Klarstein Audrey Mini: the retro mini fridge in 50s design

Prices in euros from Amazon.de, as of 11 June 2026. Prices and availability may differ on Amazon.co.uk.

By Seydhan Cakmak · Editor-in-chief · Updated: · AI-translated from the German original

Not every mini fridge has to look like an office appliance: the Klarstein Audrey Mini brings 50s charm to the kitchen, living room or office, with a rounded shape, chrome handle and LED interior light, in colours from cream through black to bright red. At around 68 euros it is the cheapest in the comparison. The 32 litres hold drinks, snacks and provisions for one person, and a small 5 litre freezer compartment is included for ice cubes or a few frozen items. It is a compressor unit with genuine cooling, not a struggling evaporative cooler. If you want to combine style and price without giving up proper cooling, this is the right one.

Klarstein Audrey Mini: what works, what doesn't?

What works well

  • Cheapest in the comparison: around €68, retro design at a budget price
  • Stylish 50s design: chrome handle, rounded shape, many colours, an eye-catcher instead of an office box
  • Genuine compressor cooling: cools properly cold (0 to 10 °C), not a weak evaporative cooler
  • Small freezer compartment included: 5 L for ice cubes or a few frozen items

Points of criticism

  • Small (32 L): drinks/snacks for one person, not a weekly-shop fridge
  • Freezer compartment ices up quickly: it is small and has to be defrosted manually
  • Compressor audible in silence: at 39 dB and 18.5 kg relatively heavy/loud for its size

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Klarstein Audrey Mini in everyday use: Cheapest in the comparison (around €68, retro design at a budget price) and Stylish 50s design (chrome handle, rounded shape, many colours, an eye-catcher instead of an office box). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: small (32 L), drinks/snacks for one person, not a weekly-shop fridge.

If you set the device up to save space, allow ventilation clearance of at least 5 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the rear, otherwise the compressor may overheat.

“Klarstein Audrey Mini retro fridge (32 L): cheapest in the comparison and stylish 50s design, and the trade-off is its small size (32 L). At 8.3/10 a fair deal from €68.”

Frequently asked questions about the Klarstein Audrey Mini

Which mini fridge looks the best?
The Klarstein Audrey Mini in 50s retro design is the style pick in the comparison: the rounded shape, chrome handle and colours from cream to red make it an eye-catcher in the kitchen, living room or office.
Does the Klarstein Audrey Mini have a freezer compartment?
A small 5 litre freezer compartment (2-star), meant for ice cubes or a few frozen items, not for a stock of frozen food. It ices up relatively quickly and has to be defrosted manually. If you want to freeze properly, you need a device with a larger 4-star freezer compartment such as the Comfee or Exquisit.
How many people is a 32 litre fridge enough for?
For one person as a second or drinks fridge, in the office, hobby room or bedroom. 32 litres hold drinks, snacks and a few provisions; for a household's complete weekly shop it is too small, and 80 L (Comfee) makes more sense for that.
Is the Klarstein Audrey a real fridge or a cooler?
A genuine compressor fridge: it actively cools down to 0 to 10 °C, regardless of the room temperature. That distinguishes it from thermoelectric mini coolers, which only get a few degrees below the ambient temperature. For cold drinks even on hot days, that is the important advantage.
