The SWITCH Infinity Portable Mini Fridge cools 15–20°C below the temperature of wherever it is standing. That figure is the whole story, because it is a relative number rather than a fixed one — and what it means in practice is the first thing worth being clear about.

1. What “15–20°C below ambient” means in the UAE
A kitchen fridge reaches a fixed target — 4°C, say — regardless of how warm the kitchen is. Compact fridges of this type work differently: they pull the interior down by a set margin below the surrounding air, not down to a set number.
Worked through on real UAE conditions:
In an air-conditioned room at 24°C — the interior sits between roughly 4°C and 9°C. Genuine fridge-cold.
In an unconditioned room at 35°C — the interior sits between roughly 15°C and 20°C. Cool water, not chilled.
In a car parked in summer sun — cabin temperatures pass 60°C, and there is no useful cooling to be had. That is not a fault in this unit; it is how every fridge of this type behaves.
The practical rule: run it while the car is air-conditioned, and do not expect miracles in an open car park in August.
2. Why there is no freezer, and never will be
There is no compressor inside, and that cuts both ways.
The upside: no compressor means no vibration and no repeated start-stop noise. It can sit on a bedside table or a desk, and it can be moved and tilted without concern — something you cannot do with a compressor fridge.
The downside: it does not freeze, ever, it does not hold fixed temperatures, and its performance falls as the surrounding air gets warmer. If you need guaranteed storage below 5°C for perishable food, this is the wrong tool.
3. Power at home and in the car
Two adaptors are supplied: one for mains power and one for the car socket.
The figures SWITCH publishes are 220–240V at 50W on mains, and 12V at 36W in a vehicle.
The note that saves a car battery: 36W is a continuous draw on the cigarette-lighter socket. Most cars cut power to that socket when the engine stops — but if yours keeps it live, do not leave the fridge connected for hours with the engine off, because it will flatten the battery.
There is no internal battery, so it needs a power source connected at all times; it will not run on its own inside a bag.
Official specifications are published on SWITCH’s own product page.
4. Real capacity, size and lighting
Capacity is 4 litres, which SWITCH states as six standard drink cans — a published figure rather than an estimate. This is a fridge for one person or two, not a family cooler for a day trip.
Published dimensions are 180 × 270 × 244 mm. Measure the space before ordering, and leave clearance around it, since units of this type shed heat from the back.
The interior light offers seven selectable colours, and there is a mirror in the door. To be direct: these are cosmetic rather than functional — they matter if the fridge will live on a vanity or a gaming desk, and they matter not at all if it will live in a boot.
5. Who this does not suit
Not for anyone needing freezing or guaranteed cooling — there is no freezer and no fixed temperature.
Not for a car parked in direct sun — at cabin temperatures above 60°C it will not deliver a useful difference.
Not for anyone wanting a fridge that runs without power — there is no battery; it needs a continuous connection.
Not for a family on a day trip — four litres is six cans and no more.

FAQ
Does it cool like a kitchen fridge?
No. It lowers the interior 15–20°C below the surrounding air rather than reaching a fixed temperature. In an air-conditioned room that is close to fridge-cold; in a hot room it is cool water only.
Does it freeze or make ice?
Neither. There is no freezer compartment, and it does not reach freezing temperatures under any conditions.
Can I leave it running with the engine off?
Not advisable. It draws 36W continuously, which will flatten a car battery if the cigarette-lighter socket stays live after the engine stops.
How much does 4 litres actually hold?
Six standard drink cans. Suitable for one person or two, not for a family.
Is it waterproof?
No IP rating is published for it, so treat it as an indoor and in-vehicle appliance and keep it dry.
Does it heat as well?
No, this model cools only. For cooling and heating in one unit, see the Green Lion GMF-65 Mini Fridge.
What about warranty and delivery?
1-year warranty from Totot against manufacturing defects, and returns within 14 days for defective items. Aramex delivery across the UAE for AED 10, with cash on delivery, Tabby and Tamara available.
