Dream Cheeky Usb Fridge, by Dream Cheeky.The Mini fridge, powered by USB, is a plastic box with a cool circle/ring shaped plate at the bottom, attached to what looks to be a heat sync with a fan. The ONLY thing this fridge will keep cool is a CANNED drink, nothing else. The fridge is designed to take away heat from only the bottom of the can. And even then, the drink does not stay very cool at all.
It's very easy to use. All you do is plug in the USB in any USB drive.
The best thing to do is have a coke or 7up (or whatever) in a regular sized fridge until it's cold. Then you can take it out and keep it cool for maybe an hour in the mini fridge, so you need to drink it pretty fast.
And the blue LED light is not bright at all.
If you're contemplating whether or not to get this product, I would say DO NOT get it. If you're looking for a mini fridge, spend a bit of extra money on something that will actually work.
The mini USB fridge is a neat Idea, it just does not work in practice. You plug into a USB port, it leaches power to run a fan on a heat sink, and does indeed cool the plate in the bottom of the fridge. The way cans are designed though, it doesn't make enough contact to transfer the heat.
It may keep an already cold drink cool, especially if the container is flat bottomed and makes good contact with the cooling plate.
I'll keep mine, might be an interesting hack project for something else, and it looks cool. Read More
