A small, silent absorption-cooled unit at 1.1 cu ft and 18 lb. It is genuinely lightweight for its cooling method, and the matte black finish is clean. With only 10 reviews and a 4.4 rating, buyer feedback is too limited to confirm consistency. At $289 the price is steep for this capacity.
Bedroom nightstands, hotel rooms, or quiet workspace corners where silence is more valuable than storage volume.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other refrigerators and freezers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This Smeta compact fridge uses absorption cooling, which eliminates the compressor motor and the cycling noise that comes with it. The body measures 17.3 by 15.8 by 19.7 inches and weighs only 18 lb, making it one of the lighter absorption units on the market. The reversible door provides some flexibility for placement.
At 1.1 cu ft, interior space is minimal. Two shelves help organize a small stock of cans, skincare products, or snacks. The automatic defrost keeps maintenance low. Voltage is 110V, so it works on standard US outlets without adapters.
The 10-review sample at 4.4 stars is encouraging but not conclusive. Buyers who want silence will find this unit appealing. Those who prioritize value for money or reliable cooling in a non-climate-controlled space will find better options elsewhere.

Performance notes
Absorption coolers are quietest when placed on a stable, level surface in a temperature-controlled room. In cooler ambient conditions this unit will reach and hold appropriate fridge temperatures. In rooms above 80 degrees F, interior temperatures may be higher than expected. The automatic defrost handles frost without requiring manual intervention.
What buyers say
The 4.4 star rating across 10 reviews shows early buyers are satisfied, with quiet operation likely the leading factor. The small review pool makes it hard to assess durability or long-term performance. Questions to the seller or checking retailer Q-and-A sections may fill in gaps.
Can I use this Smeta fridge to cool skincare or medications?
Yes. The quiet, stable cooling of an absorption unit makes it popular for skincare fridges, and the 1.1 cu ft fits several serums or small medication vials comfortably.
Is there a temperature dial on this unit?
No. This model lists no temperature control, so cooling depth is not user-adjustable. In standard home conditions it will cool to typical refrigerator range.
