperature and heat between 45–65°C. This makes them versatile for summer cooling and winter warming, all controlled by a built-in thermostat.

 

Absolutely. Our fridges are eco-friendly, 100% freon-free, low in energy consumption, and operate quietly—making them a sustainable and safe choice for daily use.

  • Below 10L:

    • Low-power models (for cosmetics): 27W ±10%

    • Higher-power models (for food/drinks): 35W ±10%

  • 10L–15L:

    • Skincare fridges: 45W ±10%

    • Food/drink fridges: 50W ±10%

  • Above 15L: 71W ±10%

  • Dual-cooling models consume more power than single-cooling ones.

Our mini fridges use thermoelectric (semiconductor) cooling, suitable for refrigeration but not freezing. They typically cool up to 16–20°C below room temperature. For sub-zero freezing, we recommend our compressor-type models, which can reach temperatures as low as -18°C.

Some condensation is normal due to temperature differences. To reduce moisture, wipe the interior with a soft cloth twice weekly, or place a desiccant pack inside to help absorb excess humidity.

Our mini fridges are designed for versatile environments—bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing tables, offices, dorms, hotels, and even vehicles like cars or trucks. Their lightweight, compact size and AC/DC compatibility make them highly adaptable for both indoor and mobile use.

 

Yes. Our fridges are dual-compatible:

  • For home use: AC 100V–120V or 220V–240V

  • For car or outdoor use: DC 12V or 24V
    They are ideal for both indoor settings and on-the-go cooling.

Yes. We offer OEM/ODM customization including color, logo, exterior shape, and functional upgrades like digital display, app remote control, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and solar charging interfaces—tailored for high-end or branded markets.

Perform regular defrosting if needed, and ensure ventilation holes remain clear. Clean the interior periodically and avoid placing the fridge in tightly enclosed areas to maintain optimal performance.
