It was back at Xbox's E3 showcase in 2021 that the Xbox Mini Fridge was revealed, and it ended up proving a smash hit, leading to multiple iterations in subsequent years including a new model unveiled as recently as December 2023.
In terms of how they perform, the reviews have always been pretty good, but we've also seen some suggestions that they break too easily or they're too loud in operation - that was particularly the case with the first model in 2021.
The maker of these fridges, Ukonic, clearly isn't slowing down given the new release in December (which is actually a "proper refrigerator" compared to the other two versions), and they've even recently made an Xbox Series S toaster!
The demand definitely still seems to be there, but how do you personally feel about your decision to buy an Xbox Mini Fridge? Are you still using it in 2024? Is it still working correctly? And was it worth the money in your opinion?

Broke immediately.
@Jonnybekeww
The fridge or your wallet after buying it?
It lasted about 6 months before breaking down & leaking water everywhere.
Was never interested in that thermoelectric cooler.
Been eyeing that other fridge though with a proper cooling loop. Not pulled the trigger yet.
The day I opened it and it has a small puddle of water in the day I unplugged it and just use it for holding room temp cans of soda. Still love it and it looks good in my gamer room. Still happy. I'd consider the new real-fridge.
Mine broke after a while, the lights were still on, but it wouldn't cool anything anymore.
@VoidPunk the fridge. It was only $100.
I bought it never intending to use it. It’s still in the box and someday I might place it somewhere just for show, or to store ambient temperature drinks.
I have never had any luck with these small mini-fridges, not even the bigger square ones that are the size of two microwaves stacked on top of each other. Condensed water leaks are always a problem.
