Overview
The Cooluli CL4LBK measures 7.7 by 10.2 by 10.5 inches and weighs 1.9 lb. It is one of the lightest units in the compact fridge category. Two shelves and a left-side door give it more interior usability than most single-shelf personal coolers at this size. It runs on 110V and has no temperature adjustment dial.
Cooluli leans heavily into the skincare and beauty fridge market, and this model is the company's most reviewed product. The thermoelectric system keeps things quiet and lightweight. Cooling depth follows ambient temperature, typically running 20 to 30 degrees below room temperature. In a standard air-conditioned room, interior temps land in the mid-40s to low 50s F range.
The manual defrost means you will occasionally wipe the interior to remove any frost. At this size and price, that is a minor ask. The 27,900 ratings at 4.4 stars make this one of the most confidence-inspiring choices in the personal cooler segment.

Performance notes
Thermoelectric cooling with no moving parts keeps this unit quiet and energy-light. Cooling performance in a 70-degree room typically puts interior temps in the 45 to 52 degree F range. Ambient temperature changes will affect interior temperature proportionally. For skincare products, beverages, and snacks, this is more than adequate. For meat or dairy storage, a compressor unit is required.
What buyers say
With nearly 28,000 ratings at 4.4 stars, Cooluli CL4LBK has the clearest positive signal in the personal mini fridge space. Buyers in skincare and beauty use cases are particularly enthusiastic. The minority of lower ratings typically come from buyers expecting compressor-level cooling.
Yes, it is one of the most popular choices for skincare refrigeration. The quiet, consistent cool is well-suited for serums, eye creams, and sheet masks. Just avoid storing anything that requires strict cold-chain temperatures.
Can the Cooluli CL4LBK also heat things?
The base CL4LBK model is a cooler only. Cooluli makes models with a dual cool and warm function, so check the specific listing if you need heating capability.
How often does it need defrosting?
Usage and humidity determine frequency. In a moderately humid environment with regular opening and closing, a light wipe-down every few weeks is typical. It does not build up heavy frost quickly.
