Magic Chef MCBR440S2 mini fridge: Features
The Magic Chef MCBR440S2 mini fridge has a lot of space inside, however, this refrigerator is still quite small, measuring just 9.5 x 33.1 x 22 inches. As such, it fits neatly in a corner or under a counter in a home office or rec room. However, you will need to leave enough space around it for air to circulate freely.
Inside the fridge, there are two easy-to-clean glass shelves that you can slide into five positions to accommodate foods and containers of different heights. On the bottom, the Magic Chef MCBR440S2 has a see-through crisper drawer to keep produce fresh. At the top of the fridge sits a full-width freezer compartment that comes with an ice cube tray.
In one section of the door, there’s a can dispenser that holds six standard-size drink cans. On the upper right, the door has a small half shelf, and below that there is a half shelf that fits medium-size bottles and jars. You can store a gallon of milk, a 2-liter bottle, and another bottle in the door’s full-width bottom shelf.
This mini fridge has a reversible door – you can attach the door to either the left side or the right side, depending on which way you need it to swing open. As such, you can put the MCBR440S2 almost anywhere.
Thanks to its interior light – a feature many mini fridges don’t include – it’s easy to see inside this Magic Chef model. It also has an automatic defrost feature, which makes it easy to clean compared to models that need to be defrosted manually.
Unlike some mini fridges, you can’t use the Magic Chef MCBR440S2 in a garage, as the manufacturer recommends against doing so. Also, this fridge is a bit pricey, but you are getting more features than some of the other models.
Unlike the Black & Decker BCRK25W mini fridge, the Magic Chef mini fridge isn't Energy Star certified.
