Rocco has shrunk its classic mini fridge, and the smaller model fits on a nightstand. The new Mini Mini is a fridge that holds up to 12 cans in a body built for tight spaces.

It is a scaled-down version of Rocco’s classic design. Rocco suggests placing it beside a bed, on a desk, or in the bathroom, where it can keep face masks and skincare cool.

It delivers the same refrigeration quality as the original in a far more compact fridge. Co-founders Alyse Borkan and Sam Naparstek also worked on noise. Oversized fans move more air at lower speeds, which keeps the unit quiet in any room.

The fridge comes in four colours: Green, Graphite, Cream, and a new Stainless Steel finish. It cools to five degrees Celsius.

Borkan explains the reasoning behind the redesign. “Most countertop fridges look like something you’d settle for. They’re bulky and not particularly nice-looking, but hey, at least you have a small fridge where you need it,” she says. “Then you live with it for a few days and find out they’re loud and barely get cold. We knew we could do better. So we took everything we love about our original fridge and made it much, much smaller.”

The Mini Mini follows two earlier collaborations. Last year, Rocco partnered with Katz’s Deli on a bright orange drinks fridge. In 2026, it worked with Gohar World on a mirror-black model that came with champagne coupes.

Other brands are also rethinking everyday appliances, as seen in AEG appliances unveiled at IFA 2026, worth a look for appliance fans.

The fridge costs $295 and is sold through Rocco’s website. For a fridge this size, the test is simple: whether it stays quiet and cold once it sits on a bedside table for a week.
